SQ Q FORTY YEARS
•o*o. OF CURES
Long experience and thorough testing have proven S. S. S. to be the
oi blood purifiers and the greatest of all tonics. For nearly half a
century S. S. S. has been used in the treatment of blood and skin diseases
of every character, and so satisfactory have been the results that it is now
'.he best known and most widely used blood medicine on the market. S. S. S.
l .tracted attention as soon as it was placed on the market by curing
promptly those diseases for which it was recommended, and we have so
jealously guarded its first good reputation, by keeping it up to its standard
in manufacture, that it now has the unequalled and pleasing record of
“Forty Years Os Cures . “ For Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula,
Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison, and all
other diseases due to an impure or poisoned condition of the blood, there is
nothing that equals S. S. S. It counteracts and removes the germs and
poisons, cleanses the system of all unhealthy matter, cures the trouble per
manently, and restores strong, robust health. Where the blood is weak or
anaemic and unable to nourish the system as it should, S. S. S. supplies it
with the needed properties, and being a bracing, invigorating tonic it builds
up the entire system. It goes to the very bottom of all blood disorders, and
in this way reaches deep-seated and inherited cases on which the ordinary
aarsaparillas and tonics have little or no effect. Not only is S. S. S.
certain in its results, but it is an absolutely safe medicine. It enjoys
the distinction of being the only blood medicine on the market that is guar
anteed purely vegetable. If you are in need of a blood remedy begin the
use of S. S. S., the medicine that has proven its worth by its record of fortv
years of cures. Book on the blood and any medical advice vou wish. No
charge for either. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA*

President Reaches Memphis
And Convention Today.
15 fEETCHICAGO TO SEW ORLEANS
Tnat is the Scheme That the Great
Middle West is Determined to Put
Through-Great Speeches from
Leading Men of That Section.
MEMPHIS, TENN., October 3.
! (Special)—Memphis, the gateway to
I Dixie, will surpass itself in the en
j thusiasm of its welcome to President
| Roosevelt and the hundreds of other
distinguished men who will be the
guests of the city daring the Gulf-to
the-Lakes Deep Waterways conven
tion, opening here tomorrow. The
president and his party, the gover
nors of Mississippi valley states and
the members of the inland waterways
commission are expected to reach
Memphis shortly after noon tomor
row, and will be greeted by reception
committees headed by Mayor Malone
and other prominent citizens of the
city. The president’s address will
be delivered in the auditorium, where
the waterways convention will be in
session. Special excursions are ex
pected to bring thousands of visitors
| from Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississip
pi and Louisiana.
Already the streets of the city
have assumed a festive appearance,
bunting and flags making a riot of
color and profusion. A welcome arch
at the entrance on Main street, bear
ing a picture of the president, will
greet the visitors when they leave
the boat. Other arches have been
erected at street intersections, and on
all of these hundreds of lights will
gleam at night.
In .the convention hall the central
feature of the decorations is a big
picture of President Roosevelt, flank
ed by portraits of the governors who
will he in attendance at the conven
tion.
Some Great Speeches.
The program arranged for the con
vention includes addresses tomorrow
morning by President W. K. Kava
naugh, Lyeman E. Cooley, of Chicago;
John L. Vance, president of the Ohio
Valley Improvement association, and
Joseph E. Ransdell, president of the
National Rivers and Harbors con
gress.
Governor Patterson will welcome
the president on behalf of the State
of Tennessee upon his arrival at the
the auditorium tomorrow afternoon.
Following President Roosevelt’s
speech, Gov. Joseph W. Folk, of Mis
souri, will deliver an address on
“The Commercial Value of Water
ways to the State of Missouri.” At
the night session the speakers will be
Governor Charles S. Deneen, of Jlli
| nois, on “The Duty of the Govern-
I ment with Respect to the Deep Wa-
I terway,” and Governor Albert B.
Cummins, of lowa, on “The Import
j ance to the Commerce of the United
States of Improving the Upper Mis
sissippi River.”
On Saturday addresses will be
made by Governor X. O. Pindall, of
Arkansas; John Burke, of North Da
kota; Napoleon P. Broward, of Flor
ida; George E. Chamberlain, of Ore
gon, and Bryant B. Brooks, of Wyo
ming.
For Deep Waterways
In point of the attendance and en
thusiasm the second annual conven
tion of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterway Association, which assem
bles here tomorrow, will be the great
est demonstration of the supporters
of the inland waterways movement
j that has ever been held in America.
The central figure at the convention
will be President Roosevelt, who will
deliver an address at the opening ses
sion. Delegates appointed by the
boards of trade, chambers of com
merce and similar organizations
throughout the Middle West and
South, together with members of
i Congress and celebrated engineers,
j are arriving on every train, and in
| some cases on special trains charter
ed for their accomodation. Other del
egates, including the governors of a
score of States and the members of
I the Inland Waterways Commission,
j will arrive by boat tomorrow.
What the Work Is.
The great project in which all
these prominent men are interested
and which has been undertaken by
the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Water
ways Association, is the securing of
a fourteen-foot stage of water, the
year round, from New Orleans up the
Mississippi river, and through the
drainage canal to Chicago. This
would be a navigable waterway about
1„500 miles long, of which the first
forty-mile section, from Chicago to
[ Joliet, has been practically complet
ed at a cost approximately, of $53,-

000,000. Plans have been completed
for a second division from Joliet to
St. Louis, a distance of 230 miles, the
cost being fixed by engineers at $31,-
500,000.
The section of 186 miles from St.
Louis to Cairo is at present under
survey and will probably cost $73,-
000,000, according to the estimatesof
government engineers. From Cairo to
the Red river,, the last section of 746
miles, the only difficulty is the dredg
ing out of a fourteen-foot channel.
Ths State of Illinois has paid for
the greater part of the building of the
drainage canal to Joliet, and the as
sociation at its present convention
will consider the advisability of ask
ing the government t oappropriate
$10,000,000 a year for the five years,
to carry on the work, or to issue
bonds for the purpose.
Would Benefit Large Section.
The movement for the establish
ment of a deep waterway from the
great lakes to the Gulf, though of
comparatively recent origin, has at
tracted wide attention and has en
listed practically the solid support of
the Mississippi Valley States. Gov
ernment engineers directed by Con
gress to survey the proposed water
way have already reported that the
project was feasible, and Congress at
its last session authorized appropria
tions of $190,000 to defray the ex
pense of the survey.
The benefits to be derived by a
large section of the middle West and
South by the completion of this great
improvement scheme have been read
ily recognized and appreciated. All
the States of the Mississippi Vallfey
have been prompt in their indorse
ment of the project, while the resi
dents of sections more remote, but
also standing to benefit immensely
from such an enterprise, have not
hesitated to voice their approval.
At the banquet, which will con
clude the convention, the speakers
and their topics will be as follows:
“The Pleasantness of American Life,”
Governor Henry A. Buchtel of Colo
rado; “Fourteen Feet Through the
Valley,” John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi; “Kansas and Transpor
tation,” Governor Edward W. Hoch
of Kansas, and the “Value to Louis
iana of the Deep Waterway,” Gover
nor Newton C. Blanchard, of Louis
iana.
In addition to those named above it
is expected that a number o f other'
governors, congressmen and other
public men will make informal talks
during the two days the convention
will be in session.
