who have iuherited this legacy of disease. Parents who are blood relations
or who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are
sure to transmit it to tbeir offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula.
Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, sores and eruptions on the body.
Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal ways in
which the trouble is manifested. In some cases tlie blood is so filled with,
scrofulous genus and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity
because of suffering and a total lack of health, while in other instances
favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease in check until
later in life A deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached
bv the very best constitutional treatment. A remedy is required that can
renovate the entire blood supplyand drive out the scrofulous and tuberculous
deposits. S. S. S. is the greatest of all
blood purifiers ; it goes to the very bottom
of all blood disorders and removes every
taint and poison from the circulation,

weak, diseased blood with the rich, health-
sustaining properties it is in need of, and
makes this life stream fit to supply every part of the system with strength,

fier. Write for book on the blood and any medical advice desired. No

MI SUCH l THING
IS HINTED MONEY
WASHINGTON, March 13.—A goodly
number of American vessels will watch
with Interest the entry into Hampton
Roads of tho big Japanese armored crui
ser. Tsukuga. Their interest is explained
by two facts, first, that this ship, with a
speed on natural draft of about 22 knots,
which is better than any of ,our own crui
sers can do. was turned out from a Japa
nese shipyard by Japanese workmen, who
are just beginning naval construction;
yet, according to naval experts, the shin
is perfect in every detail. Second, that
the Tsukuga was under commission and
on the high seas within two years from
the date her keel was laid down in Japan.
No such speed of construction as this
has over been attained in American ship
yards, at least where naval work was in
volved. and the best British record, name
ly. in the case of the Dreadnaught, is
only slightly better than that made by
the Japanese shipwrights in the building
of the Tsukuga.

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN
DENIES ALLEGED REMARK
ATHENS, Ga., March 13.—President
Jacob G. Sehurman, of Cornell University,
denies having stated that “the Rocke
feller donation would cease to be tainted
money if it should be used for the pur
pose of civilizing the South.”
This denial is made in a letter to Chan
cellor David C. Barrow, of the University
of Georgia.
Chancellor Barrow and other Georgia
educators were the guests of President
Sehurman and Cornell University a few
days before the alleged statement of
President Schudman was made. On his
return to Georgia and before any notice
had been made in the press of this inci
dent. Chancellor Harrow wrote President
Sehurman returning his thanks for the
hospitable treatment accorded the Georgia
party at Cornell. In President Sehnr-
man’s reply to this letter, he refers to
the alleged interview on the subject of
the Rockefeller donation, having evidently
a desire to set himself right on the sub
ject.
In this letter to Chancellor Barrow is
the following statement: “Certainly the
remarks attributed to me were never
made by me, hor was anything further
from my thoughts than criticism or dis
paragement of Southern civilization.
American civilization seems pretty much
the same North and South, and for one I
should hesitate to sav that it is higher
in one part of the country than in an
other. What I did say was that I hoped

Without that story ill evidence, he
declared; the reason for the defendant’s
alleged insanity disappears. The Pros
ecutor plainly admitted the importance
of young Mrs. Thaw’s testimony and
he said he wished by Hummel’s testi
mony to show her own repudiation of
the charges which on the witness stand
; she renewed against White.

that Stanford White had taken her to

of horrid things about Harry." and
that she had told Hummel about her
trip through Europe with Thaw. She
said: “Mr. Hummel then dictated a
lot of things to a man and pul in lots
about Harry Thaw which was not true
at all.”
She denied signing any paper in
