C<2 C PURELY O. We Oe VEGETABLE It is a generally recognized truth that medicines made from vegetable ingredients are a great deal better adapted to the delicate human system, and safer in every way, than those composed of strong (mineral mixtures and compounds. Mercury, potash, arsenic, etc., which are used in the manufac ture of most blood medicines, are too violent in their action, and frequently derange the system by disturbing the stomach and digestion, affecting the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period often cause Rheumatism. S S. S. is the only blood medicine guaranteed absolutely and purely vegeta ble. It is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purify ing and healing qualities. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism. Catarrh, Sores and I leers, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood diseases, because it cleanses and purifies the blood, and at the same time builds up the entire system bv its fine vegetable tonic effects.

One or two. more timofous, began to tel! about that those cries were not the xyhippoorwill’s calls at all, but. the plainly of ghosts that might be seen -flitting dimly about above the shrubbery through the late, hours on all dark nights. The more practical residents there abouts laughed these tales to scorn, but "they also had their complaint, and they took it to the park commission with a demand that the Springvale lake he drained to rid it of its suddenly ac quired pest of frogs. The park board didn’t drain it. They took the word of Joel Hurt, who built Inman Park, that there weren’t enough frogs to speak of. When Hurt, backed by Major Guinn, offered J1 for every wiggletail found in the lake the com missioners declined to investigate fur ther any claim that Springvale reeks xvith pests. The board also accepted Mr. Hurt’s denial of another claim that mosquitoes had appeared. The sanitary commission did take action. It put oil on the lake surface to drive away the frogs, and for a time things were a bit more quiet. But a little later Inman Park residents began to see strange men lurking in the shad ows. A burglary epidemic happened around there about that time, and those who weren’t superstitious joined the police in the belief that that park had become a rendezvous for tramps. Even Children Desert the Park. Rut the ghost stories would not down I hey have gained such credence among certain folk in that vicinity that chil dren do not play as much in Springvale, even by day. as they used to before the despondent girl hanged herself to the tree there. The residents disagree about the visitations, but complaints re cur, and I hex' have forced the matter up to the park board again, with the re newed demand that something strenu ous be done to rid the place of its nui sances- whether they are ghostly or things in nature. Sorely puzzled, the commissioners have been casting about for a solution of the problem for weeks. While they consider Mr. Bond's plan for a salt sowing they are also giving heed to a petition headed by W. L. Percy and J. H. Porter urging that the lake be drained and made over into a sunken garden. Rut Mr. Rond insists that the com plaints of the superstitious will rmver be stopped until the saline sesame ir employed, and more than one of the commissioners think the scheme, how ever silly, might not be a bad plan by wax of winning the board some peace of mind.
