When Nature is overtaxed , she has
UHFAlLifIGSIGN THAT her oven way of giving notice that assist
ance is needed. She does not ask for
help until it is impossible to get along without
RATUBE iS APPEALING it. Boils and pimples are an indication that
the system is accumulating impurities which
COD UC ! D must be gotten rid of ; they arc an urgent appeal for assistance
1 UII FiZL 1 i a warning that can not safely be ignored.
To neglect to purify the blood at this
time means more than the annoyam-e of painful boils and
unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to
remain , the system succumbs to any ordinary illness , and is
unable to withstand the many ailments which are so
prevalent during spring and summer.
Mrs. L. Gentile , 5J004 Second Avenue , Seattle. "Wash. ,
says : " I was afflicted for a long time with pimples , which
were very annoying , as they disfigured my face fearfully. -
After using many other remedies in vain. S S. S. promptly
and thoroughly cleansed my blood , and now I rejoice in
a coed complexion , which J never had before. "
Capt. W. H. Dunlap , of the A. G. S.
R. R. , Chattanooga. Tenn. , writes :
" Several boils and carbuncles broke out upon me , causing
great pain and annoyance. My blood seemed to be in
a riotous condition * and nothing I took seemed to do
any good. Six bottles of S. S. S. cured me completely
and my blood has been perfectly pure ever since. " -
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
is the best blood remedy , because it is purely vegetable
and is the only one that is absolutely free from potash and mercury. It
promptly purifies the blood and thoroughly cleanses the system , builds up
the general health and strength. It cures Scrofula , Eczema , Cancer , Rheuma
tism , Tetter , Boils , Sores , etc. , by going direct to the cause of the trouble and
forcing out all impure blood.

Resolutions and Suggestions.
On Friday , Dec ist , ihe Woman's
Christian Temprance Union held their
regular mothers' meeting at the Congre
galionul chn'rch. Much of the regular
business was carried over to Friday o
this "week , Dec. isth , this meeting to be
held at the home of Mrs. J. I. Lee , 5i
west part of town. Among the things
attended too was suitable acknowledge
uient , by the Union , of their gratefu
appreciation of the collection on Thanks
giving day , which was donated to this
work. They also ordered a picture o
Miss Frances E. Willard for the High
School building , that the pupils may be
come familiar with the dear face whose
life and thought were used in an endeavor
to make safe paths for the young. The
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted and the mo'iun duly carried
that the city papers be requested to give
them publication :
Whereas , We , the members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union , in regular ses
sion assembled , do understand fiom statistics
ofsgood" authority , that crime , immorality am
vice are alarmingly on the increase among' the
youth of our land. Having , as mothers , wives
and sisters of the young people and children
their welfare on our minds and hearts , we
present the following resolutions :
First , That we ask the co-operation o
the fathers and mothers , on these lines : Tha
they inform themselves where their children
spend their play-time ; that they be allov/ec
only sufficient lime to reach their respective
school buildings ; that they be required to
return to their respective homes immediately
after the close of its sessions and that on no
account are their evenings to be spent on
the street after dark , but rather seek to plan
and interest them , and thus keep them in the
safe shelter of their homes , unless properly
escorted.
Second , That the custom of presenting the
young ladies , in society , when arriving at a
suitable age , has its recommendations , in this
way : A young girl is shielded from evil asso
ciates until she shall have learned to judge
others and to value herself , her character and
her responsibility to God. To this end we
plead that our girls be kept girls until mind ,
body and judgment are matured and character
and right principles formed ; and that our
boys be boys , and enjoy their youthful days in
a clean , legitimate way. We realize that many
of them are wasting health and strength that
should be carefully guarded in their immature
years , and that youthful marriages , as a rule ,
are not abiding , as the evidences from the
divorce courts abundantly testify , and that the
degeneration of the American people will
surely follow such conditions.
Third , We also ask that honorable body , the
mayor and members of our city council , to
cooperate with us and the parents in this way ,
that all places of business be closed at a
seasonable hour , thus removing much of the
allurement for both old and young , and in this
way releasing from duty those who have been
Behind the counters and in the offices since the
morning hours , realizing that the All-wise
father knew our needs when he made the
night for rest and sleep.
In all the foregoing we plead , not for our
own alone , but for you and yours , the tempted
and weak ones.and to insure to the innocent
heir rightful heritage.
All of which is duly submitted.

Took Carbolic Acid.
Word was received here , last Saturday ,
from Akron , of the sad and shocking sui
cide , by drinking carbolic acid , of Mrs.
Carl Smith , formerly Mary Swarlz , a
bride of a night. Both are remembered
by many here , both having been employ
ed in the Commercial hotel here -during
the regime of T A Erb in that hostelrie.
The remains of the unfortunate woman
were shipped here , Sunday morning , and
from this point taken over to Herndon ,
Kansas , for interment. Her husband ,
Carl Smith , was a clerk in the Akron
lunch counter , while she was a dining-
room gill in the eating house at that
place.

IVORY SOAP PASTE.
In fifteen- minutes , with only a cake of Ivory Soap and- water ,
you can make a better cleansing paste than you can buy.
Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing ; and will clean
carpets , rugs , kid gloves , slippers , patent , enamel , russet leather and
canvas shoes , leather belts , painted wood-work and furniture. The
special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that it
can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles
that cannot be washed because they will not stand the free applica
tion of water.
