SORES AMD
ULCERS.
Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is in poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw oil
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys
tem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
1 n ffl A CONSTANT DRAIN
AlS&. -0 THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old
indolent sorts to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alienate pain, cannot reach the scat
of the trouble, h. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, difeased bodv.
Mr. J B- Talbcrt. LocV Box JivWinona, Wit,
says; "Six ytara ago roy leg Irora the Lute to
the foot was one aotid tore Sertrat phriiciana
treated me and I made two trip to Hot bpringa,
but found no relief I waa induced to try S. S. S .

cubic blood purifier

poisonous minerals to

when scratched, bruised or cut, your blood

By the first of next week farmers In this
vicinity expect to sow their wheat. Tbe

has made a greater demand for feed and
men who have devoted tbe greater part
of their farm to wheat find it necessary to
grow more feed for their cattle and sheep.
The number of cattle and sheep In the

this times Is nearly double, a great many

KANSAS CITY. March 21. An lnvcstlgt
tlon Into the alleged Illegal cutting of
freight rates on eastbound shipments of
fresh meats and packing house products
was begun in the federal court room here
today by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion. Judson C. Clements of Georgia Is
acting as chairman of the commission In
the absence of Chairman M. A. Knapp f

are James D. Yeomans of Iowa. Charles A.
Prouty of Vermont and Joseph W. Flfer of
Illinois, besides Judgo W. A. Day. at
torney, and J. T. Marchand. special agent
The commission may be in session sev
eral days, and freight agents are said to
fear that criminal prosecutions for viola
tion of the Interstate commerce law may
follow the Inquiry. Several local traffic
officials were examined and, according to
tbe testimony brought out, there never
was a freight rate secretly cut In Kansas
City. From the line of questions asked
It was evident that it was suspected that
shipments carried on export rates were
diverted at the Atlantic seaboard and did
not go abroad.
