Hurlburt of Fort Dodge. Ia. .ex-president of the National Retail Jewelers' association, who addressed the Nebraska association at Its closing session. "The parcels poet Is Just as sure as fate, as it means the greatest good to the great est number, and God Almighty Himself cannot stop that measure. Those who are going on record against the measure are going to look like monkeys In less than five years.' declared air. Hurlbut with emphasis. "I sm going to use ny home county as an Illustration. It is a good one and I want to tell you the same condition exists this country over. There are S0.O0O farmers ia my home county who will be benefited by a parcels post. You must acknowledge that the parcels post will be a benefit to them. If it Injures snyone. snd we hsve no reason to know that it will, the parcels poet will Injurs lees than S00 merchants. "That is the proposition you have before you (0.000 people are benefited by some thing which It Is thought will Injure SOS. Ton know what congress will think of that proportion. They are going to establish the thing which will work the greatest good to the greatest number. fa ape Cenntrr KercfcsBts. "The trouble wllh the Country merchants who sre opposed to the parcels post is that they are la the wrong. They have lived along and thought they should make Uti per cent profit on everything which they have to sell. If they bad not been wrnwg ws would not have had the catalogue houses. The catalogue bouses gained en trance to the world of trade because they sold things at s reasonable profit, while the merchants were still wealing lo make low per cent. "Now, slues the "paixtU poet la coming. ws ought to sit down snd think out a way Qt making U serve vur business and la- crease our profits Inatead of kicking against a stone wall. The kicking la not going to do any good. Personally I will take my chance with every catalogue house In the country. I am doing It now and we both have the -advantage of the rural free deliv ery. Merchants ought to be aMe to com pete with the catalogue houses with a parcels post and they ought to make prices which will enable them to do so." President, i. P. Archibald, who arrived In Omaha, took the floor. He drew a gloomy picture of what would happen If a parcels poet were secured: 'The country lost $15,000,000 Isat year In Its Poatoffice department." he said. "What do you think It would lose if a parcels post stands for better health the world over. For more than 30 years it has stood the test of millions of people. Every ounce of it improves the gen eral conditions, increases the strength, revitalizes and builds up the whole body. If you have never taken it, try It now. AU.

THE REMEDY The combination 'of healthful vegetable ingredients ol which & S. S. is composed, makes it an especially desirabls and eflectire reined in the treat inent of sores and ulcers of everr kind. Since an imonre condition of the blood is responsible for the trouble, a medicine that can purify the blood ia the only hope of a successful cure; and it should be a medicine that not only cleanse the circulation, but one that at the same time restores the blood to its normal, rich, nutritire condition. S. & & is lust such a remedy. It ia made entirely of healing, cleansing vegetable properties, extracted from na ture's roots, herbs and barks of the forest and fields. It has Ions; been recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing- the qualities necessary to remove everr impurity ia the blood. When S. 6- 8. has purified the circulation, and strengthened and enriched it, sores and ulcers heal read ily and surely, because they are no longer fed and kept open by a continual discharge into them of irritating disease-laden matter from the blood. S. 8. S. brings about a healthy condition of the flesh byaupplying it with rich, nourishing blood and makes a permanent and lasting cure.
