7 1 r . eg MDS The healthy color of the skin is given to it by the millions of little red corpuscles in the blood. These are the carriers of nourishment, health and strength to all parts of the body in other "words the very 'life of the blood. When the germs of Malaria get into this vital fluid they destroy these corpuscles and rob the blood of its rich, lifes-ustaining qualities, ren dering it thin, weak and watery and unable to supply the system with the needed strength to resist disease. Then the symptoms of Malaria such as pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion, a general 'let down" condition of the system, and perhaps chills and slight fever, show that this insidious disease is gradually affecting the entire health. Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation, and the medicine to accomplish this is S. S. S. It not only cleanses the blood of all impure, unhealthy matter, but rids the system of Malaria, and restores the blood to a strong, healthy condition. S. S. S., besides removing the germs of Malaria, builds up and gives tone and vigor to the entire system by its fine tonic effects. Malaria is a blood disease, and S. S. S. cures it because it is a perfect blood purifier. Book on the blood and any medical advice, without charge.

BY STORM, Stories of Vessels Wrecked and Ship ping in Distress Telegraph and Telephone Poles and Wires Blown Down. Halifax, N. S., November 5. Dis patches today havejbeen pouring into this city bringing news of vessels wrecked or in distress, of wires pros trated and of damage done by gale and sea along the coasts of Nova Sco tia, Cape Breton, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Four vessol3 were driven ashore, another after hav ing everything movable on deck wash ed away, was forced to put back to the port from which she had sailed, and the steamer Turret Bell, which went aground on the north side of Prince Edward Island last week, wis driven further in shore. The storm was most violent in the Northumberland strait. Two schooners and one bark were swept aground in this strait and a third schooner was wrecked near the en stern entrance. The Norwegian bark Adeona, tried to weather, the ile off Rexton, N. B., but damaged her anchors and Touuded .on north reef. She sprang a leak. The tremendous seas made it impossible ior any vessel to so to her assistance caving her crew of twelve helpless in the severe cold and heavy gale and in danger of beinjj swept overboard or dyinu; from exposure. Near the same place the schooner Alexander, lumber laden, went ashore, j Tbe Windsor, N. S., schooner Omega, i lost her sails on Wednesday last when off Charlotte town, and the seas wash ing over her, carried away her cabins and deck load. She drifted swiftly for thirty miles across Northumberland strait, until she finally brought up on the rocks at Fox Point, on the northern coast of Nova Scotia. Her crew of four men had been obliged to man the pumps with practically no rest since Wednesday and during all that time they had neither food nor drink, all their supplies having been swept over board. When they were rescued al most overcome by exhaustion and ex posure, soon after the vessel grounded. The schooner probably will be a total loss. A New Foundland schooner, the identity of which has not been yet learned, was wrecked last night at Camp Bells Cove at the eastern end of Prince Edawrd Island. The crew succeeded in getting ashore safely. The 1.736 tons steamer Turret Bell which is valued at $100,000, probably will prove a total wreck off Cabell Head, P. E. I., on the north coast, where she went ashore last week. Numerous fishing boats on the north side of Prince Edward Island were broken up during the gale last night. On land, telegraph and telephone poles and wrires throughout the mari time provinces were blown down, and it was not until today that communi cation could be restored. MEDICAL FALLACIES. Some of the Things We Have Believed in ITcld Vp to llidicule. Mr. Thomas A. Edison's most re cent appearance in print is in tho role of a plaintiff against a patent medi cine company which was using his pho tograph and testimonial on a medi-.iae which he himself compounded. Inci dentally, he says his medicine will cure. This draws the attention of the New York Times to an article by Dr. L. K. Hirshburg, in the current American Magazine in which he says that saw dust poultices will cure boils, bee stings and mumps as well as flax-seed cr other poultices; that sage, saxifrage and beef tea never relieved a bodily disorder; that mustard foot-baths, hot lemonade, hot Scotches, whiskey and quinine, are all alike hopeless for colds that faulty logic stops a nosebleed by ) pinching the patient's lip, and that boils will no more "purify the blood" than electric belts will ward off ghostly maladies. According to the medical authority quoted by the Times a boil is an ex aggerated pimple caused by the incur sion of noxious germs from withou upon slight abrasions of the skin. That is why men who wear stiff collars -arc more subject to this affection than women. The healing agent, if anr, in poultices and in the various effu sions of herbs and other concoctions for external applications is the hot water. But colds must run their course and stop themselves. Hot water olive oil, or Worcestershire sauce would do as well as any other prepar- ation for bniises and stiff muscles; it is ino riinhmc thnt noalc nnt tho liniTnirit the rubbing that heals.not the liniment, Porouse plasters and other counter ir ritants are as a rule useless. Nose bleeds rarely last more than a few min utes. Nature aids quickly, and the specific gets the credit. Further Dr. Hirshburg is quoted as' saying that some very serious diseases, such as pneumonia, typhoid and consumption, that used to be drugged in all manner of ways, are now let alone by the best practitioners after the patient has been made clean and comfortable, while a greater percentage of cases than for merly make recoveries. The crisis of a particular disease is not necessarily on an odd day, as a third, the seventh, or the ninth. Obesity is not caused by over-much drinking of water or cured by its abstention. Sleeping after meals is not unhealthful. Dyes in stockings is not poisonous, and taking limewater will not cure warts. It is established that foul air never causes malaria: in variably it is the anopheles mosquito. But for these pests the neighborhood of swamps would be as healthful as j the highest plateau. Air heavy with gases and odors of decay usually i3 considered harmful because of the stench, but it is not, as workers in issecting rooms and tanneries may testify.

"harlotte Observer. DR. J. B: HRHHEWS iSUIGIQE Takes His Own Life in a Balti more Boarding House. NO REASON GIVEN FOR ACTION But it is Believed That Die Did This Rather Than Serve the Sentence Im posed on 111m for Wife Murder. This Case Was Notable in North Carolina and Attracted Widespread Interest. In a cheap lodging house on East Baltimore street, at some time during the 24 hours preceeding 2 o'clock this after noon, Dr. J. Baxter Matthews, of Greensboro, X. C-, blew out his brains with a shot from a 32-calibre revolver. Dr. Matthews was convicted March 9, 1906, at Greensboro, N. C, of the poisoning of his wife December 1, 1905. He had been out of custody "un der bail pending the decision of his appeal for a new trial, which was denied him, and relatives and bonds men have been searching for him for some weeks that he might be taken be fore the court to be re-sentenced. In the absence of any definite reason for ins taKing nis me, it is supposed inai he did so rather than serve the sen- tence. said to be twenty years in ine i penitentiary; to be imposed on him. At the lodging house where he ended his life he gave the name of E. J. Graham. Immediately after his conviction, which was of murder in the second degree, Dr. Matthews became a pa t Mount Hope Retreat, near this city, and was there under treatment for the morphine and liquor habit for some months, finally being discharged as cured.

He immediately summoned a jury and went to the scene Where the body was found and viewed the remains, after which they were removed to his home where an inquest was held, and where it was found after several wit nesses were examined that a murder had been committed . and that the young man, whose name was Oscar Hoskins, had come to his death by a blow dealt him Saturday morning with an axe handle in the hands of Ernest Pipkin. It seems that the two young men were working 'for the Bell Lumber Company, of Mt.

Ycung Hos kins was cursing Pipkin and the lat ter told him to stop doing so or he would knock him in the head. Hos kin3 jumped down off cf his log cart and told Pipkin to hit him, whereupon the latter drew back the ax handle, holding the ax in his hand and dealt Haskins a blow, knocking him down. Friends separated the pair and no more was thought of the incident un til Hoskins' oxen wos found in the woods and he was missing.

(Special to The Messenger.) Clinton, X. C, November 5. A de plorable accident occurred at the homo of Mr. Ab. Wallace, a worthy white farmer, two miles south of CHnto. on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Wallace went to shoot a beef that was in a pasture and while passing through his field paw a bird light upon a corn stalk. He fired at the bird with a Winchester rifle which he was carrying. Following the shot he was startled by a scream and running in the direction from which It came found that the bullet had struck his twelve year old daugh- tratlng the brain. Death followed in I a verv few minutes. The father was almost distracted over the tragic acci dent. The child was more than three hundred yards from him, picking cot ton in company with two other chil dren, and could not be seen from the position occupied by Mr. Wallace. The fatality was due to the long range of the pun fired by him which was of 32 calibre. Ex-Senator Marion Butler addressed his fellow citizens in the court house her? today.

Char- lotte Nevus. t TIU'XKS FILTiKl WITH COUOS Administrator of liostori Wom in's Ks taU Finds Valuable Collection. A collection of antique and modern jewels of much interest is on view in Providence. It is a collection which came into the hands of Whittier and Tanner through the administrator, who is a friend of the senior member of the firm, and is said to be one of the finest aggregations of antique and modern jewelry ever brought together in this country, the inventory reading like a. tale of the "Arabian Nights." It was collected by a wealthy Boston woman, who. for over half a century, devoted herself to securing, not only the rarest specimens of antique and modern jewelry extant, but also rare silks and textiles from the four corners of the earth, autographs from famous authors and notable men and women in fact, everything that caught her fancy. The administrators found trunks filled with silk gowns of almost every period of fashion; silk parasols, richly embroidered, one in white silk with a peacock with spread tail circling the cover; fans by the hundred of carved ivory, lace and jeweled gauze, exquisite lace handkerchiefs, Chinese and Japa nese porcelains, and all sorts of quaint and beautiful things. There were thirty-nine tea chests filled with the jew elry, while a large safe held the dia monds. When the cases were removed from the jewels in order to pack them they filled a bathtub. Many curious stories iare told of this woman, who died the past summer, hut her name has not been divulged by those in the secret. She had a taste for barbaric splendor and delighted in curious devices and mecnanlcal toys made of all sorts of stones. One of her fancies was for a set of tiger's claws which her agent procured for her in India, and had mounted in 20karat gold of exquisite workmanship. This set of necklace, earrings, and brooch la included in the present exhibition. A little English trunk was filled with crosses, one of the most beautiful being a pectoral cross set with diamonds and topazes Made Happy for Ufe. Great happiness came into the home of S. C. Blair, school superintendent, at St. Albans, V. Va., when his little daughter was restored from the dread ful complaint he names. He sayi: "My little daughter had St. Vitus Dance, which yielded to no treatment but grew steadily worse until as a last resort we tried Electric Bitters; and I rejoice to say, three bottles effected a complete cure." Quick, sure cure for nervous complaints, general debility, female weakness and malaria. Guar anteed by R. R. Bellamy's drug store. Price 50c.

Cut Down to a More Modest FlToro Because of Extravagance, King Edward's gifts as peacemaker, statesman, sportsman, and man of the world, are well known and admired, but In the minds of the members of the royal household these talents are of little importance In comparison with his genius as an expert accountant. Despite the tremendous amount of work he is obliged to undertake in so cial and state affairs, he still manages to And time to keep such a sharp eyo on household expenses that no item of expenditure escapes his scrutiny wry Ion. His majesty was not long on the throne before the easy going royal servitors had the astonishing knowl edge forced upon tbem that a kins could also bo a business man. King Edward went through the accounts of Buckingham Palace and Windsor with a fine tooth comb.
