DLOOD P01S GRA The disease that has done more than any other to wreck, ruin and humiliate life, is Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and suffering go hand in hand with this great enemy, and man has always hated and fought it as he has no other disease. It is the most powerful of all poisons; no mat ter how pure the blood may be, when its virus enters, the entire circulation becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. LUsu ally the frst sign is a small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance, but the blood is being saturated with the deadly poison, and soon the mouta and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop out, a red eruption breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make their appearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks the nerves. Not only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from parent to child, in the form of scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weakL puny constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has been ruined by a friendly hand shake, or from using the toilet articles of one infected with the poison. To cure this blighting. deadly curse the blood must be purified, and nothing will do it so quickly and surely as S. S. S. It goes down to the SSbood must poiuroed and ntebothin lea ado stog very bottom of the trouble, drives out every particle s i guIe of the poison and makes the blood clean and strong.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Convielon Folows TrIal When buying loose coffee or anytbing your grocer happens to have in his bin, how do you know What you are getting ? Some queer stories about coffee that is sold in bulk, could be told, if the people who handle it (grocers), cared to speak out. Could any amount of mere talk have persuaded milions of housekeepers to use Lion Coffee, the leader of all package coffees for over a quarter of a century, if they had not foundit superior to all other brands in Purity, Strength, Flavor and Uniformity? This popular suceess of LION CoFFEE eb be due only to inherent merit. There is no stronger proof of merit than cons tinued and increasing popularity. l the verdict of ILLIONS OF HOUSKEPERS does not convince you of the merits of LION COFFEE, ft costs you but a trifle to buy a package. It is the easiest way to convInce yourself, and to make you a PERMANENT PURCHASER.

The world of Europe and America. the great Western wor011ld that 1)rtenids it taught Jan-I if so. it builded far bet ter than it inew-is now specu I 1ting as to what Japan will do with her unprec-edented triumphs On s and jand. The Nippon of today is mani LeStly not the Nippon of last .rear. Russia then thought she could bully her into acquies conce in the theft of Manchuria, and Europe aud America, shame fully ignorant of the mighty strength and genius of their "pupil." could not understand iow little Japan dared confront the monster that had so long bIlusttered over and browbeat England and her other neighbors. As Japan stood at the beginning of 19o4. in the estimation of the West, she was not a "danger." hardly to be considered in any designs' for instance, that in volved the partitioning of China. But the Japan of 1905, "the scourge of God" that flays the Russians, has become a great power, with vaster potentialities and doubtless with far different purposes. What are they? Perhaps Japan, with her un matched genius for secrecy, will not disclose her purposes. She may deem it more prudent to al low them to unfold in action and events. Such has always been the Japanese way in peace and war. Prince Khilkoff, who has just returned from Manchuria, said that the Russian army has never known where the Japa nese main strength was, or where. when or how it would strike. Can we expect, then, that a policy so successfully pur i sued in war and peace will now be abandoned; and the silence of oriential diplomacy be broken? Certain of the purposes of Japan seem. however, appar ent. She must tirst end the war by a crushing blow against the army under Linevitch, 'or drive it beyond the boundaries of Man churia or Lake Baikal. She will, very likely, also, seize ac tual Russian territory-Sakhalin and Vladivostok, and part of the Amur valley, Russia is now try ing to find consolation in the pre tense that Manchuria is Chinese territory, and that she, Russia, has lost not an inch of soil. No one believes that the Russians would ever have abandoned Man churia of their own volition. They have been driven from ter ritory that Russia intended to hold; but, of course, Japan does not contend it was Russian soil, and it cannot figure in the con ditions of peace in any way ex cept in a return of it to China. That Japan may now send a fleet to European waters is a probability suggested by The State some time ago. A few swift cruisers in the Mediter raean, Atlantic, North arid Bal tic seas would be a terrible blow to Russian commerce, as well as having a salutary effect upon Europe. Russia's merchant marine is considerable enough to offer a keen temptation. There are some 818 steamers aggregat ing 385,000 tons; and 2,200 sail ing craft, with a total of 283,000 tons. The Japanese could cap ture many fine prizes, besides blockading, annoying and humil iating her enemy. An effective Japanese blockade in the Baltic would induce neutral nations to intervene and end the war. Japan will, of course, exact an indemnity or a large cession of territory, and adequate guaran tees of peace. She will also make her army even stronger than it has already proved itself in the field; and she will have a navy more than treble its strength at the beginning of this war. There will also be a continen tal Nippon as well as an insular one; for Japan will cross the Strait of Korea and establish herself in the Liao-Tung and in Korea and probably in the valley of the Amur. But the chief question as to Japan's new programme has to 'do with her future attitude to wad China and toward the Oc cident. -Will she be truculent, agrssve? Will she move China to expel Germany from Kiao chau, and France from Tong king? Will she train and arm China for a war on Europe? In other words, is the future Nip pon to be an empire of the sword or "big stick?" If she follows her former Eu ropean and American teachers, she will cultivate the spirit of "imperialism," and prate of a "greater" Japan, a 1-a England, or undertake the "peaceful pene tration" of Asia a la France or as sail friendly nations with "mailed fists" a la Germany or with "big stick" a la Roosevelt, or "bene volently assimilate'- them a la America. We could not sin cerely, or without stultification, object to such a policy. But Japan has, we may justly infer, far other ideals than those of military conquest. She will be qiuite content to settle down to the large task of working out her manifold ideals in industrial, commercial, political and intel lectual life. No other people is more suflicient to itself. The Jap anese have before them at home, Iand in the lands to be added to the empire by this wai-, work to employ them for years. Dr. Wil liami Elliott Griffis, author of "The Mikado's Empire," and an authority on Japan, has just witnaletter to the New York Sun in which he says that Togo's ictory means the power of com mon school education to unify a nttion, enabling the common man in Jatpan to inherit and en are the Samurai's ideals," and "In her yet greater task of standards of commercial, sexual and personal morality, in exalt ing spiritual ideals by allowing full academic freedom of re search and publication-in a word. in those victories of peace and less renowned than those of war-may Japan raise up many a Togo and Oyama and gain even more just fiac than in \var. We should remember that Ja pan is tighting a war not of her sceking, but provoked by Russia: that the great triumph of her arms on sea and land which ap pal Europe, were not fought for in a spirit of aggression. but were made necessary by the ag gression of a European power. Japan's programme is a policy of tranquility at home and abroad. Her purpose is to pro mote the welfare and happiness of her own people. It is a re proach to the West that it sus pects the motives of a country that has done so much in the in terests of humanity, and that is actually fighting alone a war that is as much the cause of Eng land and America and China as it is her cause. It is a reproach to our courage that we, a group of Western peoples, civilized and marshaled in great military camps of millions of men, and with fleets covering the seas, are afraid of the Japanese. Sure ly in this matter Kas'er Wilhelm the modern Peter the Hermit, preacher of a senseless crusade against the East, does not speak for the civilization, intelligence and courage of the West.-The State.

'Tis not showy or grand, but simple and plain, our bow of white ribbon, yet it means so much to me. It doesn't signify that the wearer only refrains from drink, as some people sup pose, but it means purity and love of God. We are all so weak and faulty no matter how hard we try to do right, and we are apt to be self ish nearly always. I have felt many times that my task was too hard, and I must give it up and leave it unfinished. I have thought the call of duty to be too stern and unrelenting, and I would rebel against it. It has seemed that the battle which 1 must needs fight was too fierce for one so weak to enter. I have come very near being a coward. It was then that the white rib bon helped me to look at it re minded me of my promise to keep my hears xure and love my Creator. Then.I would think, those who love -Him must serve Him, and the task became light er, duty less stern, and the bat tle easier to fight. In fact the white ribbon has helped me to do my honest duty. Some people feel very un friendly toward our union and make unkind. hurting remarks, which is very discouraging in deed. Some have even gone so far as to ridicule it, and say it does more harm than good. Then I am tempted to think and say hard things, but my white ribbon tells me that I must not. I don't like to argue religious matters, and I don't think it's right. When people can't agree about such things or discuss them friendly, they should avoid the subject. But I have some times been almost forced into arguments about temperance, and have been defeated as many or more times than I've won. Have been called prejudiced, bias and fanatical on -the sub jct. During those dark, tempt ing times the little white ribbon has been to me a source of strengthened encouragement. The sweetest comfort that come- to me from the white rib "on, I'm afraid, is a selfish one. After a day of toil and conflict, labor and strife, I sink wearily down to rest, it says so sooth ing and consolingly, "She hath done what she could." Again, if the day has been victorious and I have won successes for the cause that I love, it speaks cheerfully the Glent message, "She hath done what she could." Since the white ribbon helps me in so many ways, and is pro ductive of good, I hope I may never cease to wear it. or diso bey its teachings; but, instead I humbly desire to be enbued with power from Him for whose sake I wear it, to induce others to join our band and wear with us the simple but blessed white ribbon. B. C. A MARTR'S CROWN. Nearly thirty years ago, in the Island of Madagascar,many were put to death for faith in Christ. One little girl, only ten years old, was asked, " Why don't you worship in the idol temples?" She answered: "Because I love Jesus, my Saviour, who suffered on the cross in my stead1. The idols can do me no good." "But you must give up this new re igion and come back to the idol temples." "No. I will never give up Jesus." "Then we will cas yon hadlong from the top of that hi.it rock. and voui will be killed." "I saw you throw mv father and mother down. so take mne nlow. and throw mrue Ovel the precipice, and I shall go to .Jesus." "How foolish of you to suifer that dreadful death when you might save your life and have beautiful presents. if you will only worship these idols again." All these entreaties could not move her. She cried, "Throw me over the rocks, and then I shall be with Jesus." And the cruel man seized the child and cast her down upon the rocks; but her spirit quickly took its Ilight to Good, and "when Jesus comes to reward the faithful," she will receive "a crown of life" "that fadeth not away."

Mercury methide, for instance. the inhalation of whose fumes pro duces incurable idiocy, can be manu factured by two Italians and by no one else in the world. "Dhatoora is a poison used In India. It too, produces incurable idiocy. A British army oficer told me of a sad case-a case of two rival tailors, one of whom gave the other a small dose of dhatoora. The victim of the drug remained an idiot all the rest of his life. He sat and moved his empty hands as though he were sewing. He was a formidable rival no longer. "Mercaptan produces a melancholy so great as to terminate nearly always in suicide. No government would per mit the manufacture and sale of this poison. "Dhatoora, mercury methide, mer captan nd some Vventy other poisons are neither made nor soid in any pub lic way. They are only experimented with. Such poisons would be formid able weapons in unsernpulous hands. Driving their victims to suicide or to insanity, they leave behind them noth ing suspicious or untoward. The giver of these poisons Is secure from any fear of punishment. "Hence it is no wonder, is it. that the learned men .who know such poi sons keep their knowledge to them selves.-Chicago Chronicle.

It Is Simply a Religious Picture Blesmed by a Priest. An Icon is simply a religious picture, generally of little artistic merIt, and the subject usually represented is ei ther a Russian saint, some event in the life of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary. In the Greek chuirch, as in other Chris tian churches, the worship of graven images Is forbidden, but no objection is made to anything reproduced on a fiat surface. Therefore Icons are per mitted In the form of mosaics, paint ings, enamels or prints. They play ar. Important part In the religious life of the Russians and are to be met with everywhere-in churches, public offices, private houses and shops. A picture to become an icon must be blessed by a priest, and it is then regarded not en-. ly as an ornament, but as an accessory in the worship of the Greek church. Icons are also worn on the person. when they take the form of a plaque or a book with two leaves. Almost ev ery soldier wears one on his bosom, and when he prays he takes out his icon and, opening it, kneels down be fore it as if it wvere a portable altar. Every regiment has its own icon, which it carries as it would carry its banner when the regiment goes into battle. Money to Loan. masy-rerms. APPLY TO Wilson& & DuRant. Easily Made Money !
