SARSAPARILLA.
PILLS.
ClffitKY PECTORAL.
A tickling cough, from any cause,
is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's
Cough Cu;e. And It Is also thor-
oughly harmless ami safe, that Dr.
Shoop tells mothers everywhere to
give It without hesitation even to
very young babies. The wholesome
green leaves and tender stems of a
lung-healing mountainous shrub,
furnish the curative properties to
Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms
the cough, and heals the sore and
sensitive bronchial membranes. No
opium, no chloroform, nothing
harsh used to Injure or suppress.
Simply a resinous plant extract that
helps to heal aching lungs. The
Spaniards call this shrub which the
Doctor uses, "The Sacred Herb."
Demand Dr. Shoop's. Take no other.

STORE AT ALLEN
BURGLARIZED
The sheriff's department received
a phone message from Deputy Sher-
iff Price Bush at Allen Friday morn-
ing. stating that the general mer-
chandise store of Monroe Angel nt
that place bait been burglarized last
night, entrance having been effected
at the rear of the building, and a
considerable amount of goods tak-
en. Deputy Sheriffs Albert McCau-
ley and 1. A. IS 11 banks left at once
for the scene with the bloodhounds
from the Jail here. The dogs took
up the trail and followed it for some
distance but finally lost it. The
goods taken consisted of knives, ra-
zors, rings, wearing upparel, etc.,
including fifteen pairs of overalls
which latter would seem to indicate
tiiat the burglars were of a very in-
dustrious turn of mind.
The officers returned from the
scene that afternoon, but have by no
means given up hope of capturing
the guilty parties.

IMPROVEMENTS HEING MADE.
When a medicine has stood the test for a period of more than two gen-
erations and is then more popular than ever, there can be no doubt of its
merit. This is the record of S. S. S. Its period of existence is marked by a
long line of cures of blood and skin diseases of every character, and its value
in the treatment of such troubles has become so well known that it is today
tlie most extensively used blood medicine on the market. For Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula. Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases and all other troubles
due to an impure or poisoned condition of the blood, S. S. S. has no equal.
It counteracts and drives out the poisons, humors and germs, cleanses the
system of all unhealthy matter, cures the disease permanently and restores
strong, robust health. Where the blood is weak or anaemic, ami unable to
furnish the body with the nourishment and strength it needs, S. S. S. sup-
plies it with the healthful properties and acts splendidly in toning up and
reinvigoratinj? the system. It Roes down to the very liottora of all blood
disorders, and in this way reaches inherited taints on which the ordinary
blood medicines have no effect. Not only is S. S. S. certain in its results,
but it is at tlie same time an absolutely safe remedy. It is made entirely of
roots, herbs and barks of known healing and curative value. It does not
contain the slightest trace of mineral in any form to damage the delicate
parts of tlie system, and may be used by children with the same good results
and perfect safety as by older people. It is not an experiment to use S. S. S.;
it is a remedy with a record and one that has oroven its worth by its forty
years of successful service. If you are in need of a blood purifier for any
cause begin the use of S. S. S., write our physicians and they will send you
a book concerning your trouble, and will give without charge any special
medical advice that is required.

Hog Cholera.
The greatest drawback to the hog
industry which breeders In this
country have to contend with is
known as "hog cholera" and "swine
plague."
Hog cholera is a highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable
to carry off a great number of hogs
iu a very short time.
Mr. A P. Williams of Burnetts
Creek, Ind . tells of an experience
which he had with some hogs that,
had the cholera.
"Five years ago,"' says Mr. Wil-
liams, "I was in the employ of Mr. J.
I). Williams of Lafayette, Ind.. as his
barn foreman. Some fine hogs that
1 was feeding took the cholera. I
gave tlieni Sloan's Liniment and did
not lose a hog. Some were so bad
thev would not drink sweet milk
and I was compelled to drench them.
I have tried it at every opportunity
since and always find it O. K."
