GOOD BLOOD
nature's protection against disease
* Tko preservation of health and prevention against disease is almost
entirely dependent upon pure healthy blood ; every organ tissue nerve and
sinew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength.
Poisons humors and germs from various sources often get into the
and then this great life-stream becomes a source of infection and
instead of a nourishing health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise aii
important factor regulating the quality of the blood. Some persWis are born
with tainted blood from diseased ancestry and Scrofula in one of its numerous
aorms is sure to crop out some time in life. Not only poisons in the blboa
*** responsible for disease but when the circulation is run down and becomes
poor and weak in quality then we see the effect in a general bad condition
of health such as weakness sallow complexions bdfts and various skin
erup ons a All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier and none
_ _ ether equals S. S. S. It goes down to the
ver y foundation of the trouble and removes
every particle of the poison or impurity from

At Golden Wedding of Mr.
and Mrs. G. G. McKune Col-
orado Springs Colorado Ceie-
• brating Fifty Years of Happy
Wedded Life.
After fifty years of married life Mr.
and Mrs. G. G. McKune of 5 West
Costilla street celebrated their golden
wedding. They were married in Da-
mascus N. Y. There was one person
present at the wedding ceremony who
is still alive—Mr. J. K. Dillon of 417
East Pike’s Peak avenue a nephew of
Mrs. McKune.
The celebration took place at their
home which was beautifully decorated
in gold and white.
The happy couple were the recipi-
ents of many beautiful presents in-
cluding a shower of gold coins.
In an interview with our represen-
tative Mr. McKune states:
“It gives me great pleasure to tell
you that I have been using a little of
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for medic-
inal purposes every morning for fif-
teen years; it has been my only medi-
cine and I firmly believe it has been
very beneficial to me as a tonic stimu-
lant and renewer of youth. I am sev-
enty years of age and I feel as hale
and hearty as I did twenty years ago.
“I cannot say too much in praise of
your valuable medicinal whiskey and
recommend it to all those getting on
in years who wish to maintain their
vigor strength and happiness.”
TOO FEW SEE
BENEFIT SHOW
Numbers of Much Merit Are
Given Before a Highly Ap-
preciative Audience.
The size of the audience at the
vaudeville performance given last
night at the Beetho»en hall for the
benefit of the Free Kindergarten asso-
ciation was not commensurate either
with the merits of the performance or
with the merits of the object for
which the benefit was given. Those
who attended however thoroughly ap-
preciated the efforts of a number of
the officers from the post who did
vaudeville sketches and of several
well known local persons of much
talent who took part in the program
which opened with three selections bv
the Ninth Infantry band "Wizard of
the Nile." by Herbert; "The Whistler
and His Dog” by Pryor and “Villag-i
Life in Ye Olden Time” by De Thelre.
Miss Faye L. Nickerson delighted her
audience with “A Japanese Sketch.”
Miss Nickerson made an ideal Japan-
ese maid and gave a very charming
interpretation ot the part. Captain
Nicklin as Signor Caruso Bond Nico
lini brought down the house with his
take off. Miss Anna Seebe gave an
artistic rendering of the ‘‘Cantabaiie”
of Caesar Cui. She received an en-
core to which she graciously respond-
ed. Two selections by the San An-
tonio Mandolin and Guitar orchestra
under the direction of Ixmls Schuetze
were much appreciated by the lover-
if good music.
During the intermission the Ninth
Infantry I xml played Remick’s No. 3
selection.
A sketch entitled "Fun at the Hotel
Halfback.” in which B. F. Nicklin C
G. Sturtevant. E. M. Wilson H. I. Law-
rence. R. H. Hern C. A. Lewis C. L
Hay and W. F. Pearson participated
was replete with funny situations and
brought out the histrionic ability of the
participants. The officers who par-
ticipated in this sketch merited and
received much appreciation for their
achievement. Miss Ethel Schuchardt's
reading which was a sketch of matri-
monial differences contained many
local hits which caused ripples of
laughter. Pearson Garret as the song
and dance artist did excellent work
and was recalled time and time again
as were also the McGowan Troupe
ot expert gymnasts.
TENT CROWDED.
Rev. Knickerbocker Will Continue
Services Until Sunday Night.
The tent at Prospect hill with Dr
Knickerbocker in charge which wili
continue until Sunday night was
crowded last night. Some pronounced
it the greatest service of tne series.
He graphically told how men busied
themselves about many things and
failed to do the most important. At
4 o'clock this afternoon the subject
will be "Playing the Fool” and tonight
at 8 "The Crimson Shroud.”

Charles Wernette who was re-
elected president of the Liquor and
Malt Dealers' association of Texas;
August Limburger and other delegates
from thia city have reUimed from

convention and their entertainment at

The convention adopted resolutions
which indicate that the liquor and
malt dealers will organize to make a
fight against prohibition and for ths
rei>eal of the Baskin-McGregor law.
The resolutions also pledge the liquor
interests to support all labor candi-
dates for office. In part the resolu-
tions follow;
"Whereas By an actual trial of the
advantages and disadvantages of the
Baskin-McGregor law as enacted by
the Thirtieth legislature it has been
proven to us that said law is an un-
righteous infringement upon the
rights and privileges of those engaged
in the liquor business in the state of
Texas- therefore be It
"Resolved by this organization in
convention assembled That we pledge
ourselves personally and as members
ot this organization to use our best
influence with a view of getting said
bill repealed in its entirety and a
substitute bill enacted by the legis-
lature of the state which will accord
to society the same protection and to
the liquor dealer greater and more
equitable rights and privileges in the
conduct of his business."
"Whereas The question of state pro-
hibition . has become the foremost
question now being agitated by the
political creeds and factions of the
state of Texas and as same is one ot
vital importance to our membership:
therefore be it
"Resolved by this association 1n
convention assembled. That we an-
nounce our recognition of the fact
that the determination of such issue
must be finally arrived at by an elec-
tion and that we announce to the
people of Texas that we are a united
and determined body and organization
opposed to state prohibition and to
those who favor its principles; and
that we call upon all those in the
state who are in any way identified
with us in business or whose princi-
ples and beliefs are with us in every
way that they can consistently do
to present a solid and victorious bat-
tle array in this contest”
