It Is probable that in a very brief
period there will be considerable
chang-es made in the material used for
clothing the army on home as well
as on foreign service, says the London
Telegraph. The committee dealing
with the subject, which has been in
session for about a couple of years,
has at length been able to come to a
final Jecision. Probably the events in
South Africa have helped the mem
bers to make up their minds. At all
events they have chosen an excellent
woolen sergo-like material in which
for the future practically the whole
work of the troops will be performed.
It is not khaki-colored, though that
well-known and serviceable hue is
somewhat closely approached. Trou
sers Vvill not be made from exactly
the same material as the jacket, but
of one somewhat rougher and thicker
in texture. The new material is of
a yellowish-fawn color and is of ex
cellent quality. It was selected from
a great number of samples submitted
to the committee and has been ap
proved by the war office. Two other
materials of the same tint, but of
rather stronger texture, have been se
lected for the mounted branches, and
a stout Bedford cord of the same color
will be used for riding breeches. No
regulation dealing with the new cloth
ing has yet been issued, but one may
be expected shortly, and from thence
forward uniforms made of the new
cloth will supersede the serg-es and
dark cloth trousers now worn for
drill and field work, both at home and
abroad. The same pattern of jacket
will be used for all branches of the
service, but each unit will wear a dis
tinguishing badge on the cap and
shoulder strap.
It is not, however, intended that the
new clothing shall entirely supersede
the old style of dress. The tunic is to
be worn for full dress, so that on
full-dres parades the familiar blue
and scarlet and black will 6till greet
the eye. Of course, it will be a con
siderable time yet before the uniform
will be ready, but it is probable that
the spring i.sue of clothing to the
troops will include the new suit. It
will be more handsome than khaki,
while it will be far more comfort
able and serviceable, and so far as
experiments go to show it will pos
sess equal invisibility. It is to be
hoped that a suitable headdress may
soon be devised for the army. The
helmets worn by the regular troops
in South Africa are excellent and
greatly superior to the much-vaunted
"smasher" felt hat. but they are hard
ly suitable for home wear. A peaked
cap of the new cloth, picked out with
scarlet lines and made somewhat ap
proaching the Russian pattern, would
look very smart and be suitable for
general wear. At all events the ri
diculous forage and field service caps
should be relegated to the museums,
along with the blue and scarlet serges
now about to be superseded by the
.new uniform.

YOUNG KRUGER IS A HERO.

Saved a. Starving
Sheep.
An English clergyman has had the
extreme hardihood of relating an an
ecdote in a Ehiblin paper that reflects
great credit upon a near relative, a
grandnephew, of England's arch en
emy. Paul Kruger. He was staying-at
G'ondalough with two friends and
while boating on the upper lake, under
Camaderry mountain, noticed a sheep
pitifully bleating on a ledge about 1.0C0
feet up the sheer cliff. The animal had
been there for days and was in a state
of semi-starvation. The peasants about
had resolved to'shoot it and thus end
its misery. Young' Kruger however,
essayed its rescue. He tied a piece of
tarred twine round the sole of his
boots and climbed up the face of the
precipice, much to the anxiety of his
friends. The operation took him quite
two hours, during which the slightest
unsteadiness or wavering would have
cost him his life. Halfway up he
shouted down that he could not move
further. With a final effort, however,
he gradually worked his wav up'
reached the animal and lowered it cau
tiously until he reg-ained the boat. His
intrepid act excited intense admira
tion among the spectators. His task
seemed utterly impossible and in any
event was attended with terrible dan
ger. Young Kruger was at the time
a medical student at Edinburgh uni
versity and on the declaration of war
sailed for South Africa.
Unintentional T
A London exquisite went into a
"West End restaurant and was far
from pleased with the manner in
which his order was filled. "Do you
call that veal cutlet?" he demanded
of the waiter. "Why, such a cutlet as
that is an insult to every self-respecting
calf in the British empire.' The
waiter hung his head for a moment,
but recovered himself and said, in a
tone of respectful apology: "I really
didn't intend to insult yon, sir.'

Millions of little glands or tubes connect the blood with the skin, and through
these small drain pipes perspiration passes out, carrying with it the impurities that
are thrown off by the blood. Should the pores of the skin be entirely closed for
even a brief space of time, and the poisonous matter forced back into the circula
tion, instant death would result. In addition to the sweat glands, the skin is
provided with certain others which pour out upon it an oily substance, keeping
the skin pliable and soft and protecting it from neat and cold. The blood and skin
are so closely related that whatever affects one seriously interferes with the func
tions of the other. Not only health, but life itself, depends upon perfect harmony
between the blood and skin. WTien, therefore, the
blood becomes poisoned from any cause, it quickly ?CJ70 dHu
manifests itself upon the skin in the form
of sores and ulcers, pimples and various Em2Z.M Q I ti Q I POiGOtiG
eruptive diseases. By the character of the
sore we are enabled to determine the nature of the poison or humor in the blood,
as every disease originating in the blood has its own peculiar sore or pimple. The
skin is not only affected by the poisons generated in the system, but poisons from
without enter through the open glands or pores and quickly infect the blood.
Mercury rubbed upon the skin will produce Rheumatism, and Poison Oak and Ivy
and other wild plants gain easy access to the blood through the skin. As so-called
skin diseases originate in tne blood, the application

Soft. HOOlthV SIfin closing up the. outlet to these little tubes
and interfering with the natural action
of the skin. The treatment must begin with the blood, and the acid or other pois
ons antidoted or neutralized. S. S. S. does this and purifies the circulation, builds
up the blood and flushes the little glands or pores with pure, new blood, and
restores healthy action to the skin. The use of cosmetics never yet brought health
and beauty to a rough, red, pimply skin or sallow complexion. What is needed
is rich, pure blood, such as S. S. S. makes. It not only relieves you of all disfigur
ing blackheads, blotches and irritating, itching eruptions, but improves your general
health. S. S. S. contains no mercuiy, potash, arsenic or other mineral; but is a
purely vegetable remedy and the safest and best in all blood and skin troubles.

and skin diseases, and you can have the best medical advice without cost. ' Book or
