'LONDON ELECTS NEW LORD MAYOR London, Sept. 28. —"All ye that are not liverymen depart this hall on pain of imprisonment." With this cry of the middle ages the i solemn mace bearer opened the quaint proceedings of the Guildhall today which resulted in the election of Sir John Charles Bell as the next Lord Mayor of London. This empty ceremony of electing the chief magistrate of the greatest city of the world is held on St. Michael mas Day each year and is one of the most quaint and striking survivals of the middle ages. Unlike all other great municipalities, London's 'Lord Mayor is not the choice of the com imon council or a political clique. He must needs have been elected alder man of his ward by the ratepayers many years before being eligible for the mayorality. Ho must have served as sheriff by the election of 8,000 liv erymen, representing the wealthiest and most influential citizens. As sher iff he must have had the approval oI the king, and to become Lord Mayor he must appear again before the liv erymen and the king, and on Lord Mayor's Day he must visit the law courts and before the judges the re corder of the city recites his past his tory. On the day of the election the mem bers of the ancient city companies of "liveries" assemble in the Guildhall. All but the liverymen are excluded from the building, even the retiring Lord Mayor and his colleagues must withdraw at the word of the town crier on pain of imprisonment. The stately procession walks from the ad joining church of Old Jewry, where ser vice has preceeded the election, and from the Guildhall hustings the com mon sergeant reads the names of the candidates for the mayoralty, and the name of the one upon whom the as sembled liverymen have already agreed is greeted with cheers, where upon the aldermen are called to make their final decision, and in a few min utes the Lord Mayor-elect is called to give his consent to take the of fice. The guilds, or livery companies to whom is confided the voting power and the election of Lord Mayor, date back to Saxon days. The law which exacted sureties from every freeman above 14 led to the es tablishment of these associations, some ecclesiastical, some secular. The oldest is the Knights' Guilds, possess ed of privileges granted by King Edgar for services in war. The steel yard and ship yard merchants of London then formed a guild. Later came the Saddlers. Then came the Goldsmiths, whose charter came from Edward I. Woman Deserts Husband And Children and Elopes Greenville, S. C., Sept. 28. —A war rant was issued yesterday for George L.

BAD BLOOD THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state ol purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived oi its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various wa 3 ra - Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to suner in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely and permanently cures blood diseases of |§Qi| every kind.
