"The New Ship of the Desert"

Far away, in a remote and liule heard of corner of China; just below the Siberian border, glisten "the sun-bleached sands of the Gobi Desert.

Desolate, void of vegetation, and almost võid of human beings, excepting for Mongol nomads, warlike and romantic in the extreme, it has for many centuries thrown an almost impassable barmer across the way between the important cities of Peking and Irkutsk.

Travelers, if daring enough, might cross the six hundred miles between the two points by camel caravan. But the sales told of the desert, with its.. trait marked by little heaps of bones, cleaneil of Mesh by fighting dogs, and howling wolves, and whitened by a gleaming sun, were too foreboding to the average person, and a more circuitous route was usually taken.

¡

Impossible as it seemed to shorten the trip between Peking and Irkutsk-unlikely as it was that any mode of communication might be estab, lished between these two places excepting that

The automobile furnished the only other prac- tical means, of navigating the arid waste, and so experiments were made to determine the value of this solution of the problem. One" make of car after another was tried, and the stranded automo hiles which loom up like gravestones to an un- successful endeavor prove the need of a car of "extreme sturdiness and power.

In order to overcome the difficulties which were presented by this route, it was nicessary to secure á car which would bear the brunt of traveling through deep sanès, scorching hot over rocky passes, treacherously, jagged and through hub deep mud and flowing rivers.

It appeared impossibile, but just as the attempt seemed on the verge of failure, the right car was Tried, ahh so, at last, discovered.

SKIN DISEASES

Overcome by the Wonderful Blood Purifying Properties of Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS.

A person suffering from eruptions of the skin has much to endure, “It S not merely the discomfiture and irritation and painful sensation, but life is

made miserable by depression of spirits. The liver is torpid and the kidneys are partially inoperative, and you feel languid and weak. The disease is in the blood, and when the system is not cleansed through the usual channels, Nature asserts herself, and forces portions of the impurities through the skin in the form of Pimples, Boils and Blotches. External remedies-powders, ointments, lotions-only alleviate; they do not get at the cause. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pilia get at the cause by removing the disease from the Blood. They cleanse the system by stimulating the Liver and strengthening the Kidneys, which filter the Blood and throw off the impure matter through the regular channels.
