RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE .RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching" with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer 13 apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some pthei external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the paia tempo rarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause 13 located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only b reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT EE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to aa excess of uric acid ia the blood, brousht about by the accumulation ia the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, comin g ia contact with the different acid3 of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold ot dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated wita irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling oa the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a. weak, sour stream, constantly deposit i PURELY VEGETABLE matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks.

Wrong Man. While Dooly was holding court in Washington County, Georgia, a certain General Hanson came In and sat down at the side of the judge, and began to tell him about the vast amounts of property he owned. "Stop Just a moment, general," said Dooly. "Mr. Sheriff, call in Jones, the receiver of tax returns." In a few moments that worthy ap peared. "Mr. Receiver," said the judge, "come up here and make an inventory of Gen eral Hanson's property. He had mis taken me for you." Sunday Maga zine. . Nothing Doing.

"I hail been ou a spree for a week when I sobered up sutlielently to enlist in the United States army," said the high priva-e as he sat at the cauipflre. -I was rushed off to the Philippines be fore I was used to the feel of my uni form, and next day after landing we were rushed up the country to Wear out a lot of Ladronea I had never snielled powder, and as far as I could size myself up I wasn't going tb do anything very brilliant in my first light I can't tell you Just how It happened, but when we had skirmished with the enemy for a while I found myself and a veteran cut off from the main body and surrounded. We got Into a hollow and It looked to me as if the case against us was closed. " There are only fourteen of them,' said the veteran after counting, 'and now here's your chance.' " 'Chance to die?' I queried. "'Die nothiugi You go at it and run those fellows off. 1 want a quiet smoke.' "He filled and lighted his pipe and lay down on the broad of his back and left me to do all the lighting. , 1 had his weapons in addition to mine, and though my teeth were clicking together I banged away and did the best I could. Not a word of advice or encouragement did I get from my comrade. When I had fusilladed for a quarter of an hour the Ladrones withdrew and the veteran got up and led the way over to where they had been thickest There we found two dead and one wounded and evidences that two more wounded had crawled away., " 'Humph !' sneered the vet '"What's the matter?'

Strenuous Route by Which W. A. Smith Reached the Senate. Another notable demonstration that it Is the "stuff" which Is in a man and not the cultivation by school or college, however valuable these may be, , Is found In the case of William Alden Smith, chosen Sena tor from Michigan. Smith Is 47 years old and is one of the most popular men In the House of Representatives, where he has served a number of terms, a little Michigan btiNATUU SMITH. He was born In town and his father was a tailor-musician. The dollars were rare and the best William Alden could do was to get a common school education. He sold popcorn and newspapers to help daddy pay for the clothes he wore. When he was 14 he ran away from home and beat his way on a freight train to Lansing, where he obtained a position as a page In the House of Rep resentatives. Here he became Imbued with the ambition to become a lawyer, his enthusiasm and ambition arising from the speeches which he heard the legislators make and the pleasant liv ing they seemed to have. After he had saved enough money he located In Grand Rapids and found a position as a messenger with a leading law firm. They did not want him at first, but when they discovered the kind of fel low he was they changed their minds. Smith was eventually admitted to the bar and became a railroad attorney In a few years. He saved some money, invested wisely, and to-day is well-to-do, being largely Interested In banks and railroads, and owning a newspaper besides. He has been six times elected to Congress. One of the most beautiful manifesta tions of Smith's character Is the fact that when money came to him he lo cated his parents In a home of their own amid beautiful surroundings In California, and from nowhere did the congratulations to Senator Smith come more heartily than from there. Mexican Bualneaa Hour. ' Some of the newspapers of the Mexi can capital have taken up an agitation for a reform in the business hours. Heretofore it has been the custom to close all shops and offices absolutely between the hours of 1 and 2 :30 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Some of the foreign stores have attempted to get away from this system, but the small amount of trade gained by thus doing away with the ancient "siesta" hour (now largely a tradition In the capital) was not enough to pay for the trouble. The noon rest hour Is a reasonable one In the tropics, where it Is always a period of dullness and unusual heat, but there Is also the other side, in that the long hour suggests a heavy noon meal, which in the tropics more than anywhere else is unreasonable. But the principal opposition to the noon rest hour is the consequent lengthening of the working hours Into the evening, so that stores and offices never close before 7 o'clock, and often not before 8. This throws the evening's recreation Into the night, so that no theater can begin a performance before 8 :45 at tbe very earliest and the time of recrea tion Is lengthened Into an "all night seance."

Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but a great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the un nutural condition of the lives we lead. Heiida he, backache and a general tired condition are prevalent amongst the women of today and to relieve these conditions women rush to ths druggists for a biittlj o! some preparalio i supp .Bed to be particularly for them, and contain ing nobody knows what. If they would just get a b ix of Brandreth's Pill, and take them reg ilarly every night for a time all their trouble would disappear, as these pills re luliite the organs of the feminine system.

There never lived a more steady and persistent grumbler than Reuben Hall.

"Suppose the sullar hole does show up frocn the roadr what business has this town got. to put an In junction on folks dumping stuff in it?'
