RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE JRUBBED AWAY
It la fleetly natural to rub the cpot that hurts, and when the muscles,
nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching! with the pains of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief, from the disease, by producing
tounter-irritatioa 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 is located. Rheumatism is more
than ekin deep it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be
reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY.
Rheumatism Is due to an excess of uric acid ia the blood, brought about by
the accumulation ia the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues
cf bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, coming ia contact with the different acid3 of the body, forma
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 or
dampness, or after aa attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with 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
b often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes
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

Although many authorities have de
clared that the word "hurrah" Is a de

the consensus of opinion now Is that It
Is a corruption of the ancient battle
cry of the wild Norsemen, "Tur ale!"

"Papa, what makes your nose so
dreadful red?'
- " The east wind of course,' the fath

unworthy member.
In view of the number of times I was snubbed and punished for this, It
would seem that I might have broken myself of tho habit; but no, It stuck
with me, and so, late In llft, when I became a member of the community, a
householder, a person of affnirs, I was still regarded as a dangerous individual
for strangers to meet, because, though I might conduct myself properly and
talk Intelligently, I was quite as likely to say something unlike what any one
else ever said, and thus cause the Impression that there was something queer
about our town. - ,
Well do I remember numerous vigorous endeavors on the part of safe
and sane people to understand that i wasn't to be taken account of when It
came to summing up the cultured people of the place, and that they were
never on any account to take notice of anything I said. This left me free to
say things, because if nobody was going to notice them one might Just as
well experience the relief of getting rid of a lot of bottled up sentiment that
seemed anxious to get out So I Just said them.
I said that I didn't think much of woman's rights; that I thought the
new woman was a fake. I said I thought society a Joke and the affectations
of fashionable women disgusting. I said I believed culture to be stupid when
consciously applied. ,.
I said women had run to seed In niceness. I said kindergarten work
taught children to be affected and Insincere. I said I was opposed to young
people's religious meetings unless conducted by older people. I said I was
opposed to lesson leaves ; that I did not like audible prayer, except as read
In a formal service. I said I was opposed to revival meetings.
This does not start the things that I said, but as nobody paid any atten
tion to them, It did not really make any difference. But long years of saying
things with Impunity and not being actually run out of town, or muzzled by
order of the city fathers, has emboldened me, and I may really do some dam
age before It Is over.
However, In late years people have taken to looking with favor upon my
open expressions of opinion, and I really believe It pays In the long run to
hold to your own Ideas In spite of the efforts of society In general to "farm"
you. Young people are likely to mistake bluntness for frankness, and sarcasm
for brightness. These mistakes It Is well to avoid, but If you have an idea
a real belief, an Instinctive objection to some popular theory, stick to It, for
the world Is always coming to grief by stupidity following "popular thought"

HOW TO GROW HAIR.

Plan to Rethatch Bald Patea.
Breathe properly, and you'll never be
bald. If you're already partially bald,
breathe properly and your hair will
start "coming-in" again. This Is the
boiled down advice of Dr. Delos L. Par

by a series of experiments. He Impris

and kept It In a warm room. A week
or ten days later he Injected a quantity
of the liquid left in the bottom of the
Jar Into a pigeon and awaited develop
ments. Presently the pigeon's feathers
began to fall out. He continued the In
jections regularly, and within a few
days the bird's coat bad entirely- dis
appeared. When the Injections were
discontinued the pigeon regained Its
coat . The experiments were repeated
with dogs and hens, and the results
were the same.
Dr. Parker reached the conclusion
that expired air, remaining In a man's
lungs long enough for the decomposi
tion of the organic matter to take place,
resulted In the formation of a poison
which affected the roots of the hair
and caused It to fall out Deep breath4

hair stopped falling out and a new
growth started. In six weeks the Im
provement was very noticeable.

This began In childhood, when I soon learned
that my elders were obliged to apologize for me
to the neighbors upon the broad grounds that no
body could be held responsible for my remarks
because thtre was never any telling what I was
going to say. I never did quite learn to avoid
expressing sentiments until somebody else had
expressed them and found they were safe.
I always did, from earliest childhood, when I
sat listening to the safe and sane conversation of
Uie visiting neighbors who were discussing plati

some mutinous Idea or disturbing question that

If the wealth of the rich men of the
United States could be reduced to na
tional bank notes It would not be as
great a task for the nineteen expert
money counters of the United States
treasury to tally and set the amount
down In books as the average man
thinks it would. Working In the leis
urely fashion the government permits,
It would take the nineteen experts a
little more than fifty-two days to as
certain the exact number of Rockefel
ler's dollars. Assuming that Weyer

has $000,000,000, the count of his
wealth would be completed In Just

Carnegie each own $350,000,000, the
count of their hoard would be complet

horde of poor millionaires having about
$15,000,000 would get one day's attend
ance. Those having less than $14,500,
000 would be dismissed In six hours.
These figures are the result of a count
made of the "unused" money In one of
the vaults under control of William B.
BldgelyL comptroller of the currency.
The count was finished a few days ago,
having been under wny twelve working
days. For six years there had been no
count of the money !n the vault, and
It occurred to Mr. Wdgely that he ought
to satisfy himself that the $170,000,

was actually there. The count showed
that there were as many dollars In the
vault as the books said there should
be.
