RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE, DRUBBED AWAY
It perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles
nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitch nff with the S of
Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the linimentbot e, or some other
external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing
.ounter-imtatioii on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pafnfcmpo?
ranly, 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 skin 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 in the blood, brought about by"
'mSK? SyfaemrP ustter which the natural avenues
of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This
refuse matter, cominjr m contact with the different acids of the body, forma
uric ad 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 an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheuma
bsm can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated
with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison1. The disease will shift
from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causinff

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

"Then, from the other end of the ta

Saying What You
Beliel!j Banking by Mail
JULIET V. STRAUSS.
I have never regarded my opinions as having
any special weight In the community. Indeed, I
have acquired the freedom of, speech which char
acterizes me through a knowledge that people
are not going to pay any attention to what I say.
This began In childhood, when I soon learned
that my elders were obliged to apologize for me
to tlte neighbors upon the broad grounds that no
body could be held resitohslble 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 1
sat listening to the safe and sane conversation of
.the visiting neighbors who were discussing plati
tudes in their company tone, get dreadfully tired
of tried and true sentiment and break out with
some mutinous idea or disturbing question that
fell like a bombshell in the camp of the ultra
respectable Christian family of which I was an
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 the habit; but no, It stuck
with me, and so, late in life, when I became a member of the community, a
householder, a person of affairs, 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 1 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 anxious1 to get out So I just said them.
I said that I didn't thhik much of woman's rights; that I thought the
new woman was a fake. I said 1 thought society a joke and the affectations i
of fashionable women disgusting. I said I believed culture to be stupid when
consciously applied.
. I said women bad run to seed in nlceness. 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 sold, 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 dom
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'

or ten days later he injected a quantity
of the liquid left in the bottom of the
jar Into a pigeon and awaited develop

began to fall out. lie continued the In
jectlons 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 bens, and the results
were the same.
Dr. Parker reached the conclusion
that expired air, remaining In a man's
lungs long enough for the decomposl

resulted In the formation of a poison
which affected the roots of the hair

The doctor secured a. number of par

by proper methods. In a few days the
dandruff, which Is Invariably an .ac
companiment to baldness, teased; the
hair stopped falling; out and a new
growth started. In six weeks the. Im

If the wealth of the rich men of the
United States could be reduced to nn-

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

It would take the nineteen experts a
little more than fifty-two days to as

horde of poor millionaires having about
$15,000,000 would get one day's attend

These figures are the result of a count

ine count was finished a few days ago,

It occurred to Mr. Rldgely that he ought

that there were as many dollars In the
