Six years ago I bad a severe attack of
Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid up
in bed for alz months, and the doctors I
had did me no good. They changed med
icines every week and nothing they pre
scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be
ran theuseof S.S.S. My knee and elbow
joints were swollen terribly, and at one
time my Joints were ao swollen and pain
ful that I could not close them when
opened. I was so bad that I could sot
move knee or foot. I wagettlng discour
aged, you may be sure, when I began S. S.
S., but as I saw it was helping me I contin
ued it, and to-day I am a sound well man
and have never had a return of the disease.

of this severe case of Rheumatism alter

PHONES IN PATHLESS WOOD&
Canadian Lumber Companies Connect
OMcM, Cam (a and haw lit 1 1 1.
Throughout the forests, from the BU
Johns to Vancouver, lumber camps le
hmglng to the suiue Ink-rests sre con
nected by telephone, the Hue running
tbonco to the saw mills or wood pulp
works at frontier towns, from which
communication can be held even to the
metropolis,
It wss formerly the custom of each
lumber interest to maintain a force of
couriers, like the voyagers of the Hud
son Bay Company, and these hardy
men, with knapsack, would trsve!
twenty-five miles a (fay through the
wilderness, over rough forest paths.
Now the mill calls each camp In
turn( at stated hours and receives re
ports and gives Instructions to the
foreman and It Is not necessary to
dwell on the commercial advantages
of maintaining such close touch be
tween headquarters snd outposts In
any enterprise. Inters are read to
men snowed lu the forest nifty or a
hundred miles away and answer dic
tated by the lumbermen to a stenog
rapher, who transcribes them In the
office and then malls them to their
homes.
Tbe relative contentment among the
men which la established by this fre
quent communication Is highly advan
tageous to the working force, and
therefore to the employers.
The applications of the telephone to
the operations of logging sre alike
novel and useful. Tbe lines sre run
upon forest trees along the banka of
rivers, and telephones which are placed
In sheltering boxes are attached to
trees and connected with the Hue.
The bete uolr of logging ia tue col
lecting of the loga together at some
nurrow place In a turbulent stream and
piling upon each other lu a "Jam" to
which contributions are made by every
log floating down the river to this spot
The formation or a Jam results from
some obstacle and generally occurs
without warning, and It requires great
labor, fraught with peril, to remove
the loga from their constricted posi
tion. It Is frequently necessary to use
dynamite, and much lumber ia destroy
ed by such explosions.
With the use of the telephone warn
ing of the Initial formation of a Jain
can be given by one of the men pa
trolling the banka, who telephones to
the men up the river to stop the fur
ther flow of logs at calm places termed
"tripe," and It Is an easy matter to
break the small Jam, for which fur
ther a Ml stance can be had by sum
moning men from points lower down
the stream.
Aa soon aa the email Jam Is removed
the men above are told through the
telephone to release the logs held at
tbe "trip" and tbe stream of logs Is re
sumed. Under former conditions a larger
number of men were employed, and
when a Jiwn was begun it was neces
sary to send messengers from one to
three miles through the forest In va
rious directions to direct the gangs to
stop the flow of logs and others to
summon help who are down the
stream to come up and break the Jam,
which bad meanwhile time to ampli
fy, and then, after the Jam had been
broken, second messengers must be
sent up the stream to release the logs
at the "trip."
By the promptness of telephonic
communication the' rate of sending
logs down the stream is Increased by
tbe avoidance of delays.
Beyond this the use of the telephone
renders log-dtivlng feasible on the
smaller rapid, rough streams, where It
was formerly out of the question.

World Seeks Water Power.
Tbe lessou of the use of Niagara
Falls for generating electricity has
been put to worldwide application.
says the New York World. Through
out the world falling water, according
to a paper rend before the Iliitlsh As
aociatlon by Campbell Ewlnton, yields
to man's use au energy equal to 1,483,-
3!H) horse power, of which Great Brit
ain figures for only 11,00(1 horse power.
Tho British Aluminum -Company
gets 7,000 horso power from the falls
of Foyers and It expects presently to
procure 17,000 horse power from Loch
Leven. The North Wales Electric
Power Company is about to tap Lake
Llydaw, on Snowdon, and hopes to ob
tain 8,200 horse power for every work
ing day of nine hours. Finally, the
Scotch Water Power Syndicate Is peer
ing round in quest of waters that it
can imprison at lofty levels and'eo
generate electric power. From Loch
Sloy, 757 feet above Iioch Lomond, it
is. going to get 8,000 horse power, and
at Ardlul, higher up, it proposes to
get further energy. Even a modest
stream that drops several hundred feet
may be a source of power.

That a sure cure for Backache would
be a priceless boon to the people, and
especially the women of America, is
admitted by all interested in medical
matters, and Mrs. Sue Williams of this
place is certain she has found in Dodd's
Kidney Pills the long-looked for cure.
"I am 38 years old," Mrs. Williams
says, "and have suffered with the
Backache very much for three or four
years. I have been treated by good
physicians and got no relief, but thanks
to God, I have found a cure at last and
it ia Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have taken
only one box and it has done me more
good than all the doctors in three or
four years. I want all sufferers from
Backache to know that they can get
Dodd's Kidney Pills and got well."
Backache is one of the first symptoms
of Kidney Dmcase. Guard againt
Bright's Disease or Rheumatism by
curing it with Dodd's Kidney Pills.
