How Long Must I Suffer
From the Pangs of Rheumatism?
Is there no real relief ia sight?
Doubtless like other sufferers, yon
have often asked yourself this ques
tion, which conticues to remain un
answered. Science has proven that your Rheu
fnatistn is caused by a gerfn in your
blood, and the only way to reach it is
by a remedy which eliminates and re
moves these little pain demons from
your blood. This explains why lini
Weuts and lotions can do no perma
nent good, for they cannot possibly
reach these germs which infest your
blood by the millions.
S. S. S. has been successfully used
for Rheumatism for more than fifty
years. Try it to-day, and you will
nnd yourself at last on the right
track to get rid of your Rheumatism.
You can get valuable advice about the
treatment of your individual case by

Thero was nothing further from our
thoughts
Than furs some weeks ago
But now what a hurry
To get something furry
Because it looks like snow?
No,
Because they become us so.
Now York, Oct. 27. "Well Norah,
I have a pelerine," said my next door
neighbor to her new maid the other
day. Nora's faee grew long and sor
rowful. "Indeed, Mam, and will yo bo
Jiavin' an operation?" she demanded
in hushed ana sympathetic tones.
If you are uncertain like Norah as
to the nature of the lady's ailment 1
will do a Noah Webster to pelerino
and elucidate the fact that it is "a
lady's cape or tippet. ' What fur is a
perelinc is a foolish question these
days for one sees them on every hand
or more literally on every shoulder.
Most of the smartest new ones show
elits for 'the arms in a fashion much re
sembling the dolman of yesterday.
Some roach to the waist line and oth
ers, without tho arm holes of course,
merely ripple around the- shoulders.
Some are crossed in front like a sur
plice and fastened at the waist line be
hind. There are divers variations and
each one more stunning than the oth
er. Usually a combination of two furs
is used in their evolving when the
tur is ot the short haired varioty such
as mole with ermine or seal with-ermine
but those of Kolinsky, sablo fox
or skunk are richer in the one long
haired fur.
One peachy little set in bright blue,
peau lie pcehe and molo lias a long
scarf of the blue bordered in tho mole
to be swathed around it's owners lucky
little throat and caught with a stun
ning silver ornament. The sassy little
closo fitting hat has a crown of blue
topped with two bobbing pompoms of
the mole whilo the turned up brim of
tho molo is caught at just the right
spot with the wing of the silver orna
ment on the scarf. A long bag of the
peau de peetie finished at the bottom
with a band of tho fur and a pompom
Swings on a silver cord.
A Btartling little jacket of seal is
diagonally bisected across the front
with a two inch band of vivid green
and silver brocade. The seal muff and
the huge flat seal bag show the same
green and silver bias streak. This lit
tle jacket shows a stand up military
collar but on most of tho long fur
coats of the season the notch collar
winch is worn cither spread open cov:'
enng the entire back shoulder expanse
or folded up snug and close in chin
chin style is featured.
The favored model for the long coats'
shows the rather close fitted top with
a well defined waist lino to which is
auacnea tne tun nun ins- skirt VMh.i
er with or without a fur girdle or belt
these coats are so decidedly new in
outline that one just has to have ones
last years coat done over to meet their
mi I requirements.
a ne Deii sleeve is endeavoring to
ring the changes on the fur coat sleev
es even as it has on our frocks. Deeply
banded in fur it is very effective.
For the ubiquitous knitters who
cease not from their purling in public
even though the snow flies come new
est knitting bags of fur, sleek and ca
pacious and thereby hangs a tail or
rarncr a score ot them adnnelo in the
row along the bottom of the bag. It is
a Kolinsky bag that has the tail trim
ming but much more artistic are the
bags of mole or seal, cmhroidererl in a
design of vivid worsted flowers on the
side as if you say "I flnunt all my
bright colored wool on the outside of
me -ut inside I treasure only wool of
khaki and navy blue." A cunning tur
ban of tho fur wool ,cmbroidered, goes
with theso knitting bags. Cynic that I
am, these sets set me wondering if
the poor soldier in the frozen trench
wouldn't be able to get a lot more
warmth out of the fur bag nnd bonnet
than out of the wristlets and mufflers
which their owners will eventually
evolve.

the latter are "splendid" mainly be
cause their officers are "top-hole." All
you will get out of the officers on that
subject is that Regulation No. 1, when
a man gets a commission in the British
army is: "Men first, officers next.'! An
officer's business, in other words, is to
see that his men are well looked after.
If there is any time left when, he has
done that, he may look after himself.
But Tommy comes first. That is why
the relations between superior and su
bordinate in the mighty citizens' army
of British are perfect in the highest
degree. Duke's son and cook's son are
real pals. Class distinction are nou-exis"-tent

here in October, 1916, and 1 have run
into precisely the same sort of atmos
pheric and topographical ill luck this
time. My emotions of disappointment
and disgust are nothing .compared to
the wratu that tills the souls ot Haig s
men at the mercilessuess of tho Weath
er God in churning the western front
into mud at xthis particular juncture.
Though we hear that Haig has achieved
every single immediate objective Mb
statf had set itself, there is wailing
and gnashing of teetn that operations
have been checked which might well
have been carried forward to vastly
more far-reachmg strategic adcantage.
"Rotteuluck" is the only complaint
these dogged wrappers of Britain, mud-
caked and ram-soaked, can be persuad
ed to utter, but it galls them to the mar
row that a "show" every battle is a
"show" in British army parlance so
successfully inaugurated should have
been brought to a standstill by second
rate things like the elements. They have
beaten Tommy Atkins before during the
past three years many a time. Since
the retreat, from Mons, indeed, they are
about tho only thing that has beaten
him. He hates them almost as cordially
as he does the Boclie
Yet I am glad to have arrived at the
war to find it once again more muauy
than bloody; for it provides an excellent
ad unexamplified opportunity of seeing
the hardships in which tho Jintisn sol
dier has to live and fight, compared to
the outright luxury in which the best of
us I don't care how humble his lot
lives by comparison. I am in tonight
from a day in the trenches beyond.-.,
a network of linos till they were knock
ed to nieces and annexed by Haig in tho
great April offensive. It rained all the
time. The trenches were sriuey auu very
sticky and the "duck-boardB" along
which we traveled wore afloat a good
chnro of the dav. But tho only people
who used really strong language about
having to eat, sleep ana uavigaxe ,i"
such soggy territory was our party of
civilian tenderfoots. The cave-dwellers
in khaki whom we encountered in cul
loss numbers wero as happy as school
children on a picnic. Clay-spattered fro
head to foot, their, clothes, of ten wring
ing wei, they looked up from whatever
happened to be their tasks and grinned
as we passed. t t: :
Our chief and always dominating im
pression was of their grins and smiles.
I am fiimly convinced that soldiers who
can laugh" in such weather cannot .bo
overcome by anything, not even the
Prussian military machine. Perhaps
Tommy smiled more broadly than usual
today at our expense, for during our
hike from a certain quarry to a certain
front lino "Fritz" sent over whizz
bangs which caused us arm-chair warm
ers from home to duck and dodge in
the most un-Napolconic manner, even
though onr gyrati ns were in ooeaience
to Nature's first la wr-self -preservation
When you're in a trench and a shell
screeches through the heavens you al
ways hear it and never see it the tem
ptation to side-step is tiie last word in
irresistibility. You have been provided
with a steel helmet before starting out
on the expedition, in view of the possi
bility that a stray piece of Uerman
chrapnel may come your way. These hel
mets have saved many a gallant Tommy
lilen death, but holes have been
bored through tho anatomies of others,
helmets to tho contrary notwithstand
ing. After you have hear, a "whizz
bang" and find that you arc still intact

You experience an indefinable sense of
relief when you are ioiu hum, it "
"one of ours" but you keep on duck
ing in the same old way whenever the
air is rent. ,
Vm it is the invincible grin of Tom
my Atkins in abnominal atmospheric
surroundings and in tho omnipresent
shadow of 'death that has photographed
itself most indelibly on my memory to
day. But next to that 1 am sirucn uy
his amazing good health as mirrored by
his ruddy cheeks and bright eyes. Cer
tainly the strapping young fellows
whom I have seen are a vastly finer,
sturdier lot, physically viewed, than any
set of men now running around the
tMDt. f Tendon in citizens' clothes.
It is manifestly
who backed against the trench to let us
pass. We asked him the stereotyped
question well, Tommy, how goes
Hi" wis answer was unmistakably ty
pical of the spirit which dominates the
whole army. The men are not happy to
oe mere. They long for the war to end.
They do not put in their time in the
slush and rain cheering and birring.
They hanker for "Blighty." They -want
to go home. But not until the grim busi
ness that brought them to France is sat
isfactorily finished. They want no
Stockholm-made peace. They are fight
iug for a knock-out. They are battling
and enduring ("carrying-on", they cali
n) on son Hallowed with the blood and
bones of too many thousands of their
gloriouB comrades-in-arms to bs satis
fied with any ending of tho war which
would turn the sacrifices of those who
have "gone west" into a mockery.
I left behind me iu London a lot of
dismal, gloomy and downhearted friends
candidates all for Pessimists' Clubs. I
wish they could have hiked through
tho trenches with me today. It is the
finest cure in the world for the blues.
It may thunder and pour day and night
in Trenchlaud, and the country may be
a morass for miles in every direction.
But the sun of optimism and confidence
is always shining in the British Army s
heart.
