MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and Inexpensive and
Really Does the Work , Says
Noted Authority.
Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of that
dread disease , Rheumatism , which Is
no respecter of ago , persons , sex ,
color or rank , will bo Interested to
know that it is ono of the easiest af
flictions of the human body to con
quer. Medical science has proven It
not a distinct disease in itself , but a
eymptom caused by Inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid In the blood
and other waste products of the sys
tem which should bo filtered and
ctralned out In the form of urine. The
function of the kidneys Is to sift thcso
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however , are of sponge-llko substance ,
the holes or pores of which will some
times , either from overwork , cold or
exposure become clogged , and falling
in their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood , they remain
in the veins , decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles , causa
the untold suffering and pain of rheu
matism and backache , often producing
complications of bladder nnd urinary
disease , and general weakness.
The following simple prescription Is
Bald to relieve the worst cases of
rheumatism because of Us direct ac
tion upon the blood and kidneys , re

Costly New York Living Apartments
YEAR
t CAIU
THAT
CHEAP
NEW YORK. In the city of New
York , where millionaires seem to
thrive llko mushrooms In a cellar ,
there Is being constructed an apart
ment house In which a suite of rooms
will rent for $25,000 a year. Probably
this rental Is the highest tlmt has ever
been asked for mr apartment , even
such as will be found In this house , a
series of 18 rooms nnd so many baths
that one would be able to use a differ
ent ono every day In the week and
two on Sunday without doubling on
his trail. It Is the apotheosis of lux
ury ; the last word , so far as the hit
man mind of today can Imagine , In
scandalous magnificence. In other
words , the builders of this house have
set a new pace for spendthrifts In the
way of living. A yearly rental of $18-
000 Is the highest that has over before
been asked for unfurnished housekeep
ing apartments In New York city.
The new apartment house will have
17 apartments ono on each of the 17
floors and five duplex apartments In
addition. The eleventh nnd twelfth
floors will be devoted to apartments
which will occupy all the floor space ,
nnd these will rent for $25,000 a year.
The apartments which ulinro n floor
with half of a duplex apartment will
rent for $18,000.

This Murderer 36 Years in One Cell
. Bent and marked with
BOSTON.
prison paler , Jesse II. Pomeroy ,
serving a life sentence in Charlestown ,
Mass. , has written his own story of his
crime and his efforts to better his con
ditions shut away from the freedom ot
the world. Ho Is now 50 years of ago
and was convicted of a double murder
when he was only fourteen years of
ago. All these years have been spent
In solitary confinement and the pris
oner declares he has never felta
touch of human sympathy or kindness
and no effort haa ever been made to
better his condition. "I have no
friends , " he writes. "I cannot get a
hearing from the governor. I have
been left to my own devices In my cell
all thcso years. "
Pomeroy killed two children , a boy
and a girl.after treating thorn with
barbaric cruelty. Ho Inveigled other
small children Into isolated sections ,
stripped them of their clothing , tied
them to trees or upon boards and then
beat them until they were unconscious ,
stuck plnn Into their tender flesh nnd
stabbed nnd jabbed them with knives.
When this boy with the demon heart
was finally run down and forced to
confess he barely escaped lynching.
Only his youth saved him fr9in the
hangman's noose.
Pomeroy's letter to the public In
general and to the governor of Massa
chusetts In particular Is a lengthy
document. Ho cites many reasons why
ho believes he should not have been
convicted of murder and concludes
with an appeal to the governor.
In his plea he cays : "I respectfully
suggest that this prisoner may have
some encouragement In doing well. Ho
Is no worse than his neighbors. Kind
ness IK never lost on anyone , and this
prisoner has all his life shown him
self responsive to kind treatment.
Public feeling against mo is respons
ible for the deeply rooted and persist
ent newspaper misrepresentation all
these years , and that public feeling
was d'ie to ilowspaper exaggeration
und notoriety in 187-1. Of course It
cannot bo denied that the crime was
dreadful and that public Justice re
quired satisfaction ; but the truth Is ,
no effort has been made from that
day to this to better thin prisoner's
condition. "

pay about fifteen cents. There Is the

leaders and club women put on
white aprons one day recently and
armed themselves with brooms to lend
a militant crusade against dirt in the
city's streets and back yards. They
raised a prodigious dust , and found
the cxporlcnco no less Interesting and
no more strenuous than their accus
tomed bridge parties or dancqs. Inci
dentally , they accomplished a real
good , for they obtained the assistance
of flvo or six thousand housewives ,
each of whom agreed In advance to
sot apart the day for a general clean
ing of their respective premises.
For this one day the municipal street
can bo found In n private city dwelling
occupying the regulation city lot , and
the number of holmes In New York
that occupy more than one lot oven In
"Millionaires' How" do not exceed n
score. The four principal rooms ot
each apartment the salon , dining-
room , living room and gallery cover
2,500 aiiuuro feet , and they are so ar
ranged that they can bo turned into
practically ono Immense room for on-
tcrtalnlug. Each apartment will have
at least three or four real llreplacos
whore real logs can be burned ; an In
cinerating plant for the disposal of
garbage ; vacuum cleaning system ax-
tended to every room ; the latest boat
ing , ventilating and refrigerating uys-
tcms , and both electric and gas ranges.
In the basement there will be , bo-
sldos the Individual laundries for each

rooms equipped with laundry machin
ery. There will be wlno vaults , cold
storage rooms and two large storage
looms for each apartment as well. Two

which will heat and light the building.
In addition there will bo machinery to

In this effort a sign of that time often

girls pay flvo cents an hour. This does
away with washing in the rooms and
may save , If the girl is clover with

would amount to , minus the nominal
laundry fee to the houso.
There is no dormitory system , al
though In a few large rooms there
may bo three or oven four single beds.
Most of the rooms , however , are for
two , and there are a number of single
rooms in every club. Maids do the
chamber work and the general cleanIng -
Ing , for the housework there Is no
co-oporntlon , some girls must be at
their desks or their shops or their
counters early. There Is also a sew
ing machine in every club for the free
use of the girls.
In these Eleanor clubs the young
women have much of the freedom of
home , perhaps all that would be pos
sible In so largo a family. They have
the parlors and verandas for receiving
their friends and , eo far as possible ,
