If you will get H fixed in your mind that Rheumatism is a blood ' disease and cannot be cured by local treatment, yorj will then by proper treatment begin to get the perma nent relief you have been seeking for so many yars. In this article we want to explain to you the cause of this most pain ful of all diseasfs, also affer sug gestions, founded on reason and long years of experience, which will enable you to secure the right treat ment if you are afflicted with any of the various forms of Rheuma tism, -y Rheumatism is a .specific blood fermentation, a souring oftthe cir culation from an excess of ric acid accumulating in the blood stream. This uratic impurity comes usually bs a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stomach disturbances. These systematic ir regularities may not be of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct effect on the elim inative members of the body, which prevents the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse remains In the stomach and bowels, and sour ing forms uric acid, which the blood quickly absorbs. Rheumatism is usually manifest ed in the joints and muscles.. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The pain f Rheumatism is caused by the con tact of the sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric icid causes to accumulate in the cor- fuscles of the blood about the oints. The stiffening of muscles md joints is usually gradual.

One of the three, Wartchow,. is almost cer tain of a place on the team and Symodius of Wahoo has a good chance. The breaks were all against the Wahoo bowler but he succeeded in rolling a good score. The scores were IShields 1811, Symodius 1897 and Wartchow 2002. W. R. Stern. 5314 Webster avenue, reports that he bagged a 10-pound jack rabbit just west of the city limits of Dundee.

Ed Hanlon of Sioux City, owner of St. Joseph's Western league base ball franchise, was here today for a con ference with local men concerning the sale of his holdings.

It is then that this poison in the blood has sapped the strength. The weakened blood has allowed' poison and impurities to accumulate, leav ing the sufferer with all energy gone. Scientists have discovered that the forest and field are abundantly supplied with vegetation pf various kinds, that furnish the Ingredients for making a remedy for practically every ill and ailment of mankind. Medicines made from roots, herbs and barks which Nature has placed at the disposal of man, are better than strong mineral mixtures and concoctions. Mineral medicines work dangerously on the delicate parts of the system, especially the stomach and bowels, ty eating out the lining membrane, producing chronic dyspepsia and often entirely ruining the health. S. S. S. is guaranteed to be a purely vegetable remedy. It is made entirely of gentle-acting, healing, purifying roots, ' herbs and barks, possessing properties that build up aU parts of the system, in addition to removing all impurities and poi sons from the blood. S. S. S. is a safe treatment for Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, and all disorders of the blood. It cleanses the entire system and it's permanent. S. S. S. is a standard remedy recognized everywhere as the greatest blood antidote ever discovered.

It is quite a differ ent move from what might be Iook o.'. for under the previous circum stances, but it is nonetheless tell ing. This splendid piece of modern melodramatic construction is being pkyed at the Boyd this week by. a really first class company.

If I i ! - - Cuthbert Trotman was a studious, but absent minded college "stujent." -He knew all about Homer and Aristotle. . . . He had read page after page regarding Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, and Mary, Queen of Scots. But his knowledge of the present-day Sorority "Queen" was nil. ""' He could write treatise after treatise on "The Dance of the Dryads," but he didn't know, even the first step of the modern two-sjep. In other words, Mr. Trotman had a B-B-B degree, which means in common, every-day language, brainy-but-bashful. ' , ' : ' Anyway, to keep our story going, one day his intellectual but tortoise-rimmed orbs' happened to light on "Pinkie" LeRue of the Follies and "Humanum est errare." It was all over with "Cuthie." After that, he couldn't tell you whether it wi Macbeth, who rowed up the River Nile, or 'Marc Anthony, who beheaded Queen Mary. All he knew was love LOVE LOVE! What's 'this all about? Beg h , v way several seasons ago and which today is running strong in stock houses all over the country.
