COLD WAVES

people liable to the pains and aches Of rheu-
matism dread every change to damp OF

pariila is not claimed to be q positive spe.
citic for rheumatism, the remarkable cures
it has effected show that may be taken for
this complaint with reasonable certainty OF
benefit. Its action in neutraliZlng the ac-
idity of the blood, which is tn cause of
rheumatism, constitutes the secret Of the
success Of Hoods Sarsaparilla. you suffer

rest and longer vac cstions, The rail-
road has in all these directions
changed our social and business life 30
that we lead wholly different hives
from all the men who have gone be-
fore. On the other hand, it has been
ofvery great mental benefit. 1t is said
that insanity was at one time very
common among farmers. The dull
ness and stupidity of their lives dro Q
them into mental collapse. The rail-
road now brings the town to the farm,
the city paper comes to the rural
fireside, and trips to town are cheap
and easy. The appalling monotony of
country life is quickened by the rush
of the train through the quiet valleys.
and life seems more worth living, be-
cause more interesting. Balancing ole
thing against another We must con-
clude that there is a gain in all this.
we must remember tndJ only TWO
generations have had the railroad,
while thousands of generations got
along very well without it. 1t takes
time to bring people to neS expert
ences, to train them to tie new
methods of doing business, to the
changed conditions of social and do
mestic life. The wonder is not so
much that so many are injured by the
speed Of modern life, but that so few
fail to adjust themselves to these rail
road times. Viewed from the highest
standpoint, life is far more worth
living to-day than ever before, because
We can experience more. Doing less
work in year, having more leisure,
free to move about aud gain the
splendid education Of travel, we may
we'll congratulate ourselves that our
lives have fallen ON such active days.
Life is worth more To day, because
