The Cause Of Rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk
and cider, called tactic acid, is be-
lieyed by physicians to be the cause
Of rheumatism. Accommodating in
the blood, it attacks the fibrous
tissues in the joints, and causes
agonizing pains. What is needed is a
remedy to neutralize the acid, and to
90 invigorate the kidneys and liver
that all waste will be carried off,
Hoods Sarsaparilla is heartily rec.
commended by many whom it has
cured Of rheumatism. 1t possesses
just the desired qualities, and so
thoroughly purifies the blood as to
prevent occurrence of rheumatic at
tacks. Wesuggest trial of Hood S
Sarsaparilla by all who suffer from
rheumatism.

In 1912 Harvard graduated a class
of nine members. A hundred years

later the classes had more than doub.

The feeling is becoming so strong
against the newspaper fakirs who
make their living by selling alleged
West Virginia news to metropolitan
Journals that they will soon have to
go out of business. For years these
fellows have piled their nefarious
trades much to the detriment of the
state. A few weeks ago the citizens
of q town in the southern part of the
state held meeting and served no.
tice on their man to depart. Similar
action it seems will be necessary at
other points. In many cases their
alleged dispatches were based upon
an item that appeared in a county
paper published in the interior of
the state and the matter would be
dished up as special happening
yesterday" or ''today" when in fact
it was very trivial affair A short
time ago lot of the same kind OF
stuff was sent to the Pittsburg pa
pers referring to ian immense oil
case" 1t contained about as much
truth as the balance of the stuff.

1t is amusing to hear some of our
subscribers relate their experience
with the newspaper borrowers
persons who make it practice
week after week, to run over to SEE
the paper, OF send and get it and
never return-it. This we imagine
would become monotonous in time
and is an imposition that is too fire..
quent to continue friendly relation
ship between near neighbors. If the
paper is worth reading it is worth
paying for-and there are few, very
few, families that are too poor to pay
for their home paper.

The Richmond Dispatch thinks
that The Southern States ought to
vote pension to Mrs. Jefferson Da-
Wis, and Virginia should lead the
movement. 1t is nothing but fair
and proper that we should put her
upon the same footing that the Uni
ted States Government places the
widows Of its Presidents. The duty
deyolves upon the States that Gem
posed the Confederacy,as the Confed
eracy is thing of the past. 1t can
not be very costly precedent for
US, inasmnch rs there will never be
another Confederaey, and, therefore,
never another widow Of Confeder-
ate President"
1t is said that the proposition to
vote Mrs Davis an annual sum is ia
vorably considered in Virginia and
may be carried out by the Legisla-
ture inaugurating movement in
which other Southern States may
join.

most men do, that the minute he was
married he would quit smoking. and, OF
course, as most mon do, within a month
after the wedding he was indulging him :
self on the way down-t town. or course,
he had tho odor OF tobacco smoke about
his clothes continually, and he tried to
make his wife bolovo that it came from
being where other men wore smoking
but she would not have it. SO lie boldly
confessed and began to smoke in tho
house. This, she declared, she would not
endure, and tho poor gentleman was put
to his trumps to satisfy his craving for
the weed. As it happened there is o
police station across the way, and he be-
thought him that tho officers might per-
NIT him to smoke in one Of tho detention
cells. He applied to tho captain and
his request was granted. So every even
