RHEUMATISM.
Have You Got lt?...If You
Have, Nov Is the Time
to Be Cured.

There are very few people OF middle or
advanced age that have not had more or
less experience with rheumatic pains. and
those who have not experienced those
pains can be thankful that they have been
spared from the suffering of one OF .he
greatest torments Of which flesh Is heir to.
What Is the cause Of rheumatism Is a
question frequently asked. volume
could be written on rheumatism and its
causes. This term is applied to all in
fiammatory affections of the fibrous. mus
cular and serous tissues. which are not
clearly referable to injury. The cause
may be said to be exposure to cold and
wet. sudden chills. residence in cold, damp
and variable climates Is common cause.
Tactic acid in the blood is supposed to be
one Of the chief causes A great deal has
been written on this subject--the cause
Of rheumatism. A joint or muscular tis-
sue that has been sprained Is more liable
to be the locality Of an attack. The
shoulders, wrists, knees, ankles and fin
gers are the joints generally attacked by
this complaint; also the muscles, and at
times Is accompanied by low grade of
fever. but let the complaint be seated
where 1t will, the patient Is a great suf-
ferer, and the question arises where and
how to get cured of this terrible COM
plant. Dr. F. b. Smith and stan have
made the treatment Of rheumatism one
Of their spec.alties for years and have
met with wonderful success. Their treat
ment of this disease by magnetism has
brought permanent cure to hundreds of
sufferers who bless the day they went TO
DR.. Smith and staff for treatment. If
you or any of your friends are suffering
from this complaint do not wait until the
winter rains and winds have caused your
pains to be so severe that you cannot leave
your home. but go at once. see those doc
tors, place yourself under their care and
be cured. Consultation free from to s
daily except Sundays. Tuesdays and Fri
days from a. m. to 9 p. m.

Apart from the inconvenience,
embarrassment and misery entailed
by laxity in paying what one owes,
especially when the creditors are the
poor, and the debts are small, there
is evident a serious lack of principle
in persons who can comfortably con-
tinue in debt.
Any lapse in the rigid honor which
insists on meeting each demand and
paying it In full at the moment of
it's maturity involves a loss of self
respect, and brings in its train a
warped morality.
Rhere are few things more import
ant in the education of children than
the fostering in them of the right
estimate of personal obligation. The
child should be enjoined against
borrowing and begging in his small
transactions. Let him be held IL
strict account and responsibility a.
to his management of his allowance
Fidelity here will tell in years tt
come, when his dealings are no long
er small, but affect great commercial
interests.

The HOTTEST PL.cp ON R,D,a,

THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH.
The hottest region on the earth's
surface is on the south western coast
of Persia, on the borders of the Per-
sian Gulf. For 40 consecutive DAVIS
in the months of July and August
the mercury has been known to
stand above 100 degrees in the shade
night and day, and to run up as
high as 100 in the middle of the
afternoon. AT Bahrin, in the center
of the most torrid belt, as though it
were natures intention to make the
place as %unbearable as possible, water
from wells is something unknown.
Great shafts have been sunk to a
depth of 500 feet, but always with
the same result-no water. Not
withstanding this serious drawback
a numerous population contrives to
live there, thanks to copious springs.
which burst forth from the bottom
of the gulf more than a mile from
the shore. The water from these
springs is obtained in a most cur
ious and novel manner. Machadores,
whose sole occupation is that of fur
nishing the people of Bahrin with
the lifc-saying fluid, repair to that
portion of the gulf where the springs
are situated, and bring away with
them hundreds of skin bags full of
water each day. The water of the
gulf where the springs burst forth
is nearly 900 feet deep, but the ma
chadores divers manage to fill
their goat-skin sacks by diving to
the bottom and holding the mouths
OF the bags over the fountain Jets /;
this, too, without allowing the salt
water of the gulf to mix with it.
The source of these submarine foun-
tains is thought to be in the hills of
Osmond, 500 miles away. Being
situated at the bottom of the gulf,
is a mystery how they were ever
discovered, but the fact remains
that they have been known since the
dawn of history.

to paying for work when done. Prob
