Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest

Joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure aud health sustain

feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and

IT is not yet noticeable that the

sible trouble that Congress may make
for them. 1t isa sad fact that there
is absolutely no danger Of legislation
hostile to these combinations. The

IT is said that President Roosevelt
in his message to Congress next Mon
day will take strong ground against
the trusts and combinations that are
cornering the products of the United
States and the means of transporting
them from one part of the country to
the other. This will be to his credit,
of course, but he is going against a
stone wall when he tackles the trusts
through Republican Congress. He
will find more allies among the Dem
ocrats than in his own party.

men for higher wages. The high
prices of the necessities of life compel
pretty plain living at ordinary wages,
and men are forced to demand more
if they are to live in comfort. The

out of the prosperity save those who
