How to Keen Apples.

After picking, apples should be stor-
ed in a cool, dark, well ventilated
place. The temperature should be kept
as near 80 degrees as possible. In
fact it may go two degrees below
freezing without injury. Heat and
light both help the ripening process;
hence are to be avoided.
The object is to retard the ripening
as much as possible. Except during
very cold weather, cellar or storage
room windows should be opened at
night and closed by day This will
assist in maintaining a uniform tenn
perature.

Newport News, Va, July ~, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from i'll
ness of fever, I had a severe attack of
InAammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which 1 was unable to leave my
room for several months. l was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of linaments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at the same time 1 was not
any nearer getting we'll. One day while
reading paper saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. 1 decided
to give it trial, which did at once.
After 1 had taken three bottles felt a
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerfully recommend S. S. S. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism.
