GOOD NEWS FOR COLDS

Science At Last Discovers A
After years of experiment a new
| scientific remedy has been found
t',at not only relieves, but absolutely
cures rheumatism and kindred dis
eases, to stay, Rheumatism is caused
by an excess of poisonour acids in
the blood. The new discovery RHEU-
MACIDE, though purely vegetable,
and acting through nature'schannels,
neutralizes these acids and sweeps
all posons and harmful germs out of
the blood. At the same time it tones
up the stomach and regulates the
liver and kidneys.
RHEUMACIDE therefore, cures
the disease permanently, because it
removes the cause. It has cured
hundreds of cases after the most
noted doctors and hospitals have
allied. RHEUMACIDE cured James
Wilkes, of Dillon, S. c., after he had
been held in bed by rheumatism
for three years and his feet were
drawn up almost to his back. This
is only n of the many marvelout
cures RHEUMACIDE has already
performed. R~HEUMACIDE is cur
ing many cases of Rheumatism,
Sciatica, lumbago, govt, kidney
trouble, indigestion and constipation,
right in this community today.
Because it has cured so many
others We believe it will cure you.
ALI the leading druggists in this
place sell and recommend RHEU
IMACIDE.

AS TO COTTON OWL
The Crop Acreage Should not be
Curtailed but the Market

g
Tnere was a feeling in the South
era Cotton Assori ton, which met
last week in New Orleans, that the
best p 'lIcy IN the cotton It's .ry
does not consist 30 much in a limi-
tation of acreage a it does in the
long run in growing as much cotton
as a naked world will take at re-
munerative price. The south can
crow cotton at a lower cost of pro-
ductiou than any other section can
grow it, and we should, therefore,
maintain our dominance in the
worlds commercial crop.
The planters at New Orleans be-
came convinced that the c0nsump-
ton of cotton can be, and should be,
widely expanded. MOI only should
cotton goods be carried to other
countries, but efforts should be made
10 ind new usas for cotton.
1t is believed that If southern sena-
tors and representatives would act
unitedly, Congress would appoint a
commission whUsy duty it would be
to widen the market for cotton

Interior China and Central Asia do

committed to such a project, and II
is not reasonable to think that any
one would oppose the granting of sc

territories that grow cotton. The

simply because
he couldn't find
her.

1t is easy to
smile and to talk
about the beau

when it isn't

In order to approximate the amount of mail matter sent out from Washington by representatives and senators and the various departments under frank, inquiry was recently made of each department in the city. The treasury department reported an average of seventy-five sacks per diem, which, at 300 letters or parcels to the sack, would amount to 22,5OO a day. The pension office sent out last year 1,7s5,000 pieces and the department of justice averages six sacks per diem, or, about 1,s00 pieces, estimating 300 to the sack. The oth- CT departments reported that no fig ures were available. As the distri- button of free seeds" amounts to 7,500,000 packages, the average is 25,000 packages a day for 300 work ing days, which is many times that of the department of justice, about three and a half times the entire mail from the pension office with a million pensioners, and greater even than that of the treasury depart ment. which collects the revenues of the government and which is SUD- posed to have the heaviest mail of all the departments.
