PAIN IN THE JOINTS
Rheumatic fortunes Cease When DR..
Williams Pink Pills Make

The first sign of rheumatism is fire.
luently a pain and swelling in one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature Intended.
Mrs. /. T. Pitcher, of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
g 1t began with queer feeling i'll my
fingers. In a little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and could not get my gloves on.
'Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. could not stand up and l
could not sleep nights My suffering
was more than can describe. / took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until L tried DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.

that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some of the pills. took
them for three weeks before really felt
better but they finally cured me. "
Mr.. Pitcher, who is veteran and a
member of E d. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.

A remarkable case of spontaneous

Rams had been in use there for
some time, which by 1870 or 200

advance of the piles. The foundation
was such that the pillars had to be
driven through the quicksand down to
the solid ground.
On Withdrawing some piles, the
points of the latter were found. owing
to the enormous friction, to have
been charred entirely and heated to
such point as to begin burning
spontaneously on coming in contact
with the air; nor could iron shoes
prevent this spontaneous ignition.

SPEAKING @uNoes THE ROSE"
Varying Versions of Origin Of Famous
Phrase.


The phrase under the rose" had its
origin in the wars between the En-
glish houses of Lancaster and York.
The parties respectively swore by the
red or the white rose, and these OPP
posite emblems were displayed as
signs of two taverns, one of which
was by the side of and the other OPP
posite to the Parliament House, in old
Palace Yard, Westminster. Here the
retainers and servants of the noble
men attached TO the Duke of York
and Henry vi used to meet. Here
also, as disturbances were frequent,
measures, either of defense or annoy
ance, were taken, and every trans
action was said to be done under the
rose;" by which expression the most
profound secrecy was implied. Ac-
cording to others. the term originated
in the fable of Cupid giving the rose
to Harpocrates, the god of silence, as
bride to prevent him betraying the
amours of Venus, and was hence
adopted as the emblem of silence. The
rose was for this reason frequently
sculptured on the ceilings of drinking
and feasting rooms, as a warning to
the guests that what was said in mo-
ments of conviviality should not be
repeated from which, what was in
tended to be kept secret was said to
me under the rose" Roses were
consecrated as presents from the
Pope. In 1926 they were placed over
confessionals as the symbols of ST.
lence. Hence, according to some, the
origin of the phrase.

MIGHTY THIN.

At the continuation of the Inter
state Commerce commissions hearing
at Denver on the Union Pacific coal
land, deals, Judge Cyrus Beard Of the
supreme court of Wyoming testified
that he had been a party to fraudulent
acquisition of coal lands in Wyoming
by the railroad. Judge Boards evil
dence is to the effect that on the rec
ommendation of one of the Union Pa
eifc officials and with railroad money
advanced by him, he purchased GER
tain coal lands and on the recommen-
dation- of the same Official sold them
at an advance of 5000 to the head of
the Union Pacific coal department.
This is all quite plausible and cred
table, but when Judge Beard persists
under oath in denying that he knew
that the superintendent Of the coal de-
partment was acting for the Union
Pacific, he treads on mighty thin ice.
Judge Beard has been practicing law
in the state Of Wyoming for more
than fifteen years and must In that
time have become reasonably familiar
with the identity OF the representa-
tives of the railroad company. II he
went into such transaction without
inquiring as to its meaning, 1t must
have been because he did not want to
know what was behind 1t. The rail-
road agents must have had some OBJ
ject in putting 5000 into the pockets
of Judge Beard, as they are not In the

they expect reciprocity. even though
this transaction may have occurred
