Ri, umatism Makes Life Miserable.

A happy home is the most valuable pos
session that is within the reach of mankind,
but you cannot enjoy its comforts if you are
suffering from rheumatism. You throw aside
business cares when you enter your home and
you can be relieved from those rheumatic
pains also by applying Chamberlan's Pain
Balm. One application will give you relief
and its continued use for short time will
bring about permanent cure. For sale by

easy task to which they applied themselves
and it was one which demanded the exercise
oi the utmost tact discretion and impartialty.
They had keen sense ot their own respon-

ahze now, that the enforcement Of the law
can be made far mare effective and satisiac-
tory by the local officials than by anyone else,
provided such local officials really desire 10
live up to the sprit of their oath Of oifiee.
The Enforcement Commission has never vet
begun operations IN any county until after
exhausting 10y argument and advice every

will never do otherwise. Nur will It be

where 1t believes the local officials are irving
TO do their duty, and where il believes that
such officials are meeting WITT as much sue-
cess as the Commission could accomplish 4

OF It's operations may NOT be extended, or
tina it is in ignorance Of the conditions that
prevail in certain counties In this matter il
is better 10 90 too slow than too fast Each
county and each sheriff must he treated fair

struggle or in twelve months time. and those
who believe in the honesty. sincerity and etii-
cheney OF the Commssi. n must give i; time t.

problems which confront it.
Every one will admit that with conditions
in the State as they are today the work Of
the Commission must he constant and absorb

a personal sacrifice of time and money, doing
it uncomplainingly in the face Of criticism
which, while not unexpected. is not always
tolerant or fair, and doing it because he be.

Five years ago." writes a doctor, Il
commenced to use Postum in my own
family instead of coffee. I was so well
pleased with the results that had two
grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing
it's sale.
Il then commenced to recommend it
to my patients in place of coffee, as a
nutritious beverage. The consequence
is, every store in town is now selling it,
as it has become a household necessity
in many homes.
I'm sure I prescribe Postum as often
as any one remedy in the Materia

with the best results.
When once introduce it into a fam

operation is necessary it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operationsl
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink

escaped serious operations.

State Board of Health Orders Cement
Floors for Slaughter Houses.

A revision of the sanitary rules of
the state board of health has been de-
c1ded on by the state board of health
and DR.. S. J. Crumbine. the secretary
OF the board, is hard at work whipping
the revision into shape. The present
sanitary code was adopted many years
ago and the revision is being made to
bring it up to date. Several of the
old rules will be cut out, many new
ones added, and Others changed to
suit the conditions which have de-
Feloped in the last year or so. The
new rules are to be formulated as a
result of the Investigations of the
members of the board of health and its
secretary into sanitary matters
one of the most important rules to
pc added to the code is one prohibit
ing the construction of cesspools and
vaults, unless water tight within fifty
feet Of any Well and the proposed rule
INTO any stream except through a regu-
lar sewer, and must not be drained
INTO any underground flow which is
used for drinking purposes. This rule
IS made chiefly to apply to western sec
ions or the state where the underflow
of the rivers furnishes the water sup
ply An investigation on the part of
the board of health during the past
summer revealed the fact that much
typhoid fever in the state was caused
by cesspoolS draining into these over
flows. The board has also decided
that the practice of using abandoned
wells for cesspools must cease.
Another new and important rule
viii be one that viii make it obligatory
for the county boards Of health to
make A thorough inspection of slaugh-
ter houses at least once a year.
An imperative rule will be put in
the code compelling the proper au-
