Saws This Prescrip-
ton Cures Rheu-
matism, and Puri-
fies Too

The most cruel bodily Ill which we
mortaIs are liable is rheumatism. 1t
is a stubborn, torturing and often
deadly disease. Frequently 1t 1s the
ruin Of mind, bodily health and for
tune. When once it sets In it shows
no favor between millionaire and
workman. When it does not kill by
the heart, it is apt to cripple and
deform. Imperfect elimination OF
waste matter by the excretory or
gans, the bowels and urinary tract,
also the skin pores, results in accu-
mutations of uric acid and pofsons
in the blood and tissues. The resto-
ration of the functions of the kid
news is absolutely necessary. and
the following will undoubtedly do
it. 1t is known far and wide as the
"Gaut prescription" and any hon
est druggist will mix it for you. 1t
p,,rtffes the blood, tones up the
euminative organs and seldom fails
to cure rheumatism.
Mix in a bottle " ounce fluid ex-
tract buchu. / ounce compound fluid
balmwort and 2 ounces compound
syrup sarsaparilla. The directions
are to take one teaspoonful after
each meal and one at bedtime,
|. drinking plenty Of water between
meals but little at the table. Al
. this season nothing better can be
used as a tonic and blood purifier.

AT WAR WITH MODERN CHARITY,
Washington Character Denouncss II
AS Too Theoretical.

Folks call me queer because I'm
PRACTICAL said little old man who
has been floating about. Washington
for several years carrying in his mind
and his inside coat pocket scheme
of practical charity" as he terms it,
which he desires to put into operation
in the District of Columbia. His
scheme is outlined on a piece of pa
per, well worn and soiled, and he says
he has tried to interest congress in the
matter, but without avail.
Modern charity is too theoretical"
he explained when a poor fellow is
hungry he wants food, not advice.
When he is cold he wants warmth, not
an essay or lecture on how to get work
and live cheaply When he is without
sufficient clothing and the pitiless
north wind is turning him blue with
cold he wants warm clothing and not
talk on some scientific and theoretical
plan for solving the poverty problem"
Now, my proposition the old man
continued, lis for each community to
have a refuge home and storerooms.
The home to be, as it's name indicates,
a refuge for the homeless, with work
shop attachment and an employment
agency to furnish work for the unem-
ployed; the storerooms to supply food
and fuel to needy families. I would
also have an inebriate department and
engage IN practical charitable work,
always under Christian auspices.
The motto of my institution would
be: Any man is worthy of food when
he is hungry; of warmth when he is
cold, and of clothes when he is naked
Every dollar we receive would be eX-
pended to alleviate human suffering in
this awful era of midnight bread lines
and idleness among the industrial
masses, and not penny should go for
theory"

why it is the best of personal and family

on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.

WHERE RED TAPE RULES.
Deliberation Marks Proceedings in
the Patent Office.

"One thing has been discovered in
the department Of the interior slow
er than it's elevator. This is the pros.
ess OF getting a copy of the beautiful
magazine published there under the
enhancing title of The Patent Office
Gazette said a wearyloOking Wash
lngton man the other day Il wanted
to find out something more about the
new Maxim noiseless pistol, which is
to be such a priceless boon to high
Waymen, and | made the fatal error
OF going to the patent office to get it,
First was told to walk a block to
the office of the chief clerk, where q
copy would be given to me- l walked
the block, but found on arrival that
the chief clerk had nothing to do with
the matter, one of his secretaries
pushing me forth upon a journey up
stairs and half block down a cOrri-
dor to the room Of a clerk who was
said to have the distribution of the
magazines. When / finally made that
port and had told the clerk what [
wanted he went to cage and asked
a man confined therein to hand out a
copy of the last Gazette. The man
! handed out copy a week Old but the
clerk did not discover this until he
had been told three times, when he
managed to get the last one from the
cage. AT last, l. thought, I have
it But such ineffable bliss was
fated not to be mine. The clerk went
back into his room, filed out a form,
and told me that | must go downstairs,
buy a. f1ve-cent coupon from financial
clerk and return with it, when he
would be ready to hand over a copy
of the Gazette. By this time almost
three-quarters of an hour had ELAPSED,
and | am a busy man; but l thought I
had better follow the tangle of red
tape to it's finish, now that | had start
ed. So l made the journey downstairs
to the financial clerks office and stood
around there watching persons Iolling
in chairs and not offering to do any,
thing until disbursement overlook
me, when [ went back upstairs and
told the clerk with the Gazette that [
would have to send boy with two or
three hours to spare to complete the
complicated transaction. I did not
get the Gazette that l went after but
l spent an instructive hour, for l
learned where the true elysium is sit
uated, the place where time does not
exist, the real country of dolce far
niente. But woe to the visitor who
butts in and expects anything to be
done!"

Senator Galiinqer as Editor,

Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire, is the unofficial editor of the
upper house. The senator has been.
in former stages of his career, both
an editor and printer, so that he
is eminently qualified for the position
which has been accorded to him by
general consent. Sometimes as often
as half a dozen times a day the SEN
ator from the Granite state rises and
moves to amend the various bills
which come before the senate by
making this or that change in spell
ing, grammar or usage of words and
phrases, in each instance his sugges-
ton tending to improve the English
of the document, make more clear it's
meaning or correcting typographical
errors
