WINS HER
 INSURANCE Mrs. MA.W. Riley Gets
 Two Thousand. DISCUSSION OF PREMIUMS Right of Forfeiture Waived by Taking Money. Loss is by Security Mutual occnsIoned by Death of Late William T. Riley-other Opinions.

& Mrs. Mollie A. W. Riley was the re-
 cipient yesterday of a handsome
 Thanksgiving token at the hands of
 the Supreme Court of Alabama. It was
 worth S2,000 and had been hanging fire < In the courts for over two years. Life < Insurance in that sum had been left by ! her husband, the late William T. Riley, ] zbut for certain reasons the Security
 Mutual Life Insurance Company had declined to pay it to the widow.
 In making the award of this sum the Supreme Court also gave some good pointers to general agents and special agents of life insurance com panies operating in Alabama. It was decided that if payment of premiums on a policy comes after the due date but is accepted by duly authorized agent of the company and retained. the policy Is sound if the insured dies meanwhile. This is held to be true Notwithstanding there may be a clause in the contract which provides for forfeiture of the policy unless pre- miums are paid on or before the day on which they are due.
 W. T. Riley had carried his policy about ten years, having first insured with the Bankers Guarantee and Life Association, of Atlanta, which company reinsured with the Security Mutual aDout three years later. He was about
 week late in paying his premium through his son-in-law. It was paid
 to local bank, which did not hesitate to receipt the insured for the full amount, the latter being sent on to the Southern Department offices in Allan ia and there deposited by General Agent Coneld as In the regular course
 of receiving premiums and remitting to the home office in Binghamton. N. Y.
 But before the premium reached the
 Home office the insured died. On pres entation of proof of death by the ben enciary the company refused payment
 Thereupon suit was brought in the Montgomery City Court. The latter gave an affirmative charge and it was this Judgment that was affirmed by the Supreme Court yesterday. Justice N. D. Denson wrote the opinion.

TO CURE YOUR RHEUMATISM
Why Not Employ a Method of Treatment That Is Not an
 Experiment.

Infiammatory rheumatism, acute Rheumatism and rheumatic fever are different names for the same thing.
 It comes on with hardly any warning. The pain is severe and there Is a ten dsncy of the disease to attack the heart. when 1t may have fatal results.
 Anyone who has suffered from in- hammatory rheumatism knows that the usual treatment is highly unsatis- factory. Externnl applications of hot cloths and liniments and internal doses of salicylaes to relieve the pain are not enough, for they do not drive the poison from the blood and the sufferer Is liable to renewed attacks whenever exposed to draughts. cold or dampness.
 To cure rheumatism so that 1t will stay cured the rheumatic poison in the blood must be driven out and the blood made rich and red When the blood is pure there can be no rheumatism. pr. Williams Pink Pills build up the blood and cure rheumatism in the only logi- cal way.
 Mir. Howard c. Decker of No. 43 Butler Street, Paterson N. J.. owes his cure of this painful disease to Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills. He tells of of his ex- perience as follows:
 "I suffered with inhammatory rheu- matism for about two yeare and think it was hereditary in my case as my father was afflicted with it for years. was confined to my bod with it for nearly three months following the first attack. The rheumatism was in my knees and legs and finally worked down to the feet and ankles. For eighteen months was unable to walk on my left heel. My knees ankles and feet were swollen and could not put on my shoes. suffered with terrible pains, even the weight of the bed clothes on my limbs caused me intense agony For a short time the rheumatism was in my arms and shoulders. I was helpless and unabel to work. was extremely ner- muscles. I lost in weight from 1S1 pounds to 133 pounds.
 Different doctors pronounced my case incurable and their medicines did not have much effect. I was finally led to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills through reading newspaper. My general con- dition gradually improved under this treatment and after giving the pills a fair trial I was entirely cured. can now walk as well as ever and have no pain at all. have regained by weight and never felt better in my life. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are certainly a wonderful blood medicine"
 If you are suffering from rheumatism in any form and find that the treatment you are taking does not relieve you. or If you are actually getting worse while taking other treatment, then do not delay but give Dr. Williams Pink Pills a thorough trial The remedy that cures others will cure you.
 A valuable booklet, "Diseases of the Blood" containing more information. about rheumatism and other diseases ol the blood will be sent free upon re- quest.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be sent. postpaid on receipt of price. 30 cents per box: six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company. Schenectady N. Y

Gable Service Began 40 Years Ago.
F~orty-nine years ago the laying of
the first Atlantic cable was completed
and the first messages sent over it
were an exchange of sentiments be.
tween the queen of England and our

teen cables across the Atlantic. 1t
was 54 years ago that the public had
the first opportunity to test the cura-
tive powers of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, n as proof of its wonderful
success we only need point to the UNI
equalled record of cures of stomach,
liver, kidney and bowel complaints to
its credit. Today it is more popular
than ever because more people are
being convinced that it can cure them
of sick headache, bloating, heartburn,
