CURE YOUR
RHEUMATISM

A Michigan Veteran Tells How
He Was Permanently Cured
of a Severe Case.

Every sufferer from rheumatism wants
to be cured and TO stay cured.
The prospect Of the return OF the same
old rheumatism every year Is not At
tractive TO anybody who has gone
through one siege. Most treatments
aim simply to keep down" the rhen'
matic poisons in the blood. The tonic
treatment with Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
has proved by hundreds OF cures that
il builds up the blood to = point That
enables il TO cast out these poisons
through the regular channels OF sxcre-
ton. the bowels, kidneys and tho SKIN.
When this is done the rheumatism Is per-
manently cured and as long IS the blood
is kept pure and rich the patient will DO
immune from attacks Of rheumatism.

merly postmaster, OF Chaplin. Mich, 10 =
veteran of the Civil war, having served

Court to Get $4,000 Salary.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Reduction
of the corporation tax from two to one
per cent has been agreed by the SEN
ate and house conferees on the bill.
IL has also peen practically determined
that the provisions for the establish.
ment OF a customs court will be re-
tanned in the bill and that the salaries
OF the judges will be fixed at $4,000

recently proposed this figure, but 1t
was reduced to $1,000 during the con-
sheraton Of the bill.
The house conferees are very much
opposed to the duties on lead bullion,
which have been inserted in the SER
ate bill. AS passed by the house the
bullion was taxed 1t ia cents per
pound and the senate increased this
rate to rs cents a-peHHd.- AS re.
guilt OF this, the house conferees have

been passed over. IL is understood
