DO YOU HAVE
RHEUMATISM?
And Are You Satisfied With the Treat
ment You Have Had?
If Not, Read This Evidence and Learn
How You Can Cure Yourself.

The latest scientific works state that
the ordinary medical treatments Of
rheumatism are still far from satisfac-
tory. For this reason sufferers from
success which DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have had in curing this painful disease
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
hundreds of eases, and are the most
direct treatment of rheumatism, be-
cause they drive its poisons out of the
blood. That rheumatism is a disease
of the blood is shown by the fact that
it is hereditary in certain families, and
that there is marked thinning of the
blood Immediately following it's attack.

A Fortunate Mishap,

In a certain New England town they
manufacture a well-knOwn kind of
towel, most efficient for drying pur-
poses. How that towel first happened
to be made in the form which has
proved so profitable to it's makers is
the subject of an amusing legend. 1t
savors strongly of belonging to the
'too good to be true" genus of anec-
dotes, and is as follows:
Once the machinery in the towel
factory, busily engaged in turning out
a very conventional brand of towel,
suddenly went wrong and began, pTaC.
tically, to go backward. There was
much excitement. Eventually the ma
chinery was chastised and set to
rights again.
Butt was discovered that the
towels turned out during that interval
Of mechanical anarchy we're of a
texture quite unTivaled for use as
bath towels. At once the machinery
was set going backward again, and
has been travelling in that direction
ever since, to the great delight of the
stockholders in the towel company. D..

To Stop Couuhinq,

Coughing is one of the nuisances
that no one has been able to abolish
in churches or in theaters A ply
sician, however, claims that the
coughing nuisance is a mere question
of acoustics.
There is a subtle connection be-
tween the ear and the throat" he
said. when the ear is strained the
throat is affected and a cough is the
result.
when we can hear perfectly in
church or theater it never occurs to
US to cough. But when we bend for
ward, straining every nerve to catch
the actors or preachers muf1ed syl-
tables, then we find ourselves cough
ing every little while. Build audi
toriums with perfect acoustic proper
ties, and I warrant that the thunder
Gus choruses of coughs, so common
now among US, will be no more

WEALTH FOR WEALTH'S SAKE.
English Writer Has Sounded a Warn
ing Against the Domination of
Mammon.

Look about you, and sooner or later
you will see some man to whom the
idea Of wealth, as wealth, does not ap-
peal. I advise you to watch this man
closely for he will presently dem
onstrate to you that money dominates
every body except the man who does
not want money. You may meet that
man on your farm, in your village, or
in your legislature. But be sure
that whenever or wherever you meet
him, as soon as it comes to a direct
issue between you his little finger
will be thicker than your loins. You
will go in fear of him; he will not
go in fear of you. You will do what
he wants; he will not do what you
want You will find that you have
no weapon in your armory with which
you can attack him; 10 argument with
which you can appeal to him. What
ever you gain, he will gain more. l
would like you better to be that man,
because from the lower point of view
it doesn't pay to be possessed by the
desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If
more wealth is necessary to you for
purposes not your own, use your left
hand to acquire it, but keep your right
for your proper work in life. If you
employ both arms in that game you
will be in danger of STOPPING; in dan
ger also of losing your sOul-Rudyard

Trouble.

Trouble, in whatever shape it comes,
is a hard discipline. We must always
remember that all that really counts
is the way we bear it. To give in TO
q woe, an Illness, poverty, heart-sick-
ness, loneliness, loss, is to aggravate
it.
To hope for better things, to strive
womanfully for courage, to seek dis
traction and turn a happy face to the
world is to build a better future, oft
entimes on the very ruins of the dis
aster that now looms so large.

How America Is Growing

Some idea of the wonderful growth of commerce and traffic in this country may be gleaned from a carefully prepared article in a recent number of the Manufactur- ers' Record. An excerpt places it before the public in figures and those figures are rich in inspira ton. The writer points out that with 54 per cent of the worlds pop ulation, we have 40 per cent of the worlds mileage. and our traffic is growing so rapidly that we need to double our entire railroad facilities within the next ten or fifteen years. Our population increases at the rate of about 2 per cent year.
 On the present basis of S7 100000 this would give us 17,OOO GOO to 18.0OO, 900 more people in the next ten years and something over 10000, 900 in the following decade. This will give us over 125.OO,000 by 1880 and 15O,0O0,OOO people by 1940. In thirty years our pop ulation will be about 70 per cent larger than it is today, not by vir- tue of the increasing power of transportation on land and sea, the use of the telephone and telegraph which are among the greatest agents that ever came into exist ence for accelerating business and adding to mans productive ca pacity-the 70 per cent of increase in population will have a far greater potentiality than the total population of today.

ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA

The hunters of Jig game in Af- rica will go by train from Mombasa to Nairobi, 327 miles up the line. From here the real start into the interior nowadays is usually made. He will previously have secured hunters license, costing $50, or $25O, without which no one is per- mitted to hunt what is known as royal game. The elephant hippo. pota mus, buffalo, rhinoceros, eland, giraffe, zebra, impalla, and ostrich comes under this head; and even with license only limited num- Der may be killed.
 For the first twenty-five or thirty miles a stern and wary eye must be kept upon the native porters. In. evitably there will be assertions, SO that some times an expedition is sadly depleted. There are willy ones who make a practice of enlist ing with the outfit to obtain the one months wages that must in. variably be paid in advance, and slipping back to the coast at the first opportunity to repeat their tactics elsewhere. Thirty portera to each white in the party is the usual number employed, and sixty pounds per man is the regulation load, which must not be exceeded i; but where forced marches are con- templated for any reason, it is far better to reduce the load to fifty or fifty-five pounds, and take along more men.
 But thuugh so large a number of men is required: the cost, after all, IS not so staggering as You may think The pay for porters, under ordinary conditions, ranges from 1850 ,n $5 50 a month, with an extra allowance of from $1 to $2 .or food. Gun bearers and caravan headmen, of course, draw higher wages, the headmen getting from SIP to $15 a month if he be a Swahill, and nearly double that amount if he be Somali. Cheap ness in this respect is a poor econ omy; the Somali is the highest type of native in British East Africa, and while the Swahill is competent to do, he by no means approaches the other in courage and efficiency.
