Rheumatism

More than nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheuma. tism of the muscles, due to cold or damp or chronic rheumatism. In such cases no internal treatment is required. The free application of Chamberlain s Lir. iment is all that is needed, and is cer- tain to give quick relief. Give it 2 trial and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and soreness. The medicines usually given internally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They arc worse than use less in cases of chronic and muscular rheumatism. For sale by all druggists.

OURS IS A NATION OF MOVERS
Americans Change Their Places of Res
 idence for Various Reasons

Until dozen years ago the reason why so many families moved was that they might find place in which to make a living or better living, says William Estabrook Chancellor in the April Dclineator. But in the great and general prosperity of the period that began to draw to close year or two ago, another reason became important to find place in which to spend to the best advantage the income from considerable property.
 Any change in the dollars and cents of life means usually that the family will move. When We get rich. We move. When poverty threatens, we move. When the land on which our house stands rises considerably in value we move in order to invest the profits; and when it falls We move because "the tone of the neighborhood is no longer what it was.
 We move for many other reasons. When We marry, of course we move. Sometimes We marry in order to have a piduSiDie icdSou TUT HlONlHSs anu SOue- times, when our children marry and go away from home, We move "because the old home seems lonely.' Nearly every divorce means that two must move. When the parents die, the chil- dren move As the family grows in number, we move into larger house in order to have more room; and when we can we move into better neigh borhood in order to give the children social advantages. When unwelcome faces appear upon our street, we move; and when our friends move away, we move. When the landlord raises the rent or refuses to make repairs, we move.
 Almost any event is a good enough reason for an American family to move. 1 Some of us own two or three different homes in city, in country and by the sea; and thereby have an assurance of the delight of moving several times a year. And some of us live in hotels or in boarding houses in order to he '' foot free" to come and go as we will

 The hostess beamed on the chiyaI- rous southcrner. Langdon drew forth thick black perfecto and settled back luxuriously in his chair. after another glance at Mrs. Spangler's clock. He was ab- sorbed in a mental resume of his forth coming speech and did not hear the next words of the woman, addressed pointedly to his daughters.
 DO you know, really, why this lunch con was given todayT, she queried. Then she continued before Carolina and Hope Georgia could formulate re- ply.
 Because your father and 1 wanted to take thls opportunity to announce to you-our engagement"
 The speaker smiled her sweetest smile.
 The two girls gazed at each other in uncomfortable amazement then at Mrs. Spangler, then at their father, who had turned partly away from the table and was gazing abstractedly at the ceiling.
 Hope Georgia was the first to regain her voice.
 "Oh. Mrs, Spangler." she calculated. "you are very kind to marry father. but
 Whats that?' exclaimed the sena !. tor, reused from his thoughts by his youngest daughters words and thrust ing himself forward.

MRS. spANGIER GIVES A LUNCHEON. " THEN Senators Peabody and
 NH Stevens had gone Langdon IVY and Bud went over the situa- tion together and concluded that their opponents had no means of defeating Langdon's program-tha after all. Peabody might really have meant his words of surrender. "But they might try foul play. Bet ter stay right here in the capitol the rest of the day" suggested Bud. Langlon scofTed at the idea.
 Haines hustled away to get q few mouthfuls of lunch to fortify himself for busy afternoon--one that was go- ing to be far buster than he imagined.
 The telephone bell rang at the sena- tors desk It was Mrs. Spangler's voice that spoke,
 Senator I.angdon," she said. Caro- lima and Hope Georgia are here at ray home for luncheon, and we all want ycu to join us.'
 'Sorry l cannot accept" answered the Mississ!ppian. but I am to make an important speech this afternoon" ''Oh. yes. l know. The girls and ! are coming to hear it. But you ha"" two hours time. and If you come we can all go over to the senate together New, senator. humor us little. Dc', | disappoint the girls and me.

Mrs. Spangler's luncheons werc equally as popular in Washington as Senator Langdon's dinners. The Mis- sissippian and his daughters enjoyed the delIcacies spread layishiy before them.
 Time passed quickly: Tine old plant CT enjoyed seeing his daughters have so happy time, and he was not insen- sible to the charm of his hostess con- versation, for Mrs. Spangler had studied carefully tue art or ingratiat. ing herself with her guests.
 Suddenly r>ali1ics that hc had proba- bly reached the limit of the time he could spare the senator drew out his watch
 'What stunning fob you wear" :" quickly spoke Mrs. Spanglcr, reaching out her hand and taking the watch from her guests hands as the case snapped open.
 "Oh. that's Carolinas doings," laugh ed Langdon. ''She said the old gold chain that my grandfather left me waS''--
