GermIess, IceIess
 Ice Water, 2c a Day
How to Supply Your Home, Office, Store, or Factory, All Day Long, With Purest Ice Water for
 q fe a DaM

Drinking water should never touch ice. Germs in ice contaminate the water 1t floats in. Many typhoid and other fever deaths are directly caused by drinking ice water infected by these germs. It will cost you less to have germless, ice- your home, office, store or factory. than to have the ''germy,' fever-contami- mated water drawn from the ordinary water mix d-with-ice cooler.
 In the ordinary water cooler the ice comes in direct contact with the "germy" ice. The ice melts very fast, and before the end of the day the ice is usually melted, the water in the Cooler has turned warm and unfit to drink, the ice has been wasted and more ice fig necessary. This makes the ordinary ice cooler expensive to keep up
 The TJseeit Water Cooler on the other hand, is a marvel in making economical. germless ice water. It requires but a third or a quarter the amount of ice used In the average cooler. The water never comes in contact with the ice, and the water is made ice cold in few seconds Only the water used is cooled. About cents worth of Ice a day will supply ice water all day long for large office force In the home, this cooler can also be used as refrigerator; the ice does not melt as fast as In the av- craze icebox It Is superior and cheaper to keep up than any other water cooler made.
 ''Useeit'' Water Coolers are made in many different patterns and sizes for the home, office, store and factory They are sold at all frst-class hardware deal CTS. If your dealer does not happen to have 'Useeit''> Water Coolers in stock, send us his name and we will send you our illustrated booklet, "Useeit,' free with full information.

TEBBETTS FEELS
 SURE OF HIS PLACE

Anniston, April 2.-(special)--If full and well-rounded optimism, reinforced by free ly expressed satisfaction, amounts to any thing, Capt. w. F. Tebbetts, formerly of this city, but now of Mobile, where he is collector of customs, has a pretty firm grasp on his job.
 Captain Tebbetts was in Anniston Fri day en route home from Washington, where he has been for the past month Investigating the strength of his hold on his position and the force of the move ment which is under way by his op- ponents to dislodge him. When asked about the race for his position, he said:
 'In the true sense of the word there is no race. I am collector and while my term of office expired last month, my ap- pointment holds good until my successor is named, which has not been done I have a good record, backed up by the indorsement of the people of Mobile and I do not intend to resign"
 Captain Tebbetts is aware of the fact that Frank H. Lathrop, who was gen eraHy regarded as the most formidable opponent that he would have. is not in the race, and when asked about the statement of Mr. Lathrop to the effect that he thinks Chief Deputy Marshal Gordon Ashley has a good chance for appointment to the position, the collector said: q am not surprised at that. This Is a free country and any man who chooses to do so can apply for any po sition within the giving of the people,"
 Speaking of the Hundley case, Captain Tebbetts stated that Ne thinks Judge Hundley has been done great injus- tice. He considers that the conference held with the Attorney General and the President yesterday settled Judge Hund- ley's position, either for good or for the bad. He says that the trend of popular sentiment in Washington seems to be in favor of Judge Street, should Judge Hundley lose the fight.

Rheumatic Pains

My mother is a great suf- ferer from rheumatism, and Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only remedy that relieves her."
 MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
 Roycefeld, N. J.
 The pains of rheumatism are almost invariably relieved with Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills. They also overcome that nervous irri- tation which prevents sleep be- cause they soothe the nerves. To chronic suffers they are invalu- able. When taken as directed, they relieve the distress and save the weakening influence of pain, which so frequently pros trates. Many sufferers use them whenever occasion requires with the greatest. satisfaction, why not you? They do not derange the stomach nor create a habit. Why not try them? Get a pack age from your druggist. Take it according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
