HOME CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM

Do not waste time nor take chances
of becoming a cripple or helpless
sufferer from rheumatism by trying
to-cure the disease with external ap-
plcations alone. Such treatment
sometimes gives relief from the Sc
we're pain. or may reduce the inflam-
nation OF swollen joint or muscle,
but the effect cannot be more than
temporary. Each day the cause is
allowed to remain in the system
Rheumatism gets firmer hold on its
victim. Purify your blood of the in
fammatory uric acid and then YOU
will cure the disease permanently.
The system will respond more quick
ly and surely to S. S. S. than any
other treatment This great blood
purifier possesses the penetrating quail
tiles necessary to drive out every
Srace of urate matter from the circu-
lation and build the blood up to a
nourishing and healthful condition
Only pure blood can overcome Rheu-
matism. and S. S. S. surely creates
pure blood. Thousands have cured
themselves of Rheumatism by using
S. S. s., a medicine made entirely o.
roots. herbs and banks; no harmful
mineral enters into its composition
and S. S. S. is therefore safe fol
anv one to use. Write for our book
ON Rheumatism and ask for any spe'
c;al medical advice. No charge fol
either. S. S. S. is sold at drug stores

PLANS NEW HOME
Hebrew Temple Congregation
Needs Larger Edifice.
OLD BUILDING TO BE SOLD
Seating Capacity Of Twelve Hundred
Found to Be Inadequate.
Board Takes Action.

The erection Of a new and larger temple
by the Washington Hebrew Congregation
has been decided upon by the church
board. and the Eighth Street Temple has
been placed on the market for sale.
The decision to build a new edifice was
reached because of the lack of space In
the old temple to accommodate all who
desire to affiliate with the congregation
D. J. Kaufman. member of the board
said today In reference to the matter:
I'VE are delighted with the attendances
which tested the capacity Of our beauti-
full temple during the last ten services
Although We have a seating capacity OF
over 1000 We were compelled to say
to strangers that every available seat was
occupied. Our concern Is especially acute
because of our inability to find permanent
sittings for fifty to seventy-hve young
married Jewish couples who are anxious
to identify themselves with us actively
but who must be told to be patient.
Rabbi Simon Complimented.
"A keen feeling of satisfaction was the
keynote of our last regular board meet
ing, in reviewing the splendid efforts OF
Rabbi Simon and his co-workers In fact,
we all felt that in point Of attendance
devotion. inspiring music and preaching
We had reached high-water mark.
Something must be done. Our prog
ress, in one way. is Of necessity coming
to a halt We have reached the limit or
our physical or numerical growth, and
We are concerned over 1t. To be alto
gether proud that We cannot advance Is
an invitation to the friend Of stagnation.
We are progressive and will meet this
emergency as fully as We have others.
I'VE built our temple fourteen years
ago with many a misgiving and discour-
agement and under heavy financial sacri-
fees Fourteen years. however, OF
growth, both numerical and financial,
have given us far greater stability with
which to meet our responsibilities. We
are better prepared to build a structure
now than We were fifteen years ago.
You must not forget that In this decade
three-fourths of our Jewish population
of reform tendencies have moved above
u street, and they find our present site
great Inconvenience.
