RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t

proper nourishment Of all joints,
muscles, nerves and bones. If you
have Rheumatism, get the uric acid
out of the blood by taking S. S. S., a
purely vegetable medicine, and enjoy
freedom from its misery. Book on

STEPHEN 3. ELklNS.
s. Senator from West Virginia.

Immediately after the close of the last
session of congress. From there he
was taken to Elkins, w. Va.
His illness at that time was not re-
garded as serious and Mrs. and Miss
Elkins did not deem it necessary to
potpone their trip to Europe. But dur
ing the summer and early fall Senator
Elkins grew steadily worse Expert
physicians failed to diagnose the case
at Elkins and 1t was thought that a
change to Washington might work
some betterment About six weeks
before the opening of the present ses-
sion of congress he was brought here
in a special car from Elkins, accom-
panied by DR.. W. s. Thayer, the fa-
nous physician from Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, and other physi-
clans. The senator, 1t is learned. was
unconscious for several hours before
his death. The attending physicians
declined to speak on the exact cause
of death. The cause has been vari-
ously reported to be mental and pus
in the blood, which was the result of
stomach trouble
DR.. Sewers, who attended Senator
GlAins, announced the cause of death
as septismia. No arrangements for the
funeral have been announced but it
will probably be held at Elkins.
Stephen B. Elkins. popularity known
as the lion Duke OF West Virginia
and one of America richest men, was
born in Berry county, Ohio. Septem-
Der 26, 1S41. When child his father
moved to Missouri, where Steve" ac.
quiied his early education He grad
uated from the University of Missouri
with the class Of 1860 and four years
later he was admitted to the bar
In looking for a new field in which
to hang out his shingle as attorney,
he was attracted to New Mexico and
settled in the territory in 1864. An
opening offered in West Virginia and
he moved with his growing family to
the state with which his name has
since become associated. Elkins had
a prominent behind-the-scenes hand in
the nomination of President Harrison
and in 1891 was made Harrison's sec
rotary of war. Since that time he has
been continually in the public eye and
a re ognized Republican national lead
err
He Uas elected to the senate in 1894
to ST. led Johnson e. Camden and
had no difficulty in securing re-elec-
ton in 1901 and 1907, each time re-
celving the unanimous Republican
vote. His present term in the senate
would have expired March 3. 1918.
Elkins, w. Va, Jan. 6.-Friends OF
Senator Elkins have been informed
that the funeral will take place next
Sunday. The interment will be in
Maplewood Cemetery, not far from the
family home. "Halliehurst"
The cemetery was laid out by Mr.
Elkins and his father-in-law, Casa
way Davis, twenty years ago. Mr..
Elkins's father, Philip ID. Elkins, was
buried there. The special train bear
ing the body of Senator EllSins and
the family is expected here Saturday

Bent and shrouded as she was she
could see quite clearly downward. The
ship was breaking up with inconceiv-
able rapldlty.
Iris heard CHASTITY yell from be-
meath, and an eerie face appeared above
the stairway. 1t was Watts, mad with
fright and drink. He scrambled up. a
pitiable object. A couple Of rats ran
over his body. and as each whisked
across his shoulders and past his cheek
he uttered bloodcurdling yell. A big
wave surged up into the recesses

srenching shower on to the forecastle.

She felt herself clasped In Hozier's

After few breathless seconds she
realized That they were standing on

Some one threw n cork jacket over

obeyed without a word. Indeed, she
seemed to have lost the power OF

A scientific expedition from the State
University of Iowa will arrive in Ho-
nolulu next month en- route to Laysan
Island, where it is to be taken by the
Revenue Service s. s. Thetis, due to
sail for a cruise among the bird islands
on April Is. The expedition from Iowa
will be landed and will spend some
time, probably two or three months, on
Laysan, to be taken off later by the
Thetis on a return voyage.
It is possible that R. K. BONNIE, the
local photographer and moving picture
expert, will accompany the party, hav-
ing received tempting offer from the
United States Biological Survey to
make the Thetis trip and secure some
moving pictures of the wonderful bird
life to be found within the reserva-
ton. Mr.. Bonine has also heard from
