EVIDENCES OF NATIONAL
 GROWTH,

It may be a little early to concede the number of votes the presidential candidates will receive in the fall, but the bureau of statistics of the United States has figured it out that more than fifteen million persons will record their votes for president in the cam paign of the present year. Prior to 1888, no governmental official record of the votes cast for president existed, but an act of congress in 1887 made it the duty of each state to report to the government According to the ab- stract this will be the first time the vote will go over fifteen million, it having been 14SS7 900 in 1908 and Il, 384,0O0 in 1888. This shows that in 1908 one vote for every 5.98 people, was cast, against 6.10 in 1904, and 5.27 in 1888.
 The statistics further show that the average per capita wealth of the coun- try has grown from $307 in 1850 to over S1,300 in 1904, the money in circulation has increased from SIP per capita in 1850 to S34 in 1911, and the bank clear ings from 52 billion in 1887 to 159 bill lion in 1911. or a triping of the bus mess in 25 years. The individual de- posits in banks were increased from 2 billion in 1875 to practically IS billion in 1911. while the number of bank depositors has increased from a million in 1866 to 1-2 million last year. In an other period will be including the de- positors and deposits in the postal sys- tenn.
 The export of domestic products from 100 million in 1S4O to over 2,0O0 million in 1911. and the increase of the value of manufactures produced ill the country from one billion in 1S.0 10 20 1-2 billion in 1910. are all evidences of the best kind of national growth along a diversity of lines

 If you suffer from torturing rheu- matic pains, swollen, twisted joints, and suffer intensely because your syA- tenn is full of uric acid, that damnablo poison that makes thousands helpless and kills thousands years before their time, then you need RHEUMA, and need it now.
 Start taking it today; in 24 hours it will begin to act on kidneys. liver, stomach and blood, and you can sin cerely exclaim: Good riddance to bad rubbish"
 Many people, the most skeptical of skeptics right in this city and in the country hereabouts, bless the day when The Lee & Osgood Co. with characteristic enterprise offer e d RHEUMA to the afflicted at the low price of 50 cents a bottle. If you nave rheumatism, get RHEUMA to- day.

These belts, which may be made any width or color, are usually crocheted from D. M c. white cotton No. 5, about hank being needed for a belt.

Use a solid crochet stitch or, what is new CT, every third stitch, instead of talk ing the upper stitches as a regular single crochet, go into the heart of the stitch. This makes a more open ef- feet and is not hard to do. Use fine needle and crochet firmly, so the belt does not stretch so much in launder ing.
