Do NOT LOSE HOPE
Rheumatism Is Cured Every Day
by a Treatment That Really
Cleanses the Blood Of the
Rheumatic Pmsons.

Why are there so many failures In
the treatment OF rheumatism7
Why are 80 many sufferers resigned to
q life of pain, despairing OF per-
manent cure?
Because rheumatism defies any treat
ment that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons OF rheumatism
are in the blood and it is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. 1t must be strength
ened and purified. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you can take.
Mrs. Walter Anderson, 81 R. I. D..
Valeda, Kansas, says: "When / was

tism in my limbs, which were terribly

Bull MoOsers viii Run
Behind Taft in Georgia

Atlanta, Oct. Z. Bets are be-
ing offered here even money that
Mr.. Roosevelt will not get as
many votes in Georgia as Presi-
dent Taft.
A few weeks ago the opinion
was strong that Col. Roosevelt
would poll a very strong minority
vote in the November election in
Georgia, but if betting is any in
dication his chances are not
regarded as favorably now as
they were before he came out.
Of course the Bull Moosers
never claimed that they would
carry the state, but now it begins
to appear unlikely that they will
get even as many votes as the
regular old line republicans.
The regulars are pretty well
organized, and the republican
machinery, of which Henry S.
Jackson is the head, is working
to turn out as good vote for the
president as possible.

Beware of Fake Insur
ance Companies

John Copeland. deputy CON-
missioner of insurance, has called
the attention of the farmers of
Georgia to certein so-called fire in
surance companies seeking, by
means of circular letters, to write
insurance on cotton gins through
out the state sat whatever rate
the individual farmers may figure
to be acceptable and right"
These circulars, Mr.. Copeland
points out, are plausibly worded
and apt to deceive. He puts the
farmers on notice that all such
companies seeking business in
that manner are discredited in his
Office, and that none of them is
recognized by the insurance de-
partment of the state as legitimate.
