MAKES RHEUMATIC

New Treatment Drives Out RheumA-

appears and Stiff Joints
Are Linbered.

The remarkable manner in which
the famous Root Juice medicine gets
into the blood, drives out rheumatic
poison, takes out soreness, stops the
pains and limbers up the stiffened
joints and muscles should interest
every sufferer from this stubborn
disease. Mr.. Jas. Simpson, of Cor
dova, ILL.,, says, Il felt the effects in
a short time. All symptoms of
rheumatism left me- Mrs. J.
Schondell, $40 Madison st., Fort
Wayne, Indiana, says. Il was unable
to move. Had to be carried about.
Doctors had failed. Two bottles OF
Root Juice enabled me to walk with
out assistance" Mr. Geo. r. Nc
Cornell, COZ Polk St., Griffin, Ca,
suffered ten years. He said: II am
starting on my second bottle and my
trouble is just about all gone
Root Juice not only drives rheu-
matte poison from the blood, but it
nourishes the stomach, strengthens
the kidneys SO they can properly fl
ter the blood, and builds up the
whole system. 1t creates a fine ap-
petite, stops indigestion, belching,
backaches and puts new life, new
vim and vigor into run down or over
worked bodies. A weeks treatment
will make different person of you.
Don't let anyone talk you into
trying uncertain, hit-or-miss rem
edies. Stop experimenting Go to
some good druggist and get bottle
of the Root Juice compound and be-
gin taking it today with the assur-
ance that it has cured and is curing
the worst cases when doctors, spec
ialists and other medicines failed.
You'll be surprised to see how quick
ly you will feel it's good effects.

ness through which they moved Betty
heard the beating OF her own heart.l

dust of the road. Vague forms that
resolved themselves into trees and

out of the nights black uncertainty,

Hannibal as before, ,and he returned
to his consideration Ut the judge. He
sensed something Of that intellectual
nimbleness which his patrons physical
makeup In nOwise suggested, since
his face was a mask that usually left,
one in doubt as to just how much OF
what he heard succeeded In making
its impression on him; but the boy
knew that Slocum Prices blind side
was a shelterless exposure.

They were entering Raleigh now.
and he ordered the coachman to pull
his horses down to a walk. He had
decided to make use Of the Belle
Plain turnout in creating an atmos-
phere of confidence and trust-espo-
,c1ally trust. To this end he spent
the best part of an hour interviewing
his creditors. 1t amounted almost to
"a mass-meeting Of the adult male pop
lulation, for he had no favorites.
When he invaded virgin territory he
believed In starting the largest pos
sible number of accounts without de-
lay. The advantage of his system, as
he explained it's workings to Mahaffy,
was that It bred noble spirit of emu
lation.
He let 1t be known In a general way
that things were looking up with him;
Just In what quarter he did not
specify, but there he was, seated in
the Belle Plain carriage, and the in
ference was unavoidable that Miss
iMalroy was to recognize his activities
in a substantial manner.

heard of the judges return. He heard
that Charley Norton had left will;
that Thicket Point went to Miss NAL
roy: that the Norton cousins in mid
de Tennessee were going to put up
. fight; that Judge Price had been
retained as counsel by Miss Malroy;
mat he was authorized to begin an
Independent search for Charley Nor
tons murderer, and was to spare no
expense; that Judge Price was going
% pay his debts. Mahaffy grinned at
this and hurried home. He could be-
neve all but the last; that was the
browning touch of unreality.
The judge explained the situation.

man, Solomon; it's the cheapest thing

sively about his. The sound she had
heard might have been only the rust
ling of the wind among the branches
overhead In that shadowy silence, but
Betty's nerves, the placid nerves OF
youth and perfect health, were shat
tered.
Didn't you hear something, Han
nibal?" she whispered fearfully.
For answer Hannibal pointed mys-
teriously, and glancing in the direc-
ton he indicated, Betty saw a woman
advancing along the path toward
them. The look of alarm slowly died
out Of his eyes.
. II think it's the overseer's niece,
she told Hannibal, and they kept on
toward the boat.
The girl came rapidly up the path,
which closely followed the irregular
line of the shore in its wind1ngs.
Once she was seen to stop and glance
back over her shoulder, her attitude
intent and listening, then she hurried
forward again. Just at the boat the
three met.

It Is wonderful in it's richness. and yet wonderful in its simplicity. In way it typifies the cor poration itself and it's work. It typifies, too. the engraving art, the printing art the art of the lithographer, the art oi the pressman. < It is a quaint bit of a museum, too, for 1t has some prieeiess relics.
 It contains, among other things, the first piece of paper money ever made in the world. It contains, too, engravings of day when the graver's tool was not the exquiste instrument of these twen- tieth century times. The carpets. the desks, the chairs, the walls. the desk furnishings, in fact everything about thls room is expressive of the arts and the sciences.
 Of all the relies and al lthe treasures that Mir. Green has in this office, the most prized is a faded sheet, torn from the pay roll of his corporation thirty years ago. There are not many names on the sheet but down at the bottom ap- pears the name ."Green. Not Warren l.. Green, but just Green" and opposite the name Green is the figure s. It is the record of the first entry of the presidents name on the books of the cor poration.
 The name of Warren l.. Green appears today in the directorate of many grea' corporations and many clubs. He has had a wonderfully successful business career. He is only 46. From 8 weei he has climbed to a position where g years salary means a fortune. If any one asks him his business this answel is that he is a printer, or an engraYer He speaks the truth. He is a master printer today and d master engravei and master pressman, too. He studies today as he did years ago to keep abreast of every development in the arts he loves. And if he ever feels bit proud he books up at that bit of faded pay roll of thirty years ago with the name Green, $3' on 1t. That brings him down to earth. And he shows thai faded bit of pay roll now and then tc visitors or to employees who come tt his magnificent office, and he tells tho story of that first day in that old factory in the Bronx.

Rome. December 7.-(Special.)- .)-Nobody ever so much as mentions the "evil eye now in connection with signor Giohtti, Ita1y's famous prime minister. who has just refused the offer of dukedom made to him by his sovereign. Giolitti first took the helm of state in 1S92 and for many years thereafter it was said openly that he was possessed of an "evil eye" and this accusatlon which, in Italy, is about the most deadly that can be made against man or woman, threatened for some years to ruin Giolittfs career as a statesman.
 The glance of a person possessed of the evil eye is supposed, of course, to have the power of dealing death and destruc- ton, and what lent color to the super stition of the Italian premiers case was the quite extraordinary series of catastro- phies amongst the members of Giolitrs early cabinets, no less than sixteen of whom either died or were forced to retire permanently from public life on account of irretrievably bad health. The last and most striking case of the kind was the retirement of Signor Angelo Maiorana the youngest and most promising mem Der of the cabinet formed by Giolittl in 1906, whose state of health became so serious that he had to give up his port folio of minister of the treasury and re- tire to his estate in Sicily for long rest cure
 Such a record of unexplained disaster would have broken any but man of Giolittfs ealibre, but the strong man of Italy," as he is now universally called, could afford to ignore it, and since then the triumph of his statesmanship has disposed forever of the evil eye" myth, so far as he is concerned. Since Septem- Der 2S, 1911, the date of the declaration of war between his country and Turkey the Italian government has been practical lv one 1nan-Giovanni Giolitti. Not in favor of the war at the outset, when once he had embarked upon it he resolved to carry 1t through and he has done so in his own way and at his own time,

The Waste of Armaments

From the London Daily NeWS.
 The annual return of the naval eX-
 penditure of the great powers would
 make a powerful peace sermon if the figures could be driven home to every citizen. These thousand millions are
 so much taken from production and de- voted to waste They help to transfer a corresponding amount of labor from productive work to utter futility. And the only return which the peoples re- eeiye Is a never ending succession of crises They cannot get for all this monstrous sacrifice even the sense Of security. What could the world have done with the 1000 millions, or we With our contribution of S66 millions? A | fraction of the vast sum would have equipped a scientific army for the war against disease Another fraction would have built a barrier against the | economic insecurity which always 1 threatens the happiness of the laboring man. Another fraction would have put
 education and the light and sweetness
 of sound learning within the reach or
 all apt for them. They have gone in-
 stead to convert some of the best of our minds and hands into host of
 economic parasites and to lodge among
 the nations the terror of war and de-
 struction.

New Jersey's Voting Machines

An offer of $10 each for the voting machines owned by the state, for which the state paid s550 apiece, is the high est offer that has been made to the GUS todian of the state house, who was au- thorized by the state house commission to sell the machines. The figure offer cd is the price of junk. If it is accept ed the machines, which cost the state upward of $20o.0o0. will be disposed of for about $S000 If the job by which the machines were bought were not halted in the legislature there would be more than 1900 on the states hands at first cost of $660,000, and the re- ceipts by sale at $10 each would be S12,000. As it is, the state gets out of the job the loser on the original in- vestment by about $197,000 This has made no account of dollars paid for in surance, storage, repairs, transportation and handling.

which the tests were made. Prosser
claimed that the milk sampled was
taken from restaurants where skim

kind of test, as high rs other dairies.
Inspector Casey declared last night
however that the milk taken and

that no separators were used on the
