of the hotels make 1t just possible to

AS there are no open fires the only

Curious Result of a Tax.

A curious thing happened when the
English auctioneers were taxed. At
first f5 year, the duty was raised to
f10 by Peel, but he relieved them of
the necessity of taking out license
for beer, spirits, etc., when they sold
these articles at auction The conse,
quence was that everywhere the auc-
tioneers carried on the sale of beer and
spirits for thmselves until the abuse
was stopped In 1864.

There is host of pills, powders, tab
lets and what not for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential toe being
a ma tural medicine To begin with, rheu-
matism is simply name given to desig-
nate a variety of pains, and only be-
reached by irrigating the entire blood sup
ply with naturally asSimilative anti
dote. True, the pains may be eased with
narcotics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being with other acids But
these merely temporize and do not even
lead to a cure There is but one stand
ard rheumatism remedy, and it reflects
the best thought of the day. 1t is pre-
pared in the great Swift Laboratory in
Atlanta, Ca, and sold in all drug stores
under the name of S. S. S. at s1.00 a
bottle
Starvation has been advocated by many
as a cure for rheumatism, and yet S. S. s.
accomplishes in fact what faddists pro-
claim in theory and without the punish
ment of starvation. Hot springs and
sweating are often recommended, but
S. S. S. does all that is expected of these
expensive and weakening methods.
1t is conceded by the closest students
of the subject that rheumatism is caused
in most cases by an acid condition of the
blood and aggravated by the remedies
commonly used for relief In other cases
rheumatism is the result of nerve depreS-
sion; in still others it is the effect of
some scrofulous blood condition. having
been treated with mercury, iodides, arse
mic and other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoverieS of all these types of
rheumatism by the use of s. s. S. is
wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine, for it is as
simulated just as naturally, just as spe-
officially, and just as well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and most
readily digested food Do not fail to
get a bottle of S. S. s. today You will
be astonished at the results. II your
rheumatism is of such a nature that You

IN CUT SLIDES.

Washington. Feb. 21.-More than
100000 cubic yards of earth and rock
are in motion along the Panama canal
and the slides are showing more than
usual activity. This was the infor-
nation received from the canal zone
today. In addition to the slides, which
will involve additional work before the
water is turned into the canal there
still remains about million yards of
excavation before the work is compile
ted.
On about October 1 the water VIII
be turned into the canal bed for by
that time. it will have risen behind the
great dam at Gamboa to a height of
"A feet above sea level. The army en-
gineers are looking forward to the op-
ening of the sluice gates. for it will
give them opportunity then to test the
proof of their assertion that the slides
of earth and rock in the Culebra cut
can be removed cheaply and with little
trouble by means of dredges and that
the slides will present little engineer
ing difficulties.

SCOTT TENDERREARTED

Captain Evans Says.

San Francisco. Feb. 21.--"Captain

day by Captain f. ID. Evans, comman-
der of the Union liner Tahiti, which
arrived from Australia.

-. Pierpont Morgan went for a long
automobile ride today and afterward
spent an hour on the veranda of the
Sheppard hotel where everyone could
see him smoking a big black cigar.
Despite the Indictment weather he did
not wear an overcoat.
The truth about Mr.. Morgan's
health 1 learn from the best sources
is follows: On the journey from
New York Mr.. Morgan suffered from
indigestion which he hoped would dis
appear with the warmth of upper
Egypt. But the weather. was bad and
Mr.. Morgan caught a slight chill. In
the private steamer in which he trav-
eled was DR.. Tribe, of Cairo. who in
the absence of Mr.. Morgans regular
physician, accompanied the party chief
ly to attend Miss Hamilton, Mr.. Nor
gan's grand daughter, who was suffer-
ing from ear trouble.
Mr. Morgan, who intended to go to
the Soudan. having suffered the chill
and seeing that the indigestion was not
disappearing. put himself in DR.. Tribe
hands and on the latter's recommends
ton abandoned the Soudan journey
and returned to Cairo in a special train
on Saturday in order to have the adj
vantage of the comfort of a special
suite of rooms at Sheppards.
Morgan Seriously Ill.
New York. Feb. 21,-Despite the
favorable reports which are being re-
ceived from Cairo concerning Mr.. Nor
gan's condition New York is informed
on reliable authority that the distin-
guished financier is very far from
we'll man and that the statements
which are being issued regarding his
health are unduly optimistic.
This is the view which is taken in
the financial district and it is supported
by private cable dispatches from Cairo
where the opinion is freely expressed
among the members of the American
colony there that there is more in the
reports than meets the eye. and that
the real nature of Mr. Morgan's illness
is being suppressed for stock rigging
purposes.
