OF all Oglethorpe's attributes that
which shines forth most from the

MYSTERIES of Rheumatism
Practically Solved
Action in The Tissues Of Remarkable Antidote


rheumatism is often the effect of some
other blood affliction that has left it's i'm
press in the joints, muscles and mucous
coverings of the body. It works into the
tissue cells, those tiny, little bodies in
which nutrition goes on. And it is here
that most remarkable medicine known
as S. S. S. does its most active and most
effective work.
It's action is marvellous Bed-ridden
rheumatics get on their feet as if by
magic. That cold, clammy sensation that
made you hug a red hot stove is gone in
twinkling. That excruciating pain that
made feather lay as heavy as ton of
coal on the skin is gone. You get up and
dance with glee.
Your rheumatism Is gone-absolutely!

ADJUSTMENTS
Primrose and DOckstader

The popular minstrel men, George Prim-
rose and Lew Dockstader, reunited again
after a separation of some years, appeared
at the Jefferson theatre yesterday after
noon and last night with their company.
The performance retains the flavor of old
time minstrelsy, and was we'll received.
There was genuine burnt cork fun that
sustained the best traditions of the art
and delineations of negro character that
were diverting and realistic without being
in the least particular vulgar. Mr.. Prim-
rose, despite his long service on the stage,
is still soft shoe dancer of inimitable
grace and a comedian of ability. Mr..
DoclSstader, who is perhaps the most orig
inal and versatile minstrel man in the
profession, had some new jokes III his
best vein, and his monologue was greatly
enjoyed.
The performance was divided in the
usual way. with first part" devoted to
vocal numbers, jests of the end men and
dancing. The programme was varied and
very pleasing throughout, Mr.. Primrose
scoring with his dances, Mr. Dockstader
and assistants perpetrating some sprightly
quips. Raymond Wylie won enthusiastic
applause for his song numbers. The
songs were not exclusively of the rag
time variety and several grand opera Sc
lections offered an agreeable change from
the usual minstrel programme.
The Six Brown Brothers gave an un-
usually high class and entertaining mus
ical speciality and the -Four Meteors
proved to be unique quartet. Their I'M
itation of brass band in a country town
was one of the most enjoyable features
OF the performance
The afterpiece consisted of series of
typical southern scenes with happy
darkies singing and dancing. One setting.
that of a levee with big steamboat in
the immediate background. was replete
with suggestions of Dixieand.

RABIES PREVALENT

THAT rabies among the dogs of Birming-

Gated in correspondence which Dr. A. III.
French made public yesterday. DIR.

lows:
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
1 herewith hand you two letters from
the state board of health, Montgomery,
Ala.
The letter Of the 7th covers findings in
the head of a bull dog. The owner of the
dog lives in West End. this city That
of the 14th refers to the head of dog
from South Highlands.
My letter files wilL.show that there is
seldom a week passes that do not send
the head of dog, cat or COW to the
diagnosis OF having had rabies Dr. Moss
letter OF the 14th inst. should cause city
and county officials to give this matter
their Immediate attention. Muzzling for
three or four months is only misleading,
as also the general opinion that there is
little or no danger except during the hot
| months. Statistics show that the ex-
treme of heat or cold has no influence
over the disease
When any person is bitten by a raoid
animal the wound should be promptly
and thoroughly cauterized with nitric
acid. The animal inficting the wound
should not be killed, unless 1t is impossl-
BILE to secure and confine 1t. In the early
stages Of rabies an animal is usually do
cile and may be secured and confined
without danger. Should he be killed in
the first days of the disease it is often
impossible TO make diagnosis without
animal incubation, with consequent de-
lay of some two weeks, while il he he
kept under observation he will die in the
course Of three to seven days with tbs

STAGE IS REBUILT
FOR BEN HUR SHOW
Production Next Month on
Much More Elaborate
Scale Than Ever

Klaw q Erlanger are making the pres
est success, the production of General
Lew Wallace's immortal drama, Ben
Hur." Fourteen years have been rounded
out since the curtain first rose on this
stage version of the great Wallace book,
years that have yielded a mighty fortune
to the producers and others connected with
the presentation of the play. To make
the present season memorable, the inter-
national production which was used at the
Drury Lane theatre, London, and the
New Amsterdam theatre, New York, and
which is scheduled to serve for the pres
entation of the play at the municipal the
atre, San francisco, as the pre-eminent
Offering of the Panama Pacific worlds
fair in 1916 has been sent on tour and will
be shown at the Jefferson theatre Mon
day and Tuesday evenings and Tuesday
matinee, December and o.
The panoplied slories of the Roman
hosts, the aesthetic beauty and luxury OF
the Orient, the stately magnificence of
the Egyptians. are now employed in pre-
senting the story told In Ben Hur."
What in other productions of the play
seemed magnificent pale beside the glories
of the new production. The plan of the
scenes is so large, the number of people
necessary to represent the action of the
story so great, that there are only few
theatres in the United States with stages
large enough to accommodate the inveN
titure and the crowds. Fortunately, the
Jefferson theatre is in that class, hence
the booking.
Edward G. Cooke, general agent for
Klaw a Erlanger arrived in the city yes
terday to superintend the arrangements
for the production and during the day was
busily engaged with the working force of
the Jefferson theatre outlining plans FOR
the handling of the equipment. Mr.. Cooke
said:
For the original presentation of Ben
Hur' on the Jefferson stage we recon-
structsd 1t from cellar to rigging loft but
the massiyeness of the international pro-
duetion compels considerable extra work
Ten miles of new rope must be inserted
in the rigging loft to handle the scenery.
Previously we only employed eight horses
in the chariot race. This season we show
II driven in three quadruple teams. This
requires the construction of a new sub /
stage The tread mills are set on the
second stage and 1t the race Is run.
This arrangement removes an enormous
weight from the stage proper, also a great
amount of mechanical effects, and per-
nlits quicker handling of all scenes.
AN idea of the bigness of the inter-
national production can be CLEANED from
the fact that eight 60-foot baggage cars
are required to transfer the equipment
from one city to another. And two Arms
palace stock cars serve for the horses and
camels employed in the spectacle.
THE travelling company this season
numbers about 200. including a large or
chestra of grand opera musicians under
the direction of Gustav Hinrichs. so long
associated with the late Maurice Grau,
conducting grand opera at the Metropol-
tan opera house, New York.

The people of the state have not per-

Statement of Appeal Cases


In reference to the disposal of the city
appealed cases which were tried in the
first division of the circuit court before
Judge e. C. Grow last week, City At
torney Romaine Boyd issued statement.
1t will be recalled that the entire week
was taken up in the disposal of these
cases, and although over 500 cases were
set for the week, nearly all were disposed
Of Mr. Boyd's statement follows:
Statement OF cases appealed from the
recorders court and disposed of in the
circuit court during the week ending No
vember 10, 1913: Cases tried s, convic-
tions s, acquittals none.
I'm about half of the above cases, in ad-
dition to fines sentences of hard labor on
the streets were also imposed, thereby
refuting the general idea that juries would
not convict or impose street sentences
on white men for violation of the prohi-
bition law, as most of these cases were
prohibition cases, being about three or
four years old.
.'As result of this vigorous and sue
cessfui prosecution of these appeal cases,
defendants in IS cases plead guilty and
took fines of from $40 to SIS and costs.
in 20 cases settlements were made on
similar fines as in the pleas of guilty, and
1is forfeitures were taken against de-
PENDANTS and their sureties.
"A large number of old cases were also
dismissed by the city because of the fact
that witnesses had moved away and We're
absent, or arresting officers could not re-
member the facts in each case after so
long time.
..The weeks work has been unusual
and remarkable, and credit is due the
1uries and the prosecuting attorney
Joseph p Mudd. over a hundred cases
were set each day, which. of course,
greatly hampered the work and made
il Impossible to achieve the results
which would otherwise have been ac-
complished."
