For Sentencing Him

Inc unusual sight of a prisoner at
tempting to tip judge for sentencing
him to term in the workhouse pre-
sented itself in the District branch of
the Police Court yesterday. when Thoma.
Evans. convicted of vagrancy, drew
forth his last scent piece and. showing
II on the bench. exclaimed: There yoI,
are. Judge, have a cigar on me-"
Judge Peele bade the man put the
money back In his pocket. informing
him that he might need it before he
had finished his thirty-day time. Evan.
was arrested for begging on the street.
When the court ordered him to Occo-

the United States Jail instead. It was
on the courts promise to intercede ard
have him sent to the jail that Evans

from a hollow between two hummocks

Besides. it was possible that that man

Rheumatic Blood

Cure for Dreaded Ar

| There is host of pills, powders, tab

they all lack the first essential to being
a natural medicine. To begin with. rheu-
matism is simply name given to deslg-
nate a variety of pains, and can only be
reached by irrigating the entire blood sup

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 $1.00 a
| bottle.
| Starvation has been advocated by many
as cure for rheumatism, and yet S. S. 5.
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

been treated with mercury, iodides, arse

rheumatism by the use of S. S. ). is a.
| wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine, for it is as
simulated just as naturally, just as spe-
