There is a host of pills powders,
tablets ana Mnat-not for rheumatism,
but they ~ lack the Erst. essential to
being a natural Medicine. To begin
with rheumatism is simply a name
given to designate a variety of pains,
and can only be reached by irri-
eating the entire blood supply with a
naturally assimilative antidote. True,
the pains may be eased with mar
cotios or the acidssmay be neutralized
for the time being. But such methods
merely temporize and do not even lead
to a cure There is but one standard
rheumatism remedy, and is sold in all
drug stores under the name of S. S. S.
1t contains only pure vegetable
elements and is absolutely free of mer-
curry iodide of potash or arsenic, and
has proved a wonder for every form
of rheumatism
The recoveries of all types of rheu-
matism by the use of S. S. S. is fine
tribute to the natural efficacy of this
remarkable medicine, for it is assimi-
lated just as naturally, just as specifi-
cally, 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. to-day.
You will be astonished at the results.
If your rheumatism is of such a nature

Loves South Like Sweetheart.

Representative Hobson had declar-

the South possesses the richest soil
in the country. Senator Williams
said that it may not have the richest
soil-in fact, he declared, that Ohio
and Illinois have something on it" in
the line of rich soil. But he was sure
that there can be no question as TO
its being the most beautiful part ct

ideal that marks the difference between
che noble and the ignoble life. My de-
scription of the South would not be
complete if did not say that in 10
other part of the globe are lofty ideals
more firmly fixed than there"
The South is not yet dragged down
by the greed of commercialism, Secre-
tary Bryan said, and has been free
from the spectacle of political benaliJ-
les that have shamed some of the large
cities of the North. Concluding his
tribute to the great leaders of the
South, he said:
THE Southerners are men who,
when they believe a thing is right do
not stop to ask how many stand with
them"
Speaking of the Souths traditional
Indifference to the Moloch of money,
Secretary Bryan said that he hoped
the time would never come when the
dollar would be so large that the vir-
tue of man would become smaller b.

After referring pleasantly to his
winter home in the South he sad
that if he talked much longer he
would make speech. And tnac s

am in what is known as the "reticent
department. 1t is a rather difficult
thing for me, but if you will compare
my present progress in that direction
with what 1 used to be, YOU"
Secretary Bryan did not need to
finish the sentence and left the stage
amid roar of laughter and APP
plause.
Senator Williams speech was large
ly taken up in poking good-natured
fun at Representative Hobson, who
preceded him. Representative Hobson
had spoken feelingly of what the
South had done at the first oppor-
tunity to prove it's loyalty and devo-
ton to the nation. Senator Williams
said that he had not at any time ell
tertained any doubt as to what the
South would do in such an emergency.
He said he had known it from the
time he was so high"
Referring to what he termed the
"disunion period" of the South, he
said:
Il believe that in the providence of
God whatever comes and stays come
is somehow right. The North had
more soldiers and more money, and
the result was we got pretty badly
licked, but we didn't lose any cause
at that. All We were fighting for was
the supremacy of the white race, and
it never was more secure than it is
today"
The senator regretted that the
South is still afflicted with the same
old race problem. First it was in the
nature of slave problem, he said
next, it was the problem of negro citi
/ zenship and now it is the problem .:
the nondescript negro. He confessed
that he is not exactly sure as to what
the last-named problem is, but ex-
pressed the firm conviction that the
South will be able to cope with it,
Loves South Like Sweetheart.
