Rheumatic Throat
Is Common Trouble
Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.

There are successful gargles that stop
soreness in the throat but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put in
order The best remedy is s. s. S., as 1t
influences all the functior5 Of the body to
neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through
the proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat IS a dangerous
Indication, as it means that the blood IS
loaded with more uric acid than the KID
neys can excrete, land may thus lead 10
serious general disturbance.
The action Of S, s. S. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation Of
irritants in local spots. 1t enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
blood to replace worn-ort tissue.
For this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking down
influence, is scattered and eliminated. In
other words. S. S. S. prevents chronic con-
ditions by enabling all the mucous Innings
of the body to sccrete healthy mueus. Its
influence is shown in q marked Improve
ment of the bronchial tubes, whereby the
huskiness Of voice with thick, grayish ex-
pectorations Is overcome s. s. s., well
diluted with water means blood bath:
since it is welcome to any stomach ana al
once gets into the blood. e@
S. S. S. is free of all minerals and con-
tains ingredients wonderfully conducive 70
Well-baianced health.
You can get it at any drug store, but DO
not accept anything else. There Is danger
in substitutes. s. S. s. is prepared only by
Atlanta Ga. Our Medical Dept will give
YOU free instruction by mail on any subject

Who Col aStungy?

Here is an incident that a Char
mute man tells as having occurred
IN certain Kansas town. He wa
in the ticket Office and watched the
proceedings.
A man came up to the window
anb asked for a ticket to Kansas
City, 'inquiring the price.
Two twenty-five, said the
agent.
The man dug down into we'll
worn pocketboak and fshed out a
bill. 1t was bank note for so. 1t
was all the money he had.
How soon does this train go?"
he inquired.
In IS minutes, " saidihe agent.
The man hurried away. Soon he
was back with three silver dollars,
with which he bought ticket.
Pardon my curiosity" said the
ticket seller, but how did you get
that money? 1t isn't loan, for I
see YOU have disposed Of the 50
BILL"
mo, ! did moi borrow, f" said the
man. y went to the pawn shop
and soaked the bill for $3.50. Then
as I started back here / met an old
acquaintance to whom | sold the
pawn ticket for $3.50. I then had
SO, and he has the pawn ticket for
which the 50 bill stands security. !"

The Editor And You.

Did you ever stop to consider the
difference between the treatment
accorded you BY the editor and that
you accord him?
If he ghould knock your business
1 through the columns Of bis Iarer,
Or say uncomplimentary things Al
bout you in his paper, you would
nurse a grudge against him to your
grave, and as time rolled by it
would grow in size until you would
find it as hard to hold as a baby
elephant soaked in grease.
Now, is such the case with the
editor? He hears that you have
ridiculed and run down his paper,
that you have told people on the
streets that it could not come to-
your home, and then, you tell him
that his daughter has graduated.
He praises her to the sky, says she
is the pride OF the community, the
smartest thing on earth that her
parents have just cause to be proud
of her. You can mark your paper
refused-stick it back into the post
office and boast Of the fact to your
friends, humiliating him, if you
can, but if your son gets into trou-
bic rather than hurt you feelings he
suppresses everything connected
with the unfortunate case 1t the
risk Of being called a num-skull who
can never get hold Of thenews.
He hears Of your deunciation,
feels the sting Of it all and some
times suffers financial loss as a con-
sequence, butnever uses the columns
Of the paper to get even.
On the other hand you have any
thing to boost he will boost it for
pou; if honor comes to take you, ne
takes local pride in heralding it a.
broad, and if death steals into your
home he will go to the bottom OF
his heart for tender expressions Of
love for the departed and and con-
dolence for ones who are left to
mourn.
You might sometimes think Of
these things while endeavoring to
belittle the editor and his usefulness
in the community. You might put |
a higher polish on your Christian
ity following his example. Hart

Some Record.

The newspaper has made pres
idents and killed poets; made bus
ties for beauties and punished gem
ius with criticism. 1t has curtailed
the power of kings, converted
bankers into paupers and graeed
pantry shelves. It has changed
paupers into college presidents; it
has educated the poor and robbed
the philosopher Of his reason; it
smiles, cries, dies, but it can't be
run to suit everybody, and the man
will go crazy who tries.

Get The Habit.

Study the advertising pages of
your local paper each week. Study

he is able to make good on every
that he makes.
