RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Rem. edy for the Disease Has
 Been Found.

Rheuma. the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Go. and all druggists at 50 cents a bottle. gives quicker and more lasting relief than other remedies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous seeretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural. healthy way
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: T have made a most careful investigation of the for mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma. and heartily recommend it as remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rhematism. and ale together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed.
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence in trying Rheu- ma The Rheuma Co. guarantee it

Though a Tmail poem enumerates
500 ways in which the Palmya palm

Four or five quarts per Iree per day

Once in every three years the sap

MORE COMFORT THAN SAFETY

Shop proprietors do everything pos

as much for the safety of the lives OF
the purchasers is open to question. 1t
is in accord with good business pre-
cepts to have shops well lighted, well
heated or well cooled, in season, easy
rest rooms for weary shoppers. But
in too many stores it is evident that
it is not considered necessary to bust

Of shoppers against fire by flooring
over light wells with wireglass in meta
frames. enclosing elevators and stair

observance of the former, but 1t takes
the law and the rates of insurance to

should have as much consideration as

rHE BONFIRE MENACE

This is the season for bonfires.
Lawns are being raked OF the fallen
leaves. and these are usually burned
on the streets or premises. Every year
a large number of fires are reported
to the Fire Marshal Department as
having been caused by sparks from
bonfires, and each year nearly hfty
women and children are burned to
death by having their clothing ignited
from such fires.
Care should be used not to light fires
near buildings or when the wind is
blowing. and children or incompetent
persons should never be left in charge
of them. Children should not be al
lowed to play around bonfires unless
they are. accompanied and carefully
watched by some persons of mature
age.
