SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing infam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla today.
Sold by all druggists.

Don't Let the
Christmas
Shopping
Dollar Go Out
Of Town

ITS as plain as pikestaff that the dollar
you take out Of town seldom comes
back. II you spend your dollar in town
1t stays here. It circulates in the commu-
nifty. It is living thing. The dollar goes
to the butcher, the baker. 1t goes to the
printer. The local merchant with whom
you spend it pays it out in wages. It makes
for the individual well being. II makes for
the community we'll being.
Therefore circulate your Christmas dol.
lars in town. Be community builder. It
might be we'll to emphasize the fact that you
cannot Dc any better out of town than you
can right here with our local merchants.
With that fact confronting you, why
hesitate about spending your Christmas dol
lars with the home merchants?| The local
merchants are progressive and part of the
community in which you live and in which
you are vitality interested. They'll give you
value received for every dollar you spend.
Besides, they'll circulate that dollar of
yours in town. 1t will stay here. If you
take it out Of town you are injuring the
community. You are injuring your neigh.
Dor. You are injuring yourself.
Circulate your dollar here.
Do your Christmas shopping in the home
stores.

HOSPITAL BarQes,

Northern France is rich in water.
ways, and hospital barges are already
running between Paris and the battle
front, under the auspices of the Union
des Femmes de France. The hold is
enameled white and fitted with AZ
beds, and at the end is the nurses
retiring-room. The barge-master's
cabin is converted into a living-room
for two surgeons. There is an ope-at-
ing-room, too, with washing gear, an
electric plant, and a perfect system of
heating. To convert a Seine barge
into a gondola of this kind costs q
bare $500, and the results are beyond
praise-especially to fracture cases,
to whom the jolting road is agony.
The wounded are hoisted in by
means of small cranes, and the barge
is then towed by steam or motor
yachts lent by wealthy persons. who
are more than glad not only to lend
their boats free of charge, but to navi
gate them in person, thus sharing in
the work of mercy.

Recently William Melvin, or "Medi-
cine Bill" as he was known in the
middle West, had to have his hair cut
before beginning an i~ndeterminate
sentence at the Ohio p~enitentiary
after a conviction under the Mann
white slave act. Melvin cried as the
prison barber shipped his locks, which
hung down to his shoulders.

But a Sing Sing convict a few years
ago established a hair record th:t beat
this. His blond locks reached fully
to his waist line. He had never had
his hair cut since his birth. He ex-
pressed no regret over the loss of his
locks, being oddly confident that he
could grow another stock of hair in
short order.

The missile is designed for use in

The Old and the New.

Inventions have a remarkable knack
of repeating themselves. Among the
more interesting patents for 1914 is
a specification for a wheelless motor
car, propulsion being by means of
skids, which are alternately lowered
and raised. In the early days of loco
motive history many inventors did not
believe that sufficient adhesion, was
to be attained by a smooth wheel
operating or a smooth rail, and weird
and wonderful were the devices for
overcoming this supposed defect. One
ingenious engineer went so far as to
design a continuance in which jointed
metal bars worked up and down on
the rails after the fashion of a horses
legs, and there seems to be a certain
affinity between this device and the
motor car referred to above.

The Due de fremont had been often

Some of his forefathers had fought
and fallen in Agincourt. They b ad

something distinctly noble in the
blond young man, and Julia discov-

from the first.
From the moment that the old Ouch.
