Rheumatism in Ankles
One Bottle of Rheuma Relieved
Woman Who Could Not Walk.


Marvellous as this story may seem, it
is absolutely true; but this is only one OF
the many almost magical cures that
Rheuma is performing these days. Use OF
one bottle will convince any sufferer.
Mrs. Gertrude Kozei, Smithfeld, Pa,
writes: II had rheumatism for over a
year; it settled in my ankles and could
not walk. l have taken one bottle of
Rheuma and do not have any more pain,
and can again walk at will.
q. A. Parcher and all druggists sell
Rheuma for 80 cents. 1t is guara 1teed to
cure any case of any kind OF rheumatism
or money back.
Gratifying relief comes in a day, be-
cause Rheuma acts at one time on the
kidneys, stomach, liver and blood. and
starts to rid the entire system OF poison

number of wells and privies, and a poorly supported and weak health de- partment. Certain parts of the city, notably the wards east of Tenth street, have excessively high rates of mortal ity from preventable causes, and 1t Is in these districts that sanitary condi- tions are specially bad. The plain fact is that people are dying in parts of the city because they are ignorant, because they are poor, because they are sur rounded by inferior sanitary conditions and because the city does not give them q proper health department service.
 What Is needed at once to meet Springfeld's public health problem is fairly obvious. The walls and prlvies should be done away with, and the city should perfect its water supply and sewerage and make the mains of both systems available. to Sll. The city should also see to 1t that the benefits of such improvements are de- nied no one simply because he is too poor to afford them This is to the advantage both of the individual and of the whole department, to overcome popular ignorance with regard to sani- tary matters. Finally, the city should provide its health department with proper equipment in the way of staff and funds, so that the department may adequately cope with the various ad- ministrative phases of the needed pre- ventiye work.
 Tt can also be said here that the in- vestment in the health department will probably, dollar for dollar, save more lives than will the investments for the various sanitary improvements. This is not to say that the other i'm provements, as in the water supply and sewer system, should not be made. It means simply that the health de- pertinent need Is most urgent and should be met first.
 "The whole question of better health in Springfield is in no sense. limited to the realm of theory. It is thorough ly practical matter and is sQuarely up to the citizens and the city administrR- ton. That public health is purchas- able is now a well recognized fact. Springfield has a splendid opportunity to buy-to save 200 or more lives year and to prevent much additional sickness. Realizing that the. safety and welfare of the citizens are inFolv- ed to this extent, there ought to be no question of the city's willingness and determination to find the funds needed.

DANGERS

You Will Do We'll to Heed Them

Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Con- gested kidneys fall behind in fil- tering the poison-laden blood, and backache, headache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow. Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney trouble. Here is an experi- ence told by one who has used them.
 H. W. Bostian, farmer, R. F. D. No. 2, Box 168, Olympia, Wash. says: q strained my back. several years ago and it has been weak ever since. Colds always settle in my kidneys, making the trouble worse. The kidney secretions are irregular in passage at times, obIiging me to get Up at night. Doan's Kidney Pills give me great relief.

 The smile was a telling shot. Arms by couldn't forget 1t. He rubbed his eyes to get rid of it, but 1t would not be downed There was something so unusual in this barefaced. attempt to capture him that 1t began to interest him. Barefaced or not, its very ag- gressiveness captivated him. He had a mind to let the girl have her way just to see what she would do with him. Besides, how was he to live for week by himself7 The first day seemed interminable. What would be the last7 An eternity. Anyway, he would rather stand siege, with the freedom of the house. than shut up in his room.
 So he lowered his flag so far as this was concerned, went downstairs and thereafter took his meals with the oth- CTS.

The Inquisitive Antelope.

An antelope Is as curious as a wo- man. If the hunter will lie down in the grass and wave a red handkerchief a band of antelopes will keep circling around until within reasonable distance for safe shot. After completing a cir cle the antelopes halt suddenly and bring down one fore foot with q vigor- ous stamp on the ground, and at the same instant they make sort of snort that sounds like half whistle. That is the propitious moment for peppering them with rifle balls.-EIchange.

 The next morning .Armsby sent downstairs for the morning paper and sat himself down by his window to read the news. GIanclng up from 1t, there in a hammock swung between two trees was Miss Ellison in a pure white summer costume, q dream of loyeliness. There were no windows in Armsby's room that did not face in that direction, and the only way he could shut out the view was to draw the shade. This he did, but the in- terior of his room soon grew tiresOme, and he raised 1t again.
 He stood looking down on the charmer, trying to conjure up some plan for freeing himself from the siege to which he must be subjected for a week. He was free to spend a portion of each day elsewhere, but he had no friends in the neighborhood, and how can man amuse himself alone7 He began to realize, to speak in com monplace language, that be was in a hole.
 He went down to the library, select. ed a book, returned and sat himself down to read But somehow in spite of all he could do his eyes would wan der from the book and out to the girl in the hammock. Surely 1t was a pleasing picture, so relaxed. The folds of the skirt hung gracefully over the side of the hammock; the point of dainty white slipper peeped beyond a fringe of lace.
 Armsby sent down word to his aunt that he wished his room changed to the other side of the house. After luncheon he went for q walk. but he did not go far-the day was too warm. Returning, he took 6 siesta and, when he awoke, went to the window. There sat or. rather, recllned Miss Ellison on

A SANITARY SURVEY.

Report Telling How Springfield, Ill.,
 Could Lower It's Death Rate.
 The last pages of the Russell Sage foundation report on health conditions in Springfield, H., recently delivered to the Springfield survey committee in the form of a printed pamphlet sums up the situation and tells just what tho city ought to do to save the lives of 200 residents who die needlessly each year from preventable diseases. The sani- tary improvements needed in different parts of the city are discussed, as are the question of cost and relative impor- tance of the various improvements. Increased appropriation for the health department is said to be specially i'm portant. The report concludes:
 "Springfeld has a well defined and clearly localized public health prob lem. It has q combination of serious life wastage from preventable diseases, fairly good sanitary conditions, except for the presence of an extraordinary
