If you suffer from rheumatism in
any of its forms, your first step
towards health must be to purify
your blood. Start now taking
S. s. s. according to directions.
Our laboratory is the best equip
ped of its kind in the world. We
have facilities for extracting the
qualities from herbs
and roots and ageing them---pos-
sessed by no other concern.
S.S.S. is not a drug---it is pure
ly vegetable. 1t is Natures own
remedy---the blood purifying
properties extracted from ma
tive roots and herbs.
S.S.S. has been known for half
a century as a blood purifier,
and for diseases arising from
impurities in the blood. Drug
gists all over the Country carry
it in stock---or can get it for you
with out delay.
Don't be satisfied with anything
but the genuine.

YOU MUST GO BACK OF
The PAIN AND CURE
THE CAUSE OF
IT FIRST

The CAUSE OF
IT FIRST.
Rheumatism is not just a local
soreness. The pain in the muscle
or joint is merely a symptom
the cause is much deeper.
Rubbing the sore spot with oils
or liniments brings a certain
amount of temporary relief, but
the disease is still in the system
land the pain will come back
again.
Rheumatism is poison in the
blood. That poison must be re-
moved before the disease can be
cured.
The wonderful successes attend
ing the use of s. s. s. in cases of
rheumatism are due to the fact
that s. s. s. goes right to the
s0urce of the trouble.
It acts directly on the blood
purifies the blood and removes
the poison that is the cause of
rheumatism.

GARRISON BEGINS TO
CHARGES IN
LANGHORNE CASE
Popular Officer Is Accused Of
Bearing Papers From Berlin
to Embassy Here.

Secretary OF War Garrison today be-
gan an investigation of the charges
that Major George T. Langhorne. one
of the most popular army officers, acted
as a bearer of communications from
German army officers in Berlin to Cap
tains Won Papen and Boy-Ed, the re-
called military and naval attaches OF
the German embassy in Washington.
Thus far, Secretary Garrison has only
the newspaper reports from London
quoting extracts from the corre-
spcndence taken from Won Papen on
his way back to Germany. These en-
tracts, taken from letters sent to Won
Paren by Captain Herswarth. of the
German general staff. express the hope
that Won Papen received the communt-
cation forwarded to him by Major
Langhorne.
Nature of Document.
Secretary Garrison is unable as yet to
determine whether Major Langhorne
committed a breach of military reguia-
tions or military ethics. He declared
this morning that If the letters carried
by Langhorne were purely personal ne
will be inclined to take no action: II.
however, he said, 1t Is shown that the
through the British lines he might be
liable not only to rt-martiai put to
civil prosecution for violation OF the
American neutrality laws.
The Secretary indicated that he Woulo
probably ask of the State Department
for permission to examine the oincla'
copies OF the Won Papen Correspondence
Major Langhorne is now at ~ Fas.
with the Fifth Cavalry. AT the tline G., o.
the outbreak of the war he was mil
tary attache at the United states en-
tassy in Berlin, where he was extreme
Ily popular and was favored with the
personal friendship of the Kaiser.
Denied Authorship.
Shortly after the war started
articles commenting on tn" efficiency
of the German forces and signed with
Langhornes name began to appear IL
public in this country After all Amer
lean officers with the German army hau
been recalled. he denied authorship oil
the articles in question.
Lieut. Col. Joseph r. Kuhn subse'
quently was sent to Germany to sue

years old, and was born In Kentucky
His father, the late Col. Carey Lang
horne, was resident OF Washington
until his death. A sister married Capt
Powell Clayton, aide to the chief OF

Major Ianghorne was appointed tc

OF the international Harvester com

That West Virginia lacked 1872 per

enough agricultural produce for the
consumption of its own people, was
one striking assertion, and he further
emphasized the fact that IL there was
