PRECEPT AND PRACTICE

The government is preaching con-
serVation and economy to the people,
ana should set example. The bill to
pay raw recruits a hundred dollars a
month while in training would be an
act or riotous extravaganza, if pass
ed. 1t should not pass. The failure to
put into effect rigid prohibition mea-
sures forbidding the use of grain by
distilleries is another gap which has
not been covered, and the govern
ment has the authority to cover it.
The government should be consistent.
England has made the great mistake
of permitting the use of grain for
the making of drink, and now Eng
land is on the verge of grain famine.
Is the United States going to make
the same mistake?

Should Be Nipped In The Bud

Rheumatism in its early stages may
delude you into believing that it is a
disease of a purely local and tempo
rary nature. Beyond a Slight numb
ness Of the limbs and pains in the
joints or back, there may be no out
ward indications of it, but if you do
not heed these warnings, or if you
rely upon liniments to cure you, it will
grow rapidly worse until you have
Rheumatism in it's most violent form.
These symptoms, mild in the begin
ming but growing steadily worse, indi-
cate that your blood is impregnated
The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1912-1984, 1917-06-01

with Uric Acid, which, if not eradi-
Gated, will contaminate your entire
system. The results will be racking
pains in the joints, muscles and limbs,
chronic stomach troubles and a slug
gish liver.
The only relief is in the restoration
OF the blood to its normal, vigorous
condition, which can be accomplished
by taking S. S. s., the unfailing
remedy for rheumatic troubles. Our
