RHEUMATISM IS
A BLOOD DISEASE
By Keeping Blood in Good Condi-
tion Disease May Be Averted.
Avoid Patent" Remedies Contain
ing Too Much Alcohol.

Only by keeping the blood in a pure,
heaIthful condition can we hope to
avoid the ravages Of rheumatism.
This condition may be acquired
through the medium of iron taken
into the system, in sufficient quantity
to overcome the impurities already
contained in the blood. Most iron
preparations contain too little iron
to be effective unless taken in very
large quantities. Many of these
preparations also contain from 10 to
$3.50 alcohol, and alcohol is detri-
mental to the system. 1t should be
taken only upon the specific pre-
scription of skilled physician.
Acid Iron Mineral (natural iron)
does not contain any alcohol or
other harmful, habit-forming drug.
In addition to iron Aim contains
magnesium. sodium, calcium and
potassium, medicinal properties
that your doctor will tell you are
very beneficial to the general
health.
Acid Iron Mineral is obtained
from the only natural medicinal
iron mineral deposit of its kind
known to the world, and is bottled
only after. being concentrated and
tested in the laboratories of the
Ferrodine Chemical Corp, at Roam
oke. Virginia. A half teaspoonful in
a glass of water after meals is a
dose; a fifty-cent bottle diluted in
four gallons of ordinary drinking
water makes an ideal mineral

suffering with rheumatism, or may
be taken a half teaspoonful in
water after meals.

DOUBTED BY Police
Say Nesress Is Trying to Save Hus-
band Who Slew Girl.

No credit is placed by the police
in an alleged confession made yester-
day by Bertha b. Shines, colored, a
prisoner at the District Jail. The
Shines woman is held as a material
witness in the murder case of Ell
eanor Taylor. colored, her niece, who
was murdered in an isolated spot in
the woods in the northeast near the
Maryland line, May last, for which
Joseph Y. Young, colored, common
law husband of the Shines woman is
charged and held.
The woman says she murdered the
girl. Young, when arrested confessed
the crime, the police say, giving the
minutest details of how he induced
the girl to go to the isolated place.
how he killed her, and showed the
police whore he had thrown the knife
with which the deed had been commit
ted. The confession of the woman
was made to John Roberts, coIored,
a missionary worker among the pris-
oners.
The woman says that knowing that
Eleanor Taylor, her niece, was to
meet Young she attired herself in a
suit of Young's clothes, and went to
the meeting place, and when the Tay-
lor girl came she killed her and waited
two hours for Young and when he
came she attempted to murder him
The police say that the woman's con-
fession is due to her love for Young
whose life she hopes to save by the
confession.

This marrying game is a right funny
thing,
If you'll stop to figure it down.
The bride at the time she is getting
the ring
Has two girls to hold up her gown.
But the gent in the case comes
straight down the aisle,
He's shy as to any kind lenders
Of help in regard to holding his
clothes;
That's left to a pair of suspenders.

They do, not because IL is a fad,

greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visable to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of cur
friends say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at cost
of about three cents a shampoo by
getting some canthrox from your
druggist, and dissolving a teaspoon
full in cup of hot water. This makes

YOUR WEDDING DAY

And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shared Ii.

Charlotte de LenRefeldt.
Johann Schiller. one of the greatest OF
German men of letters, was married one
hundred and twenty-seven years ago to-
day when he was 81 years OF age. The
courtship was a short one but the mar
riage proved to be happy At Rudolstadt
he had met Madame de Lengcfeldt with
two pretty daughters. The youngest one.
Chorlotte. especially attracted the young
poet by her simple. pious and loving
nature. She also possessed the faculty
known by the French as ia faCulte de
comprendre un hOmme de genie" the
ability to understand a man of genius.
which is quite a different proposition
from being a person OF genius.
By her tender care of her husband she
prolonged his life for fifteen years, for
even at the time of his marriage Schiller
was all but an invalid. No doubt he
owed much to her and the world in turn
owes a tribute to her for her devotion
to this great man.
Schiller entered his marriage with this
pious and pretty woman with confidence
of his future happiness.
Life is quite a different thing" he
wrote to friend shortly after the mar
riage," by the side OF a beloved wife
than SO forsaken and alone-even in the
summer. Beautiful nature-I now for the
first time fully enjoy it, live in it. The
world-old feelings are again awakening

me. . . My existence is settled in har-
monious compOsure, not strained and i'm
passioned but peaceful and calm. . . O..
From the future l expect everything. A
few years and I shall live in the full
enjoyment of my spirit, nay, l think
my very youth will be renewed. An in
ward poetic eye will be given me again A."
