RHEUMATISM.
 CAN NOT BE CURED
By Rubbing With Liniments
 and Ornaments

If you are one of the many thousand victims of torturing Rheumatism, make up your mind today that you will abon- don your efforts to rub the dis ease away with liniments, To- tions, ointments and local ap- plications. Such treatment by itself is not only futile and de- void of results, but is a waste of time, during which the dis ease is getting a firmer hold on your system.
 Rheumatism is a stubborn disease. It is not on the sur face, therefore you must not ex- pect to be able to cure it with remedies applied to the sur face. No one ever yet effected a permanent cure in this way, so why should you continue to suffer while relying upon treat ment that has failed in thou sands of casesg
 The experience of others af- flicted with Rheumatism is your best guide, and by follow ing their advice you can not only save yourself untold suf- fering, but rid yourself of a disease that will eventually wreck your body and leave you helpless. Almost every victim of Rheumatism has practically the same experience. They are so impressed with the pains and suffering of the disease, and are so anxious to get rid of them that they have treated the pains alone, and overlooked their cause. They have rubbed with liniments, lotions and ointments in an effort to get temporary relief, with no chance of doing themselves any permanent good.
 Such was the experience of Mir. Caspus Bibb, of 2424 Tenth

CONTRACT ID BE LEI FOR BUILDING
 28 SUBMARINES
Bids Are Opened by Navy Department and Figures Are Found to Be
 Satisfactory

Washington, April 13Contracts for
 construction of 2soO-ton seagoing sub
 marines probably will be awarded by Secretary Daniels before the close of the week. Bids opened at the navy depart
 ment today carried proposals for S4 ves-
 sels. Congress has authorized only B, however, and 10 have already been as signed to the navy yard at Portsmouth, N. H..
 Some of today's offers exceeding the authorized cost limit of $19O0,O00 per ship may be accepted because they fix the time of construction at several months below that of other proposals. To cover the additional cost it would be possible to draw on the emergency fund provided for speeding up construction or the cost plus percentage of profit scheme may be invoked.
 The Electric Boat company proposed to build IS submarines in from Is to 26 months at $1.524,000 for Atlantic coast construction and s1,592,Oo0 for Pacific coast construction. The limit of cost fixed by Congress-$1. 300, 00,0Oo-apparently excludes these proposals
 The company proposed as an alterna- tive to construct the submarines on a cost plus b per cent pforlt pasls. The California Shipbuiding company of Long Beach, Cal. and the, Lake Torpedo boat company of Bridgeport, Conn.,, pro- posed to build from four to eight sub marines each in from "A to 32 months, at from $1, ,2SS, ,0O0 to $l, 900, depending upon design. The cost plus percentage of profit plan was also proposed and the Lake company offered to license the gov ernment to construct on it's plans for s1Oo per net ton submerged displacement. Snyder & Co.,, a French concern, pro- posed to license the government to build under its plans at a rate of s65, 900 for the first boat and s45,000 for each succeeding vessel, or to license the government to build oil engines under its plan for sub- l marine use at $35O00 for the first engine and S25.ONO for each succeeding engine.

Cleveland, O., April 11.-(Special) )--The Iron Trade Review today says: A spirit of patriotic service has envelop- ed the iron and steel industry. and at this time all other considerations have been subordlnated to it. Buyers as well as sellers rapidly are squaring themselves to the new conditions whereby priority to the government in everything that the industry affords Is given full recognition, and is being accepted with a determina' ton to consolidate most effectively the nations potential power against formid- ible foe.
 Personal as well as corporate service freely is being tendere1, and is being utilized. The ultimate effects on the gen. erai market conditions in steel of the presence of the government as a supreme buyer remain to be clarified by what the future will demand both in tonnage and deliveries. That they will be widely diffused, the past weeks developments indicate. Finished steel conditions gener- ally remain strong with an upward ten dency. Buying has been further limited by. the unwillngness of producers on all sides to accept new business until the government has had an opportunity to express it's wants.

Any physician will tell you that Rheumatism is deep seated blood disease. The pain is not the disease itself, but merely a symptom-nature' s warning to you that you have been attacked. The only intel ligent treatment, therefore, is through the blood; treatment directed toward eliminating the disease germs from the blood. For years nearly all the prescriptions used by the med ical profession were those con- taining iodide of potash or mer- curial substances, but in nearly every case these minerals are more injurious to the system than the disease itself.
 One reason why s. s. s. is so sue cessful in the treatment of Rheuma- tism and other blood disorders is the fact that it is purely vegetable rem edy, being made from roots and herbs gathered direct from the forests. It contains not particle of mineral sub stance, and acts by driving all disease germs from the blood and cleansing it of all impurities. s. s. s. has been on the market for fifty years, and every druggist has sold it ever since he has been in business. It is sold under an absolute guarantee that it is purely vegetable.
 Our medical department is main tained for the benefit of the afflicted, and if you will write fully about your case you will be given complete advice as to the treatment necessary for your individual case, for which no charge is made. Address Swift Specific Co, 93 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga.
