than any other known remedy in the
same length OF time. Three million
bottles sold under an absolute guar
antee to give satisfaction, or money
refunded, and less than a dozen bot
ties returned. Many have testified
that they have suffered with rheuma-
ttsm and lumbago until they had
been forced to give up their work
because they could not use their
limbs Some who could not even
raise their arms above their heads
have been relieved and are now prais-
Ing this wonderful oil that other suf-
ferers may be benefited. No wonder
this great oil treatment has sprung
into such tremendous popularity in so
brief time and is So much praised
today by thousands throughout the
country. For rheumatism. Neuralgia,
Lumbago, stiff and aching joints or
any kind Of an ache or pain il is said
TO be without an equal. For Sore
Throat, Group and TOnsilitis and for
cuts and burns il has been found most
effective This wonderful new oil
remedy that Is producing such re
markable results throughout the
country is now for sale by all leading
druggists Accept no substitute, for
there is nothing like IT, Golden red

SEN. BEN TILLMAN'S
CONDITION SERIOUS:
FAMILY SUMMONED

Serious illness Of Senator Benjamin
r Tillman. veteran Democratic Sen
ator from South Carolina, caused ap-
prehension today among his col
leagues and members Of his family.
Senator Tillman has been stricken
with cerebral hemorrhaEe and paraly-
sis OF the left side. He has been i'll
since Thursday but the gravity OF
his condition did not become known
generally until a bulletin Of his ply
sicions announced the fact
Senator Tiiiman's family has been
summoned. He has been unconscious
much OF the time for the last thirty
six hours. He IS Eeventy-one years
old and as this is his second attack
Of the same nature the outlook is
said by his physicians to be unfav-
Orable
As chairman Of tho Committee on
Naval Affairs. Senator TiIlmau has
been Of much service in the war
emergency. He has been in the Sen
ate for twenty-four years and has
gained a national reputation by his
picturesque oratory. His sharp
tongUed utterances when he FIRST
came to the Senate earned him the
sObriquet Of "Pitchfork," which has
clung TO him ever since.

PATRIOTIC CLERK
BECOMES VICTIM
OF PRACTICAL JOKE

One Of those responsible for the
successful close Of the war savings
stamps drive in Washington was a
certain clerk in one OF the Govern
ment bureaus who today is thrilled
with a combination or patriotism,
fear and relief.
Boosted Stamp Sales
Finding that the stamp sales at a
neiEhborinE bullet booth" had slack
ened, he approached and bought 100
thrift stamps and then announced in
true ballyhoo fashion, that he would
resell the stamps nj fifteen cents
each, standing a personal loss OF ten
cents on each. In an astonishingly
short time, in fact as quickly as he
could hand them out. they were dis
posed OF to bargain seekers. Then
he returned to his desk with the con
sciousness of a patriotic duty well
performed
A few moments later. his desk tele
phone iingled and strange voice in
formed him that he would shortly be
waited upon by a Secret Service
agent with orders to explain why
he had been guilty Of selling Gov
eminent bonds below par, a crime
punishable by minimum fine of
$1,000" With cold beads OF perspira-
tion on his brow, the clerk sought
the advice Of his chief" The latter
listened gravely, then undertook a
private investigation that resulted in
the information that the clerk had
s1#F 81 Of fa1T Ta1r In,
his own bureau who had been
responsible for the telephone mes
sage, and that the "crime of sell
ing Government bonds below par"
was at least not recorded on the
statute books.
