Wintry Weather Foretells
Much Suffering Ahead for.
the Afflicted.

The little pain demons which cause
Rheumatism seem to lie dormant in
mild weather, but with the first re-
turn Of the raw, wintry blasts they
break out with renewed fury, and
start forth on their joyful tour of
torture.
Then you remember how the dis
ease first attacked you. The little
pains seemed very slight at first, for
Rheumatism is an insidious disease,
and creeps up on its victim unawares.
You hardly noticed the little witch
ing pains, for they barely attracted
your attention. But they began to be-
come more frequent, and just little
bit more painful and annoying each
day.
And then, before you hardly real
lied il, you found yourself almost
bound hand and foot in the grasp of
fene Of the most disabling diseases
that afiicts mankind, full-fedged
victim of rheumatism, with its aches

panion.

ton with you is how to shake loose

Become More Severe Each Day

mons that cause you so much suffer-
ing. Your experience has proven to
you that no real permanent benefit
can be expected from the use Of lini-
ments and lotions, for, try as you
will, you will never be able to rub
the pain away. No externally applied
remedy can stop such sharp shooting
pains, for they must be reached at
their source.
Many forms Of Rheumatism oriei-
nate in disordered state of the
blood, and the logical method Of
treatment is one that thoroughly
purifes the blood and cleanses it of
all foreign substances that have in
fected it. Some very obstinate and
painful cases Of Rheumatism have
yielded to S. S. S., the great veget-
able blood purifier, and no case
should be considered incurable, just
because it is not reached by local
remedies applied to the surface.
You should give S. S. S. a thorough
trial, and if your Rheumatism comes
from disordered state of the blood,
you viii be delighted with the results,
and soon find yourself on the way
back to health. Go to your drug store
and get a bottle Of S. S. s. today,
and begin at once on this splendid
treatment. If you wish any medical
advice, you can obtain same without
cost by writing to Medical Director,

beet sugar growers already are pre-

response to patriotic pleas from Fed

production. 1t is estimated
that 100000 acres will be harvested

Use of the Automobile in War.

Among the extravagances t hat the American
people going to be called upon curb and
than many expect is that connected with the use of
the automobile. The and more generally it
is done voluntarily the longer will the day of re-
strctive action by the government be deferred.
That there is legitimate use for the auto none
will question Neither any deny that it is
being exceeded in every community. Thousands
of miles reeled off daily and nightly that add
nothing material resources and serve no other
ends that might not be attained in less expensive
ways
War has altered the status of the automobile and
many other things, as well. Uses that were justi-
fable in peace against public policy in time Of
war. verybody owes it to his country and to
himself to do and to employ the agencies he pos
that either conserve health promote efficiency as
President Wilson aptly has phrased it. Where the
speeds up necessary work it is valuable help
1t also renders service in relieving congestion on
railroads In general, its use is justified when there
is definite, worth object in view but it is
justified for aimess gadding about merely to see
and to be seen, and TO be on the move. Oftentimes
the street car will serve equally well, and in not
few where fresh air and health are a consd-
GRAFTON walking would return much greater benefits
Americans have been trained to consider them
selves entitled whatever they have the money to
pay for are able to get on credit The time has
when they to learn the fallacy of that view
The government has shown how it looks upon the
pleasure by limiting production. This was done
not much to money that would be expended
for it to release material and workmen for more
essential lines of manufacturing. Whatever restric-
tive measures adopted in regard to use will be
made principally with the same end in view
There is likely to be a serious rubber shortage
before many months. There is still gasoline enough
to go round, but nobody can guarantee that this
condition will hold indefinitely. There is press
ing and immediate demand for the services of all
the mechanics and others who can be spared from
automobile manufacture, distribution repair and
maintenance. The time may come when most OF the
rubber and fuel will be required for commercial
trucks and for the business of war.
The wasteful are now the sooner
great many owners will have to put their cars in
storage for the period of the war.
