THE PANGS OF
RHEUMATISM

everyone who has had the slight
est experience with rheumatism
will continue to suffer and grow
worse until they are finally
practically helpless, unless they
realize that the disease must be
combatted at It's source. Rheu-
matism is often a diseased con-
dition of the blood, the disease
attacks the body through the
blood, hence the system can be
rid of It's pains only after the
blood has been cleansed of the
germs Of the disease.
Lotions, liniments and ONT
ments, applied to the surface
may in some cases deaden the
pain for the time being. but until
YOU attack the disease at its
foundation, you are making no
progress toward a cure. and you
are permitting the trouble to get
a hrmer hold on your system
every day. This is one reason
why Rheumatism Is usually a
permanent disease. staying with
It's victims year after year. Get
ting rid of the disease is merely
a matter of treating it intelligent
ly. Knowing that it cannot be
cured by external applications,
it is folly to rely upon such treat
ment.
S. S. S. Is without question
the most thorough blood med
icine ever made. and 1t cleanses
the blood of every imPurity and
disease germ. That is why it sell
dom fails to give satisfactory re-
suits IN even the severest cases
OF Rheumatism. Being purely
vegetable without a particle Of
mineral or chemical in its COM
position, 1t works by eliminating
and forcing out of the blood all
impurities, acting as a tonic to
the entire system at the same
time. It has been in use for
more than fifty years and thou
sands OF sufferers from rheu-
matism give it unstinted praise.
You are invited to write our
medical department for full in
formation and advice about the
treatment Of your own case. for
which no charge is made. Ad-

TURKEY THIEF
F | re s SIX
TIMES A I
O v \ T R

Firing six times at E. 3. Holt, a
prominent rancher residing four miles
east of Heber, turkey thief made
his getaway by automobile, after he
had been cornered in an alfalfa patch
about 2:30 this morning.
The case, spectacular one. and
also humorous in some aspects, was
reported to the sheriff's office and
Undcrshcriffs Cummings and Matlock
spent this morning endeavoring to
solve the crime.
Mr.. Holt was awakened early this
morning by a commotion in his chicken
coop and, on going out to see what
was wrong, surprised a big man at
tempting to escape with a turkey.
He started after the thief and COM
relied him to drop the turkey before
the chase had proceeded verv far
! Finally the man turned around and
fired six times at Holt, missing him
7 The chase continued and the thief
was cornered in an alfalfa field. Mr..
Holt called to his hired man to bring
( the gun, but the hired man was bare
footed and could not run fast enough
across the field, with the result that
the thief climbed the fence, jumped on
the running board of car, which was
waiting for him, and made good his
escape.
Mr.. Holt had a somewhat similar
experience two years ago, cornerin@
the man in his horse and buggy and
when he stopped the horse, the man
escaped, leaving him the animal, which
was later sold
