Better Blood.
PeptO- Mangan Improves Blood
Composed of Approved Blood

In Liquid and Tablet Form.

Are you tired and weak and
"hlue?" Do you say to yourself
whats the use of living? What
do I get out OF life, dragging
through this dyab existence in this
unhappy way"
You don't feel we'll and you don't
know why you have SO little ener
gy to do anything. and you get all
tired out before It is done. There
are millions in busy America that
have such feelings now and then
and they are to be pitied But
there is help. Unless some serious
malady is at the bottom of their
trouble, a few weeks of Pepto Man
gan Will work a wonderful change.
Pepto- Mangan puts new vigor into
the blood, and the blood is the life
fluid. With plenty of rich. red
blood coursing through ones body
one is pretty likely to feel good
and vigorous and be strong and look
hearty.
Go to your druggist and ask for
Guides Pepto-Mangan." BE sure
to say Guides" If GUIDES is not
on the package it is not Pepto-
Mangan. It is put up in both liquid
and tablet form. Tell the druggist
which you prefer. There is no diff
ference in medicinal value. 1t

FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES
YOUR RHEUMATISM

some forms of rheumatism are
caused by tiny disease germ in
the blood, which multiplles by the
million, and until these germs are
routed from the blood, you can see
how futile local treatment will be.
In fact, YOU can rub with liniments
and use lotions by the gallon and
never hope to reach the cause Of
your trouble.
So many people have found real
permanent relief from their rheu-
matism by the use OF S. s. S. that
its use is justified in practically
every case. Certainly if your rheu-
matism is due 10 a germ in the
blood, as so many thousands of
cases are. you should lose no time
in beginning the use OF S. S. S,
because you can rely upon this fine
old blood remedy to do you more
good than any other treatment.
s. S. S. IS beneficial in rheuma-
ism, because it Is such thorough
blood medicine. It c,eanses the
blood of all impurities, and eradi
Gates the germs which cause rheu-
matism. The wonderful results it
has accomplished in other eases is
proof of its great merit. s. S. S.
has been on the market fer more
than fifty years and = sold by all
druggists.
You are invited to write our
medical department for valuable
literature and advice about the
treatment of your own case, for
which no charge is made, Address

aeA You Will Be Able To
Treat 1t InteIIigentIy.

The medical profession has not
yet fully determined all of the
causes of rheumatism, though they
are pretty well agreed on two
points.
The first is that the disease is
moro than a mere local trouble,
that the pangs Of pain come from
q source that is far below the sur
face, and therefore it is not reas-
enable to expect any rational re
lief from a treatment that is 10
cally applied and reaches only the
surface.
When you realize the logic Of
this conclusion. you will see that
you are really wasting your time
and money If you are expecting any
permanent relief from the use Of
lin,ments, lotions, and other local
~ applied treatment, which can
oaly reach the surface, and have
no effect whatever upon the origin
OF your trouble.
Any disease should he treated at
its source, and especially one that
causes as much suffering as rheu-
matism. For what you want is
not mere temporary relief from the
torturing pangs o. pain, which will
promptly return with renewed Sc
verify. The only treatment worth
willie is one that will show some
progress toward getting at the
source of the diesase and freeing
the victim from its shackles.
The other point that the medical
profession has agreed upon, is that

To The News Scimitar:
The ordinance granting an increase
OF rates to the Cumberland Telephone
company constitutes a contract between
the city and the company.
This contract cannot be Cancelled
ordinance, for If the contract ever was
valid, it is still valid. and is capable Of
enforcement by the company.
The demand for a referendum merely
suspends the operation of the contract
until final action by the voters. II
merely demanded, and then abandoned,
upon passage of such period as Is given
the public to act, the vitality Of the
contract is restored.
The scheme is this: If the pretended
rescission of the ordinance Is believed to
be effective by the public, the public
will abandon its demand for a referen-
dunn, and then, when the time has
passed within which a referendum can
be legally demanded and acted upon,
the company will insist that the com
missioners were without power to re-
scind the contract by a repeal of the
ordinance. 1t will insist that it ac-
cepts the ordinance comforting the
power to raise prices, and that this
| created a contract. That it did not ac-
cept the ordinance repeating the grant,
nor did it acquiesce in same, and that
| its contract is still effective. In this
the company would unquestionably be
right.
1t is a nice scheme to blind the public
until too late for them to act, and 1t
| will be successful, unless you expose it
in time and convince the public Of the
necessity of proceeding with the refer
endum and a vote thereon.
The application to the state commits
