AGED COUPLE MAKE Plea
FOR OLD ARMCHAIR

Stauntan, Sept 33s--One oftens
wonders whether or not. the story
liz true, h n d e d " n from
generation to generation regar ding the
"old armchair grandfather or grand :
mother used to love and value SO
high. An illustration Of the truth
Of the story was given recently In
Staunton, says the News
Two grand parents, aged and gray,
were to enter the city home. They
had been convinced that It was for
the bettcrment Of their condition and
leave the old home. Everything
seemed fixed for the move until the
grandfather asked regarding his old
rocking chairs. The question ne
put was, would they be permitted
to take the old rocking chairs that
had been theirs since they entered
the holy state OF matrimony, many
years ago
There was a pathetic appeal in the
dim and watery eyes of the venerable
Old gentleman while he told of the
comfort he derived from the .old
chair" and his life's helpmate stood
by his side in acquiescence to his plea.
When told that there were chairs
galore at the county home the reply
came in tremulous tones: But they
sre not our old arm chairs which
have given us many moments of
pleasure and Joy when the long win
ter evenings were upon us.
The outcome Of the appeal on the
part of the old folks was that they
were permitted to take along the
odd rocking chairs and ouiy short
time ago one of the two old people.
left this world after having lived a
life worthy of example, Death came
and relieved the tension. Now the
party to the life union, waits patient
ly during the long hours Of the days
and nights, resting in the loved rock
ing chair and longing to go home
where their union will be immortal
lied in the skies
Verify. tits true that the old arm
chair haids memories OF days past
and gone, which compels the rever-
enccr of us of the younger generation
as we see aged and wrinkled ances-
tors resting through the evening of
life.

This is a typical case. and everyone
who has had the slightest experience
with rheumatism will continue to SUI
fer and grow worse until they are nm
ally practically helpless unless they
realize that the disease must be com
hatted at It's source. rheumatism is
often d diseased condition OF the
blood. the disease attacks the body
through the blood. hence the system
can be rid of its pains only after the
blood has been cieansed of the germs
OF the disease.
Lotions iiniments and ointments.
applied to the surface may in soma
cases deaden the pain for the time be-
ing. but until you attack the disease
at It's foundation. you are making no
progress toward cure, and you are
permitting the trouble to get frmer
hold on your system every day. This
Is one reason why Rheumatism IL
usually a. permanent disease, staying
with It's victims year after year. Get
ting rid Of the disease Is merely mat
ter OF treating 1t inteliigently. Know
ing that It cannot be cured by extern
al applications. 1t Is folly to rely upon
such treatment
s. s. S. is without question the most
thoroughly blood medicine ever made,
and 1t cleanses the blood OF every Inn
purity and disease germ. That is why
it seldom fails to give satisfactory re-
suits in even the severest cases OF
rheumatism. Being purely vegetable
without particle Of mineral or chem
ical in its composition, it works by
eliminating and forcing out Of the
blood all impurities. acting az tonic
to the entire system at the, same time.
1t has been In use for more than nifty
years and thousands OF sufferers from
rheumatism give 1t unstinted praise.

OPPOSES PLAN OF BOARD
Secretary Morrison Emphatic in De-
nunciation Of Any Scheme for
Reduction Of Wages

Organized labor will refuse to "share
In the results" of price readjustments
II its living standards are to be en-
dangered," Frank w. Morrison, secre-
tary Of the American Federation of
Labor, said in statement.
Mr.. Morrison criticised tie declara-
tons made by the federal reserve
board in a recently published review
OF its forthcoming monthly bulletin
that all factors in production SHOULD
bear their share in the general pro-
cess Of readjustment."
"The board seems to accept the
economic error" said Mr.. Morrison.
"that the price Of a commodity and
the price of labor are Identical. Where
wages are reduced, living standards
Of the workers are Immediately af-
fected and the home suffers"
Calling attention to the boards
statement that "if the readjustment is
equitably carried out, its effect will
not tend to favor any particular class
or group in the commodity" Mr.. Nor
rison said:
'The workingman will ask, II his
living standards are to be endangered,
II the same theory will apply to the
employer, or is 1t intended to have the
latter merely dispense with some Of
his wartime profits? There Is nothing
equitable about such an arrangement.
Its theory Is unsound and In practice
Il u impossible"
