RHEUMATISM:
CAN NOT Be CURED

Aug. l, 1919
"A fs~ years sro 1 suffered from severe
attack Of srticular Rheumatism that ren-
dered mo almost helpless. BY the use of
the usual external remedies I was able to
check the pain somewhat but did not re-
gain the full use OF my limbs and on cloudy
days or when exposed tn damrness or cold
l would Immediately suffer from stin and
aching joiutS I began to take S. S. s. and
all symptoms at once began to disappear
until now l have no fear Of exposure 10 the
worst sort Of weather. I feel it my duty to
recommend s. 8. 8 to all who wish to free
themselves from the tortnring clutches Of
Rheumatism"
Physicians now agree that many
forms Of Rheumatism are caused
by a germ in the blood. The pain
is not the disease itself. but merely
symptom-natures warning to
you that you have been attacked.
The only intelligent treatment.
therefore. is through the blood:
treatment directed toward eliminat-
ing the disease germ from the blood.
For years nearly all the prescrip-
tons used by the medical profes-
sion were those containing iodide
of potash or mercurial substances,
but in nearly every case these min
erals are more injurious to-the sys-
TEN than the disease itself.
One reason why S. S. S. is so
successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism and other blood disor-
ders is the fact that it is a purely
vegetable remedy. being made from
roots and herbs gathered direct
from the forests. |, contains not a
particle of mineral substance. and
acts by driving disease germs from
the blood and cleansing it of all
impurities S. S. S. has been on
the market for fifty years. and al
most every druggist has sold it ever
since he has been in business. It is
sold under an absolute guarantee
that 1t IS purely vegetable.
Our medical department is main
tanned for the benefit Of the affIiet-
ed. and if you will write fully about
your case you will be given COM
.plete advice as to the treatment
necessary for your individual case.

there, and it happened to be practi-
cally the same idea.
In each tale there is an actor con-
1ronted with the problem of creating a
part thrown into intimate associat ton
with father and daughter, using the
father as the model for the stage
character that he is developing, scor-
Ing the success that raises him forever
from the obscurity of the ranks, but
paying the price in the recognition of
the source OF his triumph by the
model and the models daughter.
1t matters not that the scene of ono
tale Is London and OF the other Wash
ington; that the somewhat irascible.
Alabama Colonel OF one narrative is q
fussy little English clergyman in the
other; that one daughter is rather
past the age of first romance and her
relations with the aspiring actor do
not go beyond polite acquaintanceship

sentimental attachment; that where
Merrick ends his story o. Henry still

he has made 1t exclusively his own.

Of her days she believed in her slaves
and her lands.
Finally for her ears they invented

street and Beauregard had led to the
triumph Of the South and the estab-
lishment of the Confederacy as a per-
manent and sovereign state. The old
lady Of The Deliverance" was spared
the revelation that struck down Col.
Jouve.
Frankenstein ana Others.
The Frankenstein idea, of which
Mrs Shelley made use in a curious
literary competition early in the nine
tenth century, is an idea in the air
that goes back to primitive days of
mans romantic inventions; a weird
conception as common to the infiamed
imaginations of all lands as were the
sorceries of the East to the story spin
ners Of the Arabian Nights" With
the basic idea Mrs. Shelley's name
continues to be associated by virtue Of
one of the poorest and least dramatic
Of all the tales that have been per-
mitted to endure.
That idea, briefly the discovery Of
the secret of endowing the inanimate
with life and building a monster over
whom the creator soon loses control,
has been reappearing in some form or
other from time to time, and Is likely
to continue to reappear for many gen.
erations to come. In most of the
stories of recent years 1t has been
linked with Egyptology or pseudo

carries it with him to some obscure
corner Of England or France or the
United States, restores 1t to vicious
life, and uses it to his own Ubiquitous
ends. AS examples. Conan Doyle's
grewsome Lot No. 249" and Bran
Stoker's '"The Jewel of Seven Stars"
Another idea that is in the air and
that has always been in, the air is that
of a man walling up his enemy, from
whom he has suffered grievous wrong,
in a tomb and leaving him there to
perish. That is forever destined to
new literary incarnations. Honore de
Balzac put 1t to use in LIE Grande
Breteche," Enthusiastically choosing
as his scene a house on the banks of
the Loire near his own birthplace in
the city of Tours. Edgar Allan Poe
employed 1t with a vague Italian set
ting in 1.-THE Cask of Amontillado.'
Conan Doyle, with a background of
late nineteenth century Rome, and an
Englishman and German as the pro-
tagonists, gave 1t a new twist that
did not for moment obscure the
original idea, in THE New Catacomb."

Hornet as a Paper Maker

THAT hornet is both a maker Of
paper and an able builder we
knew even before insect science
was systematized. But the processes
by which the paper is made and the
deliberately planned nest is built We're
shrouded in mystery until they were
studied by Charles Janet, a French
man whose investigation OF insect life
has attracted much attention.
Janet found that hornets paper
making methods will bear comparison
with those of our ordinary paper mills
The hornet seeks some rotting tree.
removes a piece of wood, and chews 1t
till he produces a ball of pulp about a
quarter of an inch In diameter. Laden
with this, he flies to the nest. The
search for suitable piece OF decayed
wood and the chewing of It have con-
stunned not more than six minutes, and
perhaps only two. Clinging to the
comb with his middle and hind feet,
the worker juggles the ball of pulp
with his fore feet, chewing 1t continu-
ously to make it more plastic and ad-
hesive. After sufficient chewing he
disposes of the ball in repairing or
in building additions Selecting a
suitable part of the nest, he attaches
the ball and then drags 1t, leaving
behind a narrow strip Of paper.
AS the ball Of pulp is unreeled It is
shaped by the insects jaws, and by
incessant tamping along the joint II

form a part. When the ribbon has
reached length that varies from half
an inch to an inch and half the
hornet returns nearly, but not quite,
TO the point of beginning and deposits
a second strip. soon after that a third
and so on to completion.
After a certain stage in this singu-
lar work OF construction has been
reached the queen of the hive energies
from her royal seclusion and performs
a most astonishing operation. Carry
ing a ball of pulp of her own, she
spins around one leg as a radius and
deposits a circular ribbon of paper.
Less agile than the workers, who com
plete their labors in two or three min
utes, the queen requires at least five
minutes for her spin.
Instead OF building annexes to the
hive, the hornet may use half the ball
of pulp in cell building. although
whole balls OF very fine pulp are gath
cred for this special purpose. In prin-
ciple, cell building is exactly like the
process described, but the paper used
is finer and the work is carried on
with greater care. Like good arti-
san, the worker retouches the moist
cell after completion. smoothing down
inequalities and finishing the walls
with exquisite attention TO detail.
Although the paper of which the
cells and envelopes are fashioned is In
itself perilously weak, the nest can
sustain an astonishing weight of
larvae and hornets. which speaks we'll
for the engineering skill OF the builder.

No matter how often and in what

once In every generation. Reduced to
its baldest form il is the story of q

he is engaged in trying to send to the

ponds upon the successful prosecu-
ton OF the case. To his hands come
secretly the proofs that establish the
perfect innocence of the accused. To
produce the proof means the loss of his
case and OF his future The life at

the newly found evidence, he charges
brilliantly. sends the old man to the
