WHY MAKE THE
ANNUAL STRUGGLE
WITH RHEUMATISM?

In order to get permanent re-
lief from this dreadful disease,
the blood must be purified, and
all irritating matter removed
from the circulation.
No remedy does this SO quick
ly as S. S. S., the best blood puri-
fer on the market today, that
has stood the test of time with
sixty years of success behind it,
and more popular today than it
has ever been before.
S. S. S. not only contains puri-
flying and tonic properties, but
solvent qualities, and, being
purely vegetable, will not injure
the system as do medicines
which contain potash and other
mineral ingredients.
While cleansing the blood of
all poison, it builds up the sys-
tenn and relieves the sufferer of
the nagging pains of Rheuma-
tism an dis the one remedy that
is so useful in repairing the dam
age done by blood diseases.
Don't wait for your trouble to
become chronic, but begin the
use of S. S. S. today and purge
the blood of every particle of the
poison.
We maintain medical de-
partment for the benefit of all
who are afflicted, and our Chief

SNAKES KILL 23,s1e IN INDIA;
COBRA VENERATED BY HiNDUS
NJ. e. A. Special.

Bombay. India, Jan. 29.-India, half

seeking a cure for it's scourage of
poisonous snakes.
In one year 23,91S persons died of
snakebite in India Most dangerous of

The Hindus believe that the cobra

Buddah while he slept and was blest
by the saint. 1t is this superstition
which makes the cobra's life safe
among a large part of the people of
India.
These snakes enter houses and gar
dens, in search of mice or of eggs and
young chickens and are not naolested

Nature Gives Cry for Help
That S. S. S. Can Answer
With the Right Treatment

This is the season when the
damp, cold, changing weather of
winter intensifies the pains and
other disagreeable symptoms of
rheumatism.
Rheumatism never comes by
accident. 1t is in the blood and
system before a pain is felt.
The symptoms of this disease
are almost unnoticed at first, Sc
insidiously do they steal over the
body; gradually the little pains
and stiffness increase until they
develop great inconvenience day
by day, and if neglected or i'm
properly treated will become
chronic.
Not only is Rheumatism the
most painful of all diseases, with
it's swollen, stiff joints, throb-
bling muscles and singing
nerves, but it is a formidable and
dangerous trouble.
Every day the poison remains
in the system the disease gets a
firmer hold and the patient is
soon left a helpless cripple.
Of course, if this painful dis
ease was on the surface only
you might reasonably expect to
get relief by the use Of lotions,
liniments and other local appli.
cations. But the source of the
disease is in your blood, the tiny
disease germs find Judgment

lions, scattered by means of the

W ar Profits Lessened
BY Amortization

Loss which is seriously confronting
some business concerns is the pos
sible sudden depreciation of plant
and equipment and vessels which have
been constructed or acquired after
April 6. 1917, for the purpose Of filing
contracts which were contributorv to
the prosecution of the war. In other
words, many concerns have constructed
new plants or made additions to their
old plants which were used for the
purpose Of filing war contracts and
whose value and use are reduced 10
nominal amount by the discontinuance
Of such work. The new bin takes care
of such losses by permitting a reason
able deduction for amortization of such
property. The provision is so worded
that the Treasury Department. any
time within three years after the re
turn is filed, may readjust any dcduc-
ton which has been taken in the tax
payers return. The law does not place
any limitation upon the amount which
may be taken in any one year, beyond
the qualification that it shall be reason
able, which leaves the matter of the re-
turn to the judgment of the taxpayer.

Thus the movements of security

Business Gets Free
Hand in REIMBURSEMENT

From the standpoint of free initiative
IN business, two dangers loomed up
when the armistice was signed. The
first was that q bureaucracy built on
the foundation stones of taboos might
fail to unshackle industry after the
emergency ended. The secondhand
quite the other eXtreme-was that lack
OF vision might compel government and
industry to return entirely to the old
ways and reject the benefits that came
from working together. Before leav-
ing for Europe, President Wilson. in
an address before Congress. relieved
business of the fear that it might not
he set free again. Members of the
Cabinet, following the lead of the Chief
Executive, then began to inform the
country in a phrase here and sens
tence there that the genius of the
American business man would be re-
lied upon to pilot the country through
the shoals incident to the readjust-
ment of industry to peace basis, and
that the government as a serviceable
friend would stimulate, promote, and
actively assist in the development of
new economic processes.
1t soon became apparent. despite the
chaos that exists in after the-war
Washington, than the main contact be
tween government and industry would
be the Department of Commerce, which
had been overshadowed during the war
by such emergency bodies as the War
Industries Board and the War Trade
Board On the repressive side other

pectcd to continue to function, but to
