NOT only are the people with smaller
incomes losing proportionately less
through taxation, but through the
money they are investing in govern
ment bonds they are going to be, col
lectively, the heaviest creditors In the
future, says the Worlds Work. Ii the
rich were financing the war by bonds
and the people with the smaller IN
comes were financing it by taxes, the
reverse would be true. In that case
the poor of the next generation would
be taxed to pay interest and principal
of the war loans which would be
held by the rich, as ultimately were
the loans of the civil war. This was
not "a rich mans war and a poor
mans fight 1t was everybody's
fight, and the poor mans profit.

THE PANCS OF
RHEUMATISM

everyone who has had the
slightest experience with
rheumatism will continue to
suffer and grow worse until
they are finally practically
helpless, unless they realize
that the disease must be COM
bated at its source. Rheu-
matism is often a 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 cleansed of the
germs of the disease.
Lotions, liniments and oint-
ments, applied to the surface
may in some cases deaden
the pain for the time being,
but until you attack the dis
ease at its foundation, you
are making no progress to-
ward a cure, and you are
permitting the trouble to get
a firmer hold on your system
every day. This is one rea-
son why Rheumatism is usu-
ally a permanent disease,
staying with its victims year
after year. Getting rid of
the disease is merely a mat
ter of treating it intelligent
ly. knowing that it cannot
be cured by external applica-
tons, it is folly to rely upon
such treatment.
S. S. S. is without question
the most thorough blood
medicine ever made, and it
cleanses the blood of every
impurity and disease germ.
That is why it seldom fails to
give satisfactory results in
even the severest cases of
Rheumatism. Being purely
vegetable without a particle
of mineral or chemical in its
composition, it works by elm
mating and forcing out of
the blood all impurities, act
ing as a tonic to the entRe
system at the same time. Ut
has been in use for more than.
fifty years and thousands of
sufferers from rheumatism
give it unstinted praise.
You are invited to write
our medical department for
full information and advice
about the treatment of your
own case, for which no
charge is made. Address

come home and get caught in the gears OF
clerical machinery.
1.-THE Government? What do you mean
by the Government? You speak of it as
tho it were band of outlaws off in some
corner of the country doing everything
conceivable TO make people in general and
soldiers in particular suffer Why, boy,
YOU are the Government, and when you
damn the Government you damn yourself,
and your dad and all the rest Of US.
"'When we went into this war it was
without any preparation, and. even tho we
had been prepared, we could not send all
our best men in the country to the front
the way we were obliged to do and leave the
clerical end of the war machinery at home
TO be conducted by old men and girls with
out that end having more or less serious
bitches. We had SOME JOB.
:" If you could spend week with me in
the city of Washington. even now, you
would get some idea of the size of that
job. And while we did not have to stand
the shock of battle and awfulness of trench
life, you would realize that we, too. had our
heavy tasks and you would feel that we,
with our still heavier hearts because of you,
our boy, who were over there, had done
pretty WELL after all.
1--WE are still trying to do our best for
you. Can't you be patient just little
longer with us? There is still so much we
want to do for you, so much we will do for
you if you will only let us, if you will only
help us by being patient just little
longer"

Cannot BE Rubbed Away
With Liniments.

You who are afflicted with
this most painful disease
who know from experience
Just how excruciating its
pangs are-get this fact fixed
firmly in your mind, and it
will aid you in finding a way
to a complete recovery.
Rheumatism cannot be rubbed
away with liniments - its
pains and pangs cannot be
wiped out as if by magic. A
disease that is so full of tor
ture and finally renders its
victims so helpless, is a deep
seated one; it is not on the
surface, hence it cannot be
reached by external, surface
remedies. This is no theory,
for your own experience
doubtless has shown you that
you can never expect to rid
yourself of the disease in this
way.
For the chances are that
you, like thousands of other
sufferers, have been misled
into the hope that liniments,
lotions and other applications
would cure your rheumatism.
But what has been your ex-
perience? The pains posi-
bly, have been lessened for
the time being, but have they
not promptly returned, often
with increased severity, and
are you really any nearer a
cure than before? You GER
tainly are not, and you never
will be as long as you rely
upon treatment that at best
is merely a makeshift.
See what Mr.. J. l.. Agnew,
of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, says of
what S. S. S. did for his
rheumatism:
FOR ten years 7 was badly
afflicted with Rheumatism,
the pains in my knees, legs
and ankles being almost un-
bearable. tried various
remedies without results,
until "a physician advised
me to use S. S. s.. stating
that the disease was in tho
blood. After taking a few '
bottles the pains and Sore
ness were greatly lessened.
continued this medicine
until all pain, soreness and
inflammation were gone,
and was co m y sicily
cured"
