Drives Out the Millions Of
Tiny Pain Demons That
Cause the Disease

There are many ways of treating
Rheumatism. but there Is only one
right way.
On the streets every day you see
the results Of improper and mis-
directed treatment. You see VIC
TINS of thi, painful and disabling
disease. Impins through life, their
limbs bent and stif. and their
bodies tortured with aching JOINTS
until you wonder how they can bear
so much continued suffering.
You see these same unfortunates
hobbIins along as another winter
approaches, knowing that there Is
another season of suffering IN store
for them. You notice that they are
a little more stopped. and their
gait is a little more difficult as the
years go by.
II you are beginning to teel the
first slight touches of Rheumatism.
there is just as much pain and
suffering ahead of you, if you
follow blindly in the same misdi-
rected footsteps Of unintelisert
treatment. For remember that all
these thousands Of victims of this
painful disease have spent count
less hours. no doubt, as well as
their hard-earned dollars, in a
vain effort to find a cure.
And your own experience will
be Just as disappointing as theirs.
if you follow the old. worn=out
and worthless methods of treat
ment.
The whole trouble is that the
symptoms of the disease are be-
ing treated, and not the disease
itself. When you realize that you
must get nd Of the cause Of Rheu-
matism. and that its torturins pains
will disappear when their cause is
removed. then you viii be on the
right track. and there is a splen-
did chance for you to nd yourself
of the disease.
First of all. get it firmly fixed
in your mind that all the lini-
meuts in the world have no ef-

The most common form of
Rheumatism is caused by millions
of tiny disease germs which IN
fest the blood. The one and
only sensible treatment. therefore,
is one which cleanses the blood
of these germs, and routs tbcm
entirely out of the circulation. And
everyone knows that this cannot
be done by rubbing the surface
with liniments.

TIE SOUTH PLAINS IS ATTRACTING MANY PEOPLE
There VIII Be Heavy Acreage of Farm Lands Cultivation
Lubbock Territory During the Next Few Months Which VIII
Mean a Great Deal to This Country.

There is a great drift Of popula-
ton 20 this section Of the country, or
there viii be within the next few
months. Hundreds Of deals have
been closed for properly in the Lub-
book country within the past thirty
days, and when the people who have
bought this property begin moving
their families here, it will look like
a great army advancing upon US,
and il viii be. but not for hostile
purposes.
Men have been here from most
every section Of the United States
within the past ninety days for the
purpose oil investigating the land
values and the general conditions Of
the much talked of Lubbock country.
and they are almost without excep-
ton highly pleased with what they
find here, and either invest in farms,
ranch land or city property, or go
back to the old home 10 get loose
from what they have there in order
TO grasp the great opportunities
they see in the South Plains lands.
Improved and unimproved lands
are being bought, and there will be
a heavy increase in cultivated lands
in this section during the next few
months. As soon as the farmers al
ready here can get their crops gath
cred, they will begin in earnest to
prepare a larger acreage for the 1920
crop The farms already started will
be added to, and there will be many
entirely new ones made The past
years yield as well as previous years
shows conclusively that the South
Plains lands will produce abundantly,
and pay a greater dividend than
most any other section of the great
State Of Texas, and outdoes the high
priced lands of the northern and
eastern states so badly that many Of
the people from those countries are
looking this way for investments
and homes.
In the city our splendid schools

number Of new business enterprises
will be launched here in the very
near future and as is mentioned in
another part Of this paper, much
public Improvement is being arrang-
ed for.
Not less than three new brick
churches are 10 be built this year and
possibly others. aud large number
of modern residences are also being
planned and contractors are figuring
them, additional school buildings are
to be erected and the splendid paw
ing campaign being actively prose
cuted will place our city far in the
front ranks Of progress.
The prospect for continued actiyi-
ty along every line. agriculture,
stockraising. commercialism, etc, is
assured by the magnificent season
that the lands Of this great south
plains has at this time of the year,
guaranteeing another bumper crop.

Never before in the history Of the
South Plains has there been as much
money on deposit in the banks, and
never before has there been such
large number of depositors, represen-
ted by all classes Of people. Trueiy
the great South Plains country of
which Lubbock is the logical leading
trading point is the center Of attrac-
ton for investors and homeseekers.
We feel safe in saying, as we have
often said before that this is the best
all round country in the southwest,
and is only yet in its infancy as to
development, and there is yet much
room for enterprising progressive
people to expand their energies and
capital and make for themselves hap
py homes and thriving business sur
