Get a Start On
 Your Rheumatism

and endeavor to eliminate them from your system right now while they are less able to re- sist effective treatment.
 Until you do cleanse your blood of the cause of your Rheumatism, you will remain in the clutches of the disease, and you will have to undergo an other season of rubbing with liniments, lotions, etc., in an endeavor to get relief from its torturing pains.
 Many people have found that the summer season is an excel lent time to cleanse the blood of the impurities which cause their Rheumatism, because the germs are more easily reached while they are inactive.
 One of the best remedies for Rheumatism is S.S.S., which is an excellent blood purifier, and acts by eliminating from the blood all impurities. S.S.S. has been successfully used in hun dreds of cases of Rheumatism, and perhaps it is just the treat ment that you need. It is sold by all druggists.

URGES WAR PREVENTION
Democratic League of Nations Can
 Never Mean Peace-Harding
By Associated Press

Marion, O., September 15.-Urging the adoption of new proposal for preven- tion of war instead of the League of Nations, Senator Harding in a mes sage today to republican women's or ganizations and woman's Harding and Coolidge clubs asked that we preserve our own national conscience at home and not check it at Geneva
 The message which was addressed to Mrs. Ray Fucker, president of the woman's Harding and Coolidge Club of New York City and sent to all women's organizations also asserted that Amer ican women must realize that the League of Nations "as presented by a democratic administration would not mean peace for us, but would mean American boys living in army tents overseas and asked to die in causes in which they would have no heart"
 The message was intended to set forth to the women voters the candidates views on their entrance into politics why they should enroll in the republican party and brief outline of the party,s position on the League of Nations Sem ator Harding said he expects in the near tuture to make a comprehensive discuss sion of the League of Nations from the Womens view point in a front porch speech He intimated this may be one of his most important front porch ad- dresses. It will be made~to. a delegation of women voters.
 Before leaving for Columbus to play golf this afternoon. Senator Harding con- ferred with Dr. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn. pr. Hilks later gave out statement in which he said that possibly one reason why the tide IS ebbing away from the party in power is because "the people think Governor Cox illustrates the law of arthmetical progression"
 Beginning with t.e charge that repub- hcans were spending sS.000000 in buying the presidency, he jumped to $15,oo0 900. and yesterday to the s30O0O, GOO. and soon probably in the spirit of progression will have the republicans spending the total annual income of the nation as a corrupt fund, and the next week he will have us borrowing money from Germany

RUN-OFF NECESSARY
McShane Has Majority of 1,279 Over
 Behrman for Mayor
By Associated Press

by ASSOcfated Press
 New Orleans September 15-Incomplete returns from both city and country tr- night made 1t apparent that a run-off would be necessary to determine the vic tory in the senatorial feature of yester- days statewide democratic primary
 Indications were that Jared r. sanders Of Bogalusa, former governor and con- gressman from the Sixth district, and Edwin S. Broussard of New Iberia. brother of the late United States Senator Robert Broussard, would finish less than 1000 votes apart.
 Figures which have in past elections been considered official gave Andrew l. McShane a ma ajority of 1,279 over Martin Behrman in the local mayoralty race Mayor Behrman, however stated he did not intend to concede the election to MIG Shane until he was entirely satisfied that the police precinct organization com. pilation, which are used by the news@ papers here, are correct.
 Incomplete returns show a close race in the Sixth congressional district with Amos L. Ponder of Baton Rouge slightly ahead of former Congressman George K Favrot. It was expected it would take all of the boxes to definitely determine the winner.
 or the face of incomplete returns, was nominated in the Eighth district; John \ Sandlin of Minden, over the incumbent. John T. Watkins, in the Fourth; Henry Dupre in the Second and James O'Con- nor of New Orleans, incumbent, over AL bert Estopina in the First. It was ad- mitted, however, that additional returns might reverse the leads in these caSes. Three congressman were unopposed.

Why People Advertise.
beverly Times.)

In deciding what stores are likely to
give the best service, the purchaser of
home and personal supplies might well
ask what motives lead stores to adver-
tise, and how the advertised store diff
fers from the non-advertised one.
The principal motive that leads mer-
chants to advertise, is confidence in their
ability to win out in the competitive
struggle.
Some merchants go into business hop
ing merely to get what share of trade
falls to them naturally. Having a good
position, they expect that a certain num-
Der of people will be attracted by their
show windows and will come in and buy.
Any store viii get a certain amount
Of trade in this way. But it is having
to butt up all the time against stores
that are not satisfied to take what comes

termined to reach out by active and pos
tive methods to win new friends every
day.

Women Eager to Vote.
Burlington Free Press. J

One of the arguments against the ex-
tension of political justice to the women
of Vermont was that they did not want
to vote. The way in which Vermont wO-
men fiocked to the polls at the very first
opportunity in the primaries on Sept.
IA, was a complete and conclusive an
swer to that gubernatorial objection.
Evidences are multiplying to show
that the women of Vermont viii still
more largely participate in the election
IF president of the United States, con
gressiOnal, state, county, legislative and
Justice tickets on Nov. 2. There will
not be another combined opportunity for
four years like the present for the exer-
else of the right of suffrage. Naturally
the women of Vermont will not want
to miss this new and infrequent mani
fold voting opportunity. No poll tax is
required for women to vote on Nov. 2.
On the other hand the responsibility for
voting for both women and men was
never so tremendous as now.
The New York Herald has been max
ing a canvass of the country and it finds
that in all states the women are for
the protection of the home and the home
is involved or imperiled in so many diff
ferent ways in this election, that the
women will probably vote in tremendous
numbers.
