Rheumatism is not only one of the
most prevalent. but one of the most
painful and difficult to treat of all dis
eases. When the digestive organs are

clogged up. the whole system becomes
deranged and saturated with uric acid
poisons and other impurities, which
accumulate in the joints and other
parts of the body, and produce the
condition known as rheumatism.
Tanlac is a powerful reconstluctive
tonic and overcomes this condition BY
acting directly on the vital organs,
toning them up and enabling them to
perform their proper functions, so
that the impurities are eliminated
from the system in natural way.
Liniments and other external appli-
cations as a general rule only afford
temporary relief. Tanlac is a consti-
tutional treatment and gets right at
the root of the trouble by removing
the cause.
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
giSts. -AdvertiSement.

BABYLON WAS LARGE.

Population contributes nothing of

population of 1888 each month, or
$3.50 a year. 1t dreams of outdis-
tancing the French capital within two
years.
1t is probable that this dream NAV
be realized. But what then? Without
questioning the fact that the Western
metropolis contains a multitude of
law-loying and law-abiding citizens.
II must be said that the reputation of
the city has become notorious through
out the Union as one characterized by
disorder and unlicensed criminal ac-
tivities. 1t may not be, as a con-

diversity in criminal performance and

THE SURE THRIFT WAY.

Thrift-lessons in the lives OF many
successful men arc worthy to be
learned by heart and lived up to. for
they are the lights along the way for
the youth OF tho country.
But the right thrift lessons are un-
needed by many in the Elusive set-rich-
quick rush-to get something for moth
ing.
Writing along this line in the
Philadelphia Record. s. w. Straus
says that this desire to get there"
without patient. steady effort has re-
suited in many tragedies which would
have been averted had the right been
taken In time.
But that seems too hard road 10

THE practices of thrift" says Mr.
Straus. in his Philadelphia Record
article, may not yield immediate re-
turns. and to the impatient or am
bilious person, the careful saving OF
money, penny by penny. or dollar by
dollar. may seem too slow a progress
for acquiring financial success. But

of human experience that in the lone
