RHEUMATISM

IT'S GONE! That awful agony!
L Rheumatism can't stand the rich,
red blood that S. S. S. helps Nature
build.
But rheumatism will bring pain and
misery to your joints and muscles just
as long as you are without plenty Of
rich, red blood in your system.
It's the red-blood-cells that S. S. S.
helps Nature build that drive out Of
your system the impurities that cause
rheumatism. And until you do build
up your blood to where it is pure and
rich and red, you simply can't get rid
of rheumatism.
And S. S. S. is the thing. Red blood
conquers rheumatism. Everybody
knows that.
S. S. S. means millions of red-blood-
cells-means health all
over No more rheuma- Il
tism. Nights of rest &c
days of joy, filled with \S.AA/
the happiness of accom-. y
plishment = made pos
sible by body brimful
Of red blooded life, energy and vitality.
That's what the end of rheumatism
means--that's what S. S. S. brings to
you. Get S. S. S. from your druggist.
The larger bottle is more economical.

STATEMENT BY The
CITY COUNCIL Men
NOT OPPOSED TO OPERATION
OF BUSES BUT BELIEVE TIME OPPOR-
TUNE FOR RATE REDUCTION AND SUG-
GEST METHOD OF PROCEDURE

The recent action of the City
Council in authorizing the insti.u-
ton of proceedings against the
Key West Electric Company for
the forfeiture of its franchise ex7
tension has caused general corr
ment among the citizens here and
The Council now thinks 1t exped-
ient to state the situation with a
view of informing the public of
the facts and 10 clarity the issues
which have been beclouded.
In the first place the City Coun-
ell is not opposed to the operation
of buses by the Key West Elec-
trio Company.
The City Council does oppose
the abandonment of the electric
street railway for the following
reason, namely, in the year 1898
the Key West Electric Company
obtained from the City of Key
West an extension of its light and
railway franchises for a period of
ninety-nine years from the year
1898. The consideration for this
extension is stated in said extern
sion to be 'in consideration of the
benefits to be derived by the City
of Key West from the establish
ment and operation Of an electric
railway in said City ****''. Now
il the Key West Electric Company
has deprived the City of the con-
sideration which it gave for said
extension By discontinuing its cleo
tric street railway, then the citi-
gems of Key West are entitled to
be compensated in some manner
for such loss.
II will be remembered that the
extension iof franchise was for
ninety-nine years. The following
year the Safe Legislature wisely
enacted a law prohibiting the
granting Of any franchise for a
period of longer than thirty years.
Unfortunately the original fran
ch ses granted failed to reserve to
the City the right to fix max
mum rate for the services rend-
cred, nor was it provided that any
other disinterested authority
would have supervision over such
rates. Under such circumstances
the City Councils of The City OF
Rye West have been powerless to
examine into or cause the Key
West Electric Company 10 reduce

Herriott Government Opposes
Initiation OF French Currency
REMINDER OF LATE
EMINENT FINANCIER

EGYPT, Mass, July 21.-There
is q pathetic reminder of the late
eminent financier, Thomas w.
Lawson, in this little South Shore
community, a section of the town
of Scituate, where for twenty
years in the heyday of his career
on State Street, Boston, he lived
and moved and had his being.
Lawson passed away at his
summer home on the Maine coast
about two years ago. His wife
had died before him. and her death
doubtless cut short the remaining
days of Lawson's life.
Here in Egypt, which "Tom"
Lawson made famous, are the
struggling ruins of his vast shore
estate, Dreamwold, upon which
he spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars when he held within his
grasp the reins of finance in New
England. He died without a
penny. Dreamwold was sold and
the lodge house which none might
pass in other days without permis-
sion was turned into a realty Of
flee.
Dreamwold covers great
grassy hillside. At its feet the
waves of the North Atlantic surge
under winters stress, or sweep
gently in with the summer tides.
Many buildings once marked its
emerald lawns, horse barns, a rid
ing academy, starting stand at
the edge of racetrack, homes for
the employees, majestic wind
mill, spacious mansion house.
and q splendid chapel with a
sweet-toned bell.
Except the chapel end the man
sion and the lodge house at the
gates near the Fgynt station,
nothing now remains but broken
cement barn floors. rusting water
|pipes and bedraggled fences. The
fences were Lawson's pride and
10y. There were possibly miles Of
them, about fonr feet high. of
plain boards. crossed between the
oosts and fitted with ton and bot
tom rails as wide as the boards
that made up the crosses.
These fences were kept i'm.
maculate with whiterash. thew
were almost smothered in rlorious
crimson ramhler roses which made
riot of color in summer; the
