Gets Right Twist
On Rheumatism
Makes Short Work of Cleaning Out Your Entire
System—Aches and Pains Go Fast.
In S. S. S. You Get a Twist on Rheumatism that Settles It.
Many a rheumatic sufferer has been to
the drug store for a bottle of S. S. S. and
been handed something claimed to be
"Just as good.” Truly, to ask for bread
and be given a stone Is still in practice.
If you are troubled with rheumatism in
any form be sure to use S. S. S. and note
its wonderful influence.
S. S. S. has the peculiar action of soak
ing through the intestines directly into
the blood. In live minutes its influence is
at work in every artery, vein and tiny
capillary. Every membrane, every organ
of the body, every emunctory'becomes in
effect a filter to strain the'blood of im
purities. The stimulating properties of S.
S. S. compel the skin, liver, bowels, kid
neys, -bladder to all work to the one end
of casting out every irritating, every pain-
inflicting atom of poison; it dislodges by
'irrigation all accumulations in the joints,
causes acid accretions to disolve, renders
them neutral and scatters those peculiar
formations in the nerve centers that
cause such mystifying and often baffling
rheumatic pains.
And best of all this remarkable remedy
is welcome to the weakest stomach. If
you have drugged yourself until your
stomach is nearly paralyzed, you will be
astonished to find that S. S. S. gives no
sensation but goes right to work. This Is
because it is a pure vegetable infusion, is
taken naturally into your blood just as
pure air is inhaled naturally into your
lungs.
Get a bottle of S. S. S. today, and ask
for S. S. S.
You may depend upon it that the store
that sells you what you ask for is a good
place to trade. Write to the Swift
Specific Co., 204 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.,
for their Book on Rheumatism.
TIGER BEETLE.
There is a worm, with an ugly hump
on its bach, living in deep, straight
holes, dug out usually in beaten paths.
"When paths are not made, they seek the
bare spots. These worms station them
selves near the top of the opening, hold
ing themselves in position by two strong
hooks on the fifth segment of the abdo
men. As insects fall into the cavity,
the worm being voracious feeds on them.
They are voracious and fierce. For many
years, boys and girls in the southern
United States "have been going “joho-
ker fishing.” With a long, smooth
straw the holes are sought, and when
the straw is thrust into the opening, on
striking the worm’s head, provoked, -it
grasps the end with its mandibles and
begins to push the straw Out. At this
moment the “fisher children” pull up
their straw, and their snake-like fish is
tossed out upon the ground. Just where
the name “ johoker” originated I have
have never been able to discover. The
worms when placed back in the hole,
will descend rapidly, and may be caught
many times in succession.
This larva is .the worm of the tiger
beetle, which frequents paths, and sandy
places. It is rather a nervous beetle
and runs or flies in front, always turn
ing around and facing the approaching
person. Usually ■ a few of the tiger
beetles and larvae are found on every
lot and farm. B. S. W.

lowed by many, some pruning to one
stem, others to two or more. In prun
ing to one stem a good stout stake is
driven down near the plant and as
soon as any side shoots begin to come
on they are pinched off. The plants
need to be gone over every two or three
days to keep this done. The terminal
bud is permitted to grow and from time
to time, as it gets higher and higher
up the stake, it is tied with strips of
cloth or other soft material. After get
ting high enough so as to bear three to
four bunches of tomatoes, the leader
also pinched out.
Pruning to two or more stems, the
same idea is followed, excepting at the
start, when instead of pinching off the
side shoot one or two of them is per
mitted to grow, the side shoots of this
or these in case two are left to grow
are pinched off. It is well to have cross
pieces nailed to the stake when the
plant is being trained to two or more
stems.
Tomatoes are usually planted four by
four feet excepting when they are to
be staked and pruned. In the latter
case the more severely they are to be
pruned the closer they should be plant
ed.

THE BATTLE OF
THE TIRES
[Agricultural and Commercial Press' Service]
It is interesting to watcb the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy,
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con
flict but the results are more far-
reaching to present and future gen
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber .tire has been maneuver
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim
portant positions in traffic, hut it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
Its iron competitor by hurling a mil
lion “jitneys” at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to re
treat, its doom is sealed, hut if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the. rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for Iron is the un
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1814, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which hound
the country together with hands of
steel. It took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the-inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the how of Ulys-1
ses. The roadbed was already pre
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
It has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwpod
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov
ery.
The rubber tire first made its ap
pearance on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to he taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to waft into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvelous differ
ence . between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every man’s door,
why a city? It will traverse the con
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule
vard built by Napoleon. It will par
alyze the law making bodies of this
nation for how" could the legislatures
run without the railroajis to operate
on?

FEDERAL
ND
JSTRIAL
ISSON
By Peter Radford.
The recent investigation of the
United States Commission of Indus
trial Relations brought together the
extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep
resentatives of distinct classes, side
by side, and to study their views in
parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over gulfs of
misunderstanding and if the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public a distinct service.
The farmer has been sitting on the
fence watching capital and labor fight
for many years and incidentally furn
ishing the sinews of war and it is
quite gratifying to find them talking
with, instead of about, each other.
When honest men smile and look into
each other’s souls, it always makes
the world better and far more satis
factory to the farmer, who in the end,
bears the burden of conflict, than
resolutions, speeches or pamphlets
containing charges and counter
charges.
The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates of government, for there is
no authority quite so commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de
cree quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense'and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite so
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light
ning flashes of avarice or frightened
by the thunder peals of discontent.
But Understanding is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right
man’s Income Is always a sacred
thing for in It are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself, and fam
ily, hut there is nothing in a human
heart quite so divine - as Justice and
Understanding is its handmaiden.
By Rev. Jno. -A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor St. John SI. E. Church. South,
St. Louis. Mo.
Some years ago, the question was
as"ked: What is a college? The at
tempt to answer it shook; the educa
tional world in America from center
to circumference. Another question is
now beginning to he asked: What is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed.
First, that of evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man in the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
a divine power, which lifts him out
of the bog and places, him npon the
highest levels of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship.
This alone were an immense priv
ilege.
Teaching the Art of Living.
The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean a specific thing in our
country, namely, the training of the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art of living. I am not now speaking
of the work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, hut the work
of education at our doors, In the con
gregation. Every agency In reach
should he employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could he made a sort of
university for all the people, in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase of the church’s work re
ceived anything like adequate atten
tion. The New Testament word for
it is Edification. ^
School of Religion Needed.
Of course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to he
named. It should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it to he
an all-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
mnsical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religions meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development of
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is-that of Christianizing
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit of Jesus into every nook and
comer of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.
Neighborly Love Essential.
If religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious busi
ness, for it will let no comer of the
world escape its influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not
thing to be practiced in a comer the
better for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can it he made to square
with the human reason? Of the nine
teenth, Can it he made to square with
the results of scientific research? Of
the twentieth, What can it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love of
God, whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, if he
is" a genuine follower of the Christ.
It is the mission of the church—the
rural as well as the city—to evange
lize the whole world, to train to the
highest -degree of efficiency those
whom it evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.
It Is an admitted economic fact that
there can be no permanent prosperity
without a permanent agriculture.

ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the world’s affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvelous industrial acMevements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy In trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lems of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the world’s
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let ns consider separately our Rail-
'ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex

Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap

wages, and we have the most efficient

world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvelous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign qountries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
vestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com

No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its

Their acMevement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of

The industry was peculiarly fortun
