ROBBED MAN OF 51,500. Lightning Way of Calculating Interest One of the shortest and most sim ple methods known for calculating in’ terest is to multiply the principal by the number of days and divide as follows:’ For 4 per cent divide by 90. ' For 5 per cent divide by 72. For ti per cent divide by 60. For 8 per cent divide by 46. Then point off 2 decimal places. For instance ,to find Interest on 5260,40 for 92 days, at 5 per cent, multiply 5360,40 by 92, divide by 42 and point off 2 decimal places. The result Is 54,6051, or 54.61. The explanation of this Is very aim' pie. The slow method would be to find the Interest on one year by mul tiplying by per cent .then to divide by 368 ot find Interest for one day, and then to multiply the number of days, or 92. In this short process you multiply by the number of days first, then divide by 72 Instead of first multiplying by 5 and then dividing by 360, (which amounts to tho same thing. Then you point off your two declmrl places last Instead of doing so when you multiply by 6 per cent. The Money was In a Belt Which was Cut Open. Savannah, Ga.

OLD PEOPLE CONSTANT SUFFERERS Most old people are great sufferers in Winter. They ^ WIN - Eft ore seldom free from pains or ailments of some description, because they are not os able to withstand the severity of the climate, with its damp, changing weather, as are their younger, more vigorous companions. Cold Weather starts the old aches and pains; they suffer with chilly sensations. cold extremities, poor appetite and digestion, nervousness, sleeplessness and other afflictions peculiar to old age. With advancing years the strength and vitality of the system begin to decline. The heart action is weak and i rrc;;u- lar, the blood becomes thin and sluggish in its circulation, and often 1 some yld blood taint that has lain dormant in the system for years begins to man- fest itself. A wart or pimple becomes a troublesome sore or ulcer, skin dis eases break out, or the slight rheumatic pains felt in younger days rew cause sleepless nights and hours of agony. There is no reason why old age should not be healthy and free from disease if the blood is kept pure and the system strong, and this can he done with S. S. S. It is a medicine that is especially adapted to old people, because it is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, selected for their purifying, healing and building-up properties, and is very mild and gentle in its action. 8.
