W THE YALDOSTJ MUMIM AN INSIDIOUS DISEASE THAT BREAKS DOWN Rhenmat ism does not come on in a da}'; the THE STRONGEST causes that produce it work silently in the system for years. This insidious | disease beo sues intrenched in the blood, and some exposure to cold or damp I weather, or slight indiscretion brings on an attack. Poor digestion, stomach { troubles, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver, and a general sluggish condition of f the system are responsible for Rheumatism. Food souring in the stomach j poisons the blood, the failure of the Kidneys and Liver to act properly leaves [ waste matter and impurities in the system, which, coming in contact with I the natural acids of the Ijody, form uric acid. This is absorbed by the blood, S and as it penetrates to the muscles, nerves and bones produces the terrible f pains and aches and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. * Life is j made a torture by its excruciating pains, nerves are shattered, the health un dermined, and if the disease is not checked it breaks down the strongest con stitution. It will not do to depend on plasters, liniments, etc.; such treatment is helpful in easing the pain and reducing the inflammation, but does not reach the blood where the real trouble is located. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by purifying and invigorating the thin, acrid blood, driving out all impurities and poisons and sending a stremn of strong, rich blood to wash out all irritating particles that are causing the pain and inflammation. S. S. S. stimulates the PURELY VEGETABLE. sluggish organs to better action, tones up the e stomach and digestion, restores nervous energy and builds up the entire health. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic, and the cure is thorough and lasting. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice desired without charge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. SS.S.

Between Estimates and Result* Which Did not Exlat—A Difference In the Weighta of Balea Responsible for Much of the Alleged Difference in Flguree—A Plea for Uniformity in Statlatlcal Expression.

In dicated, did not actually exist. It was largely due to the fact that the census bureau .expressed the produc tion of tht.year in question In bales of 600 pounds gross weight, or 478 pounds net weight, as far as square bales were concerned, such bales con stituting 98.3 per cent of the crop. If Mr. Hyde had employed the same basis as that employed by the census bureau In reducing his estimate of the pounds of lint produced In bales I. e„ bad he given the figures repre senting production In bales of a gross weight of 500 pounds each, or a net weight of 478 pounds each, bis esti mate would have ^howt* 12,881,000 bales os having been produced.

Another satisfactory condition of affairs Is found In the country's great supply of gold.
