Bh i i t t v* il Out Il .longed Rheumatic condition of the blood interferes with the Heart’s functions and Is the Z * principal cause of Organic Heart Troubles. The history of cases of sudden deaths from 1 I yyr /fl) Z Heart Failure proves that ninety per cent of the persons stricken had been afflicted wlthW 7/ Rheumatism. All the blood in your body must pass through the Heart, over and over again,M V > '/ • hundreds of times during every twenty-four hours. Rheumatism is caused by the \ , ) ot Uric Acid Crystals in the blood and such a condition of the blood irritates the valves of /J ' y Heart, upon which life depends If the Rheumatic condition lasts, the injury gradually grows more / extensive year after year, until the entire structure of the valves is changed. It is the same as the hands of workers become hard and calloused, the sKln in places like pieces of horn, from continual contact with irritating substances. The Heart Valves become hard and stiff, the y same as RJheuma ic joints, instead of soft and pliable, are unable to worK properly, and in time inis i inability causes sudden death. If you are afflicted with Rheumatism, you must drive the Uric Acid from your blood, for your very life’s sake as well as your comfort and peace of mind and body.

IWL IF lOU NEED A MEDICINE YOU SHOULD HAVE THE BEST Although there are hundreds of pre parations advertised, there is only one that really stands out pre-eminent as a remedy for diseases of the kidneys, liver and bladder. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands the highest, for the reason that its remark able health restoring properties has been found to be just the remedy needed In thousands upon thousands of even the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root makes friends quickly because its mild and immediate effect is soon realized. It is a gentle, healing vegetable compound—a specialist’s pre scription. for a specific disease. Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything. A Sworn Certificate of Purity is with every bottle. For sale at ah drug stores, in bottles of two sizes—fifty cents and one dollar.

That particular portion of the index relates to the fol lowing: ’This right to regulate or prohibit the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors for use as a beverage is well established as being within the police powers of the state, to protect the pub lic aga'nsi the evils which result from the execessive use ot ardent spirits. "But. to say that the legislature has a right to forbid the manufacture or sale of every liquid regardless of the amount of alcohol it contains and regardless of tlie presence of other ingredients which prevent the use of the liquid as a bev erage. is to give an elastic construction tb. the right of legislation not warranted by constitution or law or supported by any respectable authority. The » • • life of the' individual are matters of his own choice and determination and can be abridged or changed by the ma jority speaking through the legislature only when the public safety, the public health, or the public protection requires it.”. Points Decided The index of points decided under the general heading of "liquor,” shown in volume four of appellate court reports, covers two full pages of the volume. It is the first volume of Georgia reports in which there have appeared so many decisions on liquor as to warrant a speeiuc classification in the index. GIVEN TIFiTfERM FOR KILLING FAMILY DECATUR. Ala.. March 2.—The Jury in the case of Bob Clements last night found the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed I.ls sentence at life, im prisonment. Clements was charged with the murder of Toni Edmondson’s entire family, in cluding Edmondson, his wife, mother and two children, last November, near Wood land mills, in <tlils county.

FLAMES FIBED BY “BLACK HAND” GANG I FIREY FURNACE IN NEW YORK TENEMENT CUTS OFF ESCAPE FOR VICTIMS, WH YDIE IN I THE TRAP. I ' NEW YORK, March 3.—Cut off from es ' cape by a burning stairway, ten persons I perished early today in a five-story tene i ment house at 372 Forty-seventh avenue. , I The victims, who were all Italians with i the exception of an unidentified French- : man, ranged in age from 60 to an infant i girl of five.

Thirty Families Savinl. There were about thirty families, most ly in the tenement house and i policemen and firemen rescued many of them by lafldaca Juul by* swinging them, across from windows to neighboring build ings. Several babies were thrown from the windows and caught by firemen who were standing on the extension ladders. The street floor of the building was occupied by the undertaking rooms of Patrick McDonald and the Lincoln res taurant, while Antonio Urso, a barber, occupied the basement. The .fire started in ■ the bettom of an air shaft and was discovered by Patrick Monks, a watch man, in the undertaking rooms. Monks pan upstairs and awakened the McDon ald family and Mr. and Mrs. McDonald and their four children were passed across the narrow alley way to the windows of an adjoining building whence they es caped. Monks then returned to the burning building, the haltways of which' were then blazing and filled with smoke He rapped on the doors of the apartments up to the third floor, awakening the oc cupants and then turned In a Are alarm. Most of the occupants of the tene ment were asleep when the Are began and many of them were overcome before awakening. Policemen Riley and Gal lagher obtained access to the upper floors by climbing to the roof of an adjoining | structure and creeping along a cornice to the rooms of an apartment occupied by Attilla Pasifo who with his wife and son, Louis, aged 7, were taken out of the window and carried along the cor nice to the adjoining building whence the firemen took them to the street. Children Unconscious Two other children of Pasifo were found unconscious on the floor, but were rescued by firemen. Evelyn Pasifo, aged four years, attempted to run down the stairs, and later her charred body was found on the stairway. A fireman found Miss Muianna Aranot unconscious in her rooms on the fourth floor and attempted to carry her down a ladder to a window, but was himself overcome. Other fire men saved tnem both. Three babies were taken from the rooms on the fourth floor by thrilling work of two firemen. Standing on an extension ladder outside the windows, Robert Nelson, one of the firemen, caught two of the children as they were thrown to him by other firemen from the windows. As Nelson started down the ladder with the two babies in his afms, the man again appeared at the window and called out: “I have got another baby here; catch It.” Before Nelson could reply, the man threw the baby out of the win dow, and Nelsdn, with two babies al ready in his arms, managed to catch the third and carried them all down the lad der to the street. - - Overcome By Smoke All but two of those who perished in the fire were occupants of tenements on the upper floor of the burned building. Apparently they were overcome by smoke before they could escape to the windows in the front of the house. The flames, passing up the hallways, burned out the rear ot the building, but the apartments in the front were not badly damaged. The work of rescue was delayed by the falling of three firemen from the second and third floors when their scaling lad ders slipped off the window sills. The firemen were net much hurt. Many of the occupants were taken down on scal ing ladders and later on extension lad ders which reached to the fourth and fifth floors. Firemen say the fire escape in the rear was clogged with refuse which had to be cleared off before they could mount. Family Is Trapped. The Travfsano family evidently were trapped in their rooms on the top floor and made no effort to escape. The bodies of the parents were found lying on a couch while the son and daughter were kneeling on the floor with their faces in their mother’s lap and seemed to have been suffocated while praying. The mem bers of the Filibertl, Gruppi and Placla families were found in their beds on the fifth floor where they had been over come by smoke while asleep. The belief that the fire was the work o7 a group of blackmailers arose from the statement of Antonio Urso, the bar ber, who said he had received a Black Hand letter about two months ago, de manding the payment of about S2OO to a man who he was to meet in the street. Urso said he paid no attention to tne let ter, expecting that others would follow. Firemen said that the fire seemed to have originated in a store room of the undertaker’s establishment which contain ed much inflammable material. MIMSTER KILLS VALET; CRAZED WITH DRINK TEMPLE, N. H.. March 3.—Crazed with drink George L. Marcotte, a valet in the employ of Brigadier General James Mil ler, United States army, ran amuck yes terday, and after shooting at several vil lagers, was shot and killed by Rev.

Originally the bill was designed to cov er the Appalachian and White monptaln ranges, but the house substitute makes its provisions applicable to all states. Mr. Weeks (Mass.).in conjunction with Mr. Lever (S. C.) repborted the measure. In opposing the bill, Mr. Smith-{Califc) declared that it not only looked to appro priations truly appalling in magnitude, but attempts to change tne policy-of the government in important particulars. “It is one of the most vicious measures ever presented to this house,”--asserted Mr. Madden (Illinois). Sooner or later he predicted a great scandal wouiu grow out of the legislation. ’ The bill also was advocated, by Messrs. Lamb (Virginia), Brownlpw (Tenn.),’ and Heflin (Ala.), while it was further op posed by Messrs Rucker (Missouri), Gar rett (Tenn.), Picket (N. C.), Payne (N., Y.), Underwood (Ala.), and Tawney, Min nesota. A charge of Mr. Beall (Tevas); ‘ that Massachusetts and South Carolina had joined hands in a ra.- on the treasury brought to his feet Mr. Lever (S. C.), who declared in supporting the bill that Mas sachusetts and South Carolina had join ed and would join hands in any great progressive movement. “We have had our quarrels,” he said.’’ “and we fought them out like men, and having turned our faces to the future, are marching on along the lines of pro gress and industrial and material devel opment.” VICTIMS IDENTIFY MEN UNDER ARREST LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 2.—The victims of the gang of swindlers under arrest here are today arriving'im Little Rock, and all of them have identified J. C. ’ Mabray, the alleged leader, and .one or more of the quartet. J. G. Kyle, of Decatur. 111., an aged farmer, who was swindled February 13, identified all of the men under arrest. Kile came here to Invest 310,060 and went to a horse race in the suburbs, ’ Sup plying his money for two hours to a bet ter, who was short. Mr. Kile went before the grand jury, today. It is believed that all of the men now under arrest will be indicted and several others who escaped when the raid was made,will also be cap tured. J. S. Tierney, of Streator, HL. also arrived today. He gave up 310,000 on a wrestling match in New Orleans, January 24, 1907. W. H McGrath, of Minneapolis, another victim, came in last night. He admits losing 310,000 on a race at Council Bluffs last summer, being “steered” into the game by an old college friend. Each of the victims have today filed suit against Mabray and his associates, and will follow the example of J. E. Cava naugh. who was also victimized, and at tach the box shipped to Davenport, la., which is supposed to contain 350,000. Henry Stockwell, a jockey in the employ of Mabray, who was formerly prominent on association tracks, confessed to the officers today, implicating others. Stock well was identified by J. S. Tierney, rs Streator, 111., as one of -the wrestlers in the match by which he was swindled out of SIO,OOO at the St. Charles hotel in New- Orleans. AMERICAN CLAIMS NEW GUN SILENCER NORTHFIELD, Vt.. March f.—C. C. Culombe. a graduate of Norwich uniTeraitr. announcea that be has perfected a gun silencer which rivals the Maxim device. He claims in addi tion that his contrivance eliminates the ncoil and makes black powder practically smokeless. A demonstration was given for the Northfield Gun club, recently, and it was declared a suc cess. Culombe’s in'cntion differs from Maxim’s in that it is not attached to tne end of the band, ent is made a part of the gun, extending tue full lergth of the barrel. ♦ WIND BREAKS ALL ♦ ♦ RECORDS FOR MARCH ♦ 4- March came in with a big rush -♦ ♦ —impetuously and blusteringly— ♦ 4- on Wednesday morning, when all ♦ ♦ all records for the “windy month” ♦ ♦ in point of velocity were broken ♦ 4- a wind that reached at 10 minutes 4- 4- before 12 o’clock the extraordinary 4- 4- sped of 58 miles per hour.

Will the teachers of Georgia get a part of their 1909 earnings before the end of the year? ’ ” It seems to be Indicated that they will, notwithstanding the $938,000 warrant ot February; 1, which Was used to pay all the state’s pensioners in advance and which left the treasury at low water kmark£ and notwithstanding, too, the de pression among the teachers themselves growing odt Ot their general acceptance of the theory that none of them would get any 1909 pay before next December. ’No authority at the state capitol is willing to be quoted to this effect No promise has been given Out, and, in fact. It is said a general understanding pre vails to the contrary. State School Com missioner Pound, whose office is daily be sie'getf with letters on the subject, is said to have come practically to the conclus ion that there was no hope for any ad vance of the 1969 apportionment before May at the earliest, and that even then the amount the state could distribute wculd be small. Nevertheless the prediction is safe, though unauthoritative, that an advance equally as large as that of 1907, which was 20 per cent, or $400,000, will be se riously discussed some time soon. Withoat this advance, so called, the teachers of the state school department would have to wait till the final date of tar payments, December 20, for. their money. The only exceptions to this would be the teachers in those counties that have been provident and economized and now have 1908 balances to their credit sufficient to enable them to proceed sev eral months during the present year without help from the state. Two or three counties, it is said, have even enough to run them through the whole year.
