RHEUMATISM
WEM KIDNEYS &THIN BLOOD
Not only is the blood the great
lourishing source of our systems, but
equally as important is its work oi
removing the waste of oxodized tis
sues which have been consumed in
force and bodily heat. This waste is
altered out through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become
weak and unable to perform their
regular duties, the waste is allowed
to remain in the circulation, soon
forming uric acid which destroys the
greater portion of nourishing elements
of the blood and leave it weak and
acrid. This imperfect blood deposits
into the different muscles and joints
the uratic impurity with which it is
contaminated. Then the pains and
aches of Rheumatism commence. The
gritty formation which uric acid
causes collects in the joints and pro
duces the aches and stiffness which
always accompany the disease. Like
wise the muscles are coated and lose
their elasticity, whiie the continual
irritation to the nerves produces swell
ing and inflammation of the flesh.
S. S S. cures
Rheumatism in
the only way it is
m m possible to over
come the disease;
ill lls it cleanses the
li ■ blood of all uric
acid poison and
strengthens the
kidneys so they
are enabled to properly filter out the
waste. S. S. S. is not only the best of
blood purifiers, but a fine tonic. Book

HOBBLE SKIRT SHOCKS
COURT DOOR-KEEPER
Woman Lawyer With Tight
fit Stirs Capital.
Washington, Nov. I.—Has the hobble
skirt invaded the supreme court of the
l nited States? There is no rule of
the court, since Belva Lockwood open
ed the way for the admission of wo
men to the bar in IS7O, which says
t'bat skirts shall not be hobbled.
Tbe person who has ,precipitated all
the discussion is Adelma H. Burd, of
New York, admitted to practice during
the early part of this year. She is in
terested in two cases before the court.
When she appeared today at the court
wearing a skirt that was tight, -with
a suspicion of a hobble cut, and pro
ceeded to take her seat within the in
closure reserved for members of the
bar, the doorkeepers were on the point
of blocking her way. But Miss Burd
is so unmistakably ca-pable looking
that the doorkeepers -paused. There
was a hasty investigation.
It did not seem likely that women
lawyers who attained the dignity o?
practice before the supreme court
would 'be so swayed by feminine emo»
tioris as to don a skirt that showed
tendencies toward the babble idea.
Some of the court officials were net
certain i n their own minds that ihe
hobble feature was there, so Miss Burd
was not molested. She is likely to go
down in history- as the first woman
Who, by her appearance before the
supreme court, proved that -her sex can
ittaifa the greatest distinction in store

them what is regarded a-s the feminine
devotion to the dictates of fashion.

ELKS HERE MAY HELP
TO ADVERTISE STATE.
Plan They Will Be Asked to
Help Put Through.
Will the-Elks of Americus, with their
accustomed enterprise and devotion to
the interests of the community and
state, join hands with the Elks
throughout Georgia in the successful
carrying out of the great scheme that
was .proposed at the last state con
vention to advertise Georgia and -put
it before the Elks of the entire coun
try through their representatives at
the next Grand Hodge meeting.
The Americus Elks have never yet
fallen down on any proposition that
had the good of Georgia or of -Sum
ter county in view anfi it is not prob
able that they will be derelict in this
instance. By joining hand-s -with, the
Elks of Georgia generally they will
be in position to see that the queen
county of Southwest Georgia is de
cidedly to the front in the display of
its great sources of n-aturad wealth.
The plan is for the Georgia Elks
to reserve an entire floor at one of the
hotels at Atlantic City, where the
Grand Hodge meets in 1911, and devote
much of the -space to an exhibition
of Georgia -products. It is proposed
to have a Georgia delegation present
of from 350 to 500 -members, who will
gather at some city in the state and g;
by special trains. -A state uniform
will be used for the occasion. *
At the last convention of Elks the
advertising plan was suggested by Dr.
R. P. Iziar, of the Waycross lodge, for
many years exalted ruler, aud a past
district deputy for the order. He held

Robert Marniioii Hunts a Job in Order
to Be Married.
Washington, November I.—Robert T.
Marmion, son of late Rear-Almirul
Marmion, believes his future happi
ness depends upon securing a position
within several days. Robert made
several unsuccessful attempts to -mar
ry Mis-s Virginia Darden, 16 years old,
-yesterday and in the end was forced to
admit hi s plans defeated. He is only
19 years old, -and Mrs. -Marmion, the
widow of the Admiral, is inclined to
consider the marriage, but only on
condition th-u-t Robert secures a posi
tion. Miss Darden is tbe daughter of
a saleswoman, which caused -the pri
mary objection to the match. Her
mother was anxious to have the young
woman placed in a convent, but the
youthful lovers have overcome ,a large
portion of the parental objection. A
reminder of their attempts to get mar
ried yesterday was a note on tbe -desk
of the marriage license clerk of the
court -today, -which read: “Refuse to
marry Robert Marmion, aged 19, -and
Virginia Darden, aged 16.”

WORLD’S GREATEST
FARMER IS NO MORE.
Georgia's Jim Smith May

(Savannah Morning News.)
David Rankin is dead at t'he age of
eighty-five. He Jived at Tarkio, Mo.,
and became famous as the biggest
American farmer—biggest in number
of acres tilled and profits taken. At
the time of his death he bad more
Chan twenty-three thousand acres un
der cultivation, divided into fifteen
farms. There were on his pay roJl last
year upwards of five hundred men.
His profits during the past ten years
are said to have averaged SIOO,OOO an
nually. TLte value of his estate >s
estimated to be in the neighborhood
of $<5,000,000.
David Rankin began life barefooted
and with little more Chan .a straw hat
and plenty of pluck. iHe was just
aibout as poor as a boy iwith stout
limbs and hearty appetite could be
called. He went to work on a farm
for just a bit more than board and
cloti.Os. The first money he got be
put it into land. Then he got a lit
tle anore money, and (PJt that into
land. As soon as he had become a
farmer for himself ho acted on the
principle that it paid better to mar
ket corn and oats on the hoof than in
the grain, so be made a specialty of
stock raising. Last year he sold 10,000
head of cattle and about 10,000 hogs.
For fifteen years he hasn’t sold a
grain of corn, hut in that time he
bought tens of thousands of bushels
of it, to feed to his cattle and hogs.
Mr. Rankin ran his farm just as
a hanker does his bank. He had his
force of bookkeepers and monthly bal
ance sheets were struck. The owner
knew precisely what was coming in
and what was going out all the time.
He farmed for (profit, not for fun,
though he probably got a good deal
of fun out of it. His career is an
example and an inspiration. Now that
Rankin of Missouri is dead, it is quite
likely that he have right here in
Georgia the biggest American farmer,
in Smith, of Smithsonia.
