The Automobile Craze a Curse.
A tipusUt H«*rnM
Is the automobile craze a curse sent
upon our country to ruin it? If some
of the figures that lie hid in automobile
statistics do not show that, it would be
interesting to have some genius point
out what they do show.
The automobile is barely past the
Htage where it was classed as a novelty.

f)n the 16th day of August, 1888,
there bloomed in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. Mobley as lovely a human
flower as ever gladdened the hearts of
fond parents. For 21 years and two
months this winRome young lady, Au
relia Speer, brightened and sweetened
the home of her parents. Hope sang
alluring songs of a long and happy fu
ture, and beauty and grace held out its
golden promise. The deathless tendrils
of 'love intertwined her sweet young
life with thtit of the fond home circle.

Found Lost Baby Visiting Saloons.
New York.—Miss Addie Shor, who
broke into the Hrooklyn directory just
three months ago, had the time of her
young life yesterday. Some fools don’t
approve of young girls going into bus
iness, but what could the poor baby do?
She was seated in her car, a high-
geared 1D09 model, in front of her pa
rents’ home, No. 281 State street,
when a handsome stranger, whose
speech was steadier than his spokes,
came along and chucked her under the
chin.
It so happened that Addie’s papa and j eration.

far the greater part will be high-priced
high-power machines that is, pleasure
cars. The estimated average cost of
machines to be built next year is $1,160.
Think of 200,000 automobiles to be
bought by our people at an average cost
of $ 1,400! It seems now that everybody
who can afford to own an automobile is
already supplied, and that many who
cannot really afford it are also supplied.
Hut the builders will build 200,000 more,
and expect to sell them, and they must
have some fair idea as to what the de
mands of the trade will be. The Amer
ican people have simply gone automo
bile crazy. Because everybody who is
anybody has an automobile, everybody
else who wants to make believe they are
uomebody must also have an automo
bile.
At $1,400 each the 200,000 automo
biles will represent an outlay of $28.-
000,000 for the first cost of the ma

will incur a debt in this purchase which
they will not be able to bear? How
many will fail meet obligations which
they would have met otherwise? And

Sweet, pure darling! God Himself
bade thee unfold thy white wings,
and fly away to a bright and happy
home “in the land without a tomb.”
Her beautiful form rested among the

fourteen pounds by requirement.

CURES
RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is a specific blood fermentation, a souring
of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating
in the blood stream. This uratic impurity conics usually as
a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom
ach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be
of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct
effect on the eliminative members of the body, which prevents
the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse re
mains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric
acid, which the blood quickly absorbs.
Rheumatism is usually manifested in the joints and
muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and
stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The
pain of Rheumatism is caused-by the contact of tile sensory
nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes
to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiff
ening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly the blood
deposits the uric acid into the joints, and siowly the natural fluids are dried
up ami destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. Rheuma
tism is sometimes inherited, forlikeaU
blood diseases it can be transmitted to
offspring. This explains why some
persons are afflicted with the disease,
and suffer its pains, who have otherwise
been perfectly healthy.
S.S.S. cures Rheumatism and cures
it permanently. It goes into the circu
lation, and removes the uric acid,
purifies the blood, and in this wav
destroys the cause. S. S. S. changes
the blood from a sour, acid-steeped
stream to a rich, healthy fluid, which
quiets the excited nerves, eases the
throbbing muscles and painful joints, and filters out of the circulation tile
irritating matter which causes every painful symptom of the disease. When
the blood lias been purified and enriched by S.S.S., it nourishes the different
members that have been weakened and starved because of imperfect blood
