PR JPTLf DISAPPEAR
Crippled-up Sufferers Find 1
Relief After Few Doses of
Croxone & r e Taken.
It is needless to suffer any long- S
er with rheumatism, and be r11 j
crippled up. and bent out of shape j
with its heart-wrenching pains, j
vlKii you can surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak,
inactive kidneys, that fail to filter
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, and it Is use
less to rub on liniments or take
ordinary remedies to relieve the
pain. This only prolongs the mis
ery.
The only way to cure rheuma
tism is to remove the cause. The
new discovery, Croxone, does this
because it neutralizes and dissolves
ail the poioonpus substances and
uric acid that lodge in the joints
and muscles, to scratch and irri
tate and cause rheumatism, and
cleans out and strengthens the
stopped-up. inactive kidneys, so
they can Alter .all the poison from
the blood, and drive it on and out
of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever mad* for chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles and
bladder disorders. You will And it
different from all other remedies.
H’hero is nothing else <.n earth like
it. K matters not how old you are,
or how long you have suffered, it
is practically impossible to take it
Into the human system without re-
colts. You will flnd relief from the
firet few doses, and you will be
surprised how quickly all misery
and suffering will end.

Big Lumber Concern
In Receivers’ Hands
Half-Million-Dollar Coffee# County
Company Turns Business Over
to Creditors.
MACON, GA., May 2/—The Gray
Lumber Company, of Coffee County,
a half-miilion-dollar corporation, with
liabilities of $1 (>0,000, has been put in
the hands of receivers by Judge* Em
ory Speer, two of whom are B. B
Gray, the president, and W. T. An
deraon, of Macon. A third receiver
will be named to-morrow.

the Ocllla, Pine Bloom and Valdosta
Railroad, recently made an assign
ment to its creditors, who elected
seven trustees to operate the plant as
a going concern. Judge Bpeer held
that this waa an act of bankruptcy
and that it was necessary to name re
ceivers.

concurred in by the company’s oftl-
ci.als and resisted by the creditors
who named the trustees.
WASHINGTON, May 2.—The
lemon tariff controversy came up in
lh»* House again to-day, Republicans
contending that the rate on lemons
in the Underwood bill was too low
and Democrats directing their Are
at the Ualifornia Lemon Trust, l^mon
duties have been a source of dispute
for more than 20 years. The Under
wood rate on lemons is 24 per cent.
The present law carries lemons at 88
per cent.
Under the Underwood bill, Repub
licans said the Ualifornia lemon pro
ducers would lose control of all the
markets east of the Allegheny Moun
tains. The present law, Democrats
contend, gives them absolute control
of the New York market, despite the
cheapness of lemons raised in Sicily
and low freight rates across the At
lantic. Leader Underwood continued
to assert to-day that he would take
no action to shut off legitimate de
bate Republican members continued
to offer amendments so that their
constituents would not misinterpret
their possible silence as an indorse
ment of the pending measure.

duty on figs from 2 to 2 1-2 cents ft 1
pound. The amendment was reject
ed. lie then moved a similar in
crease on raisin’**, but was defeated.

sought a restoration of the Payne law
rate.s on olives, but his amendments
met the same fate. Olives are taxed
at 16 cents a gallon in the Underwood
bill.
Criticising the Democrats for levy
ing an annual tax of more than half a
million dollars on the poor man’s
mince pie, Representative Willis, of
< >lho. Republican, moved to place
Zante currants on the free list, but
was defeated.

Life Insurance Coi
OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Is not the Old Cosmopolitan which failed,

pany, of Atlanta, has been granted license of date May i,
