8,125,716 RHEUMATICS IN UNITED STATES

CAN ALL BE CURED BY URIC-O. If rheumatism continues to spread as it has In the past few years it would seem as though we would before long become a nation of cripples. The terrible destructiveness of this disease is apparent on every side of us. Almost nine out of ten of the cripples one meets had their affliction brought on by Rheumatism. How many thousands more there are that are hopelessly red-riden and whom we never see. Rheumatism, from the very nature of the disease, can never cure itself and if neglected is bound to grow worse rather than better. If you ever have any twings of Rheuatlsm, go to the druggist and get a bottle of Uric-O, the wonderful new Rheumatic Specific. It will cure you and it is the only treatment in the world that will cure you permanenly and thoroughly. Uric-O cures by its direct action on the muscles, blood and kidneys. It seeks out the poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acid and drives it from the system and it is only a treatment of such a nature that will ever cure Rheumatism. Liniments apd plasters only serve to drive it' from one spot to another. They never cure Rheumatism, because it is primarily a blood disease, and until the blood is cleared from'the poison a cure cannot take place. You can test Uric-O free of charge if you wish. Just cut out. this advertisement and send it to the Smith Drug Co., 419 Smith Bldg., Syracuse, N. Y., together with your name and the name of your druggist. They will give you an order on his for a 75cent bottle free, which you can test and try to your own satisfaction. Urlc-0 is sold and personally recommended in Rensselaer by A. F. Long.

A Steady Drain

SICK KIDNEYS WEAENS THE WHOLE BODY—MAKES YOU ILL, LANGUID AND DEPRESSED. Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual drainage of lifegiving albumen from the blood into the urine, and the substitution of poisonous uric acid that goes broadcast through the system, sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of albumen causes weakness, languor, depression, Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks in the back, gravel and kidney stones. The proper treatment is a kidney treatment, and the best remedy is Doan’s Kidney Pills. Great Rensselaer cures prove it. John Coen, 433 North Cullen street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “My kidneys were much disordered and did not seem to act as freely as they should. The secretions were always highly colored, and plainly showed that my kidneys were affected. I suffered from lame back, was restless at night, and as a consequence, was very tired and weak during the day. I doctored for these troubles, but got" Wthing* that would give me re* lief. I finally procured Doan’s kidney pills at B. F. Fendig’s drug store and used them according to directions. They helped me at once as they made the kidneys more active, and the secretions were copious and clear. They soon helped my back, and I was able to rest better at night. My health is much better since using Doan's Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50c. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

“Don’t Mention It.” Mr - Onthespot, with the firm attitude of one who declines to admit any previous acquaintance whatsoever. “Why, I thought you both were at Helen’s house party!” exclaimed the pretty girl, reprovingly. Mr. Onthespot politely swung his chair around from the fire before he entirely banished his lowering brow. “So we were,” he confessed. “Names slip one’s mind so. But Ido remem- , her your face now, Hardtack! Pardon me!”

“Don’t mention It!" said the young man by the table. “I’ve tried to get down here to see you before, Miss Jones,” continued Mr. Hardtack. “It’s too bad,” murmured the pretty girl, abstractedly. “You are so popular, Mr. Hardtack —so many engagements!” “Oh, not at all! ” protested the young man. “You —you are looking as blooming as ever,” he added with the awkwardness that comes from having to speak before an unsympathetic listener, yet with the doggedness of determination. “More so!” put in the young man by the fire, victoriously. “Impossible!” triumphed the young man by the table. “It—it was so nice of you to remember me,” she .offered as oil on the troubled waters. “Oh, I always do that,” said the young man by the table, settling back in his chair. “You see, you’re not the sort of girl one could forget if one wanted to.” The young man by the fire crossed one knee over the other and stared up at the picture molding as if nothing on earth interested him. “Too bad we haven’t a fourth,” said Mr. Hardtack; “we could have a game of bridge.” "I,” sharply said the young man by the fire, coming down from the picture molding with a thud, “am quite content just as we are—were —that is, are, I mean! Too bad you are bored Hardtack.” “Oh, Mr. Hardtack did not mean that,” said the pretty girl, hastily., "It—it was so nice of you to come. Have you been well all winter?” “I’ve had a little cold,” explained Mr. Hardtack. “Beyond that my health has been very satisfactory. I idways take care of a cold in time, don’t you, Miss Jones?” “Oh, dear me, yes,” answered the pretty girl, absent-mindedly. “When I was a child,” went on Mr. Hardtack, firmly, while the young man by the fire frowned at his clasped fingers, “I used to have such dreadful colds that my mother was afraid I’d have lung fever every winter. Many a night has she sat up with me.” “How sweet of her!” said the pretty girl. “Have you seen Bob and Jessie lately?” “I dined there,” said Mr. Hardtack, "last Thursday—no, it was last Wednesday, I am sure, because it was the day my new dress clothes were due, and I remember It was 5:30 before the boy brought them—no, It was Thursday, after all. I was at another dinner Wednesday night How stupid of me to mix things so! Yes, I saw Bob and Jessie last Thursday night!”

There was silence. Then Mr. Hardtack, with a glare at Mr. Onthespot, rose. "I have another call to make,” he said. "I must be going.” As the outer door closed on Mr. Hardtack Mr. Onthespot swung his chair and the pretty girl's around facing the fire again and deftly swung them a little nearer to each other than they had been before. “Thank heaven be cleared out!” he said, savagely.

bright and cordial smile, so bright, indeed, that most persons would have been suspicious of it. “How do you do, Mr. Hardtack,” she said with all the sweetness a woman usually bestows on her victim before she plays him. “You are acquainted with Mr. Onthespot, are you 1 not?” The young man who had just advanced through the portieres and the other young ! man who rose protestlngly from his chair before the Are, close to chair in which had j sat the pretty girl, eyed each othe* with polite dislike. “I-^-er —possibly l we have met,” admitted Mr. Hardtack, sitting down stiffly by a table with an air of its being merely a temporary seat till the first caller should go. “Delighted to meet you!” said

Washington Whisperings

Interesting Bits of News Gathered at the National Capital.

Senators Are Not as Rich as Reported

WASHINGTON.— What else are congressmen besides congressmen? If they are not In congress, drawing salary from a grateful people, what would they be doing for a living? When the official questioner went around and asked the Sixtieth congress what its business was when it wasn’t congresslng 56 members of the senate and lower house —15 of one and 41 of the other, replied point blank that they were “public officials.” 1 Of course, in both houses the lawyears far outnumber everybody else put together. There are 54 professed lawyers in the senate alone, and no less than 235 nfore in the house—just 11 less than an even 300 all together. In this category reads the names one has heard before —Senators Teller and Bacon, Heyburn, Borah, Hopkins, Hemenway and Beveridge, Frye, Nelson, Depew, La Follette, Foraker and Dick, Penrose, Culberson and Bailey. In the house the lawyers are legion, with Nicholas Longworth, Burton, Tawney. De Armond, Littlefield, Crumpacker, Overstreet and the New York triumvirate of Bourke Cockran, Herbert Parsons and Sereno Payne. Bankers rank next in number, although there are but five in the entire senate, which seems like news— Taliaferro of Florida, Nixon of Nevada, Kean of New Jersey, Ankeny of Washington, and Reed Smoot of Utah. The house boasts 22 bankers, making 17 in all. The two senators from South Carolina confess that they are farmers, though that is more than anybody else in the senate will admit These are Senators Latimer and Tillman. Thus the latter remains loyal to his pitchfork. Two are merchants, Aldrich and Perkins. Buckley of Connecticut says

Woman Frail Thing, Says Supreme Court

tITOMAN is in a class by herself. v» She's frail. ‘ No matter how much she may hanker for the rights of men, the right of suffrage and other privileges, it is impossible to close one’s eyes to the fact that she is the weaker vessel and still looks to her brother for protection. This Is so, Susan B. Anthony and others to the contrary notwithstanding. The supreme court of these great United States says so. ■ In a decision upholding the Oregon eight-hour day law for women em-

Other Professions of Our Congressmen

SENATOR STEPHEN B. ELKINS Of West Virginia, rated as a multimillionaire, has arisen In protest against the current lists showing the wealth of the men who make up the "American house of lords.” One of the latest of these lists, printed a few days ago, set down Senator Guggenheim of Colorado at 660,000,000. Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin came second with 630,000,(WO and Senator Elkins was put third with a modest 636,000,000. "Discount those figures by >0 per seat," said Senator Elkina tn all serioasnees. as bo surveyed the names of hie very rich colleagues, "and they

insurance is his business. Lodge claims literature as a profession, and Platt is labeled, boldly enough, “President of Express Confpany.” Warren of Wyoming Is a stock raiser, Stephenson of Wisconsin a lumberman, Elkins of West Virginia a miner, and Hansbrough of North Dakota admits to an editorship. There are 13 farmers in the house, Including J. Adam Bede; nine manufacturers, four merchants, four insurance men, seven real estate dealers and as many lumbermen. There are also seven editors. There are five journalists, four miners find three publishers. There were two planters, because John Sharpe Williams was one before he graduated to the upper house. There is one mining engineer, one railroad constructor, one fruit grower, a “trustee" (probably the only professional one in existence), a builder, an everyday contractor, one lone capitalist, a miller, a stock raiser, a surveyor and a tanner. One says his occupation is “railroad,” and another says his is “stone." There are two nurserymen and four physicians, besides Hobson, who is put down as a “naval constructor,” and Champ Clark, who keeps on trying to prove that he is a lecturer.

How much are they worth in money, these lawyers and public officials and merchants and insurance men and farmers, who serve their country at Washington? Every third man in the senate is worth a million or more. There are 32 millionaires in the senate and 14 in the house. Thirty-two senators are worth, together, 1210,500,060. The 14 house millionaires are worth $83,000,000. “Retired” Senator Guggenheim is worth about $60,000,000. “Lumberman” Stephenson is worth $30,000,000. Express President Platt receives $30,000 a year in salary alone. “Merchant” Aldrich is worth $12,000,000. Do they all draw salary and every cent of perquisites they can get, these 46 millionaires who are worth the stupendous sum of $293,500,000? The answer is, they do.

ployes, the court perhaps for the first time in its history, told woman just where she stands. And a laundryman is responsible for this official pronunci amen to as to the rights of the fair sex. This thrifty Oregonian made his women employes work ten hours, the same as the men on his pay rolls. He was prosecuted under the eight-hour law, which was upheld by the state courts and again by the country’s highest tribunal. , , Holding first that women’s rights can be no more infringed than those of men, Justice Brewer, who announced the decision, went still further and held that on many accounts woman is entitled to greater protection than her brother. “Legislation designed . for her protection may be sustained even when like legislation is not necessary for men and could not be sustained,” he said.

will be more nearly correct. It Is the honest truth that many of the men listed in the senate by these writers as worth all the way from |1,000,000 to >60,000,000 each would be willing to take ten per cent.-»of these estimates in cash to-day.” Another senator, probably as rich as Mr. Elkins, but who would not allow his name to bo used, declares that fully one-fourth of the 92 senators have little else than their salaries of 37,500 a year. Another fourth of the 92 have somewhere between >20,000 and 350,000. Tho personal fortunes of another quarter of the senate range between 350,000 or >60,000 and >500,000. Most of this class of twenty-odd, the senator thought, were Worth between >IOO,OOO and >200,000. The other quarter comprised senators all worth >500,000, and probably 10 or 13 only entitled to be called millionaires, not multimillionaires, but simply worth from >l,fiH,fito to |l«.00«.0H.
