RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOME-MADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
gist in Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.
A well-known authority on Rheu
tnatism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip
tion pharmacy at small cost, a*id, be
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.
THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.
She was a Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
“The kiss,” she said, blushing faint
ly, “was unknown in Japan 50 years
ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
“Yet it comes as a great shock at
first. It is so different, you know,
from anything in a Japanese girl's ex
perience. I have known maidens who
fainted at a first kiss that was per
haps too warmly tendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent
advocates of the new western em
brace.
"Frankly, I like the kiss myself. Its
stimulus, and the feeling, as of red
satin, when mouth touches mouth
with a warm, soft shock—yes, frank
3y, I like the kiss, and I find it ex
tremely difficult to deny an eager
young man so innocent and so delight
Jlghtful an embrace.
BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body—Tore at Flesh
—Cured by Cuticura.
“My little son, when about a year
And a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and a half of suf
fering he grew so bad I had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skele
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
cent to the drug store and got a cake
cf Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel
don, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn.,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
local application*, as they cannot reach the dl»
•sued portion of the ear. There la only one way to
cure deafness, and that 1» by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
cut of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

JUDGE RIDDICK DEAD
One of Arkansas’ Eminent Jurists
Passes Away.
Arkansas is again called upon to
mourn the passing away of a promi
nent and favored son in the person of
James E. Riddick, associate justice of
the Arkansas Supreme Court, whose
death occurred at his home in Little
Rock on last Wednesday of typhoid
fever.
Judge Riddick had been ill for some
time, but it was only for the last two
week,s that his condition was consid
ered grave. Overwork during the
spring and summer months had made
such inroads upon his system that
his physicians advised a Northern trip,
and while away the first symptoms of
typhoid appeared. On his return to
Little Rock in September he was con
fined to his bed and since then the de
cline lias been apparent up to the time
of his death.
The funeral services occurred Thurs
day morning from the First Methodist
church, South, with the pastor, Rev. T.
E. Sharpe in charge. The gentlemen
who acted as pallbearers were: Hon
orary—Joseph M. Hill, B. B. Battle, C.
D. Wood, E. A. McCulloch of the Su
preme Court, Senator James P. Clarke,
W. E. Hemingway. Joseph W. House
and John M. Moore.
Active—T. D. Crawford, P. D. Eng
lish, W. L. Terry, W. E. Atkinson, C.
T. Coleman, Jesse C. Hart, J. H. Har
rod and Lewis Rhoton.
During the day all offices in the state
capitol were closed and all Circuit
Courts of the State now in session,
were adjourned out of respect to the
memory of the eminent jurist.
James Edward Riddick was born at
Macon, Fayette county, Tenn., August
29, 1851. He received his literary edu
cation at Macon Masonic College after
which he taught school for a time
near Galloway, Tenn. He next pur
sued the study of law in Cumberland
University, at Lebanon, Tenn., later
matriculating in the law department of
Michigan University at Ann Arbor,
where he received the degree of LL.
B„ in the class of ’72. Upon his grad
uation he returned to his home in Ma
con, but did not linger long. Instead
he located at Gainesville, in Greene
county, Arkansas, and attracted a large
practice in his profession.
About 1877 his name was w'idely
mentioned as a candidate for prosecut
ing attorney, and at the instance of
his many friends he entered the con
test and won over his opponents easily.
While in Gainesville he met Miss
Emma Mack, the daughter of Hon. L.
L. Mack, a prominent Green coun
ty lawyer, who had formerly occupied
the judicial bench. In 1879 he was
married to Miss Mack and the union
was blessed by five children, all of
whom survive.
The rising young attorney was later
sent to the state legislature and soon
after was elected to the circuit bench.
In 1884 he was one of the presidential
electors at the time Cleveland and
Hendricks went into office.
Upon the resignation of Associate
Justice W. W. Mansfield, in 1893, he
was appointed by Governor Ftshback
to fill the unexpired term, and by his
equitable decisions and well-grounded
knowledge of the law he steadily rose
to a high place as a jurist. At the ex
piration of this term he was elected
to the state supreme bench, which po
sition he held up to the time of his
death. Since his elevation to the Ar
kansas Supreme Court he handed
down a number of notable decisions.
Among these was the decision in
which he sustained the lower court
in convicting State Senator F. O. Butt
for bribery.
Besides his wife, Justice Riddick is
survived by five children—Walter and
Edgar and Misses Una, Maude and
Helen.
Decide for Yourself.
No greater evidence of weakness of
character can be show n than a con
tinual appeal to friends for advice.
At times we all need the counsel of a
good friend; but constantly to ask for
it is like constantly borrowing. Learn
to decide small matters for yourself
and learn to decide quickly. Better
make a mistake once in a while from
too hasty a decision than to form the
habit of indecision. It Is the first
milestone on the road to failure.
Rough on Attorney.
To defend the prisoner, a Georgia
colored man, the court had appointed
a young lawyer, but after the prisoner
had looked the attorney over, he said:
‘‘No, Mister Jedge, I reckon not. De
las' time I got in de penitentiary I had
a man dat looked ink him to defend
me, so des leave him out de case en
gimme ten years!"
Loyalty to a Friend.
Never permit yourself to comment
unfavorably upon a friend. if you
have a complaint, carry it in person
to the individual concerned. Loyalty
is the life breath of real friendship;
and if there was more loyalty there
would he fewer broken friendships.

A REAL “HOSS” RACE.
Country Fair the Place to See It at
Its Best.
If you would see a horse strap
ped, booted, braced and geared to
the limit, you must seek such a
track as you see at the old-time
country fair. Here comes an awk
ward flea-bitten gray which never
went under 2:50 in his life. He is
hobbled and checked and goggled, and
hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig
ging, and how he will get him out
again without cutting nim free with
a jackknife. A farmer with ' a
gray beard and twinkling eye ob
serves tcr-his neighbor:
"Last time John Martin had that
plug out on the road’ I told him he I
had the old cripple overloaded with
fust-aids-to-the-injured. Them straps '
that was cal'lated to hoist up his
knees must ha’ pulled too tight and
the critter was yanked clean off the
ground. What John was gettin' :
ready for was a race for flyln' ma- !
chines, not a hoss trot.”—From "The
Country Fair,” by David Lansing, in
Outing.
“Makes It Go Away.”
We simply can’t do without it. We
are not going to try. When Bobby
stubs his toe, it's “Ma, where's the
Lightning Oil?” When Lizzie burns
her hand or arm, it’s “Where’s the
Lightning Oil?” When little Dick’s
been playing with a bumble bee, it’s
“Where’s the Lightning Oil?” The
echo of all our afflictions is “Where’s
the Lightning Oil?” It's the balm that
makes the pain go way. Sincerely

Excusable.
“I suppose,” remarked the coy widow,
“that you are an advocate of early
marriages?”
"Oh, yes, I am,” replied the scanty
haired bachelor.
“Then,” continued the c. w., “why
is it you are still a bachelor?”
"That's quite another matter,” an
swered the Bachelor. “The only mar
riages I believe in are early ones, be
cause there is some excuse for youth
ful follies.”—Chicago News.
Well Qualified.
“So you want the position of ad
vance agent for our circus?” inter
rogated the manager. “Well, we need
a man who can ttir up some life
everywhere he goes.” “That’s me,
boss,” hastened the applicant. “Had
any experience in stirring up life?”
“You bet! I usoi to drive a street
sweeper and stirred up millions of
germs every day.”
Most Unhealthy Work.
According to a German physician,
Dr. Horn, miners age so rapidly be
cause of their unhygienic surround

of senile decay at the age of 50, be

vocation.
Her Good Advice.
“I am often asked by friends what
to do for skin troubles such as Ec
zema, Ringworm and similar afllic

Problems Concerning Wealth.
It’s easy to understand why so few
of us have money. Those who know
how to make it don’t know how to
keep it, and those who can keep it
can’t get it, and that’s the only reason
why they can’t keep it.

Not a Hit as an Improviser.
"Did you ever hear anybody Impro
vise?” he asked.
“No,” said she, and he sat down to
the piano and improvised for about an
hour and a half. At the end of that
time lie turned around, his face full
of expression, and said to her:
“What do you think of it?”
“Lovely!” she exclaimed. “Beauti
ful! I never heard anything like it!”
But this is what she said to the hall
boy when he was gone:
“If that long, lank lunatic who im
provises asks for me again, you tell
him I am out.”

OLD SORES
kept open
BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
Whenever’a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is' not pure and
healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms
legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.1
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every
old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.
Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can

BLOOD CANNOT BE CUT AWAY.
The cure must come by a thorough cleans
ing of the blood. In S. S. S. will be found
a remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind.
It is an unequalled blood purifier—one that
goes directly into the circulation and
pronfptly cleanses it of all poisons and
taints. It gets down to the very bottom of
the trouble and forces out every trace of im
purity and makes a complete and lasting
cure. S. S. S. changes the quality of the
blo*d so that instead of feeding the diseased
parts with impurities, it nourishes the
irritated, inflamed flesh with healthy blood.
Then the sore begins to heal, new flesh is formed, all pain and inflammation
leaves, the place scabs over, and when S. S. S. has purified the blood the
sore is permanently cured. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores.
