That Virginla-Carnlina Fertilizers are far superior to any other fertilizers Is
proved by the experience of Mr. 1>. M tirithn, 1>. I)._S. of Plant City, Fla.,
who says: “1 was truckinjrpn a small ■ cale, and decided I would try a few
sacks ot your fertilizer, as it was cheap and said to lie good. I [Hit it un- a,
der some tomatoes by the side of some other high grade fertilizer which g
cost me fir» a ton more, and in the same proportion per acre, I don’t fS
tliink I exaggerate in the least in saying that the yiejd where I used gj
Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers was three times that of wliere J used /R \

Intsreeting Pgculiaritina of the Late
Ruler of Pereia.
Muznffnr ed Din, the late shah of
Perafa, had mnny interesting peculiari
ties which are told by the authoni of
“Queer Things About Persia ”. “He
was nervous In the presence of Eu
ropeans. He used to stand writh one
hand on his scimiter and stroke his
enormous mustache with the other In
order to maintain his composure. As
has been said, he used to utter some
platitudes, such as: ‘Thank God we
have had a fortunate year. Raiu lias
been plentiful, and we hope that God
will make the harvest abundant’ If
he was in a genial mood he inquired
after the respective sovereigns: ‘What
are they all doing? Has the king of
England won the yachting race? Has
the kaiser killed many deer? Was the
sultan of Turkey pleased with the pres
ent I sent him lately? How is the
czar?’ To which the Russian minister
replied with forced politeness, ‘How
can hp be anything else but well since
he Is noticed by your majesty?’
“Muzaffar ed Din was a good man.
His court was paved with good inten
tions which he had not sufficient en
ergy to carry our. Unlike his ances
tors. he hated bloodshed, and while he
was on the throne Instances of capital
punishment were rare. Though he was
a great sportsman, a fine shot who
could hit with a rifle a coin thrown In
the air, lie was as humane to animals
as he was to human beings. Muzaffar
ed Din was very fond of music. He
detested thunder. Whenever It thun
dered lie used to take refuge in a vault
where the noise was drowned and had
a tnulah, especially appointed for the
purpose, to calm his misgivings.
“Not long ago among the new things
from Europe were little canoes in rub
ber which were blown out and took
the shape of a boat. The shah was
very Interested. They were tried on
the lake of a palace. Four fat nobles
were embarked in one whose valve
was partly opened, and the boat was
pushed from land. It slowly sank till
Its occupants were left floundering In
the water. The shah enjoyed himself
vastly, especially when they wore
brought out looking as drenched seals.
The poor men, though they got rheu
matism, were delighted to have made
the shah laugh. They received pen
sions on the spot.
“He was much Interested In photog
raphy. He Instituted a photographer
of state, who received $2,000 a year
and was expected to buy every new
patent that came out. Muzaffar ed Din
was photographed every half hour. If
he saw a European with a camera in
the street he used to stop to let him
take his photograph. Every kind of
machinery, from the most important
invention to penny toys, interested
him. It was characteristic of him to
pay no more attention to Marconi's dis
covery than to a shilling automatic
toy.”—Chicago News.
Missouri and Missourah.
We are perturbed to see that a Mis
souri scboolma’am has been telling the
Omaha people that the right way to
pronounce Missouri is “Mus-our-i,"
with an Italian “1.” It is not with the
letter “1” that we have any fault to
find, but with the elimination of the
English “i” on the first syllable. We
cannot find anywhere among the au
thorities on our language a precedent
for giving tin* second sound of “u” to
“1” except in Words like “bird,” “third”
and others where “r” follows it.
“Musslssippi” Is as good a pronuncia
tion as “Mussourl.” There are so
many mispronunciations of Missouri
that perhaps one more is not a much
greater distress. The chief pronuneia-
tory thorn In Missouri is “Missourah.”
This thrives like the burdock In the
barnyard. It Is hard to remedy that
twdst In the culmination of “Missou
rah.” There are politicians who take
“Missourah” along with them when
they go campaigning, as they do the
black slouch hat. At home they can
discard one as easily as they can take
off the other.
Then there are others who are rear
ed to “Missourah” as some lowans are
reared to “loway.” Arkansas wisely
decided to become “Arkansaw” by
law and stick to It, which leaves “Kan
sas” or “Kausaw” either right or
wrong. Missouri is “Missoury” by leg
islative enactment, and that ought to
settle it. for these are the days when
respect for legislative acts is extremely
marked.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat

A Nsgre by Brevet.
At the Array attA Ntvy dub In Wash
ington s number of old timers were
one evening swapping stories of Jie
civil war when General Young told of
a soldier in the Army of' the Potomac
who entertained some unique ideas as
to his financial value as well as of the
method by Which that value could be
realised. He was a white man and
was detailed for service as a teamster
in a train that was driven for the most
part by negroes. Tbe darkies were
hired at the rate of $25 per month, but
the white soldiers received no more
than the regular pay. $16. The man,
in question appeared somewhat dis
satisfied with this arrangement and
made an application to hit captain.
“I should like,” he said gravely, “to
be appointed n negro by brevet and be
assigned to duty in accordance with
my brevet rank.”—LIpptncott’s.

. RHEUMATISM
Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in tile
blood. It is not a disease which is contracted like a cold, but it is in the
blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather Of
any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance,
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. • Rheumatism is caused by sh
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, sr coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter,
and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every
physical movement. When tfce blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma
nent relief cannoflr be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment.o, Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer
Rheumatism and bring about a
complete cuu., 4 he uric acid and
The Pope and the Jew.
The Outlook of Denver says that it
is absolutely uufair to the pope to say
that he Is an euemy of Ernesto Nathan,
the new mayor of Rome, because Na
than is a Jew. The pope is fond of
telling this story: While he was a poor
bishop he was in need of 10,000 lire.
After having tried in vain to get the
money from several wealthy men in
Ids diocese he wrote to one Jacur, a
Jew, asking him for the amount. By
return mail came a letter with a check
for 10.000 lire, which Jacur asked the
bishop to accept on the condition that
he would consider “one-half of it as a
present from a friend.” Pope Plus has
repeatedly expressed himself In con
demnation of anti-Semitic movements.

' Sometime ago, I had Rheumatism and hftd to
quit work. The pain in my back and between
my shoulders was to intenaa I could not rest or
sleep. I tried everythinf, but nothing did me any
good till I heard of and took S. S. S. This med
icine cured me sound and well. It purified my
blood and made me feel like a new man.
CONRAD LOHR,
Anderson, Ind. 122 E. 12th St.
I waa severely troubled with Rheumatism. I
had it in my knees, legs and ankles, and any one
who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru
ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one
at work. I was truly in bad shape—having been
bothered with it for ten years, off and on. A
local physician advised me to use S. S. S. I did
so. After taking two bottles I noticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly seduced. I .continued
the medicine and was thoroughly curadj all pain,
soreness and infia nmation gone. I rdeommeod
S. S. S. to all Rheumatic sufferers.
