Rheumatism? Here
Are Some Real Facts
How to Overcome the Tor
ture Without Harm
ful Drugs.
A v'*lnn of people have used 8. S. S. and
have overcome the worst forms of rheuma
tism.
This fllnense of the blood Is little under
stood because of Its strange symptoms,
scarcely two people having It exactly alike.
And yet, no matter what its form or bow
Painful and distressing, S. S. S. seems to
have almost a divine Influence in driving It
out, releasing the nerves from pain and clear
ing the joints and muscles so the.v work with
out restraint. The best explanation for this
happy result Is the fact that In S. S. S. are
certain ingredients which act as an antidote.
They are nature's providence to man.
Just as the meats, fats, salts and sugars of
our daily food provide us with nourishment,
po does S. S. S. give to the blood the exact
iredlclnal requirement to clear the stream,
rlrive out Impurities and reconstruct the
body If destructive germs have gained a
foothold. Go to any drug store today and
fcet a bottle of S. S. S. It will do you good.
But be sure to refuse any and nil substitutes.
And If yours is a stubborn ease, write to the

name by virtue of his distinguished family
and a foremost doctor on his own merits.
1 EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at first sign of Blad
der irritation or
Backache
The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kidney
trouble, because we eat too much and
all our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid, which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish, the eliminative
tissues clog, and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a gen
eral decline In health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
upells, acid stomach, or you have rheu
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid -of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, ' and has been used for gen
erations to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source of
Irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
llthia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.—Advertisement.
TO DARKEN ill
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young ! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Thickness
Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur and alcohol
added will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxu
riant, remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp Itching and falling hair.
Just a few applications will prove a
revelation If your hair is failing, gray
or dry, scraggly and thin. Mixing the
fiage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,
though, Is troublesome. An easier way
is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing
about 60 cents a largo bottle at drug
stores known as "Wyeth's Sage and
f lphur Compound," thus avoiding a
lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning all gray
hairs have disappeared, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant.—Advertisement.

YOUTH 15 TIME OF
GREATEST HEROISMS
Courage Is Greatest, Patriotism
Purest and Religion Is Most
Genuine and Natural
DAVID AND GOLIATH PROVE IT
J International S. S Lesson For April
25 Is "David and Goliath,''
I Sam., 17:38-51
By William T. Kills
I As always, when unfamiliar war
bursts upon its gaze, civilization cries
out aghast, "Why, these soldiers are
| only boys!" It has never been other-
I wise; all the great wars have been be
| gun by armies of youth. Youth is the
i lighting time. The hot blood of early
manhood is heroic; it dreams and it
dares. If the supply of young hearts
should fall, there would be no wars
I'waged against heavy odds of oppres
sion, injustice and poverty. Was there
i ever a great reformer who did not be
jcome such In the days of youth? Men
land women past middle life are not
I enlisted anew in any of the mighty
battles for God and humanity.
No; it needs a boy David to run
jauntiy—actually to run—toward the
I heavily-armed giant who approaches.
The hearts of veteran soldiers turn to
water before the taunts of Goliath;
but David is but quickened for the
struggle; and he gives a word of faith
for every heathen taunt. With the
story of David and Jonathan before us, :
and with all history supporting it, the
marvel is that so many of the causes
which call for heroism do not make
their appeal to the colleges, the young
people's societies, the Sunday schools,
instead of wasting time cultivating the
favor of the established and the great.
President Wilson recently said, with
characteristic courage, when pleading
for the education of southern moun
taineers, "It 1s very amusing some
times to see the airs that high society
gives itself. The world could dispense
with high society and never miss It.
High society is for those who have
stopped working and no longer have
anything important to do."
Before we go into the day's lesson
upori David and Goliath, let us get a
real grip upon this underlying truth,
that youth is the time of heroisms.
Then it is that courage Is greatest,
patriotism is purest, ideals are knight
iiest and religion is most genuine and
natural. Every person of advancing
years needs to fear, even more than he
fears the hardening of his arteries,
what Longfellow calls,
"The hardening of the heart that
brings,
Irreverence from the dreams of
youth."
Knter the Giant
The combat between Goliath and
Dnvid has passed into proverb. No
Old Testament incident is better
known. It Is one of the hero tales of
religious history that has fired the
faith and fortitude of generations.
In accord with # the ancient usage
of trial by champion, the Philistines,
who had been routed by the bravery
of Jonathan and his arinor-bearer,
and had marched against the Israel
ites, offered to stake their case on
the prowess of the giant Goliath, a
heavily armed warrior more than
nine feel tall. Day after day this
blustering fellow came out into the
valley between the two armies, which
were encamped about sixteen miles
southwest of Jerusalem, and uttered
his defiances. The Israelites had no
champion to put forward. Day after
day this huge Philistine made them
eat dirt. The shame of cowardice was
eating into their souls as actual defeat
could not do.
Then appeared from Bethlohem,
bearing food to his big brothers in the
army, the shepherd boy David, son
of Jesse. Simple, unsophisticated,
thinking in the clear, broad lines of
those dwelling In the 6pen, he was
astounded by the spectacle of the hu
miliation of Israel by the giant. He!
had not learned to condition truth or
bravery or patriotism; he could under
stand risking one's life in pursuit of
duty—had done It, in fact—but he
could not comprehend how a child of
God could be a coward.
Indiscreet remarks to that effect
earned him a severe rebuke from his
big brothers, who did not relish hav
ing heroism talked in the presence of
their cowardice. Persons who have
compromised with evil resent the rash
audacity of reformers. The petulence
of "stand-patters" who should be
counted upon for righteousness, is
sometimes harder for a progressive
person to bear than the open assaults
of those whom he expects to find ar
rayed in clean-cut opposition. Da
vid's brothers wounded him more
deeply than it was in the power of
Goliath to do.
Persisting in his purpose (for the
courage of perseverance is usually as
greatly needed by a hero as sheer
audacity in the face of danger), David
won a chance to go up against this
heathen tower of insolence. At first
they tried to outfit him in Saul's ar
mor: but Davkl knew that every man
fights best In his own way. Heroes are
not custom-made. So on a great day,
with every soldier and camp-follower
In Israel looking on eagerly and pity
ingly, and with many feeling stabs of
self-accusation, the shepherd lad sal
lied forth jauntily to meet the redoubt
able Philistine champion, at the hour
of his daily defiance.
A Shepherd's Sling—Plus
Mrs. Grundy first makes slaves of
us; then she uniforms us, making
each slave as much like the other as
possible. She Irons out our individual
ity and suppresses our personality. The
great game of society is to reduce
everybody to a dead level of unifor
mity and conventionality. A man
whose lot is cast much with "society"
said to me last night, "Tho one crime
that is recognized south of Market
street is not to be 'nice.' " The world,
given a choice in the matter, wants no
soldiers who are not outfitted In Mrs.
Grundy's shop—and the old dame had
a branch establishment In the camp!
of the Israelites, when they tried to fit
David out in the armor of Saul.
Those clear eyes of which
were more accustomed to tho life of
the open field than to that of the
camp or court, perceived plainly that
his strength lay in following his own
fashion, and in being true to his per
sonality. Saul or Goliath could out

fight him with the conventional tools
of the warrior's trade- M3ut, out on
the hillside, he had learned to sling
a stone farther and faster and straight
er than Goliath could hurl a javelin.
Simpler weapon than David's sling
was never imagined. I have one
which I bought from a shepherd boy
on a Judean hillside. The hoy him
self had made it. as doubtless David
had made his, from crudely-twisted
goat's hair. It is merely a long, thick
cord, expanded near the center into
a pocket to contain the missile. One
end, longer than the other, is wrapped
about the wrist; the short end is held
between thumb and forefinger. A
stone is inserted, the whole is twirled
around the head, the short end Is re
leased—and straight to Its mark files
the stone, with the accuracy of a rifle
bullet.
A glorious company, militant men
of God, are these of whom David In
one. Their faith had arms and feet,
as well as vision. The monk Tcle
machus put an end to the gladiatorial
Karnes by darinp to sacrifice himself.
A southern soldier, the Rev. Dr. Hamp
ton C. Dubose, had the faith and au
dacity to attack China's opium evil,
and he lived to see .the "Impossible"
accomplished. A few j?odlv women
threw down the gaze of battle to the
evil in America; und now na-
tlonal politicians by the score are
scrambling to get into their train.
Whoever goes up against established
wrong will be called "Fool," "rash,"
"unsafe," "indiscrete," even as was
David; but only they who so dare ever
slay any giants.
Follow Your Gleam
A single pebble from the spurned
shepherd's simple sling smote the
giant to the dust, with the victim's
own sword David cut oft the boast
er's head. The immortal victory was
won so easily that a thousand men
in Israel were saying to themselves,
"I could have done that." Of course
they could—if they had possessed
the hero spirit. It is not skill or
equipment that the war for the
world's we 1 faro needs, but simply pur
pose. Given the David motive, and
we could have an army of Goliath
slayers. Why has your neighbor done
a great world-service, and won honor,
while you are unknown even through
out your own township, when vou are
an abler man than he? Simply be
cause he had the spirit which you lack
ed.
That is to say, David had conquer
ed the giant inside of himself befrre
he essayed Goliath. When the foes
within —fear, despondency, distrust,
selfish pride and craven-heartednesS
h—have been mastered, there is 110 t-
ing to dread from those without. The
material world is subordinate to the
spiritual; "Man is one world, and has
another to attend him." The Bible,
which above all other books, portrays
fundamental truth in the flash of a few
words, put the universal observation
thus: "He that ruleth his spirit is
greater than he that taketh a city."
Nobody need sigh in vain for David's
opportunity; the most dangerous
giants are within the Citadel of soul.
Homely and practical is the other
lesson that lies on the surface of this
story of David the giant-killer. He
tackled a big task. When the boy go
ing into his first suit of long strousers
displays a consuming Interest In his
collars and ties and hosiery, and in
the way his hair is combed, we can
smile indulgently, for this is usually
but a passing phrase, and he is still a
boy. But when that boy becomes a
young man, and continues to find his
chief interest in the way he is dressed,
we are alarmed, because his soul has
ceased to grow. He has missed youth's
heroic pursuit of great goals.
Pity the boy who does not find
giants to attack and noble causes to
defend. David comes to teach us to
put patriotism above life; to dare
death for the honor of Ood; to cham
pion the needy causa at the risk of
all. .Would that this lesson study.
might produce new knights to ride in
to the world's lists in behal* of China,
of the plucky Montenegrins, of poor,
gone-to-seed Persia; of the overlooked
classes in America: of an intelligent
democracy; and of a clean, efficient
church. There is David-work for all
who dare dream. So, as Tennyson
sings,
"O young Mariner,
Down to the haven,
Call your companions,
l.aunch your vessel
And crowd your canvas,
And, ere It vanishes
Over the margin,
After It, follow It,
Follow the Gleam."
