RHEUMATISM ARRESTED
Many people suffer the torturti ot
lame muscles and stiffened joints because
of impurities in the blood, and each suc
ceeding attack seems more acute until
rheumatism has in vadrd the whole system.
To arrest rheumatism it ia quite as Im
portant to improve your general health as
to purify your blood, ana the cod liver oil
in Scott's limulsion is nature'sfrreat blood
maker, while its medicinal nourishment
trenpthens the organs to expel the
Impurities and upbuild your strength.
Scott's Emulsion is helping thousands

Influence Comes With Experience-Mast
Learn to Be a Congressman.
Speaker Champ Clark is of the
opinion that Pennsylvania and
New England have greater in
fluence in legislation at Washing
ton by reason of keeping their
Congressmen long in office. This
opinion was expressed by the
speaker at a meeting of the Na
tional Press Club. He said:
"The New England states and
tbo cities of Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh long ago learned the
wisdom of keeping representa
tives in Congress for many terms
in that way their Congressmen
get important committee chair
manships and have much to do
with the enactment of legislation
Five Philadelphia Congressmen
who are serving in the House at
one time had a combined service
of 147 years. Philadelphia had
five 'fathers of the House' in sue
cession, and when the last one
died, John Da!zell, of Pittsburgh
became the next father."
Speaker Clark said a man must
learn to be a Congressman, and
declared that it is an unwise per
formance tor any district to
change representatives at short
notice.
The speaker cited as examples
to prove his assertion the careers
of many members who have serv
ed long terms in the lower House
of Congress.
The admonition of Speaker
Clark has direct application and
bearing on the present situation
in the 17th Congressional Dis
trict of Pennsylvania. Here the
people will soon be called upon to
choose between Congressman B
K. Focht, a trained and experi
enced legislator as well as a hard
worker and product of the mas
ses, and his opponent who is to
tally without legislative experi
ence, but who seeks to displace
Mr. Focht at this very time when
of all occasions since the Civil
War the country needs careful,
experienced and dependable men
who are for our country first and
always but who are not swayed
by every passing fancy and dan
gerous emotion.
Tnere is no gainsaying the po
tency of these facts, for where
would the country be if every
Congressional District in the
United States sent a green and
untried man to meet the complex
problems now confronting and
likely to confront the nation dur
ing the coming several years?
The force of the statement is ap
parent and the people will know
what to do. Adv.

A Rayo Lamp makes a heap of difference the dif

actually improves the appearance of a room.
Your dealer can show you special designs, specially
made for your very parlor, sitting room or kitchen,
and inexpensive, too from $1.50 up. Cleans easily
and lasts for all time.
Gives the best light when filled with Atlantic
Rayolight Oil the kerosene that burns without

And thousands and thousands of knowing house
