Every attack of rheumatism invites another. Worse than that it reduces the body’s power go that each attack is worse than the one before.

Maintaining the - quality of the blood thereforeis a ieason- able way.of preventing and combating rheumatism. That it works out in fact iz shown by the beneficial results in the treatment of rheumatism, acute, muscu- lar and articular, with the blood tonmic, Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. : That hundreds who take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their rheumatism get well is a fact beyond dispute.

It is customary in New Britain to regard the peeping the marshes as an unfailing indication of spring’s arrival and last night the frogs peeped: Spring is here! The robins also are regarded as an- they have been heard than a week. The frogs however, have settled the matter. Mere man did not neea the frogs and the robins to make him reaiize the arrival of spring today. It was in the air. Only the idler however, were able to respond to its call and among these idlers were the great un- washed, or the hoboes. The fallir off in the calls of these gentlemen &z the office of the (harll\ Organization 1 assured Miss E > Osborne, the agent, that spring has come and that the vagabonds have begun their per pathetic peregrinations. In other words, the hoboes have hit the trail. The Charity Organization of this city has been no more successiul with these pariahs of society than other . They arrive just before even- iag at the office and ask for a meal and a bed. “’sually they are irre- sponsible persons, their former en- vironment often being responsible for their condition, A bed and a meal make them comfortable unzil they can continue their wanderings.

His parents were sea- farers, and he had Dhecome a way- farer. He had visited every expos tion held during his life, working h way from town to town, Now he is going to San Francisco.
