Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism o Hoe e B BN e T iets, gives quicker: and more lasting relief than other remedies cost- ing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kid- meys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a npuuhl- physician says about Rheuma: “I have made a ‘most careful investigation of the form- ula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. I find Rheuma. far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and al- | together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. Lyons. _This_should any sufferer from 39¢ binhAmbuhmeSummFum—MTflfir Sewer System on View—Retail Merchants’ Association period for patriotic exercises, in keep- ing with recommendations of Com- missioner Ranger.

When the Westerly Board of Trade was organized it was generally sup- posed that the Westerly Retail Mer- chants’ association went out of exist- ence. It appears that there was never any formal disbandment, that it is not dead, but sleepeth. No more meetings were held, no more dues collected, no more new members admitted, no more business; but now there is a call out for a meeting, which states that im- portant business is to be transacted. It is said the meeting is for the pur- pose of creating sentiment against the demand of the newly-organizeq Clerks’ union, that the stores close on Mon- day evenings, and which means that stores will open only ome night a week. Many of the merchants have already agreed to close thetr stores on Monday nights, while a few object, and it Is believed these objectors are back_of ‘the call for the meeting of the Westerly Retail Merchants asso- clation.

Check up and see how nearl.y this comes to fitting in with your own ideas:— SENSIBLE cigarette must taste good. It must be cool and smooth to your throat and tongue. It must be properly mild — mild enough so that you’ll feel all right even though you may smoke more than usual. In short, it must be comfort- able. If it ism’t, it can’t be sensible. Fatimas are comfortable be- cause of the balance of their Turkish blend. The milder to- baccos in this blend are in such perfect balance with the richer, fuller-flavored leaves as to en- tirely off-set that uncomfortable, “oily heaviness” found in so many other cigarettes. You’ll notice the difference as soon as you try Fatimas. m&
