I waslaid up in bed for six months, and the doctors I had did me no good. They changed med icines every week and nothing they pre scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be gan the use of S. S. S. My knee and elbow joints were swollen terribly and at one time my ioints were so swollen and pain ful that I could not close them when opened. I was so bad that I could not move knee or foot. I was-getting discour aged, you may be sure, when I began S. S. S., but as I saw. it-was helping me I contin ued it, and to-day I am a sound well man and have never had a return of the disease. S. S. S. purified my blood and cured me of this severe case of Rheumatism after everything else had failed. I have rec commended it to others with good re sults. R. H. CHAPMAN. 1355 Mt. Vernon Ave. The poisonous acids that producethe in flammation and pain are absorbed into the blood and Rheumatism can never be con quered till these are neutralized, and: fil tered out of the blood and system. S. S. S. goes directly into the circulation and at tacks the disease itself. It purifies and re stores the blood to a healthy, vigorous condition. It contains no potash, alkali or other strong min erals, but is guar antee entirely vegetable. iWrite us and our physi- cians ,will advise {.-without any charge whatever.

Friday Evening, Normannaheimen WHERE HONESTY IS A COMMON VIRTUE "PUBLIC OPINION" PAYS HIGH COMPLIMENT TO SWEDEN.^ Policemen Ave Largely Ornamental, for Petty Thieving Is Almost an Un known Vice, Even in the Cities Norway Reports a Backward Sea son in the Herring Fisheries. It is necessary to have lived some time in Sweden to have gained an idea of the extreme honesty of the country, says Public Opinion. Thefts are rare, crimes still more so. The majority of the stores of Stockholm merely close their doors at night, the most precious stock being protected only by a sheet of glass. In fact, the policeman is merely an ornament. In the theaters a large room open to all is used as a cloakroom. Here everyone leaves his things without in any way guarding them, and there is never a loss. It is needless to say that this feeling of mutual confidence makes the spirit of the country a very delightful one. One of the most distinctive character istics of the Scandinavian spirit from time immemorial has been the re spect for women, and the most con stant form of the feminine spirit has been the love of battle and the desire to obtain the same rights as man. While the woman of the south has dominated by her charms, the woman of the north has ruled by her force. The woman of today has kept the same love of physical exercise and the same thirst for independence, in the majority of schools the boys arid girls being placed together and at the age of ten, young girls go out alone and have every liberty. There is no coun try where the woman who is obliged to earn her living is better cared for than in Sweden. All positions are. open to her. She may be a physician, professor, journalist, manufacturer, employee in the government offices, etc., without losing her feminine po sition in the world. The first trans portation company of Stockholm was founded and directed with success by a woman, many printing shops employ only women, and in literature the head of the idealistic school is Miss Selma Lagerlof, and her most bitter antagon ist is Miss Elen Kay. The conse quence of all this has been a scorn of marriage, an increase in the number of women who live alone. ORDERED OLD GLORY DOWN Russian Official Says American Flag Shan't Fly at Vasa. The stars and stripes were ordered hauled down in Vasa harbor recently by an officious Russian officer, but fortunately for the officer, he saw his blunder in time to prevent any un pleasant consequences to himself, and gave permission to raise the flag again. On a recent trip of the steamer Sundsvall to Finland, there were many American tourists aboard, and in their honor the captain flew the stars and stripes from the mizzen mast. When the steamer arrived at Vasa, a captain of gendarmes boarded the vessel and demanded to know the significance of the American flag on a Swedish vessel. He peremptorily ordered it down, at the announcing that only the French or German flags could be used on such occasions. The flag came dowh, hut the mate earnestly protested that the act was discourteous and insulting to a mighty nation. The captain became somewhat alarmed after thinking over the matter and then .recalled his order. same time LIGHT HERRING-CATCH But Norway Is Doing Well with Sal mon and Whales. Norway's herring-catch for this summer ha,s been very light at last reports, but no alarm was felt, as it is not unusual that the herring do not appear in large schools until late in August. The catch, however, was only 1,77 8 barrels as compared with 11,000 barrels for the corresponding period of 1903 and 8,000 in 1902. Fur ther north the conditions are satis factory. The salmon season, which is now over, yielded about the av erage. Encouraging reports are received from the whalers and sealers. In the Spitzbergen waters whales are re ported plentiful and the seal are" also numerous, and all engaged in the in dustry are doing well. FINNISH SAVANTS ABUSED Russia's Treatment of Helsingfors Professors Causes Heated Protests. Georg Brandes, in Politiken, deliv ers a highly indignant protest against outrages perpetrated against, the members of the faculty of the uni versity at Helsingfors, Finland. He calls upon the university professors of the three Scandinavian countries to promulgate a formal protest against the barbarities practiced on innocent men and to encourage the scholars of England, Germany, France, Italy and other countries to do likewise. Denmark's department of justice will prosecute the publisher of the newspaper "Klokken 12" (Twelve O'Clock) for insults to the Russian government ARCHAIC GRAVES OPENED Mounds Near Helsingborg, Sweden, Yield Some Historic Relics. More than twenty burial mounds near Helsingborg, Sweden, have been opened this summer under the direc tion of the archaeological society.

Kildal, and Hr. Vogt be comes chief for the department of for eign affairs and commerce in place of Hr. Schoenning. Ministers Kildal and Schoenning are presumably transferred to Stockholm, but the dispatches do not say so. CROPS IN DENMARK Suffered Much from Drought, but no Suffering Will Result. Denmark also suffered from drought this summer, and at last accounts hard ly an average crop was expeci?ed. Some fields will show almost a total loss, while others in low places and good soil will yield good returns. Wherever there is a yield the quality is uniform ly good. Only one crop of clover and other hay was obtained, but the qual ity is reported to be splendid and high prices will prevail. The wheat is fair, rye below the av erage, barley and oats uneven and the vield about the average as to quantity. The root crops are generally satisfac- tory.., -Swedes Are Strong Oarsmen..
