Se 3? 3? RHEUMATISM
The primary cause o: Rheumatism results from weak kidneys, constipa?
tion, indigestion, etc, forming impure: accumulations in the system. These
sour and fc-rmcut, causing utie acid, which is absorbed from the stomach and
intestines into the blood. This changes the circulation from a thick, rich
fluid to a thin, acrid stream, depositing inflammatory matter into themus
cles, nerves, and joints. The longer the blood is allowed to remain in this
impure condition the more severe will Rheumatism become. Gradually the
muscles harden and lose their elasticity, the joints begin to stiffen, and fre?
quently calculous deposits form knots at the finger joints. There is just one
Tray to CURB Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of the uric acid
jioison. S. S. S., by removing every particle of the cause and PURIFYING
the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. eliminates the uric acid
because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers. It filters out every trace of the
sour, inflammatory matter, cools the a< id-healed blood, furnishes the mate?
rial for multiplying the rich, nutritious corpuscles of-the circulation, and
by its Hue tonic effects assists the system Id rapidly overcome the effects of
Jlie disease. Special .book, on Rheumatism and medical advic e free. 8 S 8

HEADS OF PRINCES j
-
Five Members of "Hot Feet" Ex
| pelled From University of
Virginia.
i [Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Charlottesvillo, Vn., May 24.?Satur?
day night the "Hot Feet" had a cele?
bration at the University of Virginia,
and now five heads of princes of mis?
rule repose In the. basket and three
others came so near the axe that they
are congratulating themselves that
they still live.
The affair on Saturday evening had
new features. The greatest figure
consisted in n chasse along (Cast and
West Hanges, (luring which doors
were smashed, windows crashed and
furniture went to the htid. They even
ventured Into Cabell Hall, among the
lions and other man-eaters which lead
a stuffed existence In a- basement room,
and led some of them out of captivity.
Certain students whoso rooms had
been invaded and who had sustained
losses of pitchers, bowls and other
paraphernalia, for some reason could
not see the joke In ibe Hot Foot light,
reported the matter to the university
authorities, and a very prolonged ses?
sion of the administration council
ended with the verdict given above.
The expelled men have been in the
university from three to five years,
and are looked upon as "old men." In i
the main they come from country dis- ,
tricts or small towns, and some of
them aro approaching their degrees.
Tho "Hot Feet" Is an organization
peculiar to the University of Virginia,
and was organized in 1902 by residents
' on East Range. Their coronation of I
Queen Vskl has, in past yea vs. been an
event of deep Interest. The lust king
was crowned a few weeks ago. The
other high worthies are the Lord High
Chancellor, the Heir Apparent, the
Wizard and the Jester. The particu?
lar line of amusement pursued In past
years was extravaganza, burlesque and
hor.se play, which Is sometimes seen In
carnivals in Europe.
GAMBLING CLIQUES AT WAh
One New York Set Tiohn Another at
Point of Pistol.
New York, May 24.?Details of a
battle between rival cliques of New
York gamblers, In which one side lost
nearly $25,000 In cash, became com?
mon property along Broadway yester?
day, although the police pVofcssed Ig?
norance.
The warfare among tho gamblers of
the city has been on for some time,
and several recent bomb explosions In
the uptown theatre districts have fig?
ured In It. The latest development
appears to have been an attack by two
armed and masked members of one
clique against several of the establish?
ments of the rival faction.
Two masked men, it is said, enter?
ed a Sixth Avenue establishment early
yesterday morning and at the point
of revolvers robbed the proprietors of
about JIC.000 In cash, most of which
had been won from a single wealthy
patron In the night's play. Later the
same masked pair visited several other
well known gambling houses and suc?
ceeded In getting away with th?
"bank" in each place.
