This early dftte was set in oiler that the city would be able to equip the school before the fail term starts In September. The school 1s boing erected to take care of tho large Over flow of children from tho depot and lilltmoro avenue section's, who now attend the Hill street and Catholic Hill schools, many of them being compelled to walk more than a mile to reach their school. The city alxo reports the work on the public comfort station being erected on Pack square, as progressing nicely and this work will be finished by June, as the contract calls for the work to be completed by this time. In a few days the contractor plans to start pouring concrete and this work will be pushed with all possible speed, ensistent with good work.

The association has a class of ten or more in stenography, but has had to close It during the Influenza epi demic. A number of the girls of the city have taken considerable interest In this class and It is hoped by many of them that the class will bo resumed as soon as tho health ban Is lifted.

It is understood that several bids have been received and others are expected this morning. The local, as well as foreign con tractors have taken much interest in the1 proposed line, and owing to the fact that several bids are expected, it is believed that the board will be able to announce this afternoon to whom the work is awarded. When the bids are submitted this morning at the regular session of the board, the com missioners will probably take all of the bids under consideration, and after a study of them, make a report during the afternoon.

Chairman Cathey stated that about $9,000 had been pledged, the most of which has been paid in, up to yestor day, and that several churches, Sun day schools and lodges, which have not yet made their reports are ex pected to swell the fund materially before the end of tho week. Buncombe county's quota is to save 200 lives, in contributing $12,000 and owing to the fact that a number of counties in this state have filed large reports with the state headquarters it is hoped that those who have not yet assisted In this cause will do so during the remaining days of this week, so the amount can be credited to this county.

In this article we want to ex plain to you the cause of this most painful of all diseases, also offer suggestions, .founded on reason and long years of experience, which will enable you to secure the right treatment if you are af flicted with any of the various forms of Rheumatism. Rheumatism is often a specific blood fermentation, a souring of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating in the blood stream. This uratic impur ity comes usually as a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indi gestion and stomach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a di rect effect on the eliminative members of the body, which pre vents the proper removal of the waste products. . This refuse re mains in the stomach : and bow els, and souring forms uric acid, which the blood quickly absorbs. Rheumatism is usually mani fested in the joints and muscles. It is here its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and stiffening of liga ments and tendons first com mence. The pain of Rheumatism ia caused by the contact of the sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes to accumulate in the cor puscles of the blood about the joints. The stiffening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Con stantly the blood deposits the uric acid into tha joints, and slowly the natural fluids are dried up and destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. It is then that this poison in the blood has sapped the strength. The weakened blood has allowed poison and impurities to accumu late, leaving the sufferer with all energy gone. " Scientists have discovered that the forest and field are abundant-J ly supplied with -vegetation of va rious kinds, that furnish the ingre-1 dients for making a remedy for practically every ill apd ailment of mankind. Medicines made . from roots, herbs and barks! which Nature has placed at the disposal of man, are better than strong mineral mixtures and con coctions. Mineral medicines work dangerously on the delicate parts of the system, especially : the stomach and bowels, by eating out the lining membrane, produc ing chronic dyspepsia and "often entirely ruining the health. S. S. S. is guaranteed to be a purely vegetable remedy. ,It ia made entirely of gentle-acting, healing, purifying roots, herbs and barks, possessing f properties that build up all parts of the sys tem, in addition; to removing all impurities and poisons from the blood.
