PROOF OF this is Rheumatism, which Is
is the Kidneys working the wrong way by
taking good food from the blood.
Our kidneys are very important organs.

ELkEs' FAST RIDING.

24:5S and Lowers the Record.

Wheels Ten Miles In Competition in
24:5S and Lowers the Record.
Jacksonville, Fla, March 14.-At the
Villa Maynard meet last Wednesday of the
Jacksonville wheelmen Harry Elkes, of
Saratoga, N. Y, rode ten miles in competi-
ton In 24:6S.
On the strength of this performance, it
was claimed that Elkes had lowered the
worlds amateur record for ten miles in
competition. This claim was, however,
subsequently denied, a telegram being re-
ccive;l here that the distance had been made
in less time than 24:5S.
This assertion is not true, for Chairman
Gideon Of the l.. A. W. racing board, tel
egraphed yesterday that the best time for
ten miles, prior to Elkes' performance, was
25:32. Elkes, therefore, helds the worlds
amateur championship for ten miles in
competition. Elkes' performance was the
more notable because the racers were not
paced for nearly two miles of the distance.
