The congregation has discussed the
appointment of several bishops and

fore the decisions had been ratified by
the pontiff. This matter had gone SO
far, said Cardinal Gotti, that the re-
suits of the meeting of the propagan-
da were known in the United States
even before the meetings of the cardi-
nails had been actually concluded.
Continuing Cardinal Gottl said that
he had warned the clerks of the con-
gregation to observe the most COM
plete secrecy, and he wished to recon-
mend the same course to the members
Of the sacred college themselves.
Several cardinals greeted the speech
of the cardinal project by saying good.

speech inopportune. These latter
thought that no damage could be done
to the interests of the church by the
publications Of which the cardinal
project complained, as 1t was known
that the decisions of the propaganda
were not valid until ratified by the
pope, while. on the other hand, 1t was
pointed out that the decisions OF the
congregations were rarely rejected by
the pope.

ARE Flrz' HANDS eoopa
If They Arc, Experts Say He Will Whip
Gardner With Ease,

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Everything IN
the Gardner Fttzsimmons fight viii
depend upon the condition of the vet
Grams knuckles. II Fit2simmons can
go along for few rounds without
smashing his hands all to pieces as he
did in the Jeffries fight he has Il
great chance to win. Ii he Is forced
to go bit slow in the early stages be-
cause of his soft hands, Gardner Will
have a great chanc to gain Il VIC
tory.
Perhaps Fitzsimmons will be for
innate enough to get in one of those
awful jabs of his early in the battle.
If he does 1t will not matter much
what his condition is. II he can get
fair shot at vulnerable point of the
younger mans fighting front the bat
tie will end in big hurry. Fitzsim-
mons can whip anybody-bar one---he
can hit, and so far lie has been able
to hit every man he ever fought.
Others of lesser speed and skill than
Fitzsimmons have been able to hit
Gardner On this basis of argument
therefore the New Highlander has but
a slight chance of victory.
1t is evident from all that has been
said that Gardner is going to take no
chance of allowing Fitzsimmons to
get at close range in the early part Of
the fray. He will jog along as care
fully as he can and attempt to make
long fight of it, believing thoroughly
that Fitzsimmons is not capable of
going a long journey. The veterans
fights have all ended before the four
teenth round was up. He went that
distance successfully with Jim Corbeti
and brought the championship home
with him, but that was number of
years ago.
Gardner has knack of getting his
head in low when the milling gets a
bit warm and in this way he may
cause the ancient one to bung up his
hands. He also will make excellent
use of his bony elbows in blocking
Fits punches and it looks like an
even bet that some of the bones In
those freckled fists will ache sorely
before many rounds have been passed
over.

pleading guilty was remanded for SEN
tence. 1t is expected that sentence
will be deferred as Schfiever VIII be a
witness for the state in the othef
prosecutions. He has already told the
prosecution secretly what he knows OF
the deal. In addition to the confess
sions of Alderman Schriever and Chi
sells. several other aldermen have con-
fessed TO their share i'll the deal. and
are expected to become states wit
nesses. Their names are not yet known
however. Schriever is to appear on
Dec. IL for sentence. HIS story differs
from Saisbury's confession in that he
CLANS to have received 1925, while
Salisbury says he was given $3.50. 1t
develops that Salisbury was to have
received SIPS in cash when the deal
was put thru, and that he was to have
been given 100000 in bonds of the
water company that was to have bean
formed.
Ex-Mayor George r. Perry charged
with having received bride of So

Rheumatism
Conquered At Last.
WHY THE OLD TREATMENT FAILED.

WHY THE OLD TREATMENT FAILED.
Because it was based on the theory
(since shown TO be tslse) that the ex-
cess of Uric Acid In the system was due
TO Ito increased production. The old
remedies, such 10 Opium, Alcoholic tom
les, Iodide Of PotaSh, Salts Of Mercury
and the various forms Of Lithia,
markedly lessen the amount OF Uric
Acid excreted. They have been press
cribed because they were supposed 70
lessen the amount OF Uric Acid pros
duced. But their use hes been contin-
uously disappointment. Their failure
il now explained by late scientific re-
search which shows clearly that instead
OF lessening Uric Acid formation, they
simply lessen its excrction. Instead OF
lessening the amount Of Uric Acid in
the system they increase the amount by
retaining and depositing it in the joints
and tissues, resulting in stiffness and
deformity.
WHY THE NEW TREATMENT SUCCEEDS !:
Because it recognizes the late discov-
cries in physiological chemistry that
Rheumatism is caused by the retention
of Uric Acid rather than by it's increased
formation. ELlMINATUM is compounded
expressly for the purpose of d;ssolving
and assisting nature in eliminating Uric
Acid and its compounds from the tis-
sues, in those conditions in which they
have recently been deposited and are
causing great pain. That it does the
work is abundantly demonstrated by
the prompt relief ii affords and the free
dom from deposits and stiff joints it
gives.
the Old Treatment and the New, is just
the difference between Disappointment
and Satisfaction.
