Tells How to Mix it

A well-known authority on
Rheumatism gives the readers OF a
lal ge New York daily paper the
following valuable, yet simple and
harmless prescription, which any
one can easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandeliop, one
half ounce; Compound kargon.
one ounce: Compound Syrup Sar'
saparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients
can be obtained from any good
prescription pharmacy at small
cost, and being of vegetable ex-
traction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for a few days, is said to
overcome almost any case of kheu.
matism. The pain and swelling, il
any, diminishes with each dose, un-
til permanent results are obtained,
and without injuring the stomach.
While there are many so.called
Rheumatism remedies, patent med
icines, etc., some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent
results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by
many sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of
this neighborhood ELECTS the infor'
nation that these drugs are harm.
less and can be bought separately,
or the druggists here will mix the
prescription for our readers if ask

CROSS HAS BEEN AT SAME
POSITION TWENTY-0NE YEARS
Wonderful Shortstop OF Kansas CITY
Team Still Aspires to Be
Manager in Big
League

Monte Cross, Kansas City's manager
and shortstop. is playing his twenty
first consecutive season at shortstop.
He is still one of the fastest in the
business, and makes the so-called &c.
A. r." infield of the Blues look like the
real goods.
Cross began to play professional ball
in 1883 with the Solar Tips, an inde-
pendent club of Philadelphia. Inc
next year he was with Milford III the
Delaware state league, and In 1870 ana
1891 he played with the Lebanon, Pa,
team, which was in the Atlantic ana
the Eastern league in those years.
In 1892 he went to Buffalo, and mn
ished the season with Baltimore, IN the
National league. In 1894 and 1895 he
played short for Pittsburg, and In 1896
and 1897 was the principal lnnelder Tor
the st. Louis team.
For four years, beginning with 1898.
Cross was with the Philadelphia Ma
tionals, and in 1902 went to the Ath-
letics, of that town, when the Ameri-
can league got going. He played with
Connie Mack's team until the end of
last season.
Manager Cross said yesterday after
noon that his ambition is to develop
into big league manager, and he
thinks that the right way to do that
Is to start in minor league. His
team certainly looks good, and he
stands a good chance of attracting at
tention by landing the pennant for the
Blues this year

CONGRATULATE
FEARLESS DRIVER
AUT0ISTS INSPECT RECORD
BREAKER
CAR ON EXHIBITION IN LOCAL
GARAGE
Trip Said to Be the Most Remarkable
Ever Made by a Two-Cylnder
Machine-Many Have Tried
for Record

The two-cylinder Auburn touring car
which lowered the record for two-cyl-
lnder cars from San Francisco to Los
Angeles by eleven hours was the object
of much curiosity at the salesroom of
the Central Motor Car company yes
terday This car after making the run
in twenty hours and fifty-six minutes
stands Ia perfect condition, and when
the engine was started yesterday 1t ran
as well as the day 1t was received from
the factory. Not spring or an axle
shows the slightest effect of the terri
BILE pounding over 500 miles of as hard
road as could be found in the west for
q record breaking run.
r. l.. F0rSythe, who pulled Off the
stunt was the recipient OF hearty con-
gratulations from hundreds of motor
lists yesterday. That $1,000 two-cyl-
Under car could make such a trip in
time beaten only once before by gas
oline car, and that machine which
costs $4,000, was cause for congratula-
tion.
Many cars have tried for this record,
but ii is heart-breaker, and, the size,
price and horsepower of the Auburn
considered, the run stands as one of
the most remarkable trips ever made
by an automobile in California.
Delayed on Road
Several things stand out as remark
able in this run. The car was delayed
on the road over three hours as a re-
suit of tire trouble and broken gaso-
line connection. From San Francisco
TO San Jose on the San Francisco side
of the bay the time made by the pres
ent inter-city free-for-all record holder
Is hour and 80 minutes. The Auburn
equaled that time. The distance Is fifty
miles, with numerous turns ana
stretches of very bad road. This shows
the speed of the Auburn on level road.
AS a test of the mountain climbing
as well as the speed on the level of this
car was the run from San Luis ObiSpo
to Santa Barbara. This takes the car
over miles of the toughest road in the
state, across the Gaviota range of
no backs for thirty miles the other
side of Santa Barbara The car made
this In 4:23, and tn, fastest time ever
made is but five minutes faster.
An automobile cannot be asked to
undergo a severer test than to under
take at full speed the run from the
Golden Gate to the Angel city, and the
fact that the Auburn is in perfect con-
dtion after this trip speaks we'll for
tfs material and construction of the
car.
