LIABILITY TO A
SECOND ATTACK
OF RHEUMATISM
A New Hartford, Iowa, Mans
Experience With Temporary
Relief Methods and With
DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

Doctors say that a person who has
mad rheumatism is more liable to be at
tackled by the disease than one who has
not.
The whole truth probably is that the
nrst attack was never really cured and
the second attack was return of the
same old rheumatism.
Until the rheumatic poison is driven
from the blood you will be subject to an
attack every winter or every damp day.
Mr.. +. M. Church, of New Hartford.
Butler County, Iowa, wasted a lot of
time securing temporary relief. Hesays:

it in my right arm and shoulder. This
was after hard days work and the
pains bothered me more or less every
day after that. They were steady and
dragging like and often became so
severe that felt sick all over and would
have to go to bed for two or three days
The pains were always more intense

seemed to be worse. When I pressed on
the bone of my arm, it hurt SO that |
could hardly stand it.
II had been in this shape for nearly
three years and had used nearly every
thing in the way ofexternal applications,
such as plasters, poultices and liniments
These seemed to relieve the pains for a
short time, but they always came back

ANNUAL DOG RACE
IN FAR ALASKA
The All-Alaska Sweepstakes viii be
Run over 300 Mile Course From
Fairbanks to Nome,

NOME, Alaska. Feb. 2.-Nome's an
nual dog race, the All.Alaska sweep
stakes. which has risen to be known
as sporting classic the world over.
will be run this year over an 500 mile
course, from Fairbanks to Nome, in
stead of the 400 mile route originally
planned. This is the latest scheme Of
the sport lovers of Nome, who have
offered a $4,000 prize to the winner
and $4,000 more in smaller prizes.
Last year the sweepstakes was run
from Nome to Candle and return 400
mile iaunt which occupied five days
and was travelled by the racing dog
teams IN a fierce blizzard. The plan
tn race from Fairbanks to Nome would
involve ten days trip over snow and
ice, most of it on the frozen bosom OF
the Yukon. The trail is good one,
and barring storms the journey might
be made by the racers in nine days or
little less. The Fairbanks to Nome
race. says the promoters, would be a
more strictly all-Alaska affair.
The new plan will also be boon to
many Of the entries who have their
teams in Seattle this winter and VIII
hiring them north in the spring for
race. To reach Nome they must take
the trail at Valdez and come over the
ice by way Of Fairbanks. If the race
is started at Fairbanks they will be
o,,a ,,rt of their long preliminary
journey.

A Novelty In the Way Of Play.
When Miss Petticoats" was first
brought out at the great Boston the
alter, 1t leaped into popular favor at
once, and became an immediate sue
cess, and much of it was due % its
quaint title as well as the very pun
gent atmosphere of the story, which
was taken from the famous book of
the same name, in which the scenes
were laid on the coast of New Eng
land amid the most fascinating sur
roundings imaginable.
Here Agatha Renter, the attractive
heroine, lives in the cabin of the old
whaler "Harpoon,' and comes to wom-
anhood under the guidance of her
faithful grandfather, Capt. Stewart,
who lives jolly life with the old sea
dogs of New Bedford, who are her
daily companions, until she is intro
duced into the smart set" and then
talents attract the "green-eyed' OF her
set and her struggles against tempta-
ton and villainies are vividly portray
ed in some strong dramatic scenes.
that bring out the virile force OF the
atmosphere of the whole play, which
is very refreshing one. The power
of character in its clean-cut, refresh
ing strength was never more wildly
portrayed than in these wholesome
sea-folk, whose pungent satire and de-
licious humor provide two hours and
half of amusement that is enthus-
iastically received by the houses that
crowd to see this clever new play.
picked company of refined and talent
ed players will present Miss Petit
coats" at the Grand on next Wednes-
day evening and those who have not
read this popular book should do SO
before seeing the play. Artistic cos
| tunes and beautiful new scenery with
/ splendid scenic effects illustrative
of quaint whaling town and Partisan
scenes are carried by this fine COM
pany managed by Atkinson & Thatch-
err of Boston.
"Human Hearts"
| In Human Hearts" the story told
! is one of much interest in which the
sympathies of the audience are thor
oughly enlisted. Tom Logan, an hon
est blacksmith living in the hills of
| Arkansas, is entrapped by All adven-
turess whom he marries without dis
| covering her character. After time,
and while poor Tom thinks his happi-
ness is secure, her former lover ap-
pears on the scene. A murder is COM
mitted and through the plottings of
this infamous man and woman, the
crime is fastened on Tom. He discov-
ers the truth, but through love for
the woman, and rather than betray
her he bears the stigma, stands trial,
Is convicted and sentenced to States
Prison for life, where he would have
remained, had it not been for the in
tervention of faithful friends, who
bring his case to the notice of the gov
ernor of Arkansas. In the end, of
course, all ends happily and Tom is re-
stored to his former standing In the
community. The play is one in which
pathos in combined with comedy.
The organization presenting HUI
man Hearts, is under the manage
ment of w. E. Vaudeville, who has d.
rected it's tour most successfully for a
number of years. Mr.. Nankeville is
said to have provided ample scenic
display for the production and to have
engaged a splendid company for the
portrayal of the various characters.
