MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands Of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of that
dread disease, Rheumatism. which is
no respecter Of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that 1t is one of the easiest at.
hictions of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven It
not distinct disease in itself. but .
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products Of the svs-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form OF urine. The
function Of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however. are Of sponge-like substance.
the holes or pores Of which will aome-
times, either from oyerwork, cold or
exposure become clogged. and failing
in their function Of eliminating these
poisons from the blood. they remain
in the veins. decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain Of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications Of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription Is
said to relieve the worst cases Of
rheumatism because of its direct &C.
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re-.
lieving, too. the most severe forms Of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon. one ounce: Com.
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in q bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in.
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time

Benevolence Is q great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attic
to find a lot Of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothing for themselves.
While she was hunting around she
found gold-headed cane worth $26

THEY GROW
Good Humor and Cheerfulness From
Right Food and Drink.

Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A

coffee alone made things bright for

ANOTHER EVIDGNCE
OF PROSPERITY
Substantial Gains in Postoffice
Receipts for Year
SEEDSMEN HELP
POSTAL BUSINESS
Mail Orders Greatly Increased and
0reat Number 81 Bills Put
In Circulation.

In place Of December 5 j, as is the gen.
eral custom with business houses
throughout the country. tho years busi-
ness in the postal department closes on
March 81, and this date is usually
watched with great interest, as a report
Of the business transacted by the post
office may fairly be taken as a criterion
Of the prosperity or adversely Of the sur
rounding towns and country.
Postmaster Lance 3his week made
public his report Of the Rocky Ford post
office for the year Just ended and from
it we CLEAN the satisfactory Information
that not only has there been satisfae-
tory increase in the postal business. but
that the receipts for the last three
months were the largest in the history Of
the local Office.
hore is a summary Of his report:
Number OF stamps sold during the
year 8l3.495. the value Of which is
$l6,074.5l. an increase over the pre-
vious year of 9 per cent.
There were 1894 money orders issued
to tee value Of 5.955.sl.
there were 5642 money orders paid to
the amount Of S42.508.25.
The increase in money order business
was 6 per cent.
Tns increase in the registering busi-
ness was 10 per cent.
The quarter ending March 81 was the
largest IN the history Of the Rocky Foed
post office. the receipts being S556l.lo.
In connection with this gratifying IN
crease 1t 10 pertinent to remark that one
OF the main causes therefor has been the
greatly increased business transacted by
our asedsmsn. who have been almost
swampsd with the orders received this
spring. Not only has this aided the
money orosr business. but It has also
bssn responsible for the putting into cir
eulation Of the many 81 bills with which
the town has lately been flooded. Until
the last few weeks this species Of money
hsreabouts has been conspicuous mainly
because Of its absence. but 81 bank
notes are now almost as plentiful a.
silver dollars.
Very few Of the Enterprise readers
even here At homo have any conception
the amount Of money placed in elreu-
l.tion BY our seedsmsn. but some idea
may bs cleaned OF this big industrial
Il an by basing an estimate upon the
e cures Of our veteran scotsman. D. v.
Burrell. who reports that since January
his seed sales have been $4,000.
Estimating that the Ebbert Seed COM
p,ny has filed orders in proportion. and
the two smaller houses. as we'll as the
h.t dozen or more individual growers
and ss.d specialists have each had their
S srare. 1t may be eonservatisely esti-
mated tat $4,000 worth Of seeds has
left this city IN the past three months
And as this money goes into circulation
right here at home. it Is surely an item oi
general prosperity worthy Of more tina n
= p ,ss,ng mention.

TOM SHARKFY PREPARING
TO FIGHT JACK JOHNSON

New York. oct. 15.-Down at
Sheepshead Bay, which is one of the
quietcst places on. earth with the big
race track games closed tight. broad
shouldered, square jawed man is bang
ing away at punching bag in barn
and taking long runs on the deserted
thoroughfares. while the residents in
dulge in gossip. This very active.
earnest person IN known all over the
civilized world as Thomas Sharkey,
able seaman, who retired from the
prize ring i'm 1903 after a sensational
career, during which he put up won
derful 25-round fight with James j.
Jeffries.
To speak plainly even though 1t may
amuse the sporting fraternity. Shark
ey is training for the sole purpose of
getting into condition for a fight with
Jack" Johnson the negro heavy
weight champion of the world. Shark
and Immediately after the alleged
fight ne hit the trail for his home AT
the Bay. secretly confident that If able
to regain his old form he could whip
the BLACK man and recover the cham
pionship for the white race. Sharkey
did not waste any time i'm getting down
TO business. Always i'm pretty fair
condition. he began training lightly
and. finding that his speed and
strength were simply dormant, he
gradually increased the daily exercise
, though keeping the entire plan of ac-
ton to himself.
Sharkey is 35 years old, n year older
than Johnson. He has always been re-
garded as a physical marvel, but when
he got through with Jeffries at Coney
Island he was taken to a hospital sur
fering from two fractured ribs and q
broken nose. That was i'm 1899, wher
Sharkey was i'm his prime, but the ter
rife beating he received on that &C.
casion took away much of his stamina
and year later Fitzsmmons stopped
him i'm two rounds with a few well di-
rected punches.

BASEBALL FATALITIES.
More Deaths From Accident This Year
Than Ever Before.

The baseball fatalities for 1910 break
all records The total is so, or more
than the previous record, which was
made in 1908. and Is more than last
year. AS has been the case every year,
the great majority of those who were
killed met death i'm amateur games,
Many of the players were under IL
years of age. There were many deaths
due to heart failure. caused by excite
ment at games. All these accidents
are not directly due to the game
which must not be classed as dan
gerous sport on account of the fatali-
ties which happen in the back lots.
Very rare IL is, indeed, that an acct
dent happens which causes a death i'm
q big league game, either to a player
or spectator. In 1905 there were IL
fatalities: 1906, 10; 1907. 13; 1908. AZ;
and 1909, so.
The biggest killing this year hammer,
ed at Brooks, Ca, on August 2S. A
game was being played between two
negro clubs for the championship of
Fayette county, and riot was start
ed when the umpire called one Of the
Brooks players safe at the home plate
in the ninth inning. Pistols. razors,
bats and knives were brought into
play and three players were killed.
