GAYNoR's TREATMENT OF
 GAMBLING

Mayor Gaynor of New York has pro- mulgated new doctrine in regari to gambling houses which appesr to promise more toward abating he.cvil than the old methods on receiving 3 letter from lawyer whose clients saloon had been taken possession of despite the common law rule that a mans house is his castle, the Mayor replied
 "A mans house is his castle. as you say, but I have never yet heard il said that mans gambling house is his castle. The law is that every gambling house is nuisance. and may be taken possession of by the police or hy the citizens for abatement"
 What the Mayor instructed the police to do in this case was to take posses sion and keep possession of this saloon which was merely c blind to a gam bling establishment. until the nuisanc, was ruIy abated This appealed tu him as being more practical than the old plan of making raid and then walking out again with the proprietor or somebody selected by him tn pose as proprietor under arrest

EARLY PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

California will not have the privilege of voting at a presidential primary next spring. like some of the other progress sive states. For reasons that are toler- ably we'll understood the state legis- lature declined 10 follow the example set by Wisconsin and Oregon in this regard. and the deleeations from this state to the national conventions will be selected by the political machinery created last year for another purpose. A Washington dispatch gives these particulars:
 In five states next spring there will be held presidential primary elections to choose delegates to the republ can and democratic national conventions. and to declare the preferences of the voters of both parties for candidates for the presidency. These presidential primaries will be the first ever held in the United States and the delegates to the national convention selected under them will be the first 80 chosen. The presidential primary idea had it's origin in oregon. but has been adopted in North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and New Jersey, all of which have presidential primary laws based on the oregon law.
 The primaries in the states named will come In March. April and May and their results are expected to be im- portant Senator Bourne of oregon who is perhaps unduly sanguine. after the manner of politicians. declares that as these primaries go. SO will the national nominations go.
 one thing certain Is that the effect will be to open the presidential cam paign in the early spring months. But California will be denied any voice or influence on that part of the campaign

nothing but sympathetic for Freddie
Welsh. the man who will face him in
the ring next Thursday afternoon.
The choice seats about the rings edge
were reserved for and occupied by
women. who carefully removed their
plumed hats and pinned them against
the sides of the platform.
The prophecy that Wolgast would rule
q 2-to-1 choice over Welsh has come
true. Early Saturday night 5000
wad OF San Francisco money made its
appearance. The coin was offered on
Wolgast and In a few minutes the price
had gone from 10 to Z to 2 to l, and there

While DePalma had to be content
with securing second honors, he has the
distinction OF making the fastest lapsof
the race. On his second round he hung
UP a lap record of thirteen minutes

Fegan, who rolls with the Fatimas, Of
the Northeastern Duckpin League, rolled
the highest individual string Of any
duckpin artists last night. Fegan's Sec
ond string totaled 1872 pins, his first and
third strings totaling but l04 and 80.
Taking the Northeastern League as a
whole, the best scores with the smaller
pins are probably among its teams
The majority of the bowlers In that
league can roll around the 100 mark
with regularity. and some interesting
games have been seen between the
Northeastern teams.
Malcolm, of the Maplewood team, in
the Arcade Duckpin League, Is q close
follower to Fegan, the former having
q total Of 1s0 pins IN his first string
rolled against the Holmead team.
Leach rolled a total Of 100 pins for the
Kendall team OF the Interdenomina-

team, also of the Interdenominationa
League bowled 124 pins, as did Bradley.

HOME CURE FOR
RHEUMATISM

r IA i i 4OxI1
Do not waste time nor take
chances of becoming a cripple or
helpless sufferer from Rheumatism
by trying to cure the disease with
external applications alone. Such
treatment sometimes gives relief
from the severe pain, or may reduce
the inflammation of swollen Joint
or muscle, but the, effect cannot be
more than temporary. Each day the
cause is allowed to remain in the
system Rheumatism gets a firmer
hold on its victim. Purify your
blood of the inflanmatory uric acid
and then you will cure the disease
permanently. The system will re-
spond more quickly and surely to
S. S. S. than any other treatment.
This great blood purifier possesses
the penetrating qualities necessary
to drive out every trace of urate mat
ter from the circulation and build
the blood up to a nourishing and
healthful condition. Only pure blood
can overcome Rheumatism, and
S. S. S. surely creates pure blood.
Thousands have cured themselves Of
Rheumatism by using S. s. S., a
medicine made entirely of roots,
herbs and barks; no harmful mineral
enters into its composition, and
S. S. S. is therefore safe for any one
to use. Write for our book on Rheu-
:natism and ask for any special med
ical advice. No charge for either.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
