Player Acquires Name
Of Brother by Chance

Probably a good many of the chaps
who attend ball games Of the Pacific
Coast League know that "Ieinie" Heit-
muller's real name Is William, but
how many of them have ever heard the
story how there came this switch so
that the outfielder of the Los Angeles
club Is enjoying the monaker that
rightfully belongs to his brother, Henry,
of the Olympic Club.
Well, here 1t Is, and the story comes
from Henry D., the Olympic Club man
ager and not the ball player.
You see" he said, when Bill start
ed in at California as a freshman no
body was particularly worried over his
first name. 1t was enough that his
name was Heitmuller. Very shortly after
he entered the university he had a
chance to go into the Northwest with
the baseball team. A dress suit case
was more of luxury in those days
than now. and so I let brother Will
liam have mine. 1t was so new 1t
startled you, and 1t had big initials on
one end, II. D. H.
LAS it happened, that suit case was
ended up with the initials in view in
the car and one Of the men Of the
team who passed by was attracted.
Hello he remarked, that fresh
mans name is Henry Heitmuller. not
William,
very day."

THE DANGER or
RHEUMATISM

The danger of Rheumatism Is In
temporizing in the treatment, or
failing to realize the powerful nature
ofthe trouble. If the blood Is allowed
to remain infected with uric acid,
Rheumatism soon becomes chronic,
and then If not checked it sometimes
makes complete physical wrecks of
its victims by permanently stiffen-
Ing the joints and seriously inter-
fering with the bodily nerve force.
External applications will often
temporarily relieve Rheumatic
pains, but do not reach the blood,
where the cause is located, and to
depend entirely upon such treatment
IS a very dangerous thing to do.
5. s. S. cures Rheumatism by re-
moving every particle of the cause
and purifying the blood. It filters
out OF the circulation every trace of
the sour, infammatory matter, cools
the acid-heated nerves, causes a
natural and healthy nourishment
through the blood to all muscles,
joints and bones, and perfectly cures
Rheumatism in all its forms. S. S. S.
does this great work because it is the
greatest OF all blood purifiers, acting
directly on the source of disease.

free to all who write and request it.

DRAGGING ROADS WITH AUTOS
How Six Machines Helped to Make
Two Miles Smooth and Hard.

The Muskogee (Okla) Motor club is
improving the roads In MuSkogee
county. This club is composed of fifty
motorists. The members have bought
fifty split log drags and are using
them on the roads leading out of Mus
kogee. The first trial was made a
short time ago and proved a great sue
cess.
A stretch of road two miles long
leading out of one of the city's prin-
cipal thoroughfares was selected
When the ground was in the right con
dition the six split log drags were at
tached to the rear aXles of six ma
chimes, and the two miles of road were
thoroughly dragged The result is that
they are as smooth and hard as could
be desired. 1t took the motorists about
a quarter of a day to do the work.
This work is to be extended. The
fifty members of the club are to be di-
vided into squads of six each Each
squad is to be given a division of road
to improve. More drags will be made
The material in drag of this kind
costs $3.50 if bought at lumber yard
and hardware store, but any farmer
can make one with ordinary tools for
practically nothing by using split logs,
as the name of the drag suggests.

Women For Good Roads.

In one of those cities where the
women have actively taken up the
work of civic improvement the wo-
mans club has cpaated a department
of good roads and has appointed a
committee to have charge. This is the
first action of the kind that we have
noticed The local newspaper says
that this committee has not been
asked to work the roads, but it surely
will be able to work the men who con-
troll them, to judge by the success of
the efforts of the women in the past
for improvements of advantage to the
city" And therein is stated the secret
of the value of such an undertaking on
the part of these women. If the men
won't build good roads the women can
make them. Southern Good Roads
begs leave to acknowledge itself firm
and unwayering constituent of this
club of progressive ladies who not
only enjoy books and original articles
on current topics, refreshments and So
cial pleasures connected with the uSu
al feminine club, but also incorporate
into their realm of activity such a
laudable work as furthering the good
roads movement.
