tried to start the engine. 1t was no go
and after working for a while a call was
sent out for an electrician and several re-

any part of the engine and an attempt
to start it was successful. Schmidt then

Definite system Needed.

State highway Commissioner SD
ney Suggs in speaking of the above
report says it is somewhat overdrawn
and that the Morgan Township Off
GERS are as honest As any other town
ship officers in Oklahoma that they
have worked under mere condition
when there should he system by
which they are to work and in estab-
fishing that system he is now devot-
ng the hardest labor of his life. The
commission has made the request
OF every chairman of the board of
commissioners in every county of the
state to compile these reports for his
Office and Carter county is first to
make response TO that request. He
says there are three million dollars
hoing spent each year on roads N the
different count'cS of the state and
under the present conditions but little
OF this money reaches the roads and
the -rcatcr fault les i'm the "condi-
ten that prevails and the lack of a
definite system" The comm missioner
states further hat il is Just As reason
able to require every tax payer to
enter the school room as teacher and
teach out mis- school tax as il is to re
Quirc tax ayers to go upon the public
roads and work out their road tax.

TO GET RID OF
RHEUMA TZSM

If we suffer with Rheumatism
and desire to get rid of it we must
make up our minds to subject our
systems to the proper course of
treatment for whiIe. The only
way, to cure oneself of Rheumatism
is to remove the expel the
irritating uric acid from the blood;
every other method oftreatment has
proved a failure. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism because it is the great
est of all blood purifiers. This
medicine goes down into the circu-
lation, and expels every particle of
the sour, inaammatory uric acid
Which is the one great cause of the
disease. The cure can be greatly
hnstened with a little care and self
denial by the patient. In the first
place do not let anything interfere
to preuent your taking S. S. S. reg
ularly and according to directions;
be guarded in your eating, because
an attack ofindigestion wiU always
aggrauate the symptoms of Rheu-
matism. Do not expose yourself to
damp and inclement weather any
more than is necessary. When S.S.S.
has had time to rid the blood of
the uric acid; then these little restric-
tions may be left off. This simple
course has cured many thousands of
cases of Rheumatism. Book on
rheumatism and any medical advice
free S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
