RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
OF uric acid in the circulation. It is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently ternii-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
"doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from a painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets a frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. It

HEARING APPEALS
ON REJECTED
Filings
NEW MEXICO BOARD OF WATER
COMMISSIONERS TO DECIDE
FATE OF PROJECTS

Odutd re, N. m.s req. o.-In0 Ter
ritorial Board of Water Commission
ers. Charles Springer, president, con
vened yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
In the offices of Territorial Engineer
Charles D. Miller at the capitol. The
following are the members of the
board in addition to Mr.. Springer:
Oscar Snow, of Las Cruces, and Col
Venceslao Jaramillo of El Rito.
The following are the rejected ap
plications that are being heard on
appeal:
Application No. 1873, H. B. Jones
Santa Rosa. Aqua Negra Chiquita.
No. ITO. Fort Sumner and Pecos
Land company. A. T. Rogers, jr. The
Pecos.
No. 395 Urton Lake and Water
company. Former Governor Miguel
A. Otero president, Santa Fe. The
Pecos.
No. BAG. A. A. Jones, Las Vegas.
Nos. 410. Ali, 421 and 422, Fort
Sumner and Pecos Land company.
No. 424, A. A. Jones, Las Vegas.
The board will be in session two
days but it is not believed that any
opinion will be handed down until
later. The question at stake is a most
vital one to the future of New Mex
leo and is similar to that raised on the
Rio Grande by the proposed construc-
tion of the Engle dam and which has
tied up all proposed additional appro-
priations of water on the Rio Grande
and its tributaries in New Mexico
and Colorado north Of the Engle Dam,
as the u. S. Reclamation Service has
filed on all the unappropriated waters
on the Rio Grande on the plea that
they are needed to fill the Engle Re-
servoir and to supply the land under
the project.
On the Pecos the same question
has been raised by the U. s. Reclama-
ton Service claiming that it has ap-
propriated all the waters of the Pc
cos not used, for the Carlsad project
and that therefore all applications for
further appropriation must be reject
ed. Former Territorial Engineer Yer
non L. Sullivan accepted this view |
and rejected all applications for new
appropriations for water on the Pecos
north of the Carlsbad project and |
which included Lake Urton, the Fort
Sumner, the A. A. Jones and other
projects that contemplated the ex-
penditure of several million dollars
for irrigation works and the reclama-
tion of many thousands of acres of !
fertile land.
No matter what the decision Of
the water board on the appeals, it is
certain that the cases will be carried |
up to the highest tribunal of the ma
tion, the supreme court of the United
States and until then all of the plans
for development of the Pecos valley will
have to be held in allegiance just as !
they are on the Rio Grande and it's
tributaries in New Mexico and Colora-
do unless the secretary of the interior
will rescind a certain department or
der under which the reclamation SER
vice is acting and is setting up It's
contentious at this time.

ARRANGING DETAILS
FOR TRAINING TRIP
Nationals Will Report At
Atlanta, Ca, BY
March 5.

Treasurer Harry Rapley and Business
Manager Willie Fowler today started
the work Of making the final arrange
ments for the spring training trip Of the
Nationals.
1t is usually the custom for clubs to
meet in the city they represent be-
fore starting for the Southern camp,
but so far as known McAleer has not
yet given the players any definite in
structions in this matter. II the team
is ordered to report here a special car
will be chartered for the trip, but 9TH
erwise the men will be told to go from
their homes direct TO Atlanta, arriving
there not later than March 5.
Mr.. Fowler has closed a deal with the
KimbalI House at Atlanta, whereby the
club will stay there for three weeks,
while from President Heishman, of the
Atlanta club. has been received assur-
ance that the Ponce de Leon Park will
be in perfect condition and the Cracker
club will be on hand about the time the
Nationals start work.
President Noyes has heard nothing
from Manager McAleer for the past
week, but 1t is expected he will be on
hand at the schedule meeting of the
league to be held within the next two
weeks.

MACKEY TO ACCEPT
NER'SCHALLENGE
Handicap Wrestling Match
Will Be Held Within
Six Weeks.

Rob Roy Mackey, Of this city, has de-
cided TO accept the challenge Of Joe
Turner to wrestling match to be held
here within the next six weeks.
When the proposition was first made
1t was thought the bout would be an
even affair. but as Turner believes he
will be unable to get down TO Mackey' S
weight he has agreed to make 1t an
hour handicap match.
Turner will have youth and weight in
his favor, but Mackey believes greater
experience will Offset these two advan-
tages. Because of the intense rivalry
that has always existed between these
two grapplers, it is expected that a
large crowd will attend.
The date will probably be within the
first two weeks in March. and the event
will. in all likelihood. be held under the
auspices OF the National Guard Athletic
Association, in Center Market Gym
nasium.
The militiamen are preparing for n
wrestling tournament for tho last
Thursday in this month. Negotiations
are now on with several out-of-town
men to take part, and 1t is probable
that in these bouts Mackey will MAKE
his final appearance before meeting
Turner.

Washington high school athletic circles
have a new bit of choice scandal that
may call forth an official investigation
by those in authority at the institu-
tions.
According TO the gossip that is going
the rounds among the athletically in
.clined boys, there is actual and open
proselyting going on 10 such an extent
that inducements Are being offered to
athletes to quit one school and enter
another.
The Board of Education has always
made II a rule to encourage pupils TO
enter schools nearest their respective
homes, but the object OF this will be
defeated, declare those close to the boys,
unless present activity is checked i'm
mediately.
BY appointment OF committees and Of
fetal supervision, the board has always
encouraged clean sport of all sorts in
the five Washington schools, but the
rules covering eligibility have been so
strict that only students in the best
of standing have been allowed to enter
the interhigh school competition.
The case that has aroused the present
agitation happened but few days ago,
when, it is alleged, representative of
one of the schools approached a foot
ball and baseball star in another school
and sounded hin: out on the proposition

To Form Association

seems certain that a preparatory school
athletic association will soon be formed
in Virginia. and Coach Krebs. of the

up a proposed constitution, which should
interest every prep school in the State.
Krebs originated the idea of an
association and is pushing the
proposition assiduously. He hopes
to have Stauntotn Military, Wood
berry, Episcopal Figh School. Randolph
Macon. and Fishburne as charter mem-
bers. but any prep school in the State
will be admitted by meeting the condi-
tiOns. Krehs is anxious to have a meet
ing of representatives from these schools
called at an early date, in order that the
