TO GET RID OF
RHEUMA TXSM

If Ue 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 a while. The only
way to cure oneself of rheumatism
is to remope the cGuse-expeI the
irritating uric acid from the blood;
every other method of treatment has
proved a failure. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism because il is the great
est of all blood purifiers. This
medicine goes doDn into the circu-
Iation, and expeis every particle of
the sour, inRqnlmGtory uric acid
which is the one great cause Offhe
disease. The cure can be greatly
fastened With a little care and self
denial by the patient. In the first
place do not let anything interfere
to preUenf your taking S. S. S. reg
uIarly and according to directions;
be guarded in your eating, because
an attack ofindigest;on will always
aggrGUate the symptoms of Rheu-
matiSm. Do NOT expose yourself TO
damp and incletuent weather any
more than is necessary. When S. SIS.
has had time to rid the blood Of
the uric acid; then these little restric-
tons may be left off. This simple
course has cured many thousands of
cases of rheumatism. Book on
and any medical advice
free. S. s. S. IS sold at drug stores.

ROWLING NOTES

Some record that those Colts
made last night
Every Pretzel bowler was higher
last night than any of them were
for two weeks Three of them even
managed to get over the 500 mark.
Salzmann and Patting rolled over
500. Each had a good middle game
but fell short in the first and third
The difference in scores last night
from the preceding week is attribut-
ed TO a change in alleys. The teams
that rolled on the upper alleys made
the best scores.
Captain Huston Of the Independ-
ents continues to lead his flock He
had the high score at the Harms last
night with 535. Soule was the only
other Independent TO go over 500.
That second game scared the In
dependents so that they went like
a bunch Of scared rabbits in the last
game. Two pins is too narrow a
margin.
Every time that the independents
and Colts have been tied, a coin has
been tipped to decide their standing
IN the column so that the position
may be impartially set forth in these
columns. Today the Colts won the
toss for the first time and went 10
the top. Their record merits the
position.
Roantree had a little too much Of
the minstrelsy Monday night and
had poor scores in the first two
games He came back in the third
and with the team captain managed
to grab the victory.
The Independents and PretzeIs
roll next week at the Harms and the
Athletics and Colts a. the Deisen-
roth alleys.
Even up and six months TO play is
the status of the Colts and Independ-
ent teams.
The Athletics are gradually edg-
ing away from the Pretzels though
they are at standstill in the per-
centage column.

J. H. WITCH GETS HIGH MARK
Bowls 2s1 in One Game and 210 in
Each of Other TwO-Inde-
pendents Win Twice.

Salzmann's Colts were in their ele-
ment last night when they pushed
the Pretzels in their downward jour
ney in the race for the pennant in
the Commercial Bowling league. The
champs were back on the Deisenroth
alleys and they certainly made
things hum. Beside setting a high
score record for the team, J. H. Wich
hung up two high scores, one on a
single game and the other for total
for three games. His record amount
ed to 651 pins, 231 of which were
secured in one game and 210 in each
of the others. 1t will take mighty
good bowling to go above that mark.
The Pretzels, though they lost all
three games, bowled in much better
style than they have in a month and
ordinarily would have won with the
score that they made.
ATHLETICS DROP TWO.
The Independents managed to
keep abreast of the Colts by win
ming two of three games from the
Athletics. The Independents bowled
at the Harms and there was de-
cided fall in their total score. The
first game went to the Athletics in
a walk, the second to the topnotch-
ers by two pins and the last by
goodly margin. The scores:
