Some Forms Of Rheumatism Durable

Rheumatism is a disease charac-
terized by pains in the joints and
in the muscles. The most common
forms are: Acute and chronic
rheumatism, rheumatci headaches,
sciatic rheumatism, and lumbago.
All Of these types can be helped
absolutely by applying some good
liniment that penetrates. An ap-
plication Of Sloans Liniment two
or three times a day to the affect
ed part will, give instant relief.
Sloans Liniment is good for pain
and especially rheumatic pain, be-
cause it penetrates to the seat o'the
trouble, soothes' the afflicted part

BALL
NIP AND TUCK
Home Team in Lead Till Accident
OCCurd

A fine game of base ball was
played at the Agency Sun
day between the home Indian
team and the Gettysburg "Cubs.'
With Frank Means pitching and
Oliver Black Eagle catching, for
the Agency team, there was not
very much for the other players to
do for a few innings. Our team
led all the way. Our boys com
menced to beat Lugream from the
first and had a good comfortable
lead and wert not worrying at all
when, due to a few errors. the
opposing team scored a run or
two. With men on bases, Means
frightened up as Gettysburg would
try to steal bases, but due to Black
Eagles deadly throws the ~en
would be nipped every time. The
game was progressing very nicely
until the beginning of the eighth
inning when Black Eagle was acct
tentally spiked, in the ankle. by
Tillotson. This n%ecessitated the
placing of Means in the catcher's
place and Hates Him to plate.
Then a merry 90 round started and
Gettysburg scored six runs and
won the game to 6.
Special credit must be given to
Freddie LaPlant for his work as

improved upon; also, Qsaac) Gill
