THE PROBLEM
Diamonds =

Diamonds of various sizes are described or outIn-
ed, in the puzzle chart
The problem is to ascertain how many diamonds
there are altogether Read the rules and conditions
carefully
By Diamond" is meant character similar in
shape to the diamond on ordinary playing cards,
the four lines describing it being of equal length.
This may be ascertained, if in doubt, by either
measurement, cutting the diamond and fold
ing it over in the center, by any other means
which the ingenuity of contestants may suggest.
Provided the simple rule is complied with
that the lines describing each diamond be Of the
same length, the lines in the chart may be used
often desired in forming different combinations
each combination constituting individual da-
mond. Every possible combination, therefore, con-
testants may avail themselves of to form diamonds
through the manipulation of lines of equal length
is permissible. No alterations in the lines, however
they appear in the chart be made, such as
extending erasing them
There is Joker" or trick of any kind in the
chart. The chart was drawn with absolute pre-
csion and accuracy and contestants should be able
to determine at glance whether the lines in the
various combinations of equal length.
The purpose of the Diamond" puzzle is to afford
and pleasant mental exercise the read
ers of The Herald and to invite new subscriptions
from those who not already enrolled among those
who subscribe for Washngton's fastestgrowng news
paper.
The prizes in this contest will be awarded to
those submitting the best solutions, regardless of
whether such solutions absolutely correct or
not.

WEEKS FRIENDS ARE
GROWING OPTIMISTIC
Expect Candidate to Get First Ballot
Votes from Every State
Not Pledged.

The managers of the campaign Of Sem
ator John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts,
for the Presidential nomination at Chi
cago expect their candidate to receive
FIRST ballot votes from every State in
the Union, with the exception of those
States which have formally instructed
their delegates for other candidates. This
IS a record which will not be equalled
by any other candidate before the con-
vention. and is expected to have a de-
cided effect in demonstrating the fact
that Senator Weeks has a nationwide
following.
In such States as Missouri. Oklahoma
and Alabama, the vote for Senator
Weeks is expected to average more than
one-haf Of the entire delegation, and
in other States, such as Arkansas, Ne
vada and Arizona, the Massachusetts
man is assured of one or more delegates
on the first ballot.
Senator Weeks followers feel confident
that he will lead on the first ballot, and
this lead is expected to be so substantial
as to assure him a permanent strength
in the convention with excellent chances
Of his being nominated on the third or
fourth ballot

Cornbread made with the soda left in

by implication such oornbread cannot

Nature Calls for Her Own
S. S. S.
In Spring the Demands Upon the Vital Forces Are Especially Severe
Let S. S. S. Supply Needed Strength

You can't expect to go through
the hot summer months in good
physical trim if you start weak and
nervous, with vitality at its lowest
cbb, and an absence of the vim and
vigor that make daily duties and
pleasures delightful pastime instead
of narrowing and painful tasks.
The only way to do is to take S.
S. S. now, and put yourself in con-
dition, as the athlete does before
contest, so that when the strain
comes you will have the stamina to
withstand the demands made upon
your physical powers.
If you are feeling out of sorts,
with nerves on edge-if you suffer
from headachcs-pass sleepless
nights-if rheumatism grips you in
its terrible clutches-if malaria runs
rampant through your system-if
you are subject to pirnples, boils,
carbuncles, or other forms of skin
eruption-if your complexion is yell
low, skin parched and cracked-if
you are thin and emaciated-if any
one of these symptoms fit your case,
there is not much doubt but that
your blood has become contaminated
by impurities, and you need S. S. S.
S. S. S. helps nature to rid her
self of blood disorders, including
the disagreeable catarrh, the dread
ed scourge scrofula, and rheumatism
in its many forms. Recognized medi-
cal authorities have found that
catarrh, malaria, rheumatism and
kindred diseases are due to impov-
erished, impure or poisoned blood,
and the Swift Specific Company has
verified this fact in its own expert
mental laboratories at Atlanta, Ga.
So you must treat these troubles
through the blood-where the trou-
bic is fostered-if you hope to be
strong and we'll again.

that gets right into the

of its poisons, puts it in condition

brings about an improved condition

road. The more time you waste with
drugs and depending en-
tirely on external liniments the
longer you win be sick, because you
