Fight Your Rheumatism
 With the Right Ammunition

Rheumatism is caused by millions of tiny germs, which are entrenched in the blood where they cannot be reached by locally applied liniments. They must be literally routed and forced out of the blood by a remedy which searches them out and puts them to flight.
 For more than 50 years S. s. S. has been recognized as the most re- liable blood remedy made. It goes deep down into the blood cells, and purifies and cleanses the circulation of every trace of impurity. It is the right ammunition for Rheumatism and has been used in thousands of cases with gratifying results.
 You can obtain s. s. s. at any drug store. Take no substitute. Write to our medical director, regarding your own case. Address Swift Specific Co. ID, Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga.

RAIN OF SAFETIES
Take Every Advantage of This
 Relentless Enemy

Fighting disease is the most important warfare known to mankind, because we are all subject to it's attack.
 One of the most common foes is Rheumatism which attacks with re1ent- less violence, and often leaves it's vic- tim entirely helpless. Rheumatism is so often successful against it's victim be- cause the wrong ammunition is used against it.
 sToo many people make the mistake of treating only the symptoms and en- tirely overlooking it's source. They are 50 anxious to find relief from it's tortur- ing pains that they expect local ap- plications of liniments and lotions to accomplish what is impossible.

BASERUNNING POOR

Stupid baserunning prevented the Barons from gaining an early lead, and it was not until the ninth frame, with two men down, that a local tosser crossed the pan. The lone tally proved sufficient to win the game, as Carmen Hill had mastered the Gulls for the entire afternoon.
 The Gulls never had an opportunity to score in the first game. Hill allowed only six hits, but never did he allow two to come in one inning.
 Ponds poor work allowed the Bar ons to tally the winning marker in the ninth Southworth opened with walk and was sacrificed to second by Shee- han Bill Webb hit a grounder to Con dolh and he booted it. Southy oyerran third base and was thrown out. Webb swiped second and took third on Lunte's error. Johnston hit grounder to Lunte Pond failed to touch the bag and Doc was safe. Meanwhile Webb crossed the plate and game was won.

A few years ago Argentina and
Chile had very serious dispute about
boundary line which involved much
land, also national honor. The dis
pute became very bitter, and with the
good sense that European nations lack,
who claim to be far superior in such
things, they settled it by arbitration.
On the boundary line between the
two countries, high up in the moun-
tains, they erected statue sixty feet
high, a statue of Christ, and placed on
it the inscription, Sooner that these
mountains crumble to dust than either
Chile or Argentina break the treaty
