No More Rheumatism
Torturing Pains and Swollen Joints
 Vanish When Rheuma Is Used.

At last a real remedy for rheuma- tism! And good one it must be when Lee & Osgood Co. and good druggists everywhere sell it on the no cure no-pay basis.
 Rheumatics should hail the news with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy and has record of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany. Ga, says about it:
 q had sciatic rheumatism for two years, and tried every medicine offered for rheumatism. Tried many doctors was treated at one of the best known southern sanatoriums, and if 1 inn proved any I did not realize it. I am conductor on the Central of Georgia Railroad and had secured pass to Hot Springs, Ark, to take treatment. About that time I saw Rheuma adyer- Used and concluded to try it. abandoned my trip, took three bottles, and now feel as well as ever. I am going to make everybody see who | has rheumatism try it. I would not take hundred thousand dollars for what Rheuma has done for me. would rather be dead than live as was before the use of Rheuma"
 1 If you have rheumatism in any form, don't delay-try Rheuma today A large bottle, sufficient for two weeks treatment is not expensive and your money back if it does not give you quick and joyful relief.

ey as the proceeds all go to the club for the purchase of athletic equip ment. MT. Kennedy guarantees that the next show will be even better than the first one, and he hopes that the Norwich people will trust te boys to rut on good show and patronize the next bout.
 Three of the bouts have already been signed up and they look good One bout will be between Terry Nit chel and Jackie Norman, both boys having met before in a draw The other bout will be between Goats Doag of Fort Terry. who claims a championship in the west, and Sailor Michaels who fought here at the last bout The third bout will be between Johnny Balzerene of Fort Terry and Sailor Schad. Balzerene has fought in Chicago and recently fought draw with Schad.
 The boys are trying to get 8 match with Red Rankin but Red seems to fight to fight shy of anyone in his

 be signed with Geacoble of the State Pier. The Base boys would like to
 hear from Red.

Washington, May 23.-Whether the new work or fight" army draft regu- lation announced today shall apply to professional baseball players, and thereby probably put the big leagues out of business for the period of the war, will not be decided until the point is raised on an appeal to the provost marshal generals office after the regulation becomes effective July 1.
 At first it was indicated that ball players certainly would be classed among those in non-useful occupations who must seek new jobs or. go ir1eo the army. Provost Marshal General Crow would be no decision until a case arose through official channels, and later the war department issued this formal statement:
 No ruling as to whether baseball players or persons engaged in golf, tennis or any other sport come under the regulations regarding idlers or non- essential pursuits, will be made until a specific case has been ap- pealed to the provost marshal gen. erals office"
 The paragraph of the new regula- ton which may touch the baseball tIIy CTS IS d oQO-Nlf1o1O1l O1 IiIS CuQ- meration of classes affected. and says:
 Persons, including ushers and oth- CT attendants, engaged in and occu- pied in. and in connection with games, sports and amusements. excepting act ua1 performers in legitimate concerts, operas CT theatrical performances"

 Detroit, May 23-"Such an order would cause us to close our park" said Frank J.

NOTICE

Commencing June 1, 1918. the price of gas furnished by this department will be as follows:
 Up to 3O.OoO GU. it. per month s15o per 1000 GU. it.
 30,OOO to 15o,OO0 GU. it. per month $1.SO per 1000 GU. it. for entiGe amount used.
 All over 15O,OOO GU. 1t. per month $115 per 1000 GU. 1t. for entire amount used.
 No bills will be rendered, however, at a less amount than that which is calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block.
 In making this increase, your Com missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that. because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufacturing of gas. it is impossible to sell the prSd- uct at the present price.
 It is hoped that this increase wiD be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant. the price will be reduced.

the Canadian forces overseas.

It's a wonderful thing for our army that it is going in for this sort of fighting. It builds up spirit, morale and confidence. In short, it makes for fighting spirit. And it does not make for brutality. Ask your parson or priest who is in a cantonment about this, if you don't believe me The chances are 10 to 1 that he had ring side seat. He knows He's see- ing life stripped of it's Sunday clothes as he has never seen life before. And he's enjoying the experience and finds that it's pretty good life after all.
 He-your parson, priest or rabbi will tell you that our doughboys look at this ring fighting in the right light. That it not only helps make fighting men out of them; but that they also get a pile of fun out of it; that if teaches them to smile when the blows are thickest.
 There was one of the doughboys, for example. He had earned the so- briquet, The LenoX House Assassin, . because he sent them all to sleep But like most good men, he eventually met his Waterloo. When he came out of this sleep, both eyes were l swollen shut.
 What the hell do I care" he piped, when he got his senses, i've seen ali there there is to be seen in this ] camp"
 Then there is the story of the Irish | fighter, native son who was true to tradition and got aboard a pair of Mundell last shoes before the draft
 caught him. He won quite a little
 glory in the ring through sheer grit
 and love of fighting One night in
 the barracks, they were asking him about the Irish question, the Sein
 Finn, Home Rule, Conscription and sc
 on.
 Pat" up spoke one of them. what the devil are your brothers back home fighting for, anyway? Is. it Home
 Rule?"
 Home Hule nothing" came tht
 ready tongue, Its the Marquis o1
 Queensbury Rules, if ye must know
 the truth of the matter"
 But it remains for the colored sol dier to give the final touch to arm, fighting humor One night we wer
 holding the preliminary bouts of
 colored championship in cam
 somewhere in America. One of them
 a fighter named Harris, stood hea, and shoulders above all other talent Naturally none of the competitor wanted to draw him and the one wh
 did. a sergeant named Payne, wa
 unaware of his bad luck until he wa comfortably seated in his corner, en toying the cheers of the crowd Sud denly he looked across the ring na ; spied Harris in the opposite corner Amid an avalanche he started t crawl out of the ring. t As I was running the bouts tha s night, I thought possibly I had mad } a mistake.
 r Are you Serg. Payne?" I in 3 quired as the first ebony leg cam g through the ropes. ) T was Sergt. Payne to jist mo l ment ago, boss" he grinned at m : but now Fse Sergt. Jones, and Is ] just heard retreat blowin' Goo l night"
 ;, Having had his fun with all of u I he crawled back into the ring. grinne l all over and taught a great figf
 against the colored champion in h e class.

was apprehended this week by in Of
fcer of the government for having
too much -four on hand and not at

ministratOr to return it to market. Mr..
Rexford seems to take the matter as
something of a joke and though he Is
booked to appear before the U. S.

day he has not yet seemed to realize
that he is up against the real thing.
1t seems very odd that Intelligent
people will not realize that We are at
war and that the orders of our gov
eminent are to be obeyed. War time
orders and laws are intended for i'm
mediate and prompt enforcement and
the easy going way some people have
been accustomed to Is not the order of

ENLIST IN THE MARINES

Friday morning five of our young
lads started for st. Paul to offer
themselves for enlistment in the Ma,
rine Corps. This little party was or
ganized by Virgil Turner, son of R. A.
Turner of the Brookings Press, and
in addition to himself there were
Daniel Beals, Geo. Hepner, Erwin Ba-
con and Richard Zeigler. Their many
friends from the high school, as well
as their relatives, turned out to bid
them GOdspeed at the depot and they
took with them the best wishes Of
every one. All of them passed the ex-
animation at st. Paul except Virgil
Turner, whom the doctors there said
had a heart that "murmured". This
is perhaps attributable to his rapid
growth and an affection that a few
years time will cure. Virgil is expect
ed home this week and a thorough ex-
animation will no doubt tell what is
necessary to fit him to go into service
at some later date.
