NEW TREATMENT THAT
KNOCKS RHEUMATISM

75c Box Free to Any Sufferer.
Up in Syracuse, N. Y, treatment
for rheumatism has been found that
hundreds of users say is wonder, re-
porting cases that seem little short OF
miraculous. just few treatments
even in the very worst cases seem to
accomplish wonders even after other
remedies have failed entirely. It
seems to neutralize the uric acid and
lime salt deposits in the blood, driv
ing all the poisonous clogging waste
from the system. Soreness, pain
stiffness, swelling just seem to melt
away and vanish.
The treatment first introduced by
Mr.. Delano is so good that its owner
wants everybody that suffers from
rheumatism or who has a friend so af-
flicted, to get free 75c package from
him to prove just what it will do in
every case before penny is spent
Mr.. Delano says: "To prove that the
Delano treatment will positively over
come rheumatism, no matter how Sc
we're, stubborn or long standing the
case, and even after all other treat
ments have failed, I will, if you have
never previously used the treatment
send you full size 75c package free
if you will just cut out this notice and
send it with your name and address
with 10c to help pay postage and dis
| tribution expense to me personally"

Steel PROPELLER FOR
USE ON AIRPLANES
Prof. Morgan Brooks of Univer-
sity of Illinois Develops
New Device.

Morgan Brooks, professor of cleo
trical engineering Mt the University or
Illinois. has developed a practically
noiseless, high-speed, steel airplane
propeller, intended for direct connec-
zion with the highest speed gasoline
engine, according t. announcement at
Urbana, III.
A considerable loss OF power Is now
endured in the reduction speed gear
used In all but the smallest airplanes.
as alrplane engines have a normal
speed greater than the two-blade
wooden propeller can stand.
This was OF special interest to Brig.
Gen. L. u. o. Charlton, air attache
to the British embassy at Washington.
who saw the models tested at the
university recently.
"The laws of air dynamics are suf-
fciently well known to make a test OF
A model almost conclusive as to the
results to be expected from a full
sized propeller" Professor Brooks
said. AT the same speed the thrust
or pull of n propeller varies with the
fourth power of a dimension, there
fore the pull of five pounds found on
test of m 1s-lnch model indicates a
pull of 50 pounds Of a propeller OF
80 inches in diameter. The test was
made below standard speed. so a nor
nal thrust would be obtained for a
practice plane With only SO inches d.
ameter. rs compared to the s-foot
spread Of the planes used In Chanute
field, Rantenl. H.
The particular advantage of a small
diameter would be the lifting of the
landing wheels to a position much
nearer the center of gravity axis,
thus making a poor landing much SAT-
er from avoidance of headers. not un-
common with the present type OF
planes, Professor Brooks said.

judge.

Haupt came under police notice first
in 1882 in Philadelphia on a charge of
obtaining s. by false pretenses. He
served two years for this crime In the

"The East Side for Christ" seems
literally to be true, as but few present
last night at the Diamond Street M.
e. church who had not accepted Jesus
Christ. Among the several who were
considering the matter, much good
work was done; these people sitting
or standing quietly and receptively
while personal workers labored hard
in an effort to persuade them to come
to the front. One young girl made
the attempt but could not quite make
up her mind. II she comes again to-
night, 1t may not be quite so difficult.
Several men could not be persuaded.
Three women made the decision
which brought them finally to the
altar where they were received with
great rejoicing. Eighty-three alto
gether have been converted so far
since the meeting began.
The song service last night was un-
usually inspiring. There were 13 men
and about 25 women and girls in the
choirs. Thirteen, however, was not
an uniucky number so far as the sing

music was very beautiful-most OF
