Tn the spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muse ular and Inflammatory Rheuma- tisn. i suffered only those who have it know, for over three years. l tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor but such relief as 1 received was only temporary. Finally, 1 found rem edy that cured me completely and it has never returned.

Cars Slide Down Hill

A light fall of snow last week left
the roads in a dangerous, slippery
condition, and several auto accidents
have been reported as a result.
One of the most thrilling of these
occurred on the Casanova hill out of
Hudson last Friday evening, when
B. A. Symes, of this city, alone in a
Ford roadster, sent his car through
the fence and slid twenty-five feet
down the almost perpendicular en-
bankment into the gully ON the west
side of the road.
Mr.. Synes was returning from a
trip to Saltwater. Coming up the
hill out of Hudson he met an Alton
car and attempted to turn out to give
more room. The ruts were slippery,
and the roadster slid up against the
fence. Mr.. Symes was driving very
slowly, and was almost stopped when
suddenly he heard the fence breaking
from the pressure of his car. With
quick presence of mind he averted
the practically certain catastrophe of
a tip-over by swinging the front of
his car directly into the fence, tear
ing right through it and sliding
straight down to the bed of the gully.
The car struck the soft mud bank on
the other side and stopped so sudden
ly that number of window sashes
which were beside Mr.. Symes in the
car, described a neat arc and sailed
out through the windshield. The I'M
pact of the car on the bank of the
gully tore off the radiator, bent in the
front wheels and dislocated other
parts of the machine, but Mr.. Symes
escaped without a scratch. A car
sent up from Hudson to take care OF
the wrecked roadster had very mar
row escape from also sliding down
the embankment, on top of the wreck.
The same evening Herman Halsted
had thrilling experience on the Bel
denville hill while enroute to Ellis
worth. Herman, who was taking a
passenger to Ellsworth, had driven
about two-thirds of the way up the
hill at Beldenville when he was forced
to stop on account of another car,
which had slid across the road and
was stalled near the top. AS soon as
Herm. slapped his big touring car 1t
began te siip back down the hill. He
was unable to stop it, and even run
ming in forward gear it continued to
gain momentum and had gained a
terrific rate of speed before it finally
came to a stop several rods beyond
the foot of the hill. The fact that
the machine held to the road saved
the occupants from nasty spill.

NO INSURANCE IF
YOUR LITTLE STILL
BURNS THE HOUSE

A blow is aimed at the lincolnshire"
industry in statement By Otto A.
Braun, insurance agent, who stated
today that an insurance company is
not liable for damage done by fire
caused by a still.
Mr.. Braun added that it is likely
that even if a fire was not caused by
a still, the fact that a still had been
in operation would mean that the
company is not liable
aside from the fact that the oper-
alton of a still is no doubt an illegal
act, the standard fire insurance policy
of Wisconsin provides that the COM
pany shall not be liable for loss or
damage occurring while the hazard
is increased by any means within the
control or knowledge of the insur-
ed said Mr.. Braun.

CLASS TEAMS OPEN SEASON

The basketball season was opened
with rush at the high school yester-
day when the four classes clashed in
the first games of the inter-class
basketball tournament.
The Seniors met the Juniors, the
Juniors losing by score of Is to s..
The team work of the Juniors was
brilliant and flashy at times, but their
many wild attempts at baskets were
unsuccessful. The stellar work of the
Senior forwards, Smith and Sans
burn, was outstanding, while Osen,
at center, and Walter Pearson, guard
did remarkable floor work for the 4th
year team. Royce Deans, playing
the other guard for the Seniors, aid
ed materially in keeping the Juniors
on the short end of the count.
The Freshmen Sophomore game
was battle royal and at the end of
the playing time the score stood 6-6.
Two overtime periods of three min
uteS each were played and IN the sec
ond overtime period Follansbee netted
the winning field goal for the Frosh,
and won the game, 8-6.
The Freshman team worked like
one mighty machine, and each player
merits the right to represent one of
the points in huge star.
Parr and McKinnon, at forwards for
the Sophonores, helped keep their
team in the running until the Frosh,
by burst of speed on the part of
Savage, Follansbee, Dawson and Lor-
INFER Johnson, showed their suprem-
acy and proved that the mighty
Sophomore combination was not in
vincible.
The semi-finals and finals will be
played in the near future.

SCENIC HIGHWAY

A meeting was held at the Com
munity Service rooms Monday after
noon, at which scenic highway from
Saltwater along the st. Croix to Su-
perior, was discussed and a start
made that is likely to develop into
putting thru such a program in 1921.
The proposed highway is part OF
the Mississippi Scenic Highway as
ISOLATION, with headquarters In st.
Louis. This is a great big proposition,
one with great possibilities in it in
commercial way. 1t plans TO bring
auto traffic from the South.
Camping facilities and tourist bu-
reaus along the way are some of the
means of service the association pro-
poses to render.
There is no more beautiful scenery
anywhere than along the st. Croix
and this seems a good chance to ad-
vertise it to the world.-Stillwater

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Florence Vlieland has the hon.
or of winning the first certificate
awarded anyone in River Falls high
school for proficiency in typewriting.
Thissaward is offered anyone by the
Underwood Typewriter Co. who can
write forty net words per minute for
ten consecutive minutes with not
more than five errors. They issue
their own speed test mate rial and send
it out monthly to all schools on their
Awards list. Our school has recent
ly been placed on both the Reming-
ton and Underwood lists, so our stu
dents are eligible to work for these
awards. The other members of the
Senior Tipping class are working hard
praise their rate of speed, and no
doubt they will receive their certifi-
Gates in December.
The next award, after the certifi-
cate, is the leather card case, and one
must write sixty net words to win it.
Florence already averages over six
ty words per minute, and is looking
forward to the December test mater
ial. Supervised typewriting has new
er been taught in this school before,
so the rate of speed in the Senior
class was not as high as it should
have been to start with, but they are
on the highway now to efficient type
writing.
Both the Remington and Underwood
Typewriting Machine Companies are
very generous with their awards,
which offer an incentive to the stu
dents to increase in speed. Our
equipment has been bettered consid-
erably since the beginning of the
year, and we have ten Underwoods
and three Remingtons in our depart
ment. The old sewing room makes a
fine place for tipping and the room has
been provided with standard type
writing desks. We shall be glad to
have patrons of the school, who are
interested, visit our department at
any time.

NEAR EAST RELIEF NOTICE

Z A Near East Relief drive will take
place soon after Dec. z.
opotania, "Come over and Help Us"
opotania, "Come Over and Help Us"
and that call is as urgent today as it
was in the days Of long ago.
In Armenia, Syria and Mesopotam-
ia hundreds are dying from starva-
ton and exposure. Little ones are
pleading for morsel of bread. These
terrible, heartbreaking facts are here.
Among peace and plenty, let US not
forget to share, a small portion at
least, with those innocent ones who
are crushed by the awful tragedy of
war.
There are at least 100000 war or
phans to be cared for, besides the
adult population that needs help.
To save the lives of these war vic
TINS is the work of the. Near East
Relief committee.
The Red Cross and the Near East
Relief are the only two organizations
chartered by Congress to do relief
work. Now all work in Asia Minor
is given over to the Near East Re-
lief, and that organization is respon-
sible to Congress for work done and
money expended. It's accounts in As
la are audited by American Consular
Agents. The money from this city
and vicinity will be sent through the
First National Bank of River Falls.
When the appeal was made last
year, Wisconsin responded nobly. We
hoped at that time Congress would
shoulder the expense this year, but it
was not to be. Wilson and Congress
could not agree. Congress did, how
ever, appropriate the Red Cross
sum of money to be used and they in
turn gave some of it to the Near East
Relief. But for that they would not
have had enough to carry on the work
begun.
1t is estimated that about half
million refugees are available to begin
life anew, had they only proper farm
implements and seed grain to start
with. This year they did well with
what they had to do with. They are
very anxious to help themselves, but
America must remain their financial
as well as their moral support for
some time to come.
