 f'I have been suffering with rheu- matic pains for years. My hands would get numb and cold and times I would drop articles that I had in my hands. Dishes, and all fell to the floor. I was discouraged for it was almost impossible for me to walk up stairs. I would have to crawl up with the assistance of the railing. It was only with the hardest of efforts that I could reach the top. I did not know what I was to do.i I had tried many, many remedies but they didn't

Auto Competition
 Hurts Gas Industry
M.sssc,-. ss.-ss.e.- sS1sssS

The phenomenal growth of the automobile industry and the increas- ing use of fuel oil by steamships and railroad engines threatens to cripple the artificial gas industry. This an nouncement was made yesterday by Philip H. Gadsden, president of the United Gas Improvement Co.,, of Philadelphia and a member of the board of directors of the American Gas Association, following a meeting of the board.
 Unless present restrictions are re- moved and gas rates sufficiently ad- vanced to enable gas producers to compete with the automobile in dustry for crude oil every community in the country will suffer-" MT. Gads- den added.
 Contracts between gas companies and the larger oil distributors will expire in the next few months and offers of renewals are being refused. Already many contracts have expired and a. number of the largest gas com = panieS are operating on hand-to- mouth basis, either borrowing the ne- cessary supply of gas oil or buying it each day.
 In many cities of the South and East city, state and federal officials have intervened to save the gas com panies, it was said by officials of the association. Here the gas rates have either been advanced or the local statutes amended to enable the gas companies to furnish the gas on a heating power basis, whereas for mally the gas was gauged by it's "cand1e power.''
 To acq1aint the people of the country with the situation in the gas industry the association intends to launch an educational campaign.
 Approximately 2s.0o0,o 900 barrels o1 gas oil are consumed in this country

DEWEY VICTORY
 ANNIVERSARY
Battle of Manila Bay
 Fought May 1, 1898.

The battle of Manila was fought twenty-tvo years ago Saturday. It was the first important American naval victory in the Spanish war and had a great moral effect on the American people and the soldiers and sailors of this country. May l, the day on which the battle was fought, is now known as Dewey Day. in memory of the late Admiral George Dewey, who only held the rank of Commodore at the time he guided his ships against the Spanish fleet and achieved a, complete victory.
 The Asiatic squadron of the United States Navy, under command of Dewey, was at Hongkong on April 25, 1898, the day on which the United States declared war against Spain, when word was cabled announcing the declaration. The Commodore was ordered to have his fleet, con sisting of the Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Concord, Perel Hugh McCulloch, Nanshan and Zafro, proceed at full speed to Phil lippine waters and destroy the Span ish fleet stationed there. The latter was under command of Admiral Montojo.
 The American squadron met the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay. The lat ter was old and antiquated, the fol- lowing ships making up the fleet: Reina Cristina, Castilla, Is1a de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, Don Juan de Austria and the Don Antonio de UIloa. The battle had not proceeded far before it became evident that Dewey's ships were greatly superior to those of Montojo. Two of the Spanish ships were set on fire and the others raked with broadsides from the American ships, but the Spaniards continued to fight gamely until all their ships were sunk or destroyed. The victory of the Amer ican fleet was gained without the loss of a single man or ship.
 There were 1,74S Americans en- gagged under Dewey and of this num- Der seven were only slightly wound ed. There were no other casualties l The Spanish, however, lost 167 killed
 and 214 wounded out of a total ot 1875 men engaged.
 Dewey's victory aroused great en- thusiasm in the United States and al 1 a session of Congress a joint resolu- ton was adopted rendering the thanks of the nation to the Commo. dore and his officers and men. The secretary of war was authorised tc l present to the officers and mer bronze medals commeInorating the | great victory. Dewey was further 1 honored on May 10, 1898, by being promoted to the rank of Rear Ad- | miraI. Less than a year after hi: victory at Manila, on March 3, 1898
 he was again honored by being pro
 noted to the rank of Admiral.

On this important date, in 14S1r Mahomet IL, Sultan of Turkey, died He had taken Constantinop1e from the Christian world unable to defend it. This had been in 1453, one of the great dates of history.
