How To Get Relief
From Rheumatism
Scientists Agree That the Cause
Is Due to Waste Products
In the Blood.

The bloodis the means BY which all tissues,
muscles, ligaments and flesh Of the body are
directly or indirectly nourished 1t is also
thru the blood stream that worn-out tissues
and waste products are cast out ofthe system.
When waste products accumulate, they are
menace to life. They cause lowered
vitality, many skin disorders and rheuma-
tism. Genuine relief from the agonies Of
rheumatism can be had only by correcting
the basic trouble-tgaJfs products.
Thousands and thousands Of men and
women during the past so years have cleared
their blood of waste products with S. S. S,
1t is the ideal remedy for rheumatism, be-
cause it removes the poisonous waste matter
which is causing the trouble. There are no
bad after effects and the result is wonderful.

CREDIT SILVER FLOWS
BACK TO UNITED STATES
BY X. NJ, ELISH.
International News Service Staff
CorresDondent.


NEW YORK, oct. Ats task of
helping win the war in the Far East
finished, silver is coming back to the
United States. Millions of dollars of
the precious metal, exported from this
country in the dark war days early in
1918, when the Germans We're ham
mering at the gates of Paris. are now
coming back from the Orient after
serving to allay the fears of the native
populations to whom the term illegal
tender means silver.
Silver protection throughout the
world could not meet the demands Of
the eastern countries during the war,
flushed with wartime prosperity, and
requiring additional currency to fl
nance their growing commerce.
Silver was used during the war to
offset the propaganda of German
agents in the Far East While the
allied forces held back the Germans
completely offset the German efforts
to stir up trouble there. silver dollars,
idle in the vaults Of the United States
treasury. were melted into bars and
shipped to the Orient to restore the
natives waning confidence in their
currency and the allied credit
Outflow of Silver SS13, 3,80S. $3.50.
The imperative necessity of dispell-
ing dis1ueting reports in the Far
East about the reserves was due to the
inheritance of silver in the economic
life of the Far East. 1t is the money
Of the bazars Of India. 1t is the
coin in which bills are paid and pur-
chases made and is the coin with
which the native has been familiar
since childhood and the one bullion in
which he places absolute confidence.
The size of this outflow Of silver
from the United States in the days
when it was considered necessity to
aid in winning the war may be judg-
ed from the figures of the director of

the mint. In the six years from 1915
to 1920 inclusive, imports of silver in
TO the United States amounted to
$36S,9S3,47S, while exports Of silver
totaled $S1S,SOS,536, an excess OF
exports over imports or $444,S75,07S.
ProducerS Of silver in the United
States in the same period was $332,-

the amount of new silver consumed in

The Pittman act of April 1918, au-
thorized the melting of silver dollars

demand. The stock of silver money
held by the United States was reduced
from 15$1,400,624 in 1915 to $54O.2g2,-

Now the chest is being replenished.
Last February the coinage of silver
dollars was resumed and the treasury
is to continue it's purchase of silver
and coming operations until the last
silver dollar melted to help win the
war has been restored.

Most remarkable of all is the fact
that twenty-seven of those victories

that no one-year fighter of any era has

But l guess the strangest part of
the whole thing" comments Flynn.
''is the fact that although Eddie has
won twenty-seven knockout victories
he has never knocked man off his
feet. He has simply cut and jabbed
his foeman to ribbons and reduced
them to such a state of helplessness
that the referee had to stop further
milling to save the other man.

worst beating the big warrior has ever

EDDIE O'HARAT TOUTED
AS COMING CQNQUEROR
Of CHAMPION DEMPSEY
Youngster Started Years Ago:
Has Won SO Battles; Sister
is Factor in Fistic Career.

NEW YORK, Oct. a. n. 81
Those who are wise in ring lore ad-
wise:
Keep your eyes upon Eddie
OHara."
4 year age he was an amateur
lightweight; today this twenty-year-
old New York youngster is being tout
ed as the man who will develop within
a year as Jack Dempsey's most dan
gerOus rival.
An unique feature is that he served
Dempsey as sparring partner in At
lantic City. And Dempsey afterward
said:
He's the cleverest, shiftiest kid l
ever worked against-a regular phan-
tom. And he can hit mighty hard and
he surely can take them better than
about 80 per cent of the sparring part
ners of my whole fistic lifetime.
Sister Stirs Ambition
The very pretty sister of Eddie
O'Hara has helped him considerably in
his training. 1t was this little mite
of femninty who first encouraged her
brother to make try for fistic fame.
She's fight fan, and when she con-
trasted the work of Eddie in his anna
teur way with that of men who earned
big money for their exhibition she
said.
You're better than they are, Eddie
All you need it the chance
While O'Hara's sister worked out
with him in his morning jaunts |
through Central Park, she continued |
to insist that he should take whirl |
at the professional end of the sport
1t was little sister Mae, usually on
horseback, who set the pace for Eddie
in the long sprints which developed |
the muscles of his legs and built up |
his wind.
Eventually Eddie took his sisters

Is the Public Getting Tired?

Is the Public Getting Tired?
We had two cases of sickly gate re-
ceipts lately in the boxing world that
will probably wake promoters up
The fiasco at Jersey City, where the
gate receipts barely paid Wilson and
Downey, was one.
The gate receipts at Philadelphia,
where the take didn't amount to
enough to pay off jackson and Dun
dee, was the other.
Matchmakers and promoters have
an idea that the boxing public is like
the theatrical public. Because Nc
Intyre and Heath have been success
,ul with the same act for thirty years
hey think the boxing public should
all for return matches forever.
Looks now as though the old box
ng teams are through. The boxing
public is tired of the same old act. t.ta,
They've had enough of jackson VS..
Dundee, Leonard VS.. Dundee, Lewis VS..

Fulton was talking about Willis He
actually feared the fellow. ! told him
that he was a better boxer and a bet

wasn't a man in the world who could
take his left on the chin and then come
on for more. He couldn't see it. He
didn't think he could hit Willis with
it. The result was that Fulton was

A HOUSE OF 800

ONE OF the most hopeful things that have happened
at Washington in 4 long time is the proposal OF
Chairman Campbell OF the House rule committee to
cur the House membership to 800. The best thing
about it is that it seems practical.
IT would be TOO much 10 hope that any parti-
cular Congress would limit its own membership.
Legislators are not given to legislating themselves
out OF office. II is even too much 10 hope that the
House will ever refrain, for any length OF time,
from e~nlarging its membership when there Is an
opportunity. The number Of representatives has
been increased with almost every census, until It IS
now ASS. and only the most vigorous public OPPOSE
ton has kept the House from raising the total TO
more than 500, as the 1920 census would have per-
mitted on the old scale OF representation.
Yet everybody familiar with the work OF Con-
gress. knows that the House has lost efficiency and
capacity as it has gained in size. 1t is now so I'M
wieldy from sheer weight OF numbers, that or
ganization and leadership are difficult and proper
discussion and handling OF bills is almost impoS-
sible. Less able men arc attracted. and the able,
ones are lost in the crowd.
II the House could be reduced to SEQ, the quality
OF the House and OF its work would doubtless I'M
prove greatly. with lessened expense and create
comfort. Chairman Campbell proposes to accom-
plish this miracle by means of a constitutions
amendment, making the number permanent and IN
variable, regardless OF population.
Congress may be persuaded to vote such al
amendment. because it would not take effect 10
a decade. There is little question that the publ
would approve, Whatever objections might be raise
in this or that state for reasons of local politics.
