Begin Right Now to
Conquer Your Rheumatism

If you are going to again rely
upon the liniment bottle toStry to
rub your Rheumatism away, you
will be doomed again to nothing
but disappointment. A disease
that can cause so much pain and
suffering is not on the surface Of
the skin, and cannot be rubbed
away.
Many forms of Rheumatism are
caused by a tiny disease germ in
the blood, and in such cases the
only logical treatment is to search
out and remove these germs from

G. NJ. PRODUCTION
INCREASED EACH
QUARTER OF 1921
Buick Sells $1,000 Cars in Thira.
Quarter; Half of Total
Production.

General Motors relative production
has forged ahead each quarter. In
the September period corporation
plants shipped 80 per cent of all pas
senger automobiles above the Ford
class. Excluding Fords, there were
1900 more passenger cars sold the
third than the second 1921 quarter and
General Motors was responsible for
5000 of. these. General Motors sales
the first quarter were % per cent of
the total; 80 per cent the second quar-
ter and 80 per cent the third. Il seems
likely that the corporation for the year
will attain the 33 per cent ratio of
1920 as operations now are on more
satisfactory basis than with many
other companies. Unlike last winter,
President Du Pont says General Mo-
tors does not expect to close any of
its plants this year.
Bucks development of the four-cy-
Under car was stimulus to produc
ton not unlike that experienced by
Studebaker through its new models.
Buick sold more than 81 900 cars the
third quarter, about half the corpora
tons total. Bucks total was 5000
more than Studebaker for the same
quarter and 10000 more than the pre-
vious Buick quarter.
Cadillac Slumps
Cadillac, the other best known
unit, slumped in the third period from
more than 5000 to slightly under o.
900 cars. This resulted from the ne
cessary relaxation preparatory to the
introduction of the new model. Cadil-
lac is meeting with marked sales sue
cess and this unit is now operating
practically at capacity. Probabilities
are that the final quarter will be the
best of the year.
Chevrolet, the corporations largest
unit, with sales of 10000 cars last
year, at it's reduced price of $525 is
fighting for Ford business. Sales the
second and third quarter quadrupled
the first three months total of 5000.
The Chevrolet selling organization is
being extended and revitalized and Of
ficials feel that its great development
is yet to come. The Scripps-Booth
plant, which is being disposed of, sold
less than 5000 last year against &c. |
300 for Oakland and $4,000 for Odds.
offers a complete line of
cars from four to eight cy-
inders while the Oakland sport model
S receiving particular attention.
With it's five remaining passenger |
,ar companies General Motors on its
1919 record, has capacity for $4,000
vehicles ranging in price from little
more than $500 for the lowest pricer
Chevrolet to ten times that figure for
The Cadillac enclosed models.

Calumet, 440.
The Industrial Commission now fss
213 unpaid deputies, who issue child
labor permits in various communities.
There is at least one permit officer
in each county and also in each city
of over 1000 population. One-half
of these permit officers are school
people and most of the others, judges.
Who is the permit officer in any COM
munity can usually be ascertained
from the school superintendent, and
can always be gotten by writing the
Industrial Commission. General Or
der COTS, included in the General Or
ders on Fire Prevention provides, that
pumps used in connection with under
ground gasoline storage tanks, must
be approved by the Industrial commits
sion. Last winter, the Commission
decided that it would not approve
visible measuring pumps, unless they
eliminated four hazards, l, Having the
electric motor and switch installed in
the base of the pump, 2, Keeping gaso-
line stored in the glass cylinders, 3,

hunting game unlaWIully III Wis
consin is expensive sport, and it be-
comes still more expensive when gull
ty men try to lie themselves clear be-
fore the court. Recently, conserva-
lion warden at Amigo arrested some
men who were hunting deer with a
dog. The warden caught the men in
the woods, and wishing to be decent to
them he permitted them to go to the
hotel for the night. The next morning
these men appeared in court with
some witnesses and stated that they
hadn't been hunting, had not had their
dog in the woods, and had killed no
deer though one was in their posses
sion when they were arrested. The
warden lost his case, but he didn't rest
there. In a few days he had the men,
and those who swore them free ar
rested for perjury, and on advice OF
their lawyer they pleaded guilty. One
man was sent to Waupun for two
years. one was fined $1,000, two were
fined $500 each, two others were fined
5000 each and one was paroled to the
State Board of Control for two years.
