This Man Is Ruptured Yet Plays
Football SaRely-BecRuse He Uses
A BROOKS APPLIANCE
Just because you are unfortunate in
being ruptured is no good reason why
you should not freely engage in every
form of athletic sport, dancing, skat-
ing and all amusements.
A Brooks Appliance will hold nrmiy
yet with perfect comfort at all times
and under all conditions. There are
no hard pads nor springs of any kind
about a Brooks Appliance. A soft,
pliable rubber air cushion is so
shaped as to firmly cling to the body
and hold the rupture back just as
you would do with the pressure of
your hand.
The percentage Of permanent cures
that the Brooks Appliance makes is
astonishingly great. Over 21,000 peo-
ple-a1 ages, men, women and chill
dren, new cases and old-have given
written testimony Of cures.
A FREE TRIAL is always allowed.
Do not be deceived by counterfeits
and so-called Brooks Model" Look
always for the trade mark and sigma
ture of c. e. Brooks in gold upon
every genuine Appliance.
The success Of the Brooks is de 20
a secret that truss makers have never
discovered, so shun limitations II you

GYMNASIUM IS
A REAL NEED

Every year the need of gymnasium
for the high school is becoming more
evident. says the 'Grashopper, the
Douglas high school paper, issued by
the students. The auditorium which
serves the dual purpose of an assemb.
ly hall and gym has proved made.
quate. In the first place before
basketball or practice of any gym
activities can be carried on all the
seats must be removed from the hall
This always creates much confusion
besides being hard on the floor. Sec
ondly, the hall is too small to ac-
commodate properly the people who
come to our games and puts many
to decided inconvenience. Perhaps
this condition is keeping people from
the games. In the third place, the
present system is very inconvenient
for the janitor. When basketball
practice is conducted for a couple OF
hours after school. the panitor cannot
sweep the hall or put 1t into order
until practice is over, which nee
essitates his working until a late
hour. Most of the better high schools
of the state have gymnasiums; why
should our school be behind In this
respect?

MEXICANS TO Be
BROUGHT HERE

A committee of the state livestock
association, meeting in Reno Thurs
day and Friday, declared in favor of
bringing Mexican herders into the
northern Nevada territory to aug
ment the Basque herders now EN-
ployed by sheepmen and an effort is
to be made to get considerable num-
bers OF the new class OF sheep ranch
laborers distributed throughout the
states sheep growing districts In ad-
vance Of lambing time next March.
There is no desire, 1t is asserted, to
supplant the Basque with the Mexi-
can, for the admission is made that
the Basque is the most intelligent
and effective worker available to
sheepmen, but departures for Spain
have been many in recent times until
Basque herders are unable to COM
petely fill the demand for their SER
vices. They will be retained, 1t Is
asserted, and their numbers will be
augmented from we'll trained Mexican
herders that are to be brought to this
state from Colorado and New Mexico
New immigration laws have closed
the door to Basque immigration into
the United States.

Gently. which aroused considerable in
terest among the few remaining in
habitants of the town. A small
amount of work at point where no
outcroppings were In evidence at all

CONNECTICUT
YANKEE COMING

Mark Twain's masterpiece, "A
Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's
Court has been made into a motion
picture OF William Fox on a scale
worthy OF the subject. Issued as a
special production. 1t will be filmed
At the Rex Theatre Sunday night.
Known to the multitude OF Mark
Twain lovers as the Yankee" this
saory Is regarded not only as a great
classic OF American humor, but also
as a forceful satire directed against
those who sigh for the good old
times" Mark Twain set out to show
that the world we live In Is the best
OF all possible worlds, and the time
We live In is the best OF all possible
times.
This he did by taking a typical
young American. bright as new
penny. filled with smart, up-to-date
ideas. and setting him down in a
medieval court, where he could judge
for himself whether the knights Of
old were more courageous than the
men OF today. and whether life as a
whole was more comfortable then
than now.
The result is exquisite fantasty and
delicious fooling with sharply
drawn conclusion. "rhe Yankee" is
rated high among Mark Twain's books
and the filming of the story Will be
OF particular interest to Nevada peo-
pie. since the author resided at Vir-
ginia City In the early days of that
camp.
The Yankee is played by Harry G.
Meyers, q well-known light comedian.

POWER FIRE PUMP
PROVES TO BE
EFFICIENT

The power pump. which has been
under construction by A. w. H. Hell
berg for some time past. was given
a try-out Tuesday morning and the
results were most gratifying. The
powerful pump is assembled on a
motor truck. the power used for
propelling the vehicle. also being
used to operate the pump.
Tests were made at practically all
Of the fire cisterns In town and with
two lines of hose and the pump work
ing at top speed, 1t required but q
few minutes to exhaust the supply OF
water. BY actual measurements the
pump will throw a stream OF water
for a distance of 100 feet, and four
strong men are required to hold the
nozzle when the pump Is working
under full pressure.
The tests were witnessed by a big
crowd of people. The first cistern
was pumped out In less than three
minutes and among the crowd of on
lockers were three farmers. After
the pump was stopped one OF them,
VIM. Hussman. declared that the
powerful fire-fghting apparatus was
one more reason why we need reser-
voirs at the head of the Carson river.
At no time has 1t been possible to
pump any of the town cistens dry
with the old hand-engine. and bets
were made that the power pump
would be unable to lower the water.
However. is was easily accomplished.
Under a medium pressure the water
supply undoubtedly would be suffici-
ent for any ordinary requirement or
until supply could be secured from
the river through the irrigation
bitches that pass through town.
The fire truck and pump Is COM
pletely assembled as far as efficiency
is concerned. The body is not finish
ed but will be In a short time. In the
meantime the equipment stands
ready at moments, call as does the
chemical engine, to fight the demon,

The girls and boys basketball
teams of the Douglas county high
school went to Reno last Friday even
ing where they met the Reno high
school teams, the latter winning both
games.
The Douglas girls put up q de-
termined battle but were defeated by

two of the best players was . severe
handicap to the team in the game
with crack team Of Reno.
The Douglas boys lost their game
on a fluke. At the end of the FIRST
half the score was IA to s In favor
of Douglas. Over confidence and
few questionabledecisio by the
referee cost them the game which

ions of referee Hobbs.
The team was accompanied to Reno
by large delegation of rooters, the
