CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM
 AT LAST DISCOVERED
New oil From Germany stops Pain instant-
 Iv In Many Cases.

Iy In Many Cases.
 For years the cause of rheumatism mas heen laid to dozen different reasons Learned doctors even disagreed atnoSs themselves. Only lately has 1t been detin- itely demonstrated that the real cause or many cases of rheumatism Is the absorp- ton by the body of poisons from some in- terusi infection.
 These poisons are absorbed by the blood and deposited in the joints and muscles where they quickly set up inflammation and rause agcnizng pain.
 And now the same German chemistry that created those well-known pain. killers Aspirin for headaches and Novooain for painless dentistry. has come forward with a newly discovered oil for rheumatic pain tops the pain at once in many cases. This oil is so penetrating that it disappears q few seconds after 1t Is rubbed on the skim So astonishing have been the results from it's use in Europe that the American dis ttihutors have authorized local druggists to gte this oil to rheumatic sufferers in this city with a positive written guarantee. sign ed by themselves, to return the dul pur- chase price of the first bottle if you do not set immediate relief from pain. If you are | sufferer from rheumatic pain, no matter how long standing, you owe 1t to yourself to try this wonderful new discovery on ths no-risk offer end see how quickly the II estns disappear. It is called Buhler oil and it is sold by all good druggists such asi The Talr Store. MalinowsN & o'Brien, The clark < Brslnerd Co.,, Miller Hanson Drug co., and The Dickinson Drug Co.

TRIPLE EXECUTION
 SET FOR TOMORROW
One Of Kentucky's Condemned
 Men Is 7i Years Old :

Eddyville. Ky, May s.--Whether the first triple legal electrocution in Kentucky is staged in the western state penitentiary here early tomorrow depends upon possibility of presenta- ton to the supreme court of plea for writ Of error in the case Of Frank Thomas, Fl, murderer. and ac- ton of that high tribunal. The aged man, with record of three men slain, faces the chair for the killing in Jeff ferson county of his friend and bene- factor. Lee Arbegust.
 With Thomas in the prison death house are George Weicli, sentenced to die for the murder near Louisville, of William Oelke, a fellow farmer, and Charles Miller, negro. given the death penalty for murder of two railroad guards in Breckenridge county.
 An effort to carry Thomas case to i the supreme court marks the final skirmish in probably the most stub born legal battle in the states history

to save condemned person. He first was placed in the death house here in January. 1923. shortly before the date set for his execution his counsel obtained a hearing on his sanity in the Lyon county court and a jury de- clared him insane.
 He was removed to state in, lle asylum at Hokinsville and some time late circuit court jury there declar- cd he was sane. An appeal was talk en and the circuit courts findings af- firmed. Last week petition for writ of error to carry the case to the su- preme court was granted in the state court Of appeals and stay Of execu- ton withdrawn.
 Then it was announced counsel would appear before the supreme court today in final effort to obtain intervention. Meanwhile the aged prisoner apparently had abandoned hope and declared he was ready to

PRISONERS GUARDED
six New Orleans Slayers At Place Where They Are To Be Executed Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.
 Amite. La., May S.-Except for the presence of national guardsmen pa trolling the vicinity of the Parish pris- on, where Natale Deamore, Joseph Rini, Joseph Giglio, Andres Leman- tia, Joseph Bocchio and Roy Leona, condemned to die tomorrow between the hours of noon and p. m., for the murder of Dallas Gaines at ln- dependence three years ago, there was little outward appearance to indicate early today that within the next e4 hours wide attention would be focused on this little town.
 The seytette. who have unsuccess- fully fought with every legal proceed ing to save their lives, were brought to Amite yesterday from New Orleans.
 Prison guards constantly watched every move of the condemned men against possible attempts at suicide. The announcement that their attor- neys in New Orleans had ceased to strive for a stay of execution had no visible effect upon them.
 Leona, who stabbed himself yester- day in suicidal attempt before leav- ing the Orleans parish jail, was not seriously injured, it was said.

WESTERN BANKS
AIDED BY CROPS
EASTERN BANKERS SEE HOPE
OF WEST IN PROMISED
BUMPER CROPS
Treasury Officials Are Inclined to
Optimistic View Following Long
List Of Failures In Last
Six Months

Washington.-Wit the number o
bank failures decreasing from month
to month in the states west of the
Mississippi river where stringent
conditions obtained last winter, higf
treasury officials have expressed the
belief that the reported bumper cror
in many of those states had placed
the financial institutions of those dis.
lriets on their feet again.
Treasury records show that 342
banks were forced to close their
doors between January and July 1,
These include 267 state and rs ma.
tional institutions, and while a few
more have gone out of business since,
the records show that the failures in
May were 30 per cent fewer than In
April in states west of the Mississip-
pi and 25 per cent less in June com
pared with May.
Despite the long list of failures
the treasury believes that any tight
ening of credit that may come next
winter will have little effect on the
banks. They have been able to for
tify themselves in various ways and
are prepared to Withstand any calls
that may come to them, except, OF
course, in isolated cases where the
strain may be too great.
The Agricultural Credit corpora
ton organized last spring at the di-
rection of President Coolidge ha, !
been able to reopen some twenty OF |
the banks that failed and advices to
the treasury indicate several score
more in the northwestern states are
now receiving aid which will enable
hem to weather any new crisis.
Most of the banks to which the
corporation has extended and are
mall institutions and require only
mall amount of money to put them
n firm foundation, officials declar-
d. They explained that the corpora
ion, therefore, would be able to help
iany more banks than was original
Y expected.
Commenting further on the report

rowing sections, officials declared
