How to stop
30 9!

There's only one way to stop boils.
Stop the cause of boils! That's COM
mon sense-isn't it? All right. Boils
thrive because the blood gets SO weak
in healthy, red cells that it can't
throw off the impurities that get into
the body. There's not enough rich, red
blood to purify the system.
Now-S. S. S. builds back the blood
to fighting strength. S. S. S. builds
-blood-cells - builds them by the
millions! Boils dry up!
S. S. S. is the thing. Impurities that
cause boils and other skin eruptions
can't stand up against the rich,
healthy, red blood that S. S. S. builds.
That's all there is to it.
Stop boils with S. S. s. It's the way.
Get it at any druggist. The larger
bottle is more economical.

WORLDS BIGGEST
BUS is A GRAHAM

The latest thing is the largest
motor bus ever built, very giant
among motor busses, that might find
room for operation on the wide pam
pas of South America, where it was
designed, but would have difficulty
negotiating the streets of Detroit or
New York.
Julio Fevre, Dodge Brothers and
Graham Brothers dealer in Buenos
Aires, Argentina, built this colossus
of busses as an exhibit for the bip
automobile show recently held in Bue
nos Aires, and it was not only ithe
sensation of the show, but erceived
wide publicity in the newspapers
through all South America.
The wheel is nine feet ten inches in
diameter, the headlamps We're four
feet one inch; the height of the radia-
tor was eight feet five inches; height
of body, 26 feet, width, q feet six
inches, length, 72 feet; over all height
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-11

of bus, 81 feet; over all length 100
feet one inch.
From the outside, the bus is an ex-
act replica of the Graham Brothers
street car type bus, like the 14S used
in Detroit by the. municipal street car
lines and like those which are used
in many cities in North and South
America, and, in fact, in many cities
in all arts of the world.
Fevre used the interior of the bus
during the show for his exhibit of
Dodge Brothers cars and Graham
Brothers trucks. 1t has a capacity
sufficient to hold 124 Dodge Brothers
touring cars and eight Dodge Broth
ers chassis boxed for shipment with
room above the boxes for 81 few hum
dred spare tires.
Due to the novelty of the exhibit"
FeVre writes, 'it is only natural that
there was an almost constant stream
of visitors passing through this giant
bus throughout the entire time of our
big Argentine show. The frequent
praise of the ability and exceptionally
satisfactory performance of Graham
Brothers trucks expressed by visitors
is convincing evidence of the good
reputation of these sturdy trucks in
South America.
"The increase IN popularity of Gra-
ham Brothers trucks in Argentine is
typical of what is happening through
out all South America. Take Lima
capital of Peru, for example. Lima

der at the fact that the American gov

Mexico making representations on the

because Of its being framed, can
cause no present harm to American
citizens, and therefore it would seem
preferable to know the definite scope
Of the bills after they are enforced,
since only then it could be judged
whether the aforementioned legisla-
any one. The circumstance that there
is an exception made to the effect
that the remarks to the legislation
are presented in 81 friendly spirit does
not prevent THAT certain malicious
minds may believe that pressure is
brought forth upon the legislative
bodies so that the pending legislation
be not approved, chiefly when those
remarks are preceded by press state
ments that though, 1 am sure, do not
m officially from the respective
offices, certainly originate therein.

adding that you think you would not
be acting in a truly friendly spirit if
you werei to refrain from advising
that the bill in question is viewed with
genuine apprehension by many Amer

GRAVEL ROOFS AND SOLID IVORY

a bounding bill collector is joy in comparison after
daubing and patching and repairing eaky roof in

Of a curse!
And for four years I have been pestered and tor
mented with lea<y gravel roof the Record Build

painting and repairing But still that dod-rotted con-
temptbe, pusillanimous, MISUNDERSTANDING, pesky
gravel roof deed every effort to make it absolutely

puts gravel roof building is fit subject for the
insane asylum or else he is special emmissary of
the devil who ought to be in his natural element! 1t

the gravel is ground into the tar paper that it is
impossible to find the exact spot of the eaks and
then when you patch them it is impossible to stop them
with paint, cement or patching Gravel roofs and solid
ivory heads go together and ! don't mean maybe!

application of the Weahercraft paint and if it stopped
the leaks l would pay for it. Otherwise, OUTSIDE!

THE EXCEPTION

THE EXCEPTION
Some of the things printed in a
newspaper are as disagreeable to
the newspaper itself as to the sin
cere critics who would prefer to see
less or none of the so-called "scan-
dal" news. But in the performance
of what it conceives to be it's duty
to print the news, the publications
at times like the judge on the bench
are confronted with unpleasant OBJ
legations.
There can be no justification for
newspaper that in cold-blood pan
ders to the lower instincts of its
readers or peddles filth and obscen-
ity. Not many newspapers do this
and none that do would admit it..
1t is a question whether the worst
victim of such publicity is not the
medium through which it reaches
the public. Bristol Courier.

rather clear by Joseph T. eastman
in the National Republic in a story
in which he pulls away the cam
outage masking some of the pre-
sumably reform movements in which
unwary well-intentioned persons are
caught.
Socialism and radicalism, he shows,
masquerade under many clever and
misleading names. He mentions par
ticularly the Non-Partisan League
the Workers Party, the Farmer
Labor Party, the Conference for
Progressive Political Action, the
Trade Union Educational League,
the American Civil Liberties I'm

"Who would suspect" he asks
that the Non-Partisan League is
part of the Socialist party? Yet
under that name, he says, the So
cialists captured North Dakota ano
succeeded in bankrupting the sts e
Another disguise for the Socialists,
he says, was the Conference fo
Progressive Political Action which
enabled it to win 100000 votes
in 1924 Presidential election.
Mr.. eastman goes on to enumer
ate many similarly clever masquer-
aiding schemes for enlisting the sup
port of uniformed citizens with the
best of civic intentions, who are
misled and learn too late the idcn-

"The maids know--they carry out the bottles.

many instances furniture has been all but ruined by
guests who scrape the caps from their bottles.
"only one feature of prohibition has benefited hotel
men," Mr.. Lane observed "It has doomed the sale of
ginger ale But this acts boomerang because guests
were wreckng furniture by opening the ginger ale
