So one day his wife dressed up the baby, and, together with the dog, they started out to find a house. He knew that Bill Bjones, who lived out near the Milan road, wanted to sell; aid his wife had heard of a perfectly levely place for sale ud near Augustana college. So they were sure that they could find what they wanted without trouble. After spending a dollar in street car fare, walking 17 miles, and wilting about 69 cents worth of laundry, they gave it up completely disgusted, and unable to find a house which would "do at all." Right there we got hold of them. They toid us their troubles how large a house they wanted .and where they wished to live. We then brought out a list of about a hundred placed which they had no idea could be bought at all. After explaining that it didn't cost them a cent unless they found what they wanted, we asked them to drive out and look some of the properties over. They went. And it didn't take them long to find the home they had been dreaming about. Inside of 10 days they moved into it perfectly satisfied, and we understand have lived happily ever since. We can do as much for ycu. We have the goods to show. if you are busy if the telephone isn't handy fill out the blank below and mail it to us. We will do the rest.

D. Cady of Mol inc. These two, who have defeat ed all their opponents, were paired in the final of the recent invitation meet ing, and at that time Ardo defeated Cady. It is probable that he will again detent Cady tins aiternoon, out the match is close enough to attract great interest. In the semi-final of yesterday, Ardo Mitchell defeated Leon Mitchell in an exciting contest. The match was close to the finish, and at the beginning of the last hole Ardo was but 1 up, Through hard luck for Leon, his broth cr won the last hole "with 3. making Mm 2 up. In the match between J. P. ":idv and V. IX "Middleton, Cady won J up. 1 to play. The match was closer and better played than had been cx neeted. In fact. Middleton's showing in the tournament was one of the great surprises of the contest, for he had not been counted on to last more than the first round in the championship class. In the Oilier l-'lijtlilN. The defeat of C. P. Skinner by Wal ter Chambers. 2 up. was one of the surprising results of yesterday's games in Class 11. H. A.

"amllliVi for tin? honors, and the sea son was drawing to a close. ' The game was close, and Lange led off in the eighth inning with a two bagger. Cap tain Ansou went to the bat find laid down a perfect bunt, Intending to sac rifice, ne went out in a close finish at first and, looking up, discovered Lange still perched on second. He was furi ous, but that condition was mild com pared to what he experienced an in stant later when Lange stole third and took the lead for base running honors. I see that Jockey Walter Miller was suspended recently by the Jockey club stewards for improper methods at a New York track. There is only one course to follow if consistent horse races are desired. That is to rule oif all jockeys for life, revoke the licenses of trainers for all time, banish the bookmakers to Russia and give hypo dermic injections of Square Deal Ex tract and Anti-fake Anodyne to the owners. San Francisco will soon be in need of additional relief and of more rescue bands. Report has it that Middle weight Joe (Jans, the negro fight fakir, intends to make a permanent home for himself in the 'quake stricken city. Poor old Friso! Hard luck certainty travels in bunches. Croat old Jim McCuire of the New York Americans recently received a diamond medal in honor of his twenty years of work In-hind the bat. At the age of forty-five he catches, throws and bats like a man in his prime. Better be a live old one like McCuire than n dead young one like well, like somo others that could be named. ROUNDUP BY WILLIE WEST Sport Critic Side Steps Into Poetry and Then Ducks Out Again. Sam Berger of Frisco, now that he has defeated "Philadelphia Jack"' O'Brien, says he won't fight for a year or so, that he needs a long rest, etc. Same old story. Sorry to see that Sam is like all the rest of the present day "pugs." "WIN A SCRAP AND THEN POSE AROUND IN THE LIME LI CUT FOR AS LONC AS THE POWER PLANT WILL RUN" is the framed motto now bauging on every fighter's wall alongside the old favorite one, "GIVE US A BIG TURSE AND AN EASY MARK." Terhaps the following bit of prize ring poetry, printed here by permission of the publishers of the "Third Reader For Young Fighters," may explain Sam's present coyness and diffidence: I lie who wins and runs away May live to win some later day, I5ut he who fights and stays on deck Is apt to pet ii In the neck. The automobile is .1 spiteful toy. Not able to put good old Dobbin out of business by legitimate competition, it has adopted means closely resembling the tactics of rival politicians. Recent ly at Manchester, Mass., an auto jumped across a road and iujured Land of Clover, the famous steeplechase racer, so badly that he had to be shot. An gered at its failure to kill Laud of Clover outright, the auto took n crack at the groom riding the horse and crushed in his ribs. Automobiles will have to be muzzled In hot weather if this keeps on. i One of the funniest incidents In base stealing I ever saw happened in Chi cago one of the years that the sensa tional old center fielder Bill Lange led, the National league in base running. It .was a close race bctwecnXansre and The meek and lowly potato has come into its own. It has broken into the sporting game. A brand of jviice called potato spirit Is now being extracted from the humble tuber, and it send.; an automobile swifter than all grit out. A Frenchman discovered the process. Xow I know the secret of ex-Fighter Kid McCoy's fast life. He eats pota toes three times a day. The heyday of .youth is all right, bnl it hasn't got anything on the pay day of old age. Lots of things, like lots of men, look easy until you try to do them. WILLIE WEST. Railroads at Home and Abroad. Last year the railroads of Great Brit ain and Ireland transported over one billion passengers and only killed 23 and injured 80O. In American only three-quarters of a billion passengers were carried, but we killed 4,000 and injured r.0,000. In medicine it is im possible to make comparisons because there is no other remedy in the same class with the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It has been first and foremost for 53 years, and its record of cures has been so wonderful that we ! loubt if anyone will ever be able to make a better remedy to take its place. 1 Try it for poor apietite, Insomnia, flat-j uleney. bloating, liver or kidney ills, dyspepsia, indigestion, cramps, diar-' rhoea or malaria, fever and ague.

As soon as the treatment is left ofT, however, or there is any exposure to dampness, or an attack of indigestion, the nagging" pains, sore muscles and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer finds that he has merely checked the symptoms, while the real cause remains in the system. The cause of Rheumatism is a too acid condition of the blood, brought on by indigestion, chronic constipation, weak Kidneys, and a general sluggish condition of the system. Waste matter collects in the system each day which nature intends shall be carried off, but when it is left because of a sluggish condition of the system it sours and forms uric and other acids. These are taken up by the blood and carried to all parts of the body to produce the pains and aches of Rheumatism. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by going down into the blood and driving out the cause and making this life stream rich, pure and healthy. When the blood has been purified and built up by S. S. S. the pains and aches pass away, the muscles become soft and elastic, and Rheumatism driven from the system. Book on Rheumatism and medi cal ad vice free.
