Work was begun this afternoon on the foundation for the new machine shop Lu this city uelng erected by Measrs. Pilklngton and Daly, an nouncement of this enterprise having been made in these columns Bonie time ago. Their location is on the old Masonic Hall corner opposite the court house on Douglas street and back of the Van Houten hotel prop erty. This structure is to be 40x120 feet In size and is to Include their blacksmith and machine shops with an automobile garage In the rear. The new establishment is to be mod ernly arranged and equipped with up-to-date machinery and appliances. A little later they expect to erect an other building for carriage and wa gon work and general foundry pur poses. A foundry has long been needed here and will doubtless do a good business, as well as the ma chine shop. Taken altogether this Is an industrial Institution that will be of much benefit to the town and sur rounding country, as well as a profit able venture for the owners. Out side parties have from time to time been figuring on the establishment of auch an Institution here, but it has remained for home people to take up the actual work. This Is all the better as -they are fully acquaint ed with the local conditions and know how to handle them to the best advantage. Will Interest Many. This is Worth I tending. Leo F.

FOR RHEUMATISM Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which rradually ?eta into the circulation because of indigestion, constipation, weak kidney action, and other irregularities of the system which are sometimes considered ol no importance. This uric acid causes an inflamed and irritated condition of the blood, and the circulation instead of nourishing- the diflerent portions of the body, rontimially deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues and joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Rheu. matism can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is just what & S. S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutral izing the uric acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and surely removes the cause. & S. S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony thoughout the sys tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suffering caused bv this disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice desired sent free to all who write.
