When Baby Playing With Bell Gives Worry to Conductor. SOME KNOWN FACTS ABOUT RHEUMATISM There are many things that are still unknown about rheumatism. The treat ment of it is still far from satisfactory. Doctors realize this but nobody is more fully aware of it than the sufferers themselves. A tendency to rheumatism once es tablished, the pain often returns with every change of weather, showing that the poison is still in the blood await ing favorable conditions to become ac tive and cause trouble. One fact is known and acknowledged by all medical writers and that is the rapid thinning of the blood when the rheumatic poison invades It. Building up the blood is the best remedy for rheumatism as the enriched blood is able to overcome or throw off the poisons of the disease. For this reason rheumatic sufferers should be interest ed In the success which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have had In the treatment of this painful disease. A book. "Building Up the Blood," will be sent free on request by The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. It contains directions regarding diet, baths and hygiene for rheumatic I patients. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by II druggists everywhere. 721 fflinv LJLI Savings Worth While-Drugs and Patents 1.00 Hall s H;iir Renewer C doc o Mr. and Mrs. I. Aronson.

Gerald Cottlnghara, the 10-year-old on of Mrs. Linnie Cottingham, 944 East Taylor street, sustained a fractured skull yesterday when he col lided with a streetcar at East Twenty- ninth and Belmont streets. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital. He probably will recover. Employes of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company say that the boy ran into the side of the car while coasting down a hill on East Twenty ninth street. THE only thing lacking was the movie man when a one-act com edy was enacted at Fifth and Sherman streets yesterday, with the stage settings being the interior of a Sixteenth-street car. and the characters h.kv hov. an irate mother and a conductor. I The audience, fellow passengers and a crowd of boys, grinned appreciatively. 1110 uauy uoiwv " ductor growled dejectedly and the irate mother beat the streetcar man's baca unmercifully with an umbrella as the plot unfolded. The comedy started when baby in sisted in pushing the button which rings the bell in the vestibule of the car The conductor warned the young matron to remove her child's finger from the pushbutton, but to no avail. Baby liked the sound of the bell, and continued to experiment accordingly. When the car reached the terminus of the line, at Fifth and Sherman streets, the exasperated conductor could stand It no longer. He walked up to where mother and child were sitting and mumbled something too inaudible for the audience to understand. What's that?" demanded the fair passenger, In a high-pointed voice. The conductor mumbled again. "By cracky, I'll teach ye to talk back to me, I will," the irate woman yelled, and she sprang at the street car man with an umbrella upraised in one hand and an Interesting Infant In the other. "Take that, and that, she yelled as the weapon crashed over the conductor's back. The woman fol lowed her unhappy victim to the front of the car. A minute later the woman left the car. Just as she stepped onto the pavement, the streetcar man numbled again, evidently believing he was safe from another attack. But he wasn't, for the angry mother returned to bat tle. The conductor frantically gave "two bells," hut the woman succeeded in getting two more cracks across his back before the car got under way. From two points of view, it was a cracking good comedy performance. DOMINICAN TRUCE ENDED Hcbels Closing In on Capital, From Which President Is Absent. WASHINGTON. July 28.

Official Records of the Motor Truck Industry Verify This Statement This Leadership of the Truck Industry is of the utmost import ance, both to the many who already own White Trucks, and to the many others who will eventually purchase White Trucks. TO THE OWNERS OF WHITE TRUCKS THIS LEADERSHIP proves the correctness of your judgment in selecting your motor truck equipment. It shows that you have chosen the same motor truck that the majority of truck users in America have selected. In practically every case, this selection has been the result of a process of rigid experimentation and elimination, in which White Trucks have proved their superiority over all others. This preference for White Trucks by the largest users of motor trucks as well as by the majority of motor truck users guarantees that your investment is protected by a suc cessful, well established manufacturer, having a superior organization for rendering lermanent and efficient service during the ife-time of the trucks. II This Radiator is the Distinctive Sign of Wliite Trucks m iair 0 TO FUTURE OWNERS OF WHITE TRUCKS THIS LEADERSHIP is conclusive proof that White Trucks must be superior to all others, because White Supremacy is not measured in numbers alone, but in value as well. With so many makes of motor trucks on the market, all clamor ing for recognition, indisputable supremacy can be gained only by superior merit. Untruthful advertising, bargain prices, exaggerated claims and guarantees that can not be fulfilled may make the first sale, but only superior merit can create the confidence which brings continuous repeat orders.
