"Old JScout" is said to have been absolutely the first automobile to have been driven across the American con tinent. Early in 1905 it arrived In Portland with factory engineers In charge and it was purchased on the spot by Mr. Wemme, Oregon's first mo torist. Along the north side of the pavilion Is the Wlnton 46r48" show car, the Pullman car entered by the Parker Mo tor Car Company, of Seattle, and the too six-cylinder Oakland cars and the sensational new eight of the same manufacture. Regardless of a buyer's wants in the shape of an automobile, whether he favors the four, the six. the eight or the twelve, he la bound to find the delight of his eye at the Armory this week, and whether or not he has the purchasing power a visit Is guaranteed to infect him with that funny, little" c?tm that Itches a man's soul until he buys a motorcar.

RIGGS COMPAN Y KEEP URIC ACID OUT OF JOINTS Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meat and Take Salts. Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores, are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uriu acid which keeps accumulating and circu lating through the system, eventually settling in the Joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon- ful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal ac tion, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thou sands of folks who are subject to rheu matism. Here you have a pleasant effervescent lithia-watcr drink which helps overcome uric acid and is bene ficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.
