The Portland fight en thuslasts who viewed the mixuD sav bommers had the advantage and are now claiming he will beat Marty Far rell by reason of his sensational show ing with King. Sommers is matched to box Farrell the main bout of the Hustler's Club smoker next Wednesday night at the Eleventh-street Playhouse. rarrell has been working out every day at the Butler Athletic Club and is determined to dispose of Sommers via the knockout route and thereby estab lish himself a local favorite. Marty has It all figured out how he ill beat Sommers here and then co to Seattle and trounce Mick King. Farrell Is Wonder. rarrcu is a wonder m the gym nasium, and the 2500 fans who watched him batter Pat Bradley at the last smoker will say he is the niftiest piece of fighting machinery that ever turned a cog in a Portland ring. It has been a hard task to round up enough spar ring partners to furnish opposition for the speedy New Yorker. Some of the fans who think Farrell does not pos sess a wallop should look him over during his training performances. The way he bounces his mitts off the heads of opposing boxers Is a sight worth seeing. Sommers will start working out to day at the Columbia Athletic Club. The Portland middleweight Is already In the pink of condition and will breeze along doing light work In order to keep on edge for his argument with Farrell. Broaaoa Tralna Hard.

If you are Just feeling the first little twinging pains of Rheumatism, we would warn you to take the right course at the outset and avoid permit ting yourself to fall a helpless victim to one of the most dlsaDiing ana pain ful diseases to which the human family is subject. And if you have had Rheumatism for any length of time, the chances are that you have kept the liniment bottle pretty busy, but you have real ized by now that gallons of liniments and other locally applied remedies will never rid you of this body-wrecking, pain-racking disease. The best that you can expect from such treatment is some little temporary relief from the sharp, shooting pains. But you want more than mere relief. Tou want to break the shackles of a disease that has you so firmly within its power. Tou want a treatment that not only relieves the pains, but that stops them forever, by reaching their source and removing their cause. Experience has proven that a great majority of cases of Rheumatism are caused by a disordered condition of the blood. Millions upon millions of tiny little disease germs multiply rapidly and spread throughout the circulation, setting up their attacks of pain at some susceptible part of the body. Of course the blood cannot be reached by local applications, which explains why Rheumatism is never cured by lini ments and lotions. But those whose blood is Infested with the germs of Rheumatism should be delighted to know that in the midst of all their suffering there is a bright ray of hope. S. S. S., the reliable pure ly vegetable blood remedy, promptly purifies the blood and cleanses It of all Impurities and disease germs, and in this way makes it impossible for the germs of Rheumatism to remain. A full course of this remedy will prove to you its great efficacy, as it has in nu merous cases which have been reported to us by grateful patients. Do not continue to suffer because of wrong treatment, but go to your drug store and commence taking S. S. S. today. Also write fully to our head physician, who will give you full in structions about your own case. Ad dress Medical Director, 401 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga. Adv. ii rg f H
