The Six-cylinder Franklin
The average 6ix-cylinder automobile is ponderous
and heavy the whole advantage of six-cylinder con
struction is missed.
Hih power whh right mriglit it the main thing to gain by
the use ot ix cylindere.
A six-cylimler engiot give a steady torque an explosion
every Doe-third of a evolution, while in the four- the torque is
intermittent, an explosion every one-half revolution. Steady
torque allows lighter construction throughout the automobile,
ana because of tkk it is possible to increase the power and keep
the weight down. Power gained without increasing weight
means increased speed and ability. And that is what you want.
The six-cylinder Franklin is the only light-weight large auto
mobile. It is luxuricu without the disadvantages of ponder
ousness and buJk. In it you can tow all day without fatigue.
There is a complete absence of jarring and jolting You feci
do vibration. There is none of the burden and none of the
anxiety that goes with a heavy automobile. It rides like the
frneet carriage. It answers any tests on hills or levels.
Talk this six-cylinder and weight question over
with any Franklin owner.

has set out to raise tww.ono for a boat line

boats this time which it would take an
American torpedo to sink, to say nothing
about what they will do to Missouri river

Rheumatism is caused by aa excess of uric acid in the blood, which
gradually gets into the circulation because of indijrestion, constipation, weak
kidney action, and other irreeularitics of the system which are sometimes
considered of no importance. This uric acid causes an inflamed and irritated
condition of the blood, and the circulation instead of nourishing tke different
4 portions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues
and joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Rheu
, tnatisut can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is
just what S. i. 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. 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

Rather Filches Ills Title a the Silent
Man of Baae Ball.
George Stone of Coleridge, the original
tinlselesa, rubter-ttred. soft-pedaled, say
nothing and go-easy ball player. Is losing
prestige since McAleer pitched his camp
In the fields of the sunny south, says the
Globe-Democrat. No, Oeorge isn't losing
his batting eve, nor his speed, nor his
fielding ability. On the contrary, he is
g"ttlng more efficient In these points, but.
sad to relate, George is making too much
noise.
After banging the ball up against the
fence the other day, George made the un
pardonable mistake, the awful soda! error
of saying. "Ha. ha!" The ejaculation was
heard by Jimmy Williams, who waa stand
ing five feet away. Williams turned pale,
and was all but prostrated, for he knew the
baneful significance of that utterance. To
Jimmy It meant that George waa losing
his prestige, shattering hla reputation for
nolselessness. and Jimmy also knew thst
George s rival would take advantage of the
Coleridge man's mistake and edge Into the
particular spotlight Which has been
Stone's fill along for several years. And
Jlmmv was rljrht. For on that very dav
Georee was dethroned and William F.
Smith of Albion, Mich., the young catcher,
who Is long on looks and short on speech,
moved upstnge and took a position which
was heretofore Stone's.
Now it's William F. Smith, the Noiseless.
This hand.ome young man. who haa re
duced conversational Intercourse to a basis
of absolute necessity, says less In a day
than "Dummy" Taylor. He walks noise
lessly, runs noiselessly, sleeps noiselessly
and plays noiselessly. With him noise Is
an abomination. He gets up in the morn
ing and snys. "What time Is It?" and Is
through for the d.jy. He walks through
the hotel corridor as gentle as the passing
of a June xephyr. He practices the sign
language on the waiter. He carries his
room key all day to save himself the hu
miliation of asking for It in tne evening
He chose to catch because he can signal
tho pitcher by signs. He grows strong on
silence and withers under the noise test.
He walks on air and has now won from
George Stonn the honors of being the orig
lnal noiseless, rubber-tired ball player.
When Stone and Smith meet In the hotel
corridor In the evening It's like unto the
meeting of two clams. Neither smokes
drinks nor chews. Sometimes they talk,
but very seldom. When they do It sounds

Johnny Kllng, the peerless catcher of the

the least Kllng could have done would have
been to give his team time In which to
replace him. It Is now too late for the

ItacInK Commission Nnll.
COVINGTON, Ky.. March 23 Judge
Harhsnn In Kenton county circuit court
this morning; rendered his decision in the
notfd case of the Ijltonla Jockey club
against the Kentucky Racing commission
holding: the law establishing the commis
sion unconstitutional. The effect of the de
cision Is to place l.atonia racing back to its
former basis.
Judge Harbeson held that the law creat
ing the Kentucky racing commission gave
Hint body pnwer to regulate running races;
that trotting races and running races come
under the same legal category, and that,
therefore, the law Is class legislation and
unconstitutional. The court, in other
words, held that the law. to be valid, must
give the racing commission specific author
itv oer both trotting and running races.
The decision Is a complete victory for
tl Itonla Jockey club.
The commission will appeal.

Proper Widow at the
Other F.ad.
Two widows to one soldier and eleven
marriages In the whole mlxup Is the sum
mary of a pension case that has been re
cently disposed of through the investiga
tions of Special Examiner J. H. Galloway.
The case came up from Kansas. The
applicant was a woman claiming to be the
widow of one John Baldwin, who had
served his country In an Illinois regiment
and then removed to Kansas, where. In the
lapse of fifteen or twenty years, he had
married four times. Each of his former
wives, except the last had been a widow,
and his last wife was a three-times widow.
The previous husband of Mrs. Baldwin
was a man named Winkler. In looking
over the case It was discovered that Wink
ler had a bad record, growing out of his
fondness for other people's horses, and so
he put in a term In the Kansas peniten
tiary. Mrs. Winkler divorced herself ffrom
Winkler upon his imprisonment and sev
eral months afterward was wooed and won
by John Baldwin. Winkler In the mean
while was kind enough to die In the penl
tentlnry about three months before Mrt.
Winkler became Mrs. Baldwin.
About eight or ten years after their mar
riage John Baldwin died, and Mrs. Bald
win attacked the pension department for
a pension as his widow. In going Into the
depths of the case It was found that there
was no record of the death of the previous
Mrs. Baldwin and In support of this an
other Mrs. Baldwin put In a claim for a
pension as the real wife of John. It was
then that tho pension bureau got busy and
In the wlndup found that the third Mrs.
Baldwin had been divorced from John with
out her knowledge, although she had In the
Interim taken another spouse, who had died
a short while before John Baldwin died.
The pension examiners had a merry
chase and the affair finally wound up with
the last Mrs. Baldwin being declared the
legal widow of John and Bhe recently has
been granted a pension of $12 per month.
The parties lived at Walnut, Kan.
