LINCOLN. Per. 6. (Special -It became
known hero this afternoon that a move
ment Is on foot to get "Bummy" Booth
to take charge of the Nebraska foot
ball eleven next fa'l. Booth Is the 'loach
that matre the Cornhurkers famous In font
ball circles by giving them an eleven In
lf0 that defeated Mlnneeotn, 6 to 0. He
was head coach during the sensons from
1?00 to 190S. Inclualve, and the teims that
he put out never were defeated by Kan
sas. Nebraska's Treated rlvrl.
The chances of getting Booth to come
back to Nebraska are said to be excel
lent; In fact, It Is hinted that he has of
fered to accept the head coaching position
if It la tendered him. It Is certain now
that he would have taken the Job had It
been offered to him last season.
Since "Bummy" Booth left Nebraska,
after the close of the season of IMG. he
ha been practicing tow In New Tork; but
each fall he has gone down to Princeton
to assist his alma mater' In getting the
Tigers Into trim for their annual battle
with Talc. This fall he came west to as
sist Coach Roper, a Princeton man. In
shaping Missouri for tha Thanksgiving
day game with Kansas. Roper declares
that Booth' aid mede It possible for Mis
souri to win from the Jayhawkers.
t Btny Be Willing to Return.
Booth fu!t Nebraska In 1906, after rather
a poor aeison, feeling that he had not
given the Cornhusker as strong an eleven
as some other coach could have done.
He resigned voluntarily, and against the
wishes of the athletic board, the mem
ber of which wanted htm to remain.
While Booth was at Missouri, Just pre
vious to the Thanksgiving day Banjo, he
was asked whether he would accept a
position ae coach at Nebraska next fall.
He refused to commit himself, however,
but said he thought he could give the
Cornhusker another winning gridiron
eleven.
Several members of the athletic board
have been Interviewed on the subject of
hiring Booth for next fall and all of them
are decidedly in favor ot getting him If
he will come. One sat that the offer
of no other coach would be considered If
Booth would Just say that he would take
the position If It were tendered him.
It Is felt that "Bummy" would like to
return to Nebraska to give the Cornhusk
er a championship team, and thus show
everybody that he waa not at fault when
the Cornhusker lost to Minnesota and
Michigan by big scores In 1305.
Booth's Fine Record.
Booth' record, while at Nebraska, ha
never been equaled by any other western
coach, In or out of the "Big Eight." The
Cornhusker during his reign were known
as the "Big Outsider"- and had several
things on any of the teams In the Mis
souri valley. Minnesota, during Booth's
years, found Nebraska one of the hardest
games on Its schedule. Illinois was three
times defeated whllo ha wa here.
In western foot ball, circles Nebraska
held a position next to Michigan and Min
nesota, with the Gophers once being rele
gated to an Inferior poaltlon. The cry now
Is, "Get Booth for 1110 and Nebraska will
beat Kansas." It has been two- years
since .the CornhusKersl'yon frorn the Jay
hawkers. ' '

FOR
RHEUMATISM
rheumatism b la reality an Internal inflammation; a diseased condi
tion of th blood cells which, supply the nourishment and strength necessary
to sustain our bodies. The disease Is caused by an excess of urlo acid in
thQ blood, which comes from indigestion, weak kidneys, constipation, and
other irregularities of the system. This urlo acid produces aa inflamed
asd acrid condition of the blood, and the circulation, instead of nourishing
the different portions of the body, continually deposits Into the muscles,
corves. Joints and bones, the Irritating and pain-producing acid with which
it li filled. Then follow the painful and torturing symptoms of Rheumatism.
We do not claim for 8. S. S. that it is anything more than a first class blood
purifier, and that Is Just what is seeded to cure Rheumatism. 8. 8. 8. goes
into the circulation, and by neutralizing the urlo acid and driving it from
the blood, effectually and surely remoTes the cause of Rheumatism. S.S.S.

stream, causing pain and agony throughout the system, it becomes an
