When the blood becomes overcharged with urio acid it continually
grws weaker, Wore acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualitios. The nerves,
muscles and joints, instead of receiving their necessary nutriment from tha
circulation are gradually filled with tha sharp uratio Impurity with which
the circulation Is loaded, and the pains and aches of Rheumatism are the
natural result. No amount of rubbing, or the application of external med
icines can have any direct and curative effect on the blood; the most to be
expected from suui treatment is temporary relief from the pains and aches.
There is but one way to cure Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood
Of the urio acid Impurity. S.S.S. is the proper treatment, because It goes
tiown and attacks the disease at Its head, and by filtering out every particle
ff the uratio matter and strengthening and enriching the blood, cures
Rheumatism in every form. S. 8. B. changes the sour, acid-burdened blood
to a rich, healthy stream, which quiets the pain-racked nerves, muscles and
Joints, cools tha feverish flesh, gently removes the cause and drives Rheu
matism from the system. S.S.S. reaches inherited cases as well as those
which have been acquired, and good results are always experienced from
Its use. Special book on Rheumatism containing many valuable sugges
tions for rheumatic sufferers and any medial advice free to all who write.

C. W. Gable, Crack Crosa-Coantry
Runner, Goes to Washington.
LINCOLN, March 11. (Special.) Another
of Nebraska's athletes has been lost to the
university. C. W. Gable of Genoa, a crack
cross-country runner and track man, has
quit school to accept a position with the
United Btatee government In the depart
ment of entomology at Washington. He will
leave for the east next week.
Gable waa last year elected captain of
the cross-country team, but he did not re
turn to school In time to take charge of
the men. He Is one of the fastest long-distance
runners thit the university has pos
sessed in several years, and he was being
relied upon to do great work in the track
meets against Minnesota and Kansas this
spring. In the Kansas meet last spring he
broke the Nebraska two-mile record.
Confident of winning at the Sioux City
meet, the Nebraska relay team, composed
of MoDonald, Reed, Minor and Davis, left
thiB afternoon for the Iowa city. The team
has been in training all semster and should
be in form to run a sensational race. The
relay is to be over a mile course, and each
of the Cornhusksr quartet will run one lap
of a quarter mile. Reed and Burke broke
the university record in the relay last
spring.
The Cornhusker base ball men returned to
the athletic field for training this after
noon, after having been confined to the
gymnasium for two days. Coach Carroll
started to working out the pitchers this aft
ernoon with the Idea of weeding out the lm-
fiosslbles so that he may devote his time
o training the few men who are to com
pose the slab staff. -
It waa announced tonight at the Daily
Nebrapkan office that the Jack Best vaca
tion fund had mounted to figures that ex
ceed I The Nebraskan has set $400 as
the mark to be reached by March 20. Each
day for the last week has seen the fund
grow by the contribution of Sums amount
ing to 130. Trainer Jack Best will spend his
vacation In England, where he was born. .
The Cornhusker Olympics, between the
freshmen and sophomores, will take place
during April. These athletic games were
postponed last fall because ef bad weather.
The battle of the two classes in various
athletlo contests settles the supremacy of
the one over the-other in university affairs:
If the freshmen win they will be permitted
to wear class caps; if they lose they will
not ton oh the headgear until next fall, when
they become sophomores.
Bear Mascot Is Drowned.
IOWA CITY, la., March ll.-(fipeclal.)
Dynamiters on the Iowa rtver raised the
body of Burch a short distance above Cor
al vl He, and the body of the bear mascot
of the University of Iowa athletic teams
now reposes in the offices of Taxidermist
Dill. The head will be mounted and put on
exhibition In the university museum.
The last heard of bruin was six days ago,
when the motorman on the Interurban car
saw him Jump away from the rays of the
headlight just outside of Swisher, a station
north or here. Evidently Burch ventured
too near the edge of rotten ice In the river
to get a drink of water and fell in.. When
the workmen endeavored to dislodge an ice
gorge with dynamite they brought the body
to the surface of the water.
Farmer Burns Throws llokuff.
BROKEN BOW. Neb., March 11. (Spe
cial.) A big crowd greeeted Farmer Burns
last night at the opera house, when he
took two straight falls out of William Ho
kuff of Beatrice. Burns was In splendid
trim and handled his big opponent In his
usual scientific manner. The first fall was
accomplished in sixteen minutes, with . a
bar-hammerlock, while it took only about
five minutes for him to win the second
one. There were two preliminaries, be
tween Pelkey and Davis, two college boys,
and Jeffords and King, local wrestlers. No
fall In either bout. Preceding the match
the "Farmer" gave one of his characteristic
talks, in which he extolled the merits of
Gotch and Jeffries.

AN
Our Letter Box
Contributions on Timely Sabjeota,
ot Exceeding Two Hundred Words.
Ax Xavltea from ear Beaders-
Chnroh and Divorce.
SOUTH OMAHA, March 9.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee: In a letter to The Bee,
published this evening, a would-be philos
opher ploks up the Kansas City news as a
pretext for throwing a paper-wad at the
Gibraltar Rock of the Catholic church.
Not that the church needs any defense,
but realizing that any eccleslastio would
probably consider It beneath his dignity
to take notice of such an epistle, I, as an
humble, unlettered wife and mother, Bay
a word, for fear that in Xenla Falrchlld's
case It may become a case of "the blind
leading the blind."
Her letter shows a dense ignorance of
the church's teaching with regard to di
vorce. True, the church never has, and
never will consent to divorce with a per
mission to remarry. It was Inflexible when
the fate of whole nations trembled in the
balance. It saw whole nations lost to its
faith rather than swerve, in one instance
even, from Hs teaching on divorce. Henry
VIII could no more move it from the prin
ciple it has been teaching' for' twenty cen
turies, than could tha humblest peasant
in his kingdom.
But when the conditions of life become
Intolerable, it does consent to a separation
and separate maintenance, but no re-marrying.
If the church should put its stamp
of approval on tandem polygamy, it would
step down from Its position as an tnfalliable
teacher of truth f n man Hn . k.. I
been the teachings of the church on these
social questions, that the trend of the best
thought In America today . is setting In
with a tidal sweep towards Its teachings,
disguise them under whatever name you
Will. . T
Those broad minds that-have given years
to the study of the problem, of the per
petuity of this glorious republic have come
to a realization of the fact that If this re
public Is to endure, a decided stand must
be taken againBt certain destructive forces
promiscuous divorce, race suicide, an
archistic teaching and a growing disregard
for duly authorized government. What
power has always stood between civilized
government and these disintegrating forces?
The teachings of the Catholic church have
been most potent. Severe, yes, but the re
sults Justify the severity. If Xenla Fair
child will take the trouble to enter any
Catholic church In this city (they aro open
all day long), and will pick up a prayer
book and read the chapters headed "Duties
of a Married Man," and "Duties of a Mar
ried Woman," she will find a simple an
swer, within the scope of her understand
ing, to the question: Why Ib the church
inflexible on divorce? The church' teaches
and commands its married children to live
"In peace," but not "In pieces."
The church still retains both the fifth
the sixth commandments In its Decalogue.

found to be adulterated or misbranded, or
any seeds of Canada bluegrass are obtained
under any other name, to publish the resuli
of the tests together with the names of the
persons by whom the seeds were offered
for sale."
That little paragraph probably Is regarded
by most of the farmers of this country as
of more Importance to them than the pure
food bill, over which there is so much stir
these days. The farmer does not have to
worry much about the purity of his food
most of It he produces himself and knows
exactly what It Is.
With his forage crops It Is different, for
he buys most of his seed for them. For
years ha suffered much exasperation and
expense because dodder, meadow fescue
and noxious weeds of many kinds grew up
where ho planted what he supposed was
only clover, alfalfa or some special kind of
grass seed. Moreover, In the seed for
which he paid fancy prices often an exces
sive amount of Inert matter was added by
unscrupulous dealers, solely to make
weight.
So common was the adulteration of seed
that all efforts of the farmers to even
check it were futile, until somebody devised
the plan of giving due publicity to dealers
who deliberately or carelessly sold adulter
ated or misbranded seed, by having the
government, through the Department of
Agriculture, ascertain and expose them In
its official bulletins.
Last year, under the little law which hus
been quoted, 1.814 samples of seeds were
purchased and analyzed by'' government
agents. A bulletin Just published by the
Department of Agrloulture gives the names
and locations' of Individuals and- firms
found to have sold . adulterated or mis
Franklin Model G
A Challenge
While we acknowledge what other manufacturer
have done in the production of good automobiles
of medium size a? low price, there has not yet been
one produced that equals Franklin Model G. We
brought this model out in 1906. Its immediate and
continued success caused other manufacturers to at
tempt to meet its competition, but none has suc
ceeded. Franklin Model G is the onjy touring car of low
price which has enduring quality. So certain is its
merit, like that of any Franklin, that we would match
it in a transcontinental time contest against any auto
mobile made regardless of size or price.
Model G Runabout
In the runabout type Model G, now in its fifth
year, stands distinguished in a market flooded wiTh
so-called cheap runabouts. Model G is not made to
sell at a low price; it is made for service. Having
all the well-known Franklin principles, it is light and
flexible and has no equal for comfort, reliability
and endurance.
Model G has ample power for all roads. Being
air-cooled, it is not subject to freezing troubles. It
does not deteriorate and rattle and seemingly never
wears out.
Compare it with other low-priced automobiles in
weight, tire equipment, appearance and service.
Model G Touring Car, $1850.

Two-passenger runabout, (!?S0. Runabout with surrey-type body, J1SO0.
Franklin Model G made and holds
the world's record for economy.
