PAIN GONE! RUB "
SORE, RHEUMATIC
ACHING JOINTS
Rub pain away with a small
trial bottle of old
"St Jacob's Oil"
Stop '"dosing" Rheumatism.
It's pain only; not one case in fifty
requires internal treatment. Rub
soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs Oil"
right on the "tender spot," and by the
time you say Jack Robinson—out
comes the rheumatic pain and distress.
"St. Jacobs Oil" Is a harmless rheu
matism liniment which never disap
points and doesn't burn the skin. It
takes pain, soreness and stiffness from
aching joints, muscles and bones; stops
sciatica, lumbago, backache and neu
ralgia.
Limber up! Get a small trial bottle
of old-time, honest "St. Jacobs OH"
from any drug store, and in a moment
you'll be free from pains, aches and
stiffness. Don't suffer! Rub rheuma
tism away.—Advertisement.

PALMER'S SPEECH
AT SHARON CONVICTS
HIM OF FALSEHOOD
[Continued From First Page]
night to the men suffering from
his work on the iron and steel
schedule in the tariff law.
Palmer's reputation for truth
fulness was stretched to the
breaking point and his word pic
tures of prosperity only served
to bring sad smiles from the men
who have either lost their means
of livelihood through his work as
a member of Congress or whose
Income has been seriously cur
tailed because of the general de
pression.
Palmer made the assertion that
everything'ls rosy in the face of
the cold fact that, taken as a
whole, the iron and steel business
of the valley is scarcely 29 per
cent, of what it was under the
Republican protective tariff.
There isn't a single plant in the
valley to-day running at full ca
pacity. The percentage of opera
tion runs from nothing to 60 per
cent., the latter figure being in
the American Sheet and Tinplate
Company plant. The Sharon
Steel Foundry Company, the Na
tional Malleable Company and
the Carnegie South Works are
running 25 per cent. The Ameri
can Steel Foundries will close
within a short time and 600 men
will be added to the list of unem
ployed. Only three of the four
teen blast furnaces of the valley
are operating.
The address of Vance McCor
mick was such as easily to con
vince his listeners that he is far
from the high caliber that his
adherents picture. He is conduct
ing his campaign by vllllfylng Dr.
Brumbaugh.

Governor Allen Tells What Dr.
Brumbaugh Did For the
People of the Island
The ability for organization and ad
ministration shown by Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, now Republican guberna
torial candidate, when he served as
Commissioner of Education for Porto
Rico immediately after the military
government was supplanted by civil
government, under the Foraker act,
are told by Charles H. Allen, first
Governor, now living in New York. In
a letter received yesterday at head
quarters of the Brumbaugh citizens'
committee here says;
"On Dr. Brumbaugh's arrival there
was not a public schoolhouse in the
island. It was said about that time
that Guatemala was the only country
in the region for which statistics were
obtainable, where the proportion of
illiterates was higher than in Porto
Rico. The census of November, 1899,
put the number of children within the
scholastic age in Porto Rico at 322,-
393. Of these only 25,798, or about
S per cent., attended the schools, leav
ing the enormous number of nearly
300,000 unprovided for. It was most
fortunate for the American adminis
tration of the island, as well as for
the people themselves, that a man with
such a talent for organization and en
rollment as Dr. Brumbaugh, was se
lected for the work."
