What Is Rheumatism?
Why Suffer From It?
Sufferers Should Realize That It
Is a Blood Infection and Can
Be Permanently Relieved.
Rheumatism means that the blood
has become saturated with uric acid
poison.
It does not require medical advice
to know that good health Is abso
lutely dependent upon pure blood.
When the muscles and joints be
come sore and drawn with rheu
matism. it is not a wise thing to
take a little salve and by rubbing it
on the sore spot, expect to get rid
or your rheumatics. You must go

MECHANICSBURG
Decision in Suit Against Val
ley Railways Company
Sustains Borough
Meoltanicsburg, Pa., Sept. 2.—Af
ter years of contention between the
borough of Mechanicsburg and the
Valley Railways Company with a law
suit of long standing, a decision was
reached on Saturday in favor of the
former, Judge McPherson, of Adanri3
county, presiding. This is in effect
that the borough is sustained in the
ordinance asking the rental of $l,-
200 per annum for use of the streets.®
The provision of said ordinance,
i which was materiul to the determi
nation of the case, was as follows:
"That the said railway company, in
consideration of the rights and privi
leges granted by this ordinance, shall
pay to the borough the sum of $5O
per annum, said payment to begin
two years after the completion of
said railway and to continue for
three years, at the expiration of,
which term the said annual payment
shall be increased to the sum of $lOO,
which latter annual sum shall con
tinue for the period of live years, at
the expiration of which period the
council reserves the right to regulate
an&j. determine the future annual
payment.
The period of ten years follow
ing the completion of the raifway
expired on March 1, 1911, and the
i borough council passed a new ordi-
I nance increasing the annual rental
to $1,200. The trolley line resisted
; the payment of this amount and thd
matter went through the courts. The
| lower court, Judge Gillan sitting, de-
I c'ided unreservedly in favor of the
i borough, whereupon the trolley com
; pany appealed to the Superior Court.
, The Superior Court, Justice Porter,
affirmed the decision of the lower
court, declaring that the question
at issue was the borough's constitu
tional right to make and enforce a
contract, which neither the Legisla
ture nor the courts had the power to
nullify. This decision was appealed
by the trolley company to the Su
preme Court, where it pended for
a long time. Finally, on Saturday,
Judge McPherson, of Adams county,
dismissed the case as above stated.
SEARCHING FOR MISSING MAN
