GITY PARK BOARD CONSIDERS NORIH SIDE BUS RELIEF Capitol Ave, Transportation Problem Taken Under Advisement. With a three-hour argument ringing in their ears, members of the city park board have taken the question' of permitting busses to operate on Capitol Ave. under advisement for two wee'is. Public hearing late Thursday was attended by 150 persons. Robert I. Todd, president of the Indianapolis Street Railway Coav pany. and A. Smith Bowman, head of the People’s Motor Coach Com pany. each had his followers. At the close when Mayor Shank said he was satisfied residents of N Fortieth St. needed additional trans portation, Todd offered relief by busses in thirty days. Bowman promised busses in sixty days. Todd said running the Fairview car line up Boulevard PI. to Fiftieth St. would relieve north side trans portation problem. He also urg-*d “feeder" bus lines. Most residents south of Maple Rd were against busses, stating they wanted their street surface "saved.” Residents In suburban dPricts, who said “they represented the younger generation that had nerve to go out there,” wanted transportation. Gustav G. Schmidt, member of the city plan commission threatened injunction suit to prohibit bus operation. He said property owners had paid for resurfacing the street foui times and had the park board's promise the street always would be used as a boulevard.

A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the infiamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognised by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the intlauied membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation. while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to serious complications. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of low long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Cos., Atlanta, Ga.—Advertisement.

ECZEMA You will be compelled to admit that the results of S.S.S.are really amazing! MANY people imagine that eczema or tetter needs only some external application on the akin in order to get relief. This is because the attention of the sufferer is so violently directed to the intense burning and itching which accompanies this disease. Try as they may—permanent relief will never be theirs until the disease laden blood i3 thoroughly cleansed. We know there is one thing that stops eczema and that is more red-blood-cells! S.S.S. builds them by the million! You can increase your red-blood-cells to the point where it is practically impossible for eczema to exist. We know that as Wood-cells increase in number, blood impurities vanish! We also know that night follows day. Both are facts! But have you, eczema sufferers, ever actually taken advantage of this wonderful fact? Thousands just like you have never thought about it. Skin eruptions, eczema, with all its fiery, skin digging torture, and its soul-tearing, unreachable itching, pimples, blackheads and boils, they all pack up and go, when the tide of bloodcells begins to roll In! Blood-cells are the fighting giants of Nature! S.S.S. builds them by the million! It has been doing it since 1826. S.S.S, Is one of the greatest blood-cell builders, blood-cleansers and body strengthened known to us mortals! When you put these facts together,—then to continue to have eczema and skin eruptions looks more like a sin than a disease. S.S.S. contains only vegetable medicinal ingredients. Because S.S.S. does build red-blood-cells, it routs eczema, clears the skin, builds firm flesh, fills out hollow cheeks, aud gives you that more up and going appearance. kS. S. S. is sold at all good drug stores in two sizes. The larger sue is more economical. ' C O World's Best olood Medicine

BRUIN IIERK TODAY Robert Foran. newspaper correspondent. accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1900 They arrive at Mombassa. the "ffateway to British East Africa.'' and then make the lons railroad journey to their firs* camp in the same-crowded Kap'ti Plains. After a wonderfully successful shooting trip in the Sotlli country, the expedition camps for more huntins at a farm called Saisirai-Sai. After several other trips they invado the Guaso Nyero elephant country and meet with more good sport. The Roosevelts are the guests of fiord Delamere at Njoro. The Koosevelt party is royally received at beautiful Entebbe, and Roosevelt visits the boy, baud! Chiva, king of Uganda. Now Foran and other members of the party, prepare for a long journey through Uganda, the Congo and the Sedan to Egypt. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mHERE was much detail work to be accomplished in those crowded days in connection with my long journey through the Uganda country and down the Nile. The fitting out of such an expedition required considerable thought and organization. Every single eventuality had to be considered and provided for. Food had to be carried for the native porterSy for it is impossible to depend upon food supplies being obtainable en route. Every additional load of food carried entailed the engaging of another porter, and each porter extra to the original estimate entailed a re-cal-culation of the food rations. In addition to these worries, I had to make provision' against any sudden change of plan made by the Roosevelt expedition, which might entail a longer period of time spent on safari and, therefore, more porters’ food required. I had been feeling sick for some days, to add to my worries. Just before I had left Nairobi I had had the misfortune to get a bad spijl while riding a strange horse. He bolted with me, with the bit between his teeth, just as I was mounting, and before I was properly in the saddle. Before I could stop jiim, we had taken a wild gallop across country, and had struck a five-strand wire fence at full speed just after jumping an open ditch. We had both turned two complete somersaults over the fence, and had been stunned for a few minutes.

The horse had ft.ilen on top of me. I was badly shake up, but was lucky not to be seriously injured. The day after my arrival at Entebbe with Roosevelt, a strange and pain ful swelling had appeared near my groin. It had caused me great suffering and made it difficult to walk. But, despite the strong advice of my doctor, 1 had determined to go through with the trip and not turn back at this interesting stage. As by now I found it was too painful to attempt to walk or ride my biclcle. I arranged for a machila —which is a hammock slung on a pole, and carried by four porters on their shoulders. It was another complication in my intricate calculations for food supplies, but it was essential. Oh Dec. 22 Colonel Roosevelt, Kerinit and Knowles started off shortly after dawn to attempt >o secure a group of the rare swampliving anleiope, the Sitatunga. It is only to be found in the swamplands of Uganda, and It is very rarely shot. A few had been reported to be living in the swamps near Kampala. Kermit lived up his reputation gained in British East Africa, and killed a splendid spdfcimen of the male. Knowles assured me—and he Is a great hunter himself—that it was an exceptionally fine head and that Kermit was most lucky to secure it. The colonel did not see one at all, although he worked'hard enough for a kill in the arid and leech-infested swamps during most of that morning and in the great heat. They were only able tc get the one specimen, and never fortunate enough to complete their group. There was a large and well-attend-ed "at home" at Mr. Knowles’ house on the afternoon of the Sitatunga hunt, but the Roosevelts returned so late that they were only just in time to change their clothes for this party. They had to forego their lunch. There were two native bands playing on the lawp, one a drum-and-ftfe band and the other a brass band. The bandsmen were all Baganda boys from the Catholic mission schools. It speaks volumes for the training

the boys had received and the patience bestowed upon their musical education that they could be taught by their reverend conductor to play the American national anthem, with but few minor slips and false notes, -fter only a couple of days’ practice. That same evening there was lother big dinner party at &. Knowles’ house, and the king of Uganda and his regent were present. On the following morning, Colonei Roosevelt accompanied Capt. \V. F. S. Edwards, the inspector general of police for East Africa and Uganda, and Mr. Knowles to inspect the Kampala police station. We returned to lunch with Mr. Knowles, and, after the meal was over, a prominent Indian resident of Kampala and a deputation of Indian

merchants arrived ter present nel Rosevelt with some magnificent ivory curios and Congo knives, as a small token of their regard for him. The day before Christmas eve, Colonel Rosevelt and Kermit rode off on their mules —horses had been discarded in Uganda owing to the bad climate —on the first lap of their long jungle-land journey. CHAPTER XXIV Through Uganda to Hoima I had arranged to follow on the morning of Christmas day. But when the day dawned there was such a very heavy rainstorm that I had to postpone my departure until the afternoon. So I did not leave Kampala until two days after the expedition had started off; I hope to overtake it by making forced marches. Meanwhile the pain and the swelling was rapidly growing worse, and It was with great misgivings that I

prepared for my long march on the trail of Theodore Roosevelt. I had gone too far to turn back. Eventually we began our marph. the porters leading the way. They were headed by a native drummer, who beat a monotonous tattoo for the edification of my Baganda porters and to my own annoyance. I followed them, lying in a canvas hammock slung on a long pole, which was carried by two porters alternately on either their heads or their shoulders. Two other porters followed behind me, to act as a relief party for the hammock bearers. My feet were on a level wdth, or somewhat higher than, my head, and I was most intolerably uncomfortable. The prospects of those days of marching were far from being allur-

ing. The roads were very muddy and slippery after the heavy rain, and our progress was slow. I was thankful that there was only ten miles to cover to Kisimbili camp, for the pain was, at times, almost unbearable. The jolting of the hammock made matters much worse. On reaching my first camp at sunset, I sent back a messenger to Kampala to bring me out a rickshaw, feeling positive it would be more comfortable than traveling by hammock. The Baganda had erected a most palatial camp for the Roosevelt expedition—as they did throughout Uganda—and I made myself at home in it. There was a neat stockade of dried elephant grass all around the camp. The road on either side had been planted with banana trees so as to form an avenue to the bandas (grass-

roofed and open-sided huts). And flowers had been stuck into the walls of the bandas and grass strewn dong the path inside of the compound. I spent Christmas night here, done with my porters. This was the fourth or fifth Christmas day that I had spent under canvas in either East Africa or Central Africa during dx years. I had no heart for Christmas fastivities, for I was worn out with the pain that racked me. I consumed a morsel of food and retired to bed. I spent a troubled night—coult not sleep more than a few hours. I was continually awakened by severe spasms of pain. The dawn w'as a welcome sight. The mosquitoes were very bad at

Kisimbili, but my net protected m® from their attack, Ail through that long and dreary night of wakefulness, the peace and quiet was disturbed occasionally by the distant call of a nati -e, the lowing of a cow in a nearby village, or the fiendish laughter of a straying hyena—and as an accompaniment to these sounds there was the persistent conceit of the buzzing mosquitoes. After several days of traveling in great agony, I was met on the road by a messenger from Cunninghame. He had written to say that Colonel Roosevelt was much distressed by the news of my illness and the great pain I was suffering, and he wanted me to come to his camp and consult Dr. Mearns, and see if he could not do something to relieve the pain.
