OIL BOAT IN THLCANAL Indiana Harbor marked one of the most important epochs in its history this morning, and May 10, 1912, will always be counted one of the city's red letter days. The Standard OH barge No. 96, on of the biggest In Is fleet, was towed by a tug down the Indiana Harbor canal to the Standard Oil company's newtemporary docks, where it will take on a million and a half gallons of oil. The boat came from South Chicago and as It pulled into the canal, its funnels belching black smoke into the air, the surprised Indiana Harbor people could

j hardly believe their eyes. People pour

ed into the streets and the rejoicing was general, for. Indiana Harbor will henceforth become one of the most important ports of entry on Lake Michigan.

for 20 years a member of the Chicago fire department, describes his experience as fol

lows: "For ten years or more I suffered nameless torture from rheumatism and kidney trouble. It often laid me up for weeks at a time and was getting worse right along. Several doctors said there was no help for me, but I kept on trying different medicines until I became utterly discourged. Finally, after I had given up all hope, a friend induced me to try Abbott Bros. Rheumatic Remedy. It drove the awful disease from any system, cufd my kidneys and made a new man of me."

Mrs. Oscar dayman, 402 W. LaSalle avenue. South Bend, Indiana, writes: "For five years I was so helpless

with rheumatism that my husband had to feed me and lift me around like an infant. I had tried many doctors, but they all gave me up as hopelessly Incurable. The dread disease twisted my hands and limbs shapeless, stiffened my Joints and made them useless. I just suffered terribly, until through a neighbor's advice I took Abbott Bros. Rheumatic Remedy. It saved my life, straightened my twisted limbs, returned their usefulness and everybody says it's wonderful that a case, bad as mine, could be cured."
