Many Kinds of Rheumatism One Sure Mode of Treatment

Authorities Say Don't Use Liniment. Treat It Through the Blood. You Can't Rub It Out! Whether your trouble is Sciatica, Lumbago, or the dreaded Articular Rheumatism, the answer is the same. You must treat it through the blood. That is th only way to rid the system of uric acid, purify the blood, and revitalize the nerves. If the blood is freed from impurities, Rheumatism must go. This in short is the exact knowledge gained by the research laboratories of the S. S. S. Co. in Atlanta. Their tests have been made for fifty years. They know what Rheumatism is.

THRESH OVER PROPOSALS FOR

COLISEUM SITE Shall City Or County Build Structure? Question Debated at Meeting Called by Mayor. Whether proposed which is to be erected as a memothe county in rial to te soldiers the world war, where in the should be built someof South Bend, or whether Spring ok would provide a better position such an institution earnest debate at a fleeting meeting and county officials and prominent citizens in the council chambers at the city hall Tuesday morning". The meeting was called by Mayor Carson, whofrankly told those present that while he is open to conviction he at present favor the location of the proposed coliseum somewhere in the heart of South Bend. The mayor said that before any action in taken by the city in the matter, be wanted to get the opinions of citizens generally as to whether the coliseum should be located in this city, and as to whether it should by built by the city or by the county. Looks to Future. Samuel Leeper was the first one called upon by the mayor to express his views in the matter. Mr. Leeper favored Springbrook Park as the most suitable place for the coliseum. He pictured the future growth of South Bend and Mishawaka, and declared that a coliseum that would be abreast of the time in 25 years from now should be built. "I have always contended that when a coliseum is erected it should be located between South Bend and Mishawaka." said Mr. Leeper. "A coliseum means more than a mere auditorium. It means a place where exhibitions, such as poultry, stock, and other shows of that kind can be held. It hould be a place that will be an institution that will be accessible to the entire county and one that the entire county will feel an interest in." Advantage of Site. Mr. Leeper also pointed out that the site at Springbrook can be obtained without cost to the county,, arguing that a suitable location in the downtown portion of South Rend would cost an enormous sunt of money. Mr. Leeper urged the lack of a suitable auditorium in either South Bend or Mishawaka for holding large gatherings, and declared that the masses of the people of the county need better amusement than they are now afforded. He cited the coliseum at Pittsburgh as an example of what can be given the people of the county, although perhaps on a smaller scale, telling of the excellent music provided there absolutely free to those who visit the Pittsburgh coliseum. In his opening remarks Mayor Carson referred to the possible amalgamation of South Bend and Mishawaka at some time in the future, urging the great influence such a city would exert throughout the state. Mayor Ralph W. Gaylor of Mishawaka agreed with Mayor Carson that such a thing is within the realms of possibility, and argued that the location of the coliseum at Springbrook would tend to draw the two cities closer together. He declared that inasmuch as the coliseum project is to be a memorial to all the soldiers of the county, it

ed by

the

should be a county proposition, and

that Springbrook so far presents the most suitable site for such a memorial. Disadvantages of Distance. City Controller John W. Swygart favored the location of the coliseum in South Bend., pointing out that South Bend is the county seat of St. Joseph county. He declared that if the memorial were located at Springbook it would be difficult to induce contentions of the larger kind to come here on account of the distance of the meeting place from the hotel of South Bend. G. A. Elliott,, president of the board of public works, declared that the purpose of the city in wanting to locate the institution in the heart of the city is to combine it with the public market in order that it might

be made self-sustaining. Mr. Elliot, however, like Mayor Carson coliseum | and controller Swygart, declared

that the coliseum should be located where the majority of the people of the county desired. Miles O'Brien. president of the Chamber of Commerce, also favored Springbrook as the most suitable site for the proposed memorial, and expressed the view that it should be erected by the c ounty instead of by the city of South Bend. Frank Favors Spriimbrook. Abe Frank also favored Springbrook. He said 'that when the coliseum project was first started three or four years ago, he i s a member of the Chamber of Ccnmerce committee, favored the location of such an institution somewhere in the business part of South Bend. He said that now, however, he believed that Springbrook would be a more suitaide location, pointing to the future growth of both South Bend and Mishawaka as an argument in favor of Springbrook. He said that inasmuch as it is to be built as a memorial to the soldiers of the entire county, it sdiould be built by th.county. John F. DeHaven. member of the board of public works, favored South Bend, agreeing with Controller Swygart that the coliseum should hlocated in the county seat of the county. Mr. DeHaven said that the law permits the city to erect a combined coliseum and public market, and that lie believed that it should be built somewhere in the central part of South Bend. Rostiser Seconds View. Harvey Rostiser, also a member of the board of works, expressed the same views as Mr. Dellaven. advancing the public market and coliseum combination argument. "The coliseum must not be allowed to become a drag on either the city or county," he declared. Edward Zeitler. member of the board of county commissioners. spoke in favor of Springbrook park as did also Thomas Williams, another member of the board of county commissioners. M. L. Brummitt. of New Carlisle, a member of the county council, favored making the coliseum a county project, but was non-committal as to where it should be located. M. W. Mix. also a member of the county council, favored SpringbrooK as the most suitable location for a memorial to the entire county. Mr. Mix pointed out that to locate the coliseum at Springbrook would not only provide a memorial to all the soldiers of the county, but it would at the same time conserve capital as the Springbrook site would be deeded to the county without cost. He said that this would be a large item as the cost of the building would alone reach nearly to the half million dollar mark. Sees Amalgamation Ahead. A. G. Graham favored Springbrook park on the ground that it would mean the providing of something that would draw the interests of the entire county closer to one another. He predicted that the string of small towns throughout the county would at some future tlm be united into one large city, and that Springbrook at no distant future would be the center of that larger city. County Agent John S. Bordner predicted a community of 200,000 population within 10 years. He said that a monument to the soldiers of the county should be erected by the county, and should be located at a place that, is already being looked upon as a civic center for the county. He urged Springbiook park as the most suitable location for the coliseum. City Atty. Thomas W. Slick declared that he did not know where the coliseum should be located. He said that it should be left to the people of the county. He urged that every one express opinions on the matter, and that the view of the majority should be followed. In adjourning the meeting Mayor Carson announced that there would be other meetings called for the purpose of further discussing the matter. He said that while he feels at this time that the coliseum should be built in the central part of South Bend. his main object i the erection of a coliseum as a memorial to the soldiers of the county, and that he is open to argument tha Springbrook is the mos suitable location for this memorial. FIRST EVANGELICAL HOLDS WATCH MEETING Dr. U. S. Davis delivered a short address last night at the watch services of the First Evangelieal church.

NEW YEAR'S RIVALS

PEACE DAY JUBILEE South Bend Gives Rousing Welcome to Arrival of New Nineteen Every noise making contrvance imaginable was brought into play in South Bend last night when old Father Time ushered in the new year. It was rivaled only by the celebration on peace day. Theater-goers who attended the late performance thronged the streets: fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters all insisted upon coming downtown to witness the birth of the new year, dancers held sway in practically every hall In town and numerous churchgoers, who held night watches, rang out the old and rang in the new. Generally speaking, it was a jolly, well-behaved crowd that once more kept up the time-honored custom cf celebrating this holiday. There was none of the extreme hilarity that marked New Year's Eve a year ago when many people were doing their best to satisfy a long thirst, some of whom succeeded only to wake up next morning on the fire escape. However, the New York Central reports that traffic to Chicago was unusually heavy on the last day of the year. At the Oliver and Jefferson hotels, the liqhts were turned off for a fewseconds at midnight. Vaudevillians performed a few stunts and sang some songs. all of which contributed much to the evening's entertainment. Today at the Rlks Temple open house will be held during the afternoon for the children. The entertainment will consist of children's games and dancing. This is an annual affair with the Klks In the evening a Xew Year's dance will given with Steinrich's orchestra Elkhart furnishing the music. be of TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CELEBRATES NEW YEAR A varied program, consisting of a year's review of the happenings, both local and international, a word of praise for Uncle Sam's soldiers and sailors aprophecy for the year of 1919 and a short devotional service was given at the Trinity Presbyterian church last night.

OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended rj those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says 'Take for example Dr. Kilmer's SwampHoot, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend. for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kdney. liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
