Rheuma passes the deadly poison- pus secretions into the bowels and idneys, from which they are quickly hrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician fays about Rheuma: “I have made a ost careful investigation of the ormula employed in the manufacture pf Rheuma, and I heartily recom- prend it as a remedy for all forms of heumatism. I find Rheuma far in ad- fance of the methods generally em- bloyed in the treatment of rheuma- ism, and altogether different in com- position from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. Lyons. This should give any sufferer from heumatism confidence to try Rheuma.

Hartley Dodge owns the stock of the Rem- Tnion Metallic Cartridge Company, amounting to $60,000,000. The corporation w: formed last ear through a merger of the Rem- ington Arms and Ammunition and the Uinon Metallic Cartridge Company. He organized the Remington Arms Company of Delaware with nominal capital and leased factory room from the Baldwin Locomotive Works at IZddystone, Pa for the purpose of filling a contract for Lee Enfield rifles amounting to $60,000,000. He turned the Delaware corporation and its con- tract over to the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company at ifs organiza- tion, taking in return 400,000 shares of Midvale Steel stock of $20,000,000 par value. On announcement of the organiza- tion Midvale stock went from 60 to 7 on the cu Mr. Dodge sold out s holdings. Meon in the street yes- terday estimated that if he got an average of 80 for his stock, ceived more than $30,000,000 for the Delaware concern which cost him next to nothing.

Despite urgent protests on ihe part of the Stanley Quarter resident and also favorable action of the fi- nance board, it is hardly probable that the proposed dam in the new Stanley Park will be built this fall, thus doing away with the probability that this will be a skating resort this winter. Chairman W. F. Brooks of the park commission has stated his position clearly, showing that it is hardly possible to build the dam this fall. 1At the last councll meeting Coun- cilman G. M. Landers introduced a resolution asking for the construction of such a dam at once. The matter was referred to the finance committee and that body authorized the park w fit, to con and they the same or March of struct the dam for $1 would be relmbursed for amount either in February when departmental transfers funds are legal. The resolution passed by the coun- cil provided that the dam misht be built in accordance with previous plans devised by the park board. The previous plans provided for an earth- en dam with a core of concrete. When the matter was first taken up over a year ago $500 was asked, but the state commission having the super- vision of dam construction, ruled that a satisfactory dam would have to cost at least $1,000. The matter was dropped. But under the provisions of the council resolution ‘hese plans would have to be carried out if the dam was butlt this fall. Chairman Brooks has in mind the construction of a new and more orn- ate dam and he will include it In his budget for the coming year. It will call for a dam four feet higher than the previously recommended core wall dam and will be finished in or- namental stone and will allow for floral decorations. Other plans pro- vide for converting the pond into a swimming pool in the summer. With these things considered, the park board does not think it advisable to build a hurriedly constructed dam this fall, especially since the cold weath- er might make the concrete work faulty. OF SUBS. Harvard Graduate Manager Answers Criticism in “Crimson.” Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 24—An- swering criticism of the policy of the Harvard football coaches in playing a substitute eleven against Brown last Saturday, when Harvard was defeated 21 to 0, I'red Moore, graduate mana- ger of athletics, stated yesterday in a letter to the Harvard Crimson that the plan was agreed upon with the Brown management when the game was arranged. The Brown manage- ment “made no particular objection aid, “although they naturally would have preferred to meet the first string men.” Moore stated that if the coaches had realized the strength of Brown at the time the schedule was made out “{he game would have been arranged for an earlier date when first string men could have played without tak- ing chances of having some of them | unfit to play against Yale. { the fact that Brown did develop However, a much more powerful team than was anticipated did not seem to the coaches a sufficient reason to change their established policy.” FOOTBALLERS WANT GAME.

T. Dunn vice-president of the has taken out of Toledo, a Fisk Rubber company, life insurance for a little more than §1,750,000. This became know yes- terday when the last of the policies was issued and the big transaction became a topic of discussion among insurance men. Rodman Wanamaker, according to report, carries more life insurance than this amount; John Wanamaker is supposed to carry as much, but Mr. Dunn neverthele one of 1} @ ost heavily insured men in the world. When it was disclosed that Tom Shev- lin, the former Yale coach, had been insured for $1,000,000 not long before his death, the fact caused considerable comment, but Mr. Dunn is insured for almost twice this sum. Part of the insurance is made out in favor of the companies with which Mr, Dunn is connected. The rest is income insurance for his wife and daughter, paying them handsome an- nuities after his death. The Toledo man is 41 o1a, and five physicians who examined him pronounced him an excellent risk. | years was too much electricity for EAT STEAMED CLAMS.
