The Best Remedy for rheumatism.

From the Fairhaven, IN. } Register,
Mr.. James Rowland of this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead of going for the ply
stefan he went TO the store and secured
bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the balm thor
oughly and in hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it when
ever she feels an ache or a pain ard
finds that it always gives relief. He
says that no medicine which she had
used ever did her as much good. The

Ran AWAY.

Gen. Weyler is reported to have had
a narrow escape in the western part OF
the island recently. When leaving
San Juan with smaller escort than
usual Cuban detachment OF cavalry
attacked him and his escort, and no.
thing but their fleet horses saved them.
1t is stated that Weyler had half an
hours ride for his life, and that he was
much chagrined over it. Spanish Off
cials deny this story, but the Cuban
Junta say they have details which
prove it.
Several trains were dynamited in
the western part of Matanzas Province

the California jurist and sung to him a
song of woe that played upon his heart
strings like the soft sea breeze that fol.
lows a Pacific coast gale-who knows?
AT all events, Judge McKenna has in
predicament, if the information thus
far obtainable on a subject of the
| graveSt concern to the people of the
| southwest is reasonably reliable.
The idea that the Rio Grande is a
navigable stream within 200 miles of
| Ell Paso, in either direction, is simply
| nonsense. The fact that the Ell Paso
have selected the spring Of the year,
when the May floods are on, as the
proper time to spring this joke on
Judge McKenna, is indeed most sig
niticant. 1t is a notorious fact that
congress has repeatedly refused to ap-
propriate public funds for improvement
of the Rio Grande because it was not a
navigab,e stream. Then again what
has the Mexican government to do
with American interests located from
100 to 12O miles north of the interna-
t'onal line? With as much justice and
reason, Gen. McKenna might order
the great irrigation systems in southern
Colorado to cease operations!
By this piece of stupidity we are to
understand that citizens of the terrific
ries are not to be permitted to employ
English and French capital in estab-
fishing irrigation enterprises albeit the
vicious alien act 8 thing of the past
and only last February congress pass
ed an act throwing open to entry all
the reservoir sites-there are nineteen
in New Mexico, which had previously
been surveyed and segregated from the
pubic domain. Any citizen may now
enter upon and take possession of those
reservoir sites. The one near Fort
Selden was taken up by responsible
citizeos of Las Cruces and Ell Paso and
a corporation formed for the expendi-
ture of S., 1000, 600 in giving the people
of the Mesilla valley, Ell Paso valley
and Juarez, Mexico, that for which
they have been praying for years, an
abundant supply of wholesome water.
In New Mexico alone, the idea contem-
plates the irrigation of 200, 900 acres of
the most fruitful land in the west, yet
now comes the mischief makers and the
obstructionists to place veto on all
progress. 1t is a burning shame and ao
outrage on justice, decency and good
government Optic.

KAIPUR, Feb. 2.-(Copyright, 1917
The special correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press, who is inquiring into the
famine ravages in this, the largest dis
trict Of the central province, having a
population Of 1.5OO, 900, finds the situation
very grave. This is the center of the rice
growing industry, which Is the only crop
grown. and it has failed. There is to-
tai lack of food stuffs in this locality and
real famine exists. About 1900 villages
are affected. The relief works have CIV
en- employment and means of subsist-
ence to $4,000 persons. The worst part
of the district is Dharma Para, thirty
miles from here, where lamentable con-
ditions prevail. Many people have al
ready died of hunger and many others
are dying. The staff employed In the
work of relieving the sufferers is made
quate to cope with the enormous area.
If the work of relief had been properly
arranged earlier the mortality would
have been less, as the rains are increas-
ing the spread Of the disease. 1t will
take three years to recoup the district.
The poorhouses are a fair criterion on
the condition Of the people. Besides the
professional beggars they are crowded
with laborers reduced to the last stage of
skeletons. Their bodies are emaciated
and the skin is hanging in large folds.
OSACAC AdVC SWOllcA SIO0ldCQS, the sign
of acute privation. It is found that the
cattlemen and field workers, usually
lusty men, are unable to do anything,
and the women are in the same condi-
tion. One woman who was lately con-
fined, has been attacked with rheuma-
tism caused by exposure and Is para
lyzed. Her babe Is horrible to look at.
Its limbs are about the size of pipestems
and Its sunken eyes have most piteous
look. No provision has been made for
these cases. The minimum dole of food
is only enough to keep body and soul to-
gether, it does not suffice to build up
the system again. This is where private
charity Is wanted
1t is useless to attempt to send the ma
tives to the hospitals. They prefer to
die. Some horrible sights were wit
messed. A man with both legs eaten away
was mass of scabs, and others were
nearly as bad. The condition in this
district is the worst yet seen. There is
urgent need of funds here The corre-
spondent hears that in the Jubbulpore
district conditions are even worse.
If seed Is not sown soon the people
will be incapable of procuring food and
the conditions next year will be too aw-
full to contemplate.
The government was late in realizing
the gravity of the situation. The food
supply in this district is scanty and soon
will be exhausted.
