The idea that Rheumatism is strictly
winter disease, that comes from exposure
or cold, is wrong; spell of indigestion,
torpidity of the liver, inactive state of the
kidneys, or sudden cooling of the body when
over-heated, being frequent causes of an
attack. Rheumatism is due to an over-acid
condition of the blood and bad circulation.
AS it flows through the body the blood

BAD CONSTRUCTION
ON N STREET SEWER
"Dry Brick" Used in Arch of Tunnel.
District Loss Sight-Con-
tractors Blameless.

II is reported that improper work has
been done on the N Street trunk sewer
near the navy yard, now being con-
structed. This was recently stated 70
the District Commissioners by a labor
er. who said he had been badly treated
by the contractors. Gleeson & Bersinger
in charge Of the work.
The defect in the construction con-
sisted OF the arch OF the sewer tunnel
being made IN places of dry brick, -
which means that no mortar or ce-
ment was placed between the bricks to
hold them In place Colonel Biddle the
Engineer Commissioner for the District
said today the loss to the District would
be very slight, and the defect was com
paratiVelY unimpOrtant
The fault lay with the man who
placed the bricks rather than with the
contractors" said Colonel Biddle today
These contractors had on hand all the
cement and mortar called for by the
terms OF their contract, and they evil
IDENTIFY had no desire TO fail in the de-
tails OF the work They were the VIC
tins Of their employees carelessness.

YOKOHAMA. March 24-Admirai
Cyprian Bridge. late commander-in-
chief Of the British feet on the China
station. who sails for San Francisco on
the Gaelic next week. having been re-
lieved by Admiral Sir G. Noel. was in
terviewed on the naval aspect Of the
war yesterday. He said:
The chief lessons OF the war so far
are, h-st. the success Of the torpedo
boat destroyers.
The fact that eighteen Japanese de-
strOyers. the nation whole force IN this
type Of vessels. were all ahoat simulta-
ncously at Port Arthur. Is wonderful.
As d rule ten per cent OF British de-
stroyers are undergoing repairs at any
one time.
Still more important is the fact that
the action at ChemulpO was fought at
a range of 400 yards, the cloest range
being 4.5c0 yards.
This seems 20 prove the value Of
heavy guns iu modern naval warfare.
and 10 minimize the efficiency Of sec
ondary batteries.
From reports OF the naval attaches
cOrrObOrated by one Of the Russian cap
tains, il appears that fully % per cent
OF the shots took effect at Chemulpo. as
against 3 per cent at the battle Of San
tiago."
The admiral anticipates the destruc-
ton or surrender Of the Russian feet at
Port arthur. as the result Of attacks by
sea and land.
