ABOUT RHEUMATISM.

more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such varied and useless lot of reme-

it can be cured is, therefore, a bold
statement to make, but Chamberlain s

THE OLD TIME WAY.

Our Grandmothers gave us powders
ana teas because they knew nothing
of modern medicine and methods. In
this age of progress and discovery,
nicely coated, compressed tablets are
fas! superseding the old time powders
and teas. Rydale's Liver Tablets are
compressed chocolate coated tablets,
easy to swallow, pleasant in effect, al
ways reliable. They contain ingredients
that cannot be used IN powders or teas.
Ingredients that have an effect upon
the llyer that is never obtained from
the so called liver powders etc. A trial
will prove their merits.

VISITING OLD SOUTH.
No Other Building in America the
Scene of More Thrilling Events.

No Other Building in America the
Scene of More Thrilling Events.
An alert boy of II or Is years, visit
ing in Boston for the first time, was
asked what historical building he
would like to visit first, and he re-
piled very promptly:
'The Old South Westinghouse. l
like to see places in which there has
been something doing in the past.
They did things in the Old South
Meeting house, both before and during
the Revolution, didn't they?"
Indeed they did! No building in
America has been the scene of more
thrilling events than has this ancient
house of worship.
Had this boy, who was eager to see
the Old South Meeting house because
of all that it stands for, been in Bos-
ton on the Doth day of last April, he
might have gone into the time-honored
old building in company with hun
dreds of other boys, and great many
girls, who came from all parts of the
city to be present at the "Children's
Hour" in the "Old South" This is a
semi-yearly event in Boston. 1t is a
part Of what is called the 'Old South
Work." which is a good work, having
for it's chief purpose the bringing of
the young people of Boston and Amer
lea into an intimate knowledge Of
early American history.
On this Goth day of April the Old
South Westinghouse was packed with
boys and girls from the public schools,
to hear about William Blackstone, the
first settler in the city of Boston A
large orchestra of boys and girls from
one of the public schools played pat
riotic airs, and / remember that at one
"Children's Hour" in the Old South
two hundred school girls sang the ode
which was composed and sung when
President George Washington visited
Boston in 1889. You see that they

ageOus men an army of poor-spirited
human beings can become terrible
This is the condition that confronts
the citizens of London. The East End
ers, the Submerged Tenth, the people
who constitute the chronic unemploy-
ed, have found leaders and they have
found allies. The leaders are the All.
archists and Socialists; the allies are
the thousands of workmen who are not
chronically unemployed, but who have
for months been unable to find work.
The people who are suffering don't
know and don't care particularly what
has caused their misery. They only
know they can find no one to employ
the m, and that in consequence thew
and their families have to go without
food or apply to the Boards of Guard
ianS for relief.
They have been suffering in silence
for a long time. A few weeks AGO
they began to collectively.
The murmurings have been becoming
louder week by week. The outcry Of
the people is becoming coherent, def

Three new dry docks practically COM
pleted, a number of new buildings con-
structed, extensions of the railroads IN
the yards and of the sewer systems,
lighting system and pavement and other
miscellaneous improvements are features
of the work accomplished during the
past year under the bureau Of yards and
docks, as recorded in the annual report
of the chief of that bureau, Rear Ad-
miral Endicott.
For the next fiscal year the estimates
of this bureau aggregate $9,995, 197. OF
this amount almost 100000 is recon-
mended for improvement of public works.
Regarding this item Admiral Endicott
says: 1.-THE estimates for central neat,
light and power plants at various yards
are necessary for the execution of the
expressed will of Congress and the In
structions of the department touching
the consolidation Of power plants. Ad-
ditional docking facilities are most ur-
gently needed and estimates are submit
ted for beginning docks at Boston, Fen
sacola and Puget sound and for steel
floating dock for home waters"
It is pointed out that it takes con-
siderable time to construct dry dock
of large capacity and that by the time
these docks now asked for could be COM
! pleted the vessels of the navy will have
in creased in number very materially and
the demand for docks will be CORE
spondingly greater than at present.

causing the death of Midshipman
Branch, has been sentenced to conf1ne-
ment to the limits of the naval academy
at Annapolis for a period of one year
