Relief for rheumatism.

These damp days are hard on peo-
pie afflicted with rheumatism, and
relief is sought in all sorts Of rene
dies.
There Is no doubt In the minds of
people who have suffered with the
dread disease and those who have
studied 1t closely that probably more
relief can be secured from the Osteo-
pathic treatment than any other.
OF course, some chronic cases
won't yield to any treatment. but in
stances of cases of seven and eight
years standing Yielding to three
months treatments can be cited. If
you are suffering of rheumatism, |
should like to discuss your case with
you, examine you and tell you what
I can do for you. With the dry hot
air treatment that | use with osteo-
pathy ] am having very gratifying
success with people you know well.

A FACT OVERLOOKED.

Those persons who are clamoring
for a reduction of the postage rate
on first-class mail matter and for
an increase in the cent-a-pound rate
on second-class matter who, over
looking the ton of useless matter
sent free through the mails by gov
eminent agencies and the excessive
compensation given the railroads,
blame the postal deficit on the sec
ond class-fail to take in considera-
ton the fact that newspapers and
periodicals through their advertise
ments produce great quantities of
first-class and fourth-class matter,
which they regard as profitable. Pub
fishers and other authoritative wit
nesses who appeared before the re-
cent sessions of the Postal Commits
ion in New York made the truth of
this quite clear.
One of the most convincing bits of
evidence offered was that presented
by the representative of an organi-
zation of agricultural papers. IL was
in the shape of letter from a mer-
chant who wrote to a publisher set
ting forth the result of an advertise
ment he had inserted in a certain pc
riodical. From a single Insertion, +"
wrote the merchant, 1--WE received
3,466 replies, making a postage of
$69.32. In first answers and follow
up letters we reached a total of ST.
$50, paying in first-class postage on
same the sum OF $1,O39.S0. The per-
sons addressed sent us 1000 orders
and paid 1882 postage. Each of them
furnished some names: in all, ST.
500 names on which We have already
expended in postage 1854. This
makes = postage expense OF $2.-
914.12. every penny of which was
represented by one single insertion
of our advertisement"
The postage on the entire edition
of the paper in which the advertise
ment appeared said the speaker, was
less than 800. but the government
got in addition $2,914.12. showing
clearly that second-class matter is
a great feeder of the first-class.
Instead of causing a deficit the
second class produces revenue for
the department The "deadhead"
matter sent by the ton annually by
the government and the exorbltant
pay given the railroads for carrying
the malls are the real causes of the
deficit. Let the postal reformers go
after them. -Courier-Journal.

CAST OFF
Count Challenged Husband to Duel,
Then Fled I'm Terror.

Philadelphia. Penn, Nov. "a
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph A. Gibbons, the
bridal couple who returned from Eu-
rope yesterday as the sole occupants
of the cabin of the French liner La
Gascogne, reached their new home
In this city this afternoon and told
of a duel in Paris that didn't come
|off, because the titled French oppo-
nent of Gibbons ran away. Mrs. Glib
bons, who Is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William NJ. Brown, was engaged
three months ago to wed Count Max
Bloch, a French nobleman. She sud-
denly welded Gibbons however.
Then the bridal pair went to Paris.
Learning of the interruption to his
matrimonial plans the count imme-
diately challenged Gibbons to duel.
