S,t25,716 RHEUMATlCS IN UNITED
STATES
Can All Be Cured by Uric-O

Ii rheumatism continues TO spread
as it has in the past few years, II
would seem as though we would be
tore ding become nation of cripples
The terrible destructiveness of this
disease Is apparent on every side of
u.s. Almost nine out of ten of the
cripples one meets had their affiiction
brought on by rheumatism. How
many thousands more there are that
are hopelessly bed-ridden and whom
we never see. Rheumatism, from the
very nature of the disease, can never
cure itself and If neglected is bound
to grow worse rather than better If
YOU ever have any twinges of rheu-
natism, go to the druggist and get a
bottle of Uric-O, the wonderful new
Rheumatic Specific. 1t will cure you
and 1t is the only treatment in the
world that will cure you permanently
and thoroughly. uric-O cures by It's
direct action on the muscles, blood
and kidneys. II seeks out the poison
Gus Uric and Rheumatic Acid and
drives ii from the system and 1t Is
only treatment of such a nature that
will ever cure Rheumatism. Lini-
ments and plasters only serve to drive
it from one spot to another. They
never cure rheumatism. because It is
primarily blood disease and until
the blood is cleared from the poison
Il cure connot take place.
You can test Uric-O free of charge
If you wish. Just cut out this adver.
tisement and send 1t to the Smith
Drug Co., 16S Smith Bldg, Syracuse,
y. Y, together with your name and
the name Of your druggist They will
give you an order on him for 75c
bottle free which you can test and try
to your own satisfaction
Uric-O is sold and personally rec
commended in Bennington by b, A.
Quinlan.

RIVERS OF CHINA.
to Be Developed-New
System Of Police.

From the China Mall.
The realization of imminent perils from
the inland waterways Of the provinces
has led China to adopt such means a
seem most available and practicable for
the more adequate protection Of her riv-
crime system. Provinces that have fith-
erto had no special provision for policing
by water control are to have their rivers
and other navigable channels inland
guarded alike for the suppression Of pi-
racy and also with a view to prevent the
smuggling into the interior Of arms and
munitions Of war.
We notice that the provinces Of Human
and Hupei are to have provincial ad-
miral.'' under whose special jurisdiction
will be the charge Of riverine defense.
Thus far in the history of administration
OF the empire this class OF officials has.
we believe. held ONCE only In the sea-
board provinces. When. however, the ex-
tent and excellence Of inland waterways
within the bounds Of the provinces under
consideration are appreciated it becomes
clear that on their proper control the fate
Of the country in times Of emergency may
conceivably depend.
Human is drained by four rivers. which
all empty into the Tung-ting lake. A
glance at any reliable map will show
that the basin of these rivers covers lit
tie less than half the province, and the
fact that the River Hsiang Chang and
certain Of its numerous tributaries are
navigable for cargo boats is significant In
relation to facilities for easy transporta-
ton between the Yangtze and all the
eastern part Of Human to the borders of
this province OF Kwang-tung To judge
OF the extended system, some Of It's ram

Kwang-tunE, north river Of Lien-chau, to

and has been undertaken recently with
fair frequency by persons bent on RettinE
views Of three OF the finest provinces in
China.
As for Hupei, a province divided by
the YanStzo into a southern and a north
ern part, the means Of transportation
AFFORDED by this river and by the Han,
which Joins the Yangtze at Hankow, are
among the marvels Of inland navigation
We have indicated some Of the circum-
stances leading to q more careful and
complete control OF these great water
ways. Other causes are presumably to
be sought in the tendency recently mani
themselves the duty Of patroliing Chi
intimate an intention Of sending war
vessels up the Yangtze. and In view Of
the situation that now obtains between
these two countries the reasons for
proper control and safeguarding of their
avenues Of access to her territory have
received additional weight and 1mpor-
lance
