JAPAN'S WOMEN DIVERS

The pearl divers Of Japan are
women. Along the coast of the
bay of Kowasho the thirteen and
fourteen-year-old girls after they
have finished their primary school
work go to sea and learn to dive.
They are in the water and
learn to swim almost from baby
hood and spend most of their time
in the water except in the coldest
season, from the end of December
to the beginning Of February.
Even during the most inclement of
seasons they sometimes dive for
pearls.
They wear special dress, white
underwear and the hair twisted
up into q hard knot. The eyes are
protected by glasses to prevent
the entrance Of water. Tubs are
suspended from the waist. A boat
in command of a man is assigned
to every five or ter women divers
to carry them to and from the
fishing grounds.
When the divers arrive on the
grounds they leap into the water
at once and begin to gather
oysters at the bottom. The oysters
are dropped into tubs suspended
from their waists. When these
vessels are filled the divers are
raised to the surface and jump
into the boats. They dive to 4
depth of from FIVE to thirt,
fathoms without any special ap
paratus and retain their hreatf
from one to three minutes.
Their ages vary from thirteer
to forty years and between twenty
five and thirty-fve they are q
their prime. Oriental Review.

GOVERNOR WILSON
AND THE MONEY TRUST


The plain fact is that the control
of credit is dangerously concern
trated in this country. The great
monopoly in this country is the
money monopoly. So long as that
exists our old variety and freedom
and individual energy of develop
ment are out of the question. A
great industrial nation is con-
trolled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is ooncen-
trated. The growth of the nation,
therefore. and all our activities
are in the hands of few men who,
even If their action be honest and
intended for the public interest,
are necessarily concentrated upon
the great undertakings in which
their own money is involved, and
who necessarily, by every reason
of their own limitations, chill and
check and destroy genuine eoonom-
ic freedom. This is the greatest
question Of all, and to this states
men must address themselves with
an earnest determination to serve
the long future and the true lib.
critics of men.-Woodrow Wilson
at Harrisburg.
Governor Wilson is the first
aspirant for the presidency since
the war that ever dared to attack
the national bankers' trust. All
have boasted Of being Jefferson
democrats or Lincoln republicans,
but none have declared themselves
~ jackson democrats. jackson
had the audacity to measure
strength with a great central bank
1t il q jackson the country needs
and not a president and a congress
that waste their strength fooling
with the tariff to the exclusion Of
greater issues.
The position taken by Governo,
Wilson means a line up by the
money power against him and in
favor Of Governor Harmon oil
Ohio. Az the cards are now
stacked it will be Taft ON the re-.
publican ticket and Harmon as hi,
opponent.

! Now, ozone is an unstapie form of
oxygen, and quickly changes back
into free oxygen and the waste prod
ucts are thoroughly oxidized and are
eliminated in the natural form of
urea
This saturation of oxygen enables
nature to take a rest and the body is
restored TO normal health.
The cause, the uric acid, has been
removed and consequently the pain
full symptoms return no more.
But rheumatism is only one of the
many diseases that can be success
fully treated by the yiro current.
This particular form Of current
can be used with equal success in
practically all of the chronic dis
eases. Deafness and paralysis Gin
some forms) chronic constipation,
anemea, woman's troubles, kidney or
liver disorder, catarrh, sciatica, lum-
bago and many .other OF the stub
born ailments fly like magic before
the irresistible thrush of the wonder
full viro current.
At the Viro Medical institute this
electric life force is poured into the
patients bodies, and proper action Of
all organs naturally follows, and the
disease vantshes.
The Viro Medical institute is
without doubt the best equipped
electrical institute in this part of
the country and the specialist en-
ployed there are all picked men in
this particular line.
The opportunity has been provided
for you, and it is up TO you to
grasp it.
Don't delay your cure.
Remember that the only cases tax
en- are those which can either be re-
lieved or cured.
Look out for those pains that come
and go. They are natures warnings
and should be needed. Each day
of sickness is 8 day lost, and time is
flying faster and faster.
The methods used are those which
have been endorsed by the greatest
scientists OF the day.
But it should not need much argu-
ment TO convince. when the old meth
DDS have so repeatedly failed TO
bring you relief.
There is no mystery about this
treatment Come up TO the Offices
and see for yourself.
Consultation with the physicians
will be free until Aug. 81 The viro
Medical institute is located az the
southeast corner of Third avenue and
Seventeenth street, Rock Island, Ill.
The Office hours are from until y

THE SENSATION OF THE AGE
EVERYONE IS AsToNIsHED AT WONDERFUL HEALTH
GIVING POWERS OF THE NEW VIRo CURRENT

It has been truly said that rheu-
matism is merciless.
Have you ever experienced the
grinding, nerve rasping pain. the
tender aching muscles, the swollen,
burning joints, the stiffness and the
soreness?
Truly it is the DEVILS sickness,
and there is 10 drug that can, un-
aided, cure it
You have only to feel that grind
ing, acute pain in your joints to
fully appreciate the feelings of a
man burned at the stake or having
his bones torn, broken and twisted
on the rack.
1t is merciless, agonizing, sleep
destroying.
1t lets up at times for an hour or
two, only to turn loose again more
pitiless than ever.
1t leaves one joint and moves to
another with double intensity.
1t eats up all your vitality. ex-
hausts your patient and unless you
conquer it. it may reduce you to a
chronic, rheumatic cripple, with
joints enlarged, twisted and deform-
ed and strength enough only 10 drag
your limbs around
Rheumatism gives many warnings,
and we can cure 1t with ease II taken
IN time While we can conquer the
most stubborn case Of rheumatism
with the wonderful viro current, yet
II is much easier If only taken in
time
II you have ever felt stiffness in
your knees. back or shoulders, or felt
that sudden pain in any of your
joints, you should lose no time in
paying q visit to the Viro Medical
institute. For II you let these
come and go pains" come often,
without paying attention to them,
you will lay up long days Of agony
for yourself
Those who have suffered long
years with this awful pain should
at least investigate. the treatment
given at the Viro Medical institute.
The viro current is one of the few
such cures for all cases of rheuma-
tism and all chronic diseases.
The viro current cures the disease
by removing the cause.
In the case OF rheumatism. the
waste products are not sufficiently
oxydized and instead OF the natural
urea being formed. uric acid is
made. II is the presence of this poi
son in the blood which causes the
painful rheumatism.
When the wonderful viro current
is poured into the system by means
.,rh
IS generated in every cell OF the body.
