RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. It is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim q
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets firmer hold on the blood

REPORTED THAT MANIFEST AND

BE ABANDONED.
SHIPPERS STAND AGAINST
HIGHER RATES THE CAUSE
II Rumorsd Order Goes Into Effect
Many Fast Freight Trains and Crows

nodities knocked Out.

Waterloo. Feb. 10.-A report was
current in railroad circles today that
on next Sunday all the railroads west
of Chicago would discontinue the run
ming of all manifest and special mer-
chandise trains. This move is to be
an act of retaliation at the shippers
and interstate commerce commission
who took a firm stand in opposition to
the proposed increase of freight rates
The roads insist that such an increase
is vital to their interests and most
necessary owing to the recently grant
ed wage increases to their employees
and the present high cost of all ma
terial
Means Decentralization.
The illinois Central operates a
greater number of manifest trains
than do the other roads passing
thru this city. O Several trains. known
as fast freights, are sent east, west
and north out of here every day. In
the event these trains are pulled Off a
car Of butter would be placed in q drag
freight alongside a car of coal and
perhaps he several days in reaching its
destination two or three hundred miles
distant. The plan of the roads in pull
ing Off the manifest trains is reported
to be to demonstrate to the shippers
how helpless they would be without
the active cooperation Of the roads
and thus to pave the way for the in
crease in rates.
