When asked for further particulars,
Mr.. West said:
Il suffered from rheumatism and
neuritis for years, and in spite of
treatment grew verse. My right
knee, hip and ankles were absolutely
stiff. My left arm was turned inward
and my neck was drawn backward.
In fact l had every symptom of what
they call rheumatoid arthritis. The
pain was terrible and it was almost
impossible for me to go up or down
stairs. l was unable to sit down on
account of the pain and stiffness and
had to change my position in bed

in two months, had no appetite and
was unable to sleep on account of the
pain.
"A friend of mine knew of my con-
dition and kept after me to try Var
ne-sis as he had been cured by it.
and was confident it would do the
same for me. Well, l finally decided
to try II, and in two monsls' time
felt like new man; the pain and
stiffness left, I began to gain in
weight and gradually my health re-
turned so that l would never know
I had any troutSe. cAnnot speak
too highly of Var ne-sis after what
it has accomplished in my case.

ferent people and they have reported
good results. except in one case

Bleeding with many wounds, an

And now came sWanaps and marshes,

with hate.
And then passed word from rank to

NEXICANS ARE HAPPY
 IN REFUGEE CAMP
Plenty to Eat, Little Work and
 Many AmuS8n8nts.

Fort Bliss, Tex.-There are many situations more undesirable than that of a Mexican refugee enjoying Amer lean bounty at Fort Bliss. As place where there is abundance to eat and a minimum of work, the camp has gain ed such repute locally that the Amen- Can soldiers guarding the camp must be constantly on the lookout to prevent hungry Mexicans from crawling under or climbing over the wire fence sur rounding the camp to join their more fortunate fellows within. It Is only the Mexican officers who seem to feel humiliated by it and desire to escape as half a dozen have.
 Except in the. matter of sanitaaon' personal cleanliness, etc, the Mexican officers and their men are permitted to do much as they please. And they have made themselves perfectly at home, A few hours after their arrl- val the women of the camp had pre- pared as cozy home for the winter, from the Mexican point of view, as a soldier could desire. They had little to do beyond unloading their packs containing household effects, blankets and certain treasures they had man. aged to save. The government has fur pished conical wall tents for houses' which to most of the soldiers is lux ury.
 The women are the hardest workers in the camp. but they don't have to forage for food and fuel, as many Of them have been doing for many months in northern Mexico. With cheery fire to take the bite out of the north wind, and nothing to do most of the time but bask In the sun. the men, women and children ln the camp are well content. Every one in the camp must take a bath at least twice a week. There are showers available so that those who care to may use them every day, but only few take advantage of them. They have their cock fights and there is no lack of music by the band of the remnant army, most or whose members managed to save their musical instruments from the rebels and from confscatiOn by the American troops.

Tillman. Another veteran of the senate who is rounding out his last term is Perkins, of California, whose long illness has almost pros rated him. A senator who cannot make a struggle is Thornton, of Louisiana, whose successor, Robert F. Broussard, now a representative, has already been elected. Des- pite the fact that he has always been considered leader of the progressive republicans, Cummins, of Iowa, will probably be opposed by a progressive candidate, even if he has no opposition in his own party.
 While he will have no opposition in the general elections, Clarke, of Arkansas, President pro tempore of the senate, will have a hard fight with Judge ". r. Kirby, of the State Supreme Court. Clarke is now mending fences back home, not having been n the senate since the Christmas recess. COe l. Crawford has also been mending fences, back in South Dakota since Christmas. In his own party Chas. Fl. Burke will probably oppose him, while Edward s. Johnson will probably lead tho Democrats in the general election.
 George Ade, the humorist, is being brought forward to succeed Senator Shively, of Indiana. Al bert J. Beveridge will contest with Ade, should Ade run, for the pro- gressive nomination. Candidates for the republican nomination are Ex-goveruor W. T. Durbin, former Mayor Of Indianapolis, Charles A Bookwalter, and w. L. Taylor. Shiy- ely is unlikely to be opposed in the Democratic party as Taggart has said he will not run.
 A whole flock of candidates are aspiring against Senator Jones, ot Washington, which state last time sent the only progressive in the senate, PoindeXter, to that body Roger c. Sullivan, of Chicago would, it is asserted, like to sue and may make tile race. COnsid, ceed. Senator Sherman, of Illinois ering the size of the state, the number cf avoweG candidates is small. There is another state where a republican seat seems tc be in danger, John Walter smith of Maryland, seems practically cer tain of reelection.
 Democratic voters in Alabama will have a chance to choose be tween Representatives Hobson anc Underwood. This is to fill the uu expired term of the late Senator Johnson, for which the senate re gently refused to seat 2. P. Glass
 Stephenson, of Wisconin, i likely to be opposed by some ont more agreeable to La Toilette, a' the latter it is said, would like tc have a more progressive colleague
