MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled.up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are
Taken

IL is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up. and bent out OF shape with its
heart-wrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
Rheumatism comes from weak, in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies TO relieve the pain. This
only. .prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you. ,..,t
The only way to cure rheumatism
Is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
n the st~opped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out Of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
&c rheumatism, kidney troubles. and
bladder disorders. You will find ii
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
II matters not how old you are. OF
how long you have suffered, 1t is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results
You will find relief from the first few
doses. and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.

costs but a trihe at any frst-clasl
drug store. All druggists are au'

back guarantee. Three doses a day
for a few days is often all that 4

Allies Continue to Press Of
tensiVe South Of LaOn, but
Only Slight Progress is Re-
ported So Rush Fresh Troops

Paris, Dec. 3-Heavy cannonading
by Germans and a vigorous reply by
the allied guns marked the fighting
in the region near Ypres and Arras
today. The allies continue to press
their offensive south of Laon, but
only slight progress is reported.
Both French and British armies are
preparing for the new attempt by
Germans to drive their way through
the strongly entrenched line to the
coast. Upwards of 100000 Germans
are declared to be on the front from
the sea to Ypres. Heavy reinforce
ments are reported south of Ostend.
During the last few days $4,000
German reinforcements are reported
to have arrived.
1t is believed, however, that the
apparent concentration on the west
ern end of the line may prove to be
fake and the full force of the re-
newed attempt may again fall within
the User region. Fresh troops of the
second British army have relieved
the French in this district in antici-
patton of the new drive.
The German attack along the
SotiSt ndS uStH IeS uIneu anu VI iS n
fighting is also in the region south
of Ypres. The official communique
declares there was lively cannonad-
Ing at Nieuport and the Ypres region
yesterday. The Germans are also
again being flooded out from Dix
nude.
The inundation by the opening oil
the dykes is now extending south o1

official statement says:
There was lively cannonadins
from Nieuport to south of Ypres
The inundation is now extending

of the cost Of this work was nineteen
cents cubic yard, scow measure
ment.

Staten Island Sound Deeper Water
ways Association, has sent a letter
to Mayor Ferd Garretson notifying
him of the receipt of estimates. The

THANKS BOARD OF
TRADE AS COPPER
MARKET CLEARS

In response to communication
sent by Secretary Hugh Lynch to the
Copper Country Commercial Club of
Houghton, Mich, extending the
thanks of the local Board of Trade
for their cooperation in the move
ment instigated by the Perth Amboy
organization to relieve the copper
situation, the following letter has
been received from G. L. Price, secre-
tary of the Michigan club:
Your kind favor of November 23
is at hand and the Copper Country
Commercial Club directs me to ex-
press to you our most sincere appre-
citation of the action On your part
1--WE have noted here within the
past ten days decided improvement
in the copper situation. One of our
largest producers, which had been
operating half time, announced to-
day that they will go on full time
Monday. The effect of the move
ment inaugurated by your association
has, / believe, been most beneficial
to the copper industry the country
over.
Locally, the most optimistic spirit
is prevalent and there is a general
undercurrent Of feeling that the first
of the year will see the crisis passed
and that decided turn for the bet
ter will follow.
Thanking you for your co-opera-
tion and counsel, and trusting that
you will call upon us If we can be of
further assistance in this matter"

NEW INDUSTRY IN

LAND IS SOLD?
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

men here now see a great future for
the borough in the development of
its manufacturing. A representative
who is said to be agent for some
large mandatory, has been here for
the past week securing options on a
number of acres of land. 1t is de-
clared that some 800 acres lying in
this borough, part of which borders
the Staten Island sound, have been
optioned, and that If the deals are
eliminated, 1t will call for expendi-
lures of some 100000 for the prop
erty alone An effort to get in touch
with the owners of the property re-
ported to have been optioned, were
unsuccessful today.
Among the properties said to have
been optioned are the following:
Savage tract, which borders the
sound; the Brody property and
meadow lands.
