''Of the many privileges conferred on
the mobiles of Europe by the feudaf
system none was more jealously guard
ed or more frequently exercised than
the right Of waging private war;"
writes DR.. Macmillan in the Scottish
Review. This lawless custom was
the cause of untold misery, barbarity,
ruin and restitution. Upon the slight
est pretext--often indeed with no ex-
cuse at all-the feudal baron would
sally forth from his stronghold In or.
der to carry fire and sword into the
territories of some neighboring chief.
This abuse says Cox In his His
tory Of the House Of Austria" was
carried to SO great an extent that not
only sovereigns and states engaged in
hostil:ties from interest or revenge,
but the lesser barons, and even associ-
atoms Of tradesmen and domestics,
sent defances to each other on the
most ridiculous pretenses and in
manner scarcely credible at the pres
ent day.

Is Your Rheumatism
A Weather Prophet?

1t is a sin to be slave to the ag6nies
OF rheumatism whenever the weather
changes. For so cents Geo. A. Parcher or
any druggist will sell you bottle Of
Rheuma. [ Sc as directed and your pains
will soon disappear.
Rheuma will put your kidneys and
bowels in perfect condition. 1t gets to
the seat OF all the trouble and removes the
cause by driving out the unnatural
poisons. The use OF one bottle will con-
vince you that further suffering from
rheumatism is needless.

Scarlet Fever.

Scarlet fever is practically unknown
in the tropics, and doctors say this is
because so little fresh milk is drunk
there The streptococcus, which occurs
in large quantities in most raw milk, is
always present in scarlet fever, and

effect.
