A Contagious Complaint
Written for THE EVENING JOUR
NAL by James 7. Crozier.

The sweetest time Of year is here,
But very apt to bring
A fever that is quite severe,
Preceded by "the spring.
This fever is a bad disease,
And when you catch It bad
You will not care if you displease,
Best friends you ever had.
You'll wish that work was never
made.
!. At least not in your time.
You'll wish to get beneath some
shade
Or use a fishing line.
But here's one thing you sure can do
And will not think of heat.
When feeding time shall come it's
true.
You'll show them you can eat.
II doesn't affect appetite,
And won't affect your sleep,
! know that all will say I'm right
Your eating strength will keep.
But if you're asked TO mind the child,
or fix the cellar door.
Spring fever then will set you wild,
You'll need the doctor more.
Well castor oil or salts or pills,
Will not do any good.
There is some other kind OF Ills
When you Won't care for food.
Spring fever though is different,
From fevers as a rule,
And if for food your moneys spent
You'll eat a piece Of mule.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The asser-
ton that the Pennsylvania railroad
and its branch roads, owning steam
ship lines operated on the Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries. enjoy mo-
nopoly and dictate rates, is made by
the Eastern Shore Development
Steamship Company in a brief filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission This company asks that the
commission dissolve the ownership of
the steamship lines.
The statement is made that the
Pennsylvania controls from 50 TO 80
per cent. of the traffic on the Chesa-
peake and "all the traffic moves by
the leave OF the Pennsylvania rail
road" This control. the brief says,
stiles competition and is against the
spirit Of the Panama Canal act. which
forbids railroads. unless authorized
by the commission, from controlling
steamship lines. Il is averred that
The Pennsylvania refuses to grant
through rates with independent steam
ship lines.

Rheumatism Soon
Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys Failing
TO ExpeI Poisonous Waste Matter.

Tired. over-worked kidneys allow
poisonous uric acid to remain in the
blood instead of expelling 1t from the
system. That is the cause of chronic
rheumatism. The disease gets into
some Joint or group Of muscles and
settles there, and only strenuous treat
ment will dislodge IL.
Rheuma softens the uric acid crys-

causing the terrible pains, and passes
them out of the system through the
Kidneys and bowels.
All the blood in the body passes

minutes. Unless it is pure the organs

From boyhood days. as a tobacco
factory laborer to president and ac-
tive director of one of the worlds
largest tobacco industries. tells the
snapshot life story of Richard J..
Reynolds. of Winston Salem, n. c.
Mr.. Reynolds believes in advertis-
ing. He reinvests between two and
three per cent of his annual sales
in advertising. When you know that
in 1914 the r. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company's output amounted to many
millions of pounds of tobacco, II isn't
difficult to understand just what two
or three per cent in advertising
means in dollars and cents. The Rey-
nOlds advertising account is among
the heaviest ever known.
In 1894 Mr.. Reynolds first realized
thai, properly applied and backed by
tobacco worth all he asked for IT,
advertising was profitable. He invest
ed $4,000 that year and saw his bus
mess grow over 100000 pounds. Next
year he spent five times as much
and his business doubledl
From that period to the present the
r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company has
surged forward with sincere belief in
the quality of its brands-and firm
confidence in marketing them Will
intelligently conceived and applied

Newspapers the Standard.
Newspapers and magazines have
constituted the backbone of all ouI
advertising" continued Mr. Reynolds

who has a good product with which
he can make popular appeal, and
will tell the truth about it in the

selling organization, will make an

that newspapers are unquestiOnably
