RHEUMATISM 4 MYSTERY

Some diseases give immunity from an. other attack but rheumatism works just the other way.
 Every attack of rheumatism invites another. Worse than that it reduces the body's power so that each attack is worse than the one before.
 If any disease needs curing early it is rheumatism but there is almost no dis ease which physicians find more difficult to treat successfully. When medicine does help rheumatism nobody knows how or why it does it.
 All authorities agree that the blood be- comes thin with alarming rapidity as rheumatism develops. Maintaining the quality of the blood therefore is reason able way. of preventing and combating rheumatism. That it works out in fact is shown by the beneficial results in the treatment of rheumatism, acute, muscu- lar and articular, with the blood tonic, Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 That hundreds who take Dr. Williams: Pink Pills for their rheumatism get well is fact beyond dispute. That the rheu matism does not return as long as the blood is kept rich and red lis equally true.
 Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y., for the free pamph- let Building Up the Blood'' and kindly mention this paper. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

MUST USE PAPER, NAPKINS.
Ban on Linen and Cotton Mouth
 Cloths in StyIia.

Correspondence of the Associated Press) .
 Vienna, March 26.-So altered are conditions in Styria, once the vaca- ton Mecca of tourists, that the au- thorities have had to forbid the use of linen and cotton napkins in hotels, restaurants and cafes. The officials claim, after investigation, that in many cases insufficient care has been taken in washing linen, and that in consequence disease has been spread.
 In place of the linen and. cotton napkins, proprietors are ordered to use paper napkins, Which are to be burned at once after using The new order is posted in all hotel rooms and hotel owners are warned that they will be punished for failure to install the paper substitutes. The order ap- piles as well to fashionable hotels in Innsbruck as to little inns in more remote places.

Suggest That Warning Countries
 Halt to Discuss Peace.

1 Correspondence of. the Associated Press.) The Hague, March 26.-The Inter national Congress of Women to be held here early in April is arousing the greatest interest and it is hoped by the organizing committee that del- egates will be present from nearly all the countries in the world, in order to discuss the position of women as a result of the war and the possibil- ity of placing them in a better situa- tion in the future.
 The questions to be discussed in clude:
 G)-A resolution with a view to bringing about an armistice in order to discuss peace.
 (2)-The formation of an interna- tional court of arbitration to discuss questions arising between nations be- fore they proceed to hostilities
 (3)-The drafting of an interna- tional rule compelling all nations to come before this cour. and provid- ing at the same time for International action against any country taking up arms without applying to the court
 (4)-The control of foreign pol- tics by the people of a nation in stead of by groups or parties.
 (5)-A resolution forbidding the annexation of any territory without the consent of the men and women forming the population of the terri tory itself. .>>.a.
 GOA resolution declaring war an access of insanity brought about by suggestion which leads people to de- stroy in a short time what it has taken centuries to build up.
 C)-A motion declaring women responsible for war because they. do not exercise their undoubted influ- ence to prevent it and calling on them to claim full political rights so that they may be able. to bring that in f1uence properly to bear. .-,.. 70

.fR0CDOM ANNOUNCES
 SPRINGS ARRIVAL Knights Of the Road Hear Call
 and Start higT9tionS.

1 It is customary in New Britain to 1 regard the peeping of the frogs in 1 the marshes an unfailing indication l of springs arrival and last night the frogs peeped Spring is here!
 1 The robins also are regarded as an- ] nouncers and they have been heard ] for more than week. Tbe frogs however, have settled the matter. Mere man did not need the frogs and the robins to make him realize the arrival of spring today It was in the air. Only the idlers, however were able to respond to It's call and among these idlers were the great un- washed, or the hoboes. The falling eff in the calls of these gentlemen at the office of the Charity Organization has assured Miss Elsie osborne the agent, that spring has come and that
 the vagabonds have begun their peri
 pathetic peregrinations. In other
 words, the hoboes have hit tine trail.
 The Charity Orga of this city has been no more successful with these pariahs of society than other cities. They arrive just before even ing at the office and ask Tor a meal and a bed. Usually they are ire spOnsible persons, their former en- Vironment often being responsible for their condition. A bed and a meal make them comfortable until they can continue their Wanderings.
 Chesterfield Visits.
 Although the greater number are Yahoos a Chesterfield sometimes visits the Charity Organization. Such a man called on Miss Osborne recent ]y. He came from the south, where his wife was doing social work. She had divorced him once, married him a second time, and again divorced him. His chief failing was an addic- tion to dope. These facts were learned by correspondence. The or ganization was successful in getting work for him.
 Another who confessed to spending most of his time in the libraries of the cities he visited and who only lived for the pleasure ne got out of reading, visited the offices one day this month. His parents were sea farers, and he had become a way farer. He had visited every exposi- tion held during his life, working his way from town to town. Now he is going to San Francisco. His only 1 purpose, he alleged, was to acquire ! Work was obtained for ] him nearby and ne was heard from | once afterward.

$l05,000 A DAY TO FEED PRISONERS
Over 100000 Men are ClptiVss
 in Germany.

Correspondence of the Associated PressD
 Berlin, March 26.-How to take care of the hordes of prisoners of war captured by the German armies food alone costs for each man sixty pfennigs (fifteen cents) a day-is an increasing problem with which the authorities are wrestling.
 It is estimated that the list of pris- oners, including those captured in Field Marshal von Hindenburg's lat est victory in East Prussia, now eN- ceeds 100000 men. This involves an expense for the mere feeding of the captives of about $1O5,O0O a day.
 In very available way the men are being put to work-on farms, on the roads, in iron works and coal mines and in clearing and retaining vast areas of marsh and moor land prin- cipally in, the eastern part of the em- pire.
 Russians More Available.
 Experience thus far has convinced the Germans that the Russians are far more available for this manual labor than the English or the French. none of the latter of whom lend them selves easily to the hard work to which the Russian peasants seemed accustomed
 One of the most important pieces of work on which the Russians are being employed in ever larger numbers is the reclamation of nearly 1000 hec- tares of unfruitful, waste land along the Leba river from Lauenburg to the Seba sea. adjacent to the bay of Danzig.
 War Stopped Work
 Plans to accomplish this date back as far as the time of Frederick the Great, but up to the present have never progressed further than the partial strengthening of the river bed. At the time of the outbreak of war l some sixty hectares had been re- | claimed by force of 300 men. who | stopped work when the fighting start l ed.
 Already 5000 Russians, in two ! camps, are at work draining the land | and lnstituting improvements that in- | clude irrigation, blowing and plant ing of meadows. Through these pris- 1 oners and others who will be added | 70 the ranks it is expected that the i work so long delayed will be finished n record time
 Highways Made PassabIc.
 Thousands of the soldiers captured n the recent Hindenburg victory were put at work at once clearing the roads of snow and mud, and, so great vas the number employed that with m short time the highways were 1 pa assa ble everywhere in the rear of the German army.

There are already a large number l l # prisoners in the Ignite mines near l and thousands are at work constructing new chaussees. prin- ipally in the east. Others are busy n road repair work In the west of Germany. where the Trench and English prisoners are in redominence, various plans are un- CT way already for using the men in agricultural pursuits so that crops hay be planted, cared for and har- ested at the earliest possible time.

more than $239, 900 900.
'ln the past four years the depart
