Cause OF rheumatism.
From the American Magazine.

WIG <hLhSl S<1 e
"The cause of rheumatism is pus
formed and imprisoned in some part of
the body. 1t gets into the circulation
md is carried by it to the region af-
fected. These pus places may be in
tpots more or less closed up, SO they
are not easily drained. They may be
located about the teeth, at the end Of
the root of dead or diseased teeth, in
he crypts of the tonsils in some of the
sequestered places in the nostrils, in
the bony sinuses Of the head; they may
be in the bladder, the kidney, the gall
ducts or other places. The pus
producing spot may be as small OF
;maller than a pea or it may be larger.
It's existence is frequently unknown to
he patient, especially if it be hidden in
soft tissue like the tonsil. 1t may even
exist in the bony socket of a tooth
without giving pain.
Several different organisms produce
pus, and any or all may produce rheu-
natiSm when transferred to the Joints
Or the heart.
The physician today seeks for the
pus cavity when he meets a patient
with rheumatism, and he endeavors to
clean it Up. Rheumatic pains have
been stopped with magical promptness
by simply extracting the offending
tooth. 1t is not always easy to sfind the
pus places in the hidden parts of the
body. The X-ray shadowgraph is es-
sential In locating the trouble; it shows
definitely and accurately all trouble
about h roots Of the teeth and it's use
10 therefore Of the first importance in
ferreting OF the pus in the deep
structures"

EMPRESS G E TO
FULFILL PROPHECY

Marlborough, Hampshire. Eng.
When Empress Eugene Of France re.
Gently celebrated her a0th birthday at
the residence where she passes her
exile from her native country she bade
fair to fulfill a prophecy made by a
gypsy woman at Madrid in 1SS9-that
she would live somewhere about 100
years. She enjoys remarkable health
and is able to get about the house, al"
though suffering somewhat from lanes
ness for many years. Every day she
is taken out in a bath chair to enjoy
the open air, of which she is extremely
fond.
The empress often entertains visit
ors, mostly relatives. and with her on
her birthday were Prince Victor Ma
poleon and Princess Clementine and
their family. In one wing of her house
she has had apartments fitted up fer
a number of wounded British officers,
n h paid a visit to them on the day
of her anniversary and spoke to them
Of their experiences at the front, for
she exhibits keen interest in the war.
On several occasions she has invited
small parties of the less severely
wounded among them to dinner, and
their presence at her table appears to
have a remarkable effect ON her
spirit.
The story of h gipsy's prophecy is
told in connection with a slight acct
dent which occurred to the little Span
ish princess when she was only 13.
h was a girl of very high spirit and
one day when romping Slid down the
stair banister so fast that she dashed
her head against a projection and fell
unconscious. A gypsy woman who was
passing the doorway entered and as
sisted in restoring the princess, whose
mother was bewailing the accident.
There is no danger, said the gypsy.
THE little lady will live to about 100.
She was born under the open sky on
the night of a battle. She will be a
queen"
AS a matter of fact, whether the
gypsy knew it or not, the girl who was
| to become empress Of France was born
at Granada in a tent in the palace gar
den, where her mother had taken ref
uge during an earthquake.
The princess helself was rather SUI
perstitious, and when she was afi-
anced to the emperor. Napoleon III, she
was found one day by her mother in
the act of working out a symbol of let
ters and figures, which on lnvestiga-
! ton turned out to be her own name,
Eugene, with the initials of her future
husband, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,
added. She added together the number
y of the letters in accordance with their
order in the alphabet, which gave the
, following result: E-5. U-21, CT, E-5,
MA, 1-9, E-5, LIP, MIA and b.,
equaling "a.
Ever afterwards she asserted she
would live to that age.

GERMANS ARE DRINKING
VAST AMOUNT OF "POP"

Berlin-War, which has worked so
many changes in the daily habits of the
Germans, has now c%onspired with
warm weather to induce the Germans
to drink soft drinks" Bottles of lem
on sour, ginger ale, ream soda and
other beverages included under the
generic name OF pop" in the United
States are beginning to make their ap-
p%earance on shelves and bars formerly
devoted to beer. and the thirsty people
are drinking them. not from choice, but
because they have to.
1t Is no longer possible to make
enough beer to meet even fairly modest
demands Of the reduced home popula-
ton. The majority Of the larger beer
gardens will not be opened at all this
summer, and for some weeks it has
been no unusual thing to find some of
Berlin's biggest restaurants and beer
halls without a drop of beer early in
the evening of warm days. The sale of
beer to households in containers
charged. with carbonic acid gas has
been discontinued. and only favored old
customers can still get bottled beer.
Bavaria, the greatest beer drinking
country of the world. where many a
solid citizen normally drinks one to
two gallons daily. and where the great
beer halls are filled at almost all hours
of the day, is in q still worse plight.

How to Foreteu Weather.

From st. Nicholas.
III you want fine weather, look for
fine weather signs. Here are some Of
the most reliable, for they are based
upon scientific facts:
When the sun sets in a sea of glory
that is, when the sunset, sky is red. YOU
may expect clear weather on the fol-
lowing day.
AT night, when the moon is clear and
shows clean edges, with no halo or ring
OF mist surrounding it, there is little
danger of rain.
When the wind blows steadily from
the west, the weather will continue
fa1r; 1t very rarely rains in our eastern
states with the wind in the west.
Watch the smoke from a chimney or
from YOUR campfire-it is a good ba,
rometer. II the smoke rises high, it
means clear weather. The smoke will
also show you from which direction
h wind Is blowing; SO will a flag on
an upright Flagstaff.
A gray early morning-not a heavy,
cloudy one-promises a fail day.
A heavy dew at night is seldom fol-
lowed by rain the next day. Think Of
1t this way and you will remember:
We feet, dry head.
II there are nc clouds at the western
horizon. you need not worry about 9th.
ers.
Animals are said often to show by
their actions what the weather will be.
and there is reason in this. Some Of
them certainly have a knowledge Of
coming storms. We r told that spi-
ders are especially sensitive to weather
changes. and, when they make new
webs. the weather will be fair; II they
continue spinning during q shower. It
will soon clear on.

NEW MUSIC BY
OLD MASTERS

At a time when artists and conduc-
tors spend precious energy in a bootless
search after novelties for the next sea-
son one reads with satisfaction the
by Ossip Gabrilowitsch to the effect
that "limttless new music is to be found
at the present day by composers who
have been accepted as the worlds
greatest for scores Of years." That fact
ought to be deeply pondered by those
who are losing sleep because the war
has put q quietus on creation abroad
and since success does not inevitably
reward their efforts to find something
OF domestic manufacture adapted to
their peculiar needs.
The acquisition OF fresh-laid novelties
has become an obsession with the pres
ent generation Of concert givers. They
would consider suicide as cheerfully as
a season in which they could not
ons some newly made production.
A fallacious sense Of duty dominates
them completely and they fail to realize
the illusory nature OF their quest. They
must have novelties not so much be-
the public yearns for them as for
the reason that the inner circle Of pro-
~fessionals consider them necessary, and
even more so-because some amiable
colleague might steal a march On them.
Consequently many an afternoon and
evening is made hideous with stuff
which ought never to have been hon
ored in the observance.
To-day more thar ever musicians
could profitably adopt Mr.. Gabrilowit-
sch's suggestion. New music by old
masters abounds. That it is not more
frequently exploited is due TO the aver
g concert giver's lack of enterprise
and initiative, to the baneful habit of
musicians of following like sheep in
the tracks of their predecessors. Mr.,
G~abrilowitsch speaks, in the interview
in question, only for pianists. He re-
minds them that Chopin has written
three times as much as the public hears
of him. But n can say as much of
many of the symphonic masters. Why.
! then, cannot conductors search these
| treasure houses for something new OF
unfamiliar as profitably as they co the

Electricity Kills Insects.

A process has just been developed In
the department of agriculture by
means of which insects and pests may
be killed by electricity. The process
consists in the application Of salt wa

current generates a gas which will in.

For Unified Railroad REGULATION.
ErOm the Cnicawn Neuus

lIolii liIc NsllttiSo NEWS.
One plank of the republican national
platform that is likely to be thought Of
great Importance by the American public
after it has been carefully studied is that
relating to railroad control. 1t reads:
Interstate and i%ntrastate transportation
have become so interviewer that the at
tempt to apply two and often several sets
of laws to its regulation has produced
conflicts of authority. embarrassment in
operation and inconcenience and expense
to the public. The entire transportatiou
system of the country has become essen
TALLY national. We, therefore. favor
such action by legislation, or. if neces-
stitution of the United States, as viii re-
control"
1t is a fact that regulation of railroad
transportation systems essentially ma
tional in their character-which in the
case of any one of them is now divided
among the nation and the various states
penetrated by the system in question
has produced confusion, inefficiency and
waste. Comparatively few railroads lie
wholly within the limits of a single state,
dairy depend for their principal usefulness
upon cooperation with Interstate trans
portation lines. Thee can be little doubt
long. run from the establishment of a
single agency for the exercise of control
over carrying corporations and certainly
the public.
State boundaries are INC arbi-
trary. Public utilities. as a rule, are
either primarily local in their nature or
else they perform interstate service. The
movement for local control of local public
utilities and the movement for national
regulation of utilities that are nationwide
in their scope consistently go forward as
part OF the same general effort to promote
efficiency.
Unified regulation of railroads is a
policy that is rapidly growing in favor on
Its merits. now that the experimental
stage OF public control of those great
transportation agencies has passed.
