BALTIC CLOSED TIGHTER.
Sweden Will Try to Stop Danish Ship
ments to Russia.

LONDON, Feb. PA Copenhagen
despatch to the Telegraph com
pany says that, according to the Snaellpos-
ten, the Swedish minister Of Justice has
appointed a commission to prohibit the
transportation along Swedish territorial
waters of all such goods as are forbidden
to be exported from Sweden Tie prohi-
hition is said to be directed against Danish
merchants who are largely interested in
transporting merchandise to Russia
through Swedish waters.
This step, the newspaper points out, will
make the Baltic a still more closed inland
sea, the conditions being especially aggra-
waited by the new mine field which the
Germans have held at the entrance into
the Baltic. The Swedish Social Demo.
kraten asks whether German mine laying
is being carried out so as to permit small
ships at least to 60 around the southern
most point of Sweden This newspaper
adds that it expects Sweden to protest If
any intention is shown of placing the en-
tire Baltic traffic under German control.

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat
Less Meat.

stay eff the damp ground, avoid ex
Iosufe, keep feet dry, eat less meat.
elE lots OF water and above all take
spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated IA the bowels and absorbed into
tHc blood IL is the function of the
kidneys 70 filter this acid from the
blood and cast il out in the urine The
pores OF the skin are also means OF
freeing the blood OF this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores arc closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to DO double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the Joints and
muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism
At the first twingc of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about -four
ouncrs Of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in q glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor.
NAL action, thus Kidding the blood OF
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithla
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism Here you have pleasant
effervescent Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.

CONCERT WILL BE
EXCEPTIONAL EVENT
Music Lovers Anticipate Return of Miss
Kent-OTpheus Male Chorus, So
prano and Baritone Soloists.

The music lovers of Brattleboro who
attended the Kent concert at the Au-
ditorium two years ago hold in delight
full remembrance Miss Charlotte Kent
of New York, whose brilliant technique
as pianiste and whose musicianship
they will hear again with keen pleas.
ure at the Red Cross benefit concert
IN the Auditorium the evening of Tues
day, Feb. %. 1t is through her inter-
est In Red Cross work in Europe that
this concert has been arranged and
Brattleboro is her debtor for an ex-
ceptlonal musical event She is in the
first years of her musical career and
while better known IN Europe as q
concert pianiste by reason of her resi-
dence abroad most of the time for a
number of years there will be shown
a full measure of appreciation when
she appears at this concert.
john +. Ahern, baritone. of Spring
field, who assisted at the Kent concert
two years ago, viii be heard again at
the Red Cross concert. His rich and
pleasing voice is said to be even bet
ter today than when he sang in Brat
tleboro before, though this is difficult
TO imagine for its mellowness of quail.
ity and perfect control left nothing to
be desired.
A singer new to Brattleboro will b.
introduced at this concert, Miss Mary
Castor of New York, soprano at the
Marcy avenue Baptist church She pos
sesses a voice of singular purity, and
its power is well tempered by fine mu-
steal feeling, for she is an interpretive
artistic Of great ability.
Concerning the Orpheus club the
people of Brattleboro know by reputa-
ton that much can be expected of its
part in the program. None the less, IT
is certain that genuine musical sur
prise awaits even those who are IA
miliar with the singing Of large male
choruses, for in nicely of finish as
well as robustness of tone when vocal
power is demanded the $50 trained
voices of this club respond to the will
of its conductor in fashion which
will be revelation. In all of the
qualities which constitute musicianly
ensemble Of the highest order the club
will surpass the expectations of those
who hear it, for the beauty of its mu-
steal effects cannot be imagined by one
who has never heard them. They must
be heard to be realized.

Now come two to dispute the title, as
follows:

small so soon after marriage. but he
can no longer hold title to being the
tallest man IN Vermont, for | have a

Georgia and Alabama
Contest Decided by G. o. P.

Chicago, June ,. - Consideration of
claims of contesting delegations to the
national convention was resumed to-
day by the Republican National Com
nnttee which opened its deliberations
here yesterday with a continuous ses-
sion lasting more than nine hours.
The result of yesterdays work was
decision in the cases of sixteen dele
gates, nine from Georgia and seven
from Alabama. The Henry S. Jack
son delegation from Georgia were
awarded seats and the seven protests
In Alabama were settled by the seating
Of six regular delegates-at-large and a
protesting delegate from the ninth
Congressional district.
The committee also voted to place
the delegates from Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippines on the temporary
roll with the recommendation that
they be given votes.
The Louisiana contest involving
twelve delegates was the first taken
up to-day. 1t will be followed by the
contests in Mississippi, Missouri and
North Carolina in the order named.
The fight in the louisiana delegation
to-day is between the so-called lilly
whites" and the "black and tans" as
has been the case at many former
committee meetings preceding ma
tional conventions. The contesting
delegations were chosen at separate
meetings in Louisiana, the lilly
whites" held their meeting at a hotel
in New Orleans where colored people
were not allowed entrance. The dele
cation was consequently composed ex-
clusively of whites, the colored popu-
lation being given no representation,
The other delegation Is composed OF
an equal number of whites and col
orcd people. Neither side is commit
ted to any candidate.
