DON'T 60 TO BED WITH
 COLD FEET
Says: "Often Brings on Attacks c
 Acute Rheumatism.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and people who are subject to attacks of rheumatism should never go to bed with cold feet.
 A whole lot is being said about taking salts and effervesing tablets for rheumatism and sciatica, but those who suffer sharp twinges and painful swollen joints need something powerful to overcome their piteous suffering.
 Any broad-minded druggist will tell you that one-half teaspoonfui of Rheuma taken once @ day is driving more rheumatism out of afflicted peo- pie than all the salts on earth. Right in this neighborhood The Clark & Brainerd Co.,, and all druggists sell large quantities of it, and it's the surest and most inexpensive remedy ---about 50 cents a bottle.

About nine years ago I had Theu- matism so bad that I was in bed for six weeks. 1 was not able to raise my head to take drink of water. was unable to nave my hands or feet, and my back would hurt me so that words could not tell what I suffered.

NORWAY INQUIRIES
 ON LOSS OF SILIUS
Reported to Have Asked Germany
 as to Cause -.-..

London, March 14., 1.03 D. m.-A Reuter- despatch from Christiana says it is reported there that the Nor wegian governments has asked Ger many whether a Gernan submarine torpedoed the Norwegian bark Silius which, with seven Americans on board, was sunk last week off the French coast. If the Silius was thus torpedoed, the despatch says, an eN- planation of the conditions under which the attack was made is re- quested.
 The German government is repre- sented here as believing that tor pedo was not responsible for the loss of the bark, holding that any com mander who attacks a neutral ship such as the Silius without warning would be exceeding his instructions.
 Case Under Investigation.
 The sinking of the Silius has been the cause of much concern here be- cause American Consul Osborne at Havre reported that the ship was tor pedoed without warning. His report was based on statements of American survivors. Officials are inclined to entertain the possibility that the ship might have been struck by a mine, but the case is being investi- gated further.
 Today the state department re- cefved another report from Consul Osborne which made no mention of the cause of the sinking, merely say Ing the vessel was unarmed, carried a cargo of grain and no passengers. or the crew of seventeen members perished, among them the captain. a Norwegian.
 Consul Osborne also reported the names of four of the seven Ameri- cans aboard the ship as John Hart man, Philadelphia and Daniel NobaI, John Van Galen and Henry Mona han, addresses not given. Hartman is in a hospital with a fractured hip. The other three are on the way to New York aboard the steamer Texan drIer, due to arrive here April ].
