Cause of Rheumatism Discovered.


In, the American Magazine is an ar
ticle on rheumatism by DR.. Arthur r.
Reynolds who says:
1.-THE cause of rheumatism is pus
formed and imprisoned in some part of
the body. 1t gets into the circulation
and is carried by it to the region at
fected These pus places may be in
spots 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
the crypts of the tonsils, in some OF
the sequestered places in the nostrils,
in the bony sinues 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 or
smaller than a pea or it may be larger.
It's existence is frequently unknown to
the 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 pro-
duce pus, and any or all may produce
rheumatism 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. It is not always easy to find 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 the roots of the teeth and it's use
is therefore of the first Importance in
ferreting out the pus in the structures. "

STRANGE how soon things go to smash

STRANGE how soon things go to smash
when some people are deprived of pub
lie office! At the Dane County Pro-
gressive conference in Madison last
week Hon. j. @. Emery, who has held
a responsible position under the state
government for years up to year ago,
is reported to have said: eff we have
sham and hypocritical government the
people are responsible. The present
administration in the capitol, and the
representatives of special privilege in
the past legislature show US the dan
ger of neglecting to act as unit. This
meeting is called, as | understand it,
as a protest against the maladminis-
tration of our state government" We
can hardly make ourselves believe that
things are quite as hopeless for we no
tice that his successor as dairy and food
commissioner is prosecuting offenders
of the law right along.

THERE is one very easy way to take
the tariff out of politics. That is for
the Democrats to come around to the
America First" policy and give up
their advocacy of the purchase of pro-
ducts of foreign labor. If the Demo-
cratic party will favor tariff which
gives the American laborer degree of
protection commensurate with the
higher standards of living in this coun-
try and the increased cost of produc-
ton, the tariff question will stay out of
Dolitics.

THE st. Louis convention was Will
son affair from start to finish instead
of a deliberative body. In short the
president had the convention ''buffa-
loed" and one man at Washington
pulled all the strings and the puppets
responded. The speakers, candidates
and platform were all dictated from
the executive office in a personally con-
Quoted performance and the cheer
leaders in the gallery did the rest. No
national convention was ever like it..

BIG ARMED Liner
MAKE PORTLAND
EARLY TUESDAY

Portland, Me-, Dec. Harmed with
a powerful gun on her stern, the
steamship Canada arrived here this
morning on her first trip in over two

submarine chaser"
Since her last trip to Portland over
two years ago, the Canada has been
used as transport and supply ship by
the British government and has made
many trips to the Mediterranean with
troops and war supplies.
With the gun mounted on her stern
and her once snow white superstruc-
ture painted with dull gray war paint,
the Canada appeared far different
than she did on previous trips to Port
land, and while officers Of the ship are
not permitted to give out any details
regarding the ships movements on
trips across the Atlantic Captain J..
Davies said that the trip had been I'M
eventful and that fine weather had
been encountered until three days be-
fore the ship arrived in Halifax. when
thick fog was encountered, and on the
run from Halifax to this port a blind
ing. snow storm caused considerable

Maine BOY SAVES
BROTHER FROM
LURE Of LIGHTS

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 12-Just be-
fore the police court closed one recent
afternoon, Judge Edward L. Steele
heard as novel a case, with a down.
east atmosphere to it. as he ever sat
through.
Ralph Jones, IS years old, accused
Of vagrancy, was the prisoner. and his
brother. Harold Jones, was the COM
planning witness.
Harold told his story first. The boys
had lived in Maine, up in Aroostook
county, while brother ran a farm in
Oakfeld, in the potato district. Pota-
toes however. didn't appeal to Harold
or Ralph. So they left, and finding
Boston too busy, came on to Connec-
ticut. Harold became connected with
a business house, but Ralph could
never hold his job. When his younger
brother loitered and went around with
questionable companions, Harold said
he was greatly incensed, but when the
boy started to hang around the stage
entrance to theatres, waiting to make
an impression on chorus girls. he de-
cided to take drastic steps against the
boy. The arrest followed.
Ralph was visibly affected by his
older brothers story in court. and
blamed his fall to 1.-THE fellows. judge,
honest it was the fellows in the gang"
He promised to be good. he would GO
to work, he would keep away from the
theatres and pass his evenings at
homo.
Ware the older brother interrupted
"a say he would stand sponsor for
Rainh. Judge Steele was himself i'm
pressed by the case and put Ralph on
nrobation, warning Harold to super
vtse the formers conduct.
And the Jones boys from down In
Maine went arm in arm to lunch.

Washington. Dec. 12-After another day
Of debate over the exclusion of aliens on
account Of race, the Senate late today
adopted the committee amendment to the
immigration bill which would bar Hindus
and certain other Asiatics without men
tioning them by name, with an added
provision stipulating that nothing in the
act shall be construed to repeal any ex
listing law, treaty or agreement which
serves to prohibit or restrict Immigration.
This added stipulation, proposed by
Senator Phelan of California, is designed
to replace the direct reference to the So
called gentleman's agreement with Japan
which was stricken out of the House bill
by the Senate committee at the request
Of the state department.
Lodges Protest
During the debate Senator Lodge and
Senator Phelan engaged in a lively COL
loquy. the former Insisting that it was

A few days ago an article appeared
in one or more of the out-of-town pa
pcrs concerning Augustus champion

whom it is claimed that he Is commit
