Already almost en- Ieompassed on the south and south west by the invaders. the capital ap- parently IS being rapidly approached rom the west and northwest with the Rumanians and Russians nowhere lable to stem the tide. The encircling movement in the northwest from the regions of Tergovistea' and Petrosita is dangerously threatening the town of lioechti, and the only railroad run ming from Bucharest except east. In- dications are that the Teutons soon will be at the doors of the capital.

TRY THIS TO RANISH
 ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS

People who have been tormented for years-yes, even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves have been brought back to robust health through the mighty power of Rheuma.
 Rheuma acts with speed; it brings in a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the pois- ons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness completely disap- pears.
 It is a harmless remedy, but sure and certain, because it is one discov- cry that has forced rheumatism and sciatica to yield and disappear.
 Try Q 50-cent bottle of Rheuma, and if you do not get the joyful relief you expect, your money will be re- turned. Clark & Brainerd company always has a supply of Rheuma and guarantees it to you.

POST SEASON FOR MINORS.
American Association Head Favors
 Games With International.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Thomas M. Chiv- ington, president of the American As- sociation, is in favor of post season series of games between the Interna- tonal League and American Associa- tIon clubs next season.
 President Chivington announced yesterday that he would recommend the adoption of a shorter schedule for the 1917 season at the annual meeting of the association in Indianapolis next Friday, and the appointment of a committee to arrange a post season series of probably forty y-eight games with the International League clubs all of the clubs of the two leading leagues participating.
 Playing a post season series, MT. Chivington said, would create a new interest in the two leagues. He said he was not opposed to having the headquarters of the American Asso- citation moved from Chicago, as has been suggested. He said it was con- sidered likely that the club owners at their meeting Friday, would decide upon a change. Milwaukee, Indian apolis and Louisville are understood to be in the race for the headquarters.

GREENWOOD OLD FASHIONED
Evangelist at Peoples Church Breaches Ancient Gospel and Says Salvation is Entirely New.

If the old Gospel lis the power of God unto salvation," as Paul declares, then the campaign at the Peoples Church, Court street, will certainly see ''salvation' under the trenchant preaching of Evangelist Greenwood, for he breaches the old fashioned Gospel, "good news of deliverance to men who are 'lost.' He declares that no other message has ever brought revival, that all the great waves of revival that have swept over the country, transforming com munities have had behind them shoul- dering them forward the proclamation of deliverance from sin through the gift of a new heart from God.
 Last night this was his message, very clear, strong. loving, and driven home with a wealth of homely illus tration. Salvation is not "addition" to what a man already has. but some thing entirely new, the old flung to the scrap heap. A miser sold his city lot to a wealthy man whose estate adjoined He got so large a price that he went and patched it up and painted it before delivering it. only to be told that the new owner had no use for his old shack: he didn't want the house; what he wanted was the situation.
 Nor is salvation "Reformation." It is Transformation Be ye trans formed, by the washing of regenera- tion." Reformation Is only re-forma- ton.
 The meetings increase in interest every day; conversions have taken place already, though no trail hit ters' have been called for; and every afternoon and evening at and 7:45 D. m., MT. Greenwood can be heard, in sermon and song. TOmO mOrroW the afternoon meeting will be for prayer, will cover three hours, to 5, and Pastor Hartman will have the o'clock meeting; Rev. Lyman s. John son the o'clock; and MT. Greenwood the o'clock.
