The pain was terrible and at times
would draw my head back. For months
was unable to lift my head from the
pillow and unable to feed myself. My
feet and ankles were too sore and
painful to bear my weight, and was
always guarding my knees for fear
someone would accidentally brush
against me. Even heavy teams going
by the house would affect me.
when l remained perfectly quiet l
was fairly comfortable, but the least
move would cause terrible pain. My
joints seemed dry and one could hear
them grind as though there was sand
in them. I treated with physicians
and tried many remedies, but the dis
ease continued to spread from one
joint to another and l was becoming
more helpless each day.
"My case seemed to be like many
that Var-ne-sis helped and decided to
try it. The improvement was not no.
ticeable at first, but gradually | was
able to sleep better and in the morning
the stiffness was not so severe, the
pain gradually disappeared, and by
continuing the medicine am today
absolutely free from rheumatism, not
an ache or pain, and give the credit
to Var-ne-sis. l would be glad to talk
to anyone about my case, for l feel
there are many others that will find
help il they will only take this wonder
full medicine"

I first noticed my finger joints were
charging and my hands were be.
coming very stiff. My knees also
troubled me great deal in going up

the disease creeping from one joint to
another until almost every joint in my
body was involved.

WOULD SEEK LIFE INDEMNITY.
New Insurance Angle in the Lusitania
Gases.

Washington. - Notice that several
life insurance companies will claim
part of any indemnity Germany may
pay on account of the loss of life on
the Lusitania has raised question for
which state department officials say
there is no precedent Heirs of many
of the Lusitania victims already have
presented claims. Final decision as
to whether insurance companies
claims on account of policies paid out
shall take precedence will rest with
Secretary Lansing.
Officials point out that where insur.
ance was paid on cargo, indemnity for
its destruction usually went to the in
surance company rather than to the
owners, but it was said there were
many arguments in justification of a
different course in case of the loss of
life.
Germany has offered indemnity for
the Lusitania victims, but acceptance
by the United States hinges on the
outcome of negotiations now In prog
ress for the settlement of all issues
growing out of the tragedy.

Bill Soon to Be Introduced in Congress
In Line of Preparedness.

Washington. = Creation of tariff
commission has been determined upon
by the Wilson administration. A bill
providing for such commission will
be introduced in congress in the near
future. The duties of the proposed
commission or board would be to col
lect information regarding the tariff
and to coordinate similar powers now
believed by President Wilson to be
held by existing government bodies.
Aside from his belief that the tariff
always should be treated in scientific
fashion the president has given con-
sideration to the situation which will
follow the European war and has been
urged by many of his advisers that
legislation will be necessary to safe
guard Americas commercial and in
dustrial interests when that time
comes,
