EVENTS IN FINLAND
 UNCHECKED BY WAR.
Art Exhibitions Are Being Held and
 Vigorous Work is Shown.

Helsingfors, Finland, Jan. 31.-Civ- ilization is marching on in Finland un- checked by war. Three art exhibitions are being held at the same time. and sane. wholesome and vigorous work is shown.
 But the great event in Finnish socie- ty this winter was the festival in com memoration of the fftieth anniversary of the birth of the composer Jean Si- belius, known and admired in the United States, Sibelius is at the height of his productive power in the opinion of Finish music lovers. He is al- so in his prime as a man and citizen and his neighbors had the very sound idea that 1t was better to show their appreciation while he is fully able to enjoy their testimonial of admiration and friendship than to wait for his old age.
 Sibelius was born in Tavastehus, December 8. 1865. He pursued musical studies in Helsingfors, Berlin, Vienna and other European centers. Recogni- tion came at an early age and has been continuous in his own country and abroad. He is a member of the Academy of Music of Stockholm. a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and has been the recipient of doctorates from Yale and Helsingfors universi- ties. In 1914 he visited the United States at the invitation of a well known music lover. His work has a wide range and he is still devoting himself to all the fields in which he has found recognition.

FAULTS OF ENGLISH
 EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Satisfaction With Mere Book knowI.
 edge and Inattention to Facts.

London, Jan. 31-Neglect of intel lectua1 things, satisfaction with mere book knowledge, inattention to facts. concentration on physical prowess. widespread ignorance of science rand consequent contempt for investigation and expert knowledge are the basic faults of the English educational sys- tenn, said Sir Oliver Lodge in his ad- dress before the annual conference of educational associations held in Lon don.
 War, he continued, had opened the eyes of the nation to certain perils been overlooked. War had now made apparent the ingorance of the govern ing classes. English education led to a widely diffused knowledge. Initia- tive was lacking, and only the personal character and courage of the men and women-of all classes had saved the country. The 9eople. as well as their leaders, were now learning from the enemy.
 Sir Oliver condemned the education al ideals of modern Germany as a heavy pedagogical grind and a soul less preparation for business, in which purely material objects had been ele- vated to the region of worship and sentiment. The old, delightful senti- mental Germany with its message to the soul of the human race, he said, had been slain. But this did not jus tify English failure to teach the ele- mental facts of science and to train students to make the best use of their brains.
 The speaker blamed the government for negiecting early in the war to make use of the experts in trade and manufacture who had been eager to offer their services. He put this fail ure to ignorance, rather than vicious ness. Experts were not called in. be- cause they were not trusted. Only gradually did the need for their ser vices loom up before those in charge

Says Rheumatics Should Not Drink Whisky
overheats the Blood and Increases inflammation in Joints and Museles.

Overheats the Blood and increases
 inflammation in Joints and Muscles.
 Don't drink whisky or any alcoholic beverages unless you want to increase the agony of rheumatism. Keep your feet dry, wear wooden underwear, and drink plenty of water; lemonade is better.
 This treatment helps, but if you real ly want to get rid of rheumatism with it's painful distress, twisted and swollen joints and perpetual agony, take one- half teaspoonful of Rheuma once day.
 Rheuma conquers rheumatism and sciatica; it is the enemy of both. For over five years throughout America 1t has been prescribed by broad-minde6 physicians and has released thousands from agony. pain and despair.
 Hundreds who thought they were crippled for life are now leading useful lives and helping to support the family. Lee G. Osgood Co. and druggists sell Rheuma for not more than 50 cents bottle, with the understanding that 1t will drive every particle of rheumatic poison from your system or money back.

SOUVENIR SETTLED IT..
Wrote to Washington. and Found That
 Any Old Buffalo Nickel is o. K.

:, Another myth has been exploded, that of the counterfeit Buffalo nickel. A story given considerable space in several newspapers circu- lating here was to the effect that the city and this part of New England was flooded with "Phony' nickels. and conductors and merchants were being st1ng for great amounts. How ever. a wise man could easily tell the difference between the good and bad nickels. The point of observation was the mound on which the noble bison took his stand on the face of the coin. On some coins this mound was rounded where the words five cents" were stamped and on others the stand was cut off, with the effect Of a straight line, and the five cents printed on the level ground. So it was easy to tell a bad coin. Either the one in which the buffalo was standing on the level was good and the other bad, or else the first was not on the level and the raised mound one not counterfeit This varied, according to the paper you read or the person with whom you were talking.
 There had been so much discus :, sion that Souvenir Taylor decided wrote the following letter to the United States treasury department:
 Enclosed please find two buffalo ntckels. Will you kindly informe me by the early mail if either one of them is counterfeit? Some say one is--sonne say the other. Hoping to receive prompt reply and the re.
