Sufferers Should Realize That It Is a Blood Infection and Can Be Permanently Re- lieved. Don't Suffer This Winter.

Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric acid poison.
 It does not require medical advice to know that good health is absolutely dependent upon pure blood. When the muscles and joints become sore and drawn with rheumatism, it is not a wise thing to take a little salve and by rubbing it on the sore spot. expect to get rid of your rheumatics. Yor

"The Crisis',-Riiau

The Crisis with full operatic score and martial effects, will be flashed for the first time before a local audience at the BiJou, on Sunday afternoon, starting a weeks engagement, with two perform ances daily, 2:50 and S:30 o'clock.
 ''The Crisis is an elaborate photoplay. following closely the story told in Win ston Churchills famous novel, and pre- sented with full orchestra and elaborate sound effects. It has been the aim of William N. Selig, the producer, to em- phasize the romance of the civil war, rather than it's cruel horrors, and to present the political aspects in a fair. broad and impartial spirit, vigorously. but without offense to either north or south.
 The love story is told fully in the rich, romantic vein that has rendered Church. ill's novel a welcome relief from the in delicate sex fiction of the day. and it's thread runs through the entire length of the photo drama.
 Advantage is taken of the fact by MT Selig to work in a broad picturesque background of history. The Lincoln Douglas debate and the political cam paign of the eos are vividly reproduced, The bombardment of Fort Sumter follows directly on the ascension of Lincoln to the presidency and the country rushes to arms.

WIDOW ASKS$lO,OOO
FOR OFFICERS DEATH

A suit asking for $4,000 for the
death of her husband, the late patrol!
man, Albert DemOrtiers, was filed in
the Common Pleas Court yesterday af-
ternoon by Attorney Albert NJ. Sprad-
ling for Mrs. Loues Demortiers, widow
of the slain policeman, who was shot
and killed last Saturday night while
standing on the corner of Broadway
and Middle street.
In her petition Mrs. Demortiers al
leges she was solely dependent>upcn
the support of her husband and thar
by his death she was deprived of oil
means Of support. The petition states
that the policeman was "wrongfully,
maliciously, unlawfully and wilfully
killed by Parmenter with a revolver
with leaden bullets"
The suit is the first filed by Sprad
ling and Oscar A. Knehans who have
formed partnership.
Judge Edward D. Hays and n. A.
Motley, two of the most prominent at
torneys of Southeast Missouri, have
been employed to defend Parmenter
The preliminary trial will be held next
Saturday.
1t is understood that Mr.. SPREADING
will assist Prosecuting Attorney Caru
theirs in the prosecution. Mr.. SpraG-
ling said yesterday it was not def
nitely decided whether he would aid
in the prosecution or not but had been
requested to do so.
Nothing new has been found by the
police or the prosecuting attorney that
would strengthen the evidence against
Parmenter who is being held in The
county Jail. He still maintains his
silence regarding the killing of the Of
ficer. A score of witnesses will b.
present at the preliminary hearing
Saturday morning.
SO far the police have been unable
to find only one eye witness, namely
Miss Sylvia Mantiz, who lives CT
Broadway over the store of the Tay-
lor, Masterson G. Crimson Hardware
Co. She says she can identify the
man whom she saw firing the second
shot at the officer if confronted with
the man. The description she has
given of this man tallies with that Of
Parmenter.

DISEASE
IS FATAL

Kidneco Is a Wonderful Protection
When disease gets into the kidneys
it is just as certain to take person
off as leprosy, unless it is checked
before it goes too far. If people just
knew the danger that lurked in dis
eases of these delicate organs they
would be as careful of them as They
are of their eyes. People who have
sound kidneys should know how to
protect and take care of them. Kid
neco is a sure remedy for treating
kidney diseases because it removes
the poisons that collect in the blood
through the inactive kidneys.
Just go to any drug store and get
about dozen Kidneeo Tablets. They
are inexpensive and will relieve your
kidney trouble quickly. Mailed by
the kidneco Co., Boston, Mass.

SUPERVISES FLYING
AT KELLY FIELD, TEX.
Ralph G. Ranney is Also Making
Good-May Go to West
Point.

Mai. Pat Frissell who has been
placed in charge of the flying at Kel-
ly Field, San Antonio, Tex, the
largest aviation grounds maintained
by the War Department, last week
made a flight of 500 miles in five

Waco, Dallas, Camp Leon and Austin
before returning to his base. He made
this unusual flight without alighting,
according to A. r. Ponder who wit
witnessed the exhibition. He made the
trip in a war plane.
Mai. Frissell has displayed unusual
ability and skill in aviation and is now
considered one of the most capable
men in the aero service. Kelly Field

there, hut the number now in train
ing at that poin tbs not known. 1t is
understood to be the largest field in
the United States. Each branch of the
flying game is in charge of an Off
Ger and Mai. Frissell had been as
signed to the flying.
During the hot summer days he
would ascend above the clouds and
"rccls" for hours in the pleasant at
mosphere. Rocking" in the parlance
of aviators, means to keep the ma
chine stationary.
A. r. Ponder, the railroad man, al
so stated that Ralph G. Ranney, con

ing good in the aero service. He IS
attached to the Forty-ninth Aero

ments ard it is expected that he will
