ONLY POWERFUL
MEDICINE WILL END
RHEUMA TISM

It matters not whether you have had
agonizing pains from rheumatism for
90 years or distressing twitchings for
20 weeks, Rheuma is strong enough
and mighty and powerful enough to
drive rheumatic poisons from your
body and abolish all misery or money
back.
Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell
Rheuma on a no-cure-no pay basis
for not more than SO cents a bottle,
and after you take a half teaspoonful
once day for two days you should
know that at last you have obtained
a remedy that will conquer rheuma
tism.
For over i've years throughout
America Rheuma has been prescribed
by broad minded physicians and has
released thousands from agony, pain
and despair.

EDUCATION IN SAFETY.

When it is realized how many lives
are being snuffed out daily in the
streets of the big cities, when by the
exercise of proper care on the part of
all concerned it could be prevented, it
must be recognized that each and ev-
cry effort that is-made to change
these conditions is commendable.
Not a little benefit is bound to re-
suit from the movement which is now
underway in some of the cities of the
middle west where illustrated lectures
are being given to the school children
by public safety engineer for the
purpose of displaying the actual dan
gers which exist and pointing out the
part which each child can play in
preventing personal injury. 1t is an
educational move of large possibilities
and is being made realistic from the
fact that it is being presented in the
shape of moving pictures which show
all manner of dangerous situations
where the exercise of common vigil
lance would have rendered the risk
avoidable-
Some credit must be given to this
plan in the city of Chicago 1t was
not long ago that the average number
of children killed in the streets reached
so yearly, but following such cam
paign there have been periods of six
months when not a life was lost in such
L manner in spite of the increase in
children ana the number of vehicles
in the streets
This same increased attention to
dangers can be pointed out to chill
dren in other communities, for even
though the danger may not be as
great in smaller places, there are in
stances where it is, and none too much
efort can be made in calling atten-
ton to the need of everyone assum-
ing proper responsibility for his own
protection and safety.

January Weather.

Mr.. Editor: Allow me to thank Mrs.
G.. of VoIuntown for her letter ard
say to her, yes. l know who my critic
is and also know that she could not
have read my predictions or she would
never have made such terrible mis-
takes.
The Cloud Digger for December said
December Will be fine month. Hasn't
it been?
December will have three storm
periods. Wasn't that fact? De
cember will have little or no ice. Was
he right again? December viii have
only two days with Thermometer to
zero. There has been none, not much
of miss was it?
But enough of that. In "a years
have become so accustomed to seeing
my predictions come true that 1t is
second nature to know in advance that
the weather is to be-.
January. 1917, will be another fine
month That is. it will not be exceed
fngly cold; unless all signs fail there
will be considerable high wind. More
in fact than usual and owing to
planetary conditions | think most of
the storms will be rain storms. There
are five storm periods in January,

troops southwark. This step is taken
in@ the expectation that when such a
transfer has been made there will be
lifting of the blockade which is al
ready being felt by the Greeks.
But the removal of the pressure
which the entente powers have
brought to bear upon Greece does not
appear to be dependent upon such
change in the location of the
Greek troops for new note has been
prepared for that country by the EN-
tente which calls for the reduction of
all it's forces outside of Peloponnesus
so that only those required for pres
ervation of order and police duty will
remain. In addition it is demanded
that reservists meetings be restricted
and the allies given control. That
Venezelists who have been arrested
be released is insisted upon in the
way of PREPARATION. besides which the
dismissal of the commander of the
army corps and apology to the entente
ministers are called for.
The blockade having been estab-
lished the allies can he depended up
on to maintain it until they get such
from Greece as will be sat-
isfactory and knowing what the eff
fects of it are already there appears
to be little ground for the belief that
King Constantine can refuse full
He must realize that the
powers are making the most

STORIES OF THE WAR
Ambulance Driving On the Western



Front.
Writing from the front in France,
under date of November 26, 1916, to
Eliot Norton in New York, Philip
Mills tells this interesting story:
Dear Eliot:
of meeting you for some time 1 will
write you our newst
We have received the word of the
twenty anew men on the way out to
join The American Red Cross and as
we have the ambulances all ready for
them the new section under the COM
mand of our "Chief', your brother,
will be prepared to take over their
work with another French Army d.
vision as soon as the men arrive Eau
front"
I believe "the Chief is arranging
to have the three sections, Harjes
Section, Norton's Section, and the new
Section, do all the service for a sin
advantage as it will keep US close to-
gether and enable US to back each
other up in tight places. You see
these sections, Harjes' and Norton's,
have been in continual service almost
since the war started and the author
that we can handle our job and are
here to stick; but we need more men
and can promise every man who
comes out that he will be close enough
from imagining he is in America.
To-day we have been having rather
a lively time at all of our hospital
posts. OF course you know almost
every hospital at the front is within
range of enemy artillery, but you
would expect a hospital marked plain
ly all ever with Red Crosses would be
left alone-but, in this war, it seems
that a Red Cross is F'ritzies' pet tar
get.
He hoe hean 1ba1Isn1 Tho bos-ito
buildings all afternoon, and we have
been helping to move out the wound
ed to safe places. Poor fellows, it
seems as If they ought to get little
new trick Of little Heine's at all and
1t is one of his mildest pleasantries.
Some of our new men got their first
sensation of working under fire. The
Almighty is not altogether on the
Bosche's side fore he is certainly
taking care of ambulance drivers here
The weather is and has been vile
cold, of mean piercing quality, -
rain and mud all over everything.
Even the hard metaled roads are
inches deep in molasses- like mud, but
we are so well off in comparison to
the wonderful French soldiers that we
shouldn't mention any little discon1-
forts. I wish I could describe their
trenches.
To give you a picture of it, Imag-.
inc yourself out-of- doors in a colo
Boston winters night--in a mean
rain-and no waterproof; then get a
gun and stand in ice water and mud
up to your middle with the ever pres
ent prospect of a shell landing on you
and them only will you begin to get
the idea Pile few nights and days
of the same kind on top of one an
other and the picture will grow clear
er, but it doesn't seem to dampen the
French ardor, for every Poilu In the
Army knows they have the Hun beat
en- and it is only a question OF time
