Take Every Advantage Of This Re-

Fighting disease is the most import

cause we are all subject to its attack.
One of the most common foes is
Rheumatism, which attacks with re-
lentless violence. and often leaves its
victim entirely helpless. Rheumatism
is often successful against its VIC
tim because the wrong ammunition
IS used against it.
Too many people make the mistake
of treating only the symptoms and
entirely overlooking its source. They
are so anxious to find relief from its
torturing pains that they expect local
applications of lniments and lotions
to accomplish what is impossible.
Rheumatism Is caused by millions OF

QUAKERS BUMPED
BY WITTENBERC
IN SLOW GAME
Earlham Shows Little Pep
In Game With Lutherans !;
Burdett Stars.

Earlham's prestige on the football
field, which has risen somewhat this
season, through hard work on the
part of Coach Lewis and the squad,
received a serious setback last Satur-
day when Wittenburgs without any de-
cided advantage, tossed the Quakers
back with II to 0 score.
Listlessness on the part of the
Quaker backfield was In the main re-
sponsible for the Quaker defeat, and
the usually weak line was more than
able to hold its own. The Quaker
backs were able to hold their own on
offensive for the greater part of the
game, but their work on defense was
miserable, and with any kind Of de-
fensive play on the part Of the Earl
ham backfield men. Wittenburg could
not have made any more than three
points.
Wittenberg's best bet was Burdett,
their speedy quarterback. In the first
quarter, Burdett upset the Earlham-
ties by running through the entire
Quaker squad for 70 yards and a
touchdown. Although this was clev-
er bit of work on the part Of Burdett,
it was mainly due to the "cigar-store
Indian" tactics of the Quaker backs.
Earlham's defeat may be accounted
for to a certain extent to the abb
sence of Jessup and H. Mills, both of
whom were out on account of injur-
les, but even though these men had
been in the game 1t is doubtful wheth-
er they would be able to overcome the
loose playing of other members Of the
squad.

SOLDIERS HEALTH
DEPENDS ON PUBLIC
Civil Population Can Do Much to
Keep Down Diseases.

The vital importance of the health
of the civil population of the coun-
try to that of the million or more
of American soldiers was pointed out
by Surgeon General Gorgas speak
ing before the American Public Health
Conference last night.
We will ultimately have a large
part of that force under arms in
various parts of the country he said.
Epidemics generally strike troops
from the surrounding civil popula-
tion, General Gorgas said. although
there have been examples of the con-
trary.
Our danger in Europe will be
from the same source.
While the health of our civil popu-
lation Is very important, especially
to troops in their midst, in peace,
this factor becomes increasingly i'm
portant in war.
THE American navy hygienically
stands higher than any other navy
in the world" declared Surgeon Gem
eral Braisted, of the United States
Navy.
Our ship hygiene is as perfect as
1t can be made. In every detail we
have perfected our health pi-cau-
tions so that they stand as high as
our knowledge can make them.
I'm no other navy have we found
which is better than in our
own. or which we can adopt with
profit for our navy"

HOLLAND WOULD GIVE
SUGAR FOR SUPPLIES
Hopes to Tighten Embargo Against
Her, by Recent offer.

Pressing every advantage to tighten
the United States embargo against
her. Holland yesterday offered the
United states many million tons OF
sugar owned by the Dutch in New
york. and held in various Dutch colo
mes The. offer was made as soon as
heroert Hoover took official cogni-
zanee OF the sugar shortage in this
country and on the same day that the
war Trade Board announced that ex-
port licenses will be required for every
Shipment of sugar of this country.
1t followed Immediately on the heels
OF an offer of Dutch shipping for use
In allied trade so long as the vessels
are kept out OF the war zone. This
oner rendered a certain number of
ships to be used in the coastwise trade
OF the United States. and even per-
mitting them to be u8ed in the Pacific
to carry Russian war suppIies 10
Vladivostock.
The consideration attached to each
oner' however. was the release of sup-
plles from the. United States for HoI-
land. 1t can be stated authorita lively
that the offers will not be accented
until the War Trade Board and Her
bert Hoover are satisfied that Dutch
supplies will not leak into Germany. j

BUELOW in Berlin;
MICHAELIS TO FALL
New Reports of Rupture Come from
German Capital.

Amsterdam. Oct. Is. Germany's
shrewtest and m"s: popular diplomat,
former Chancellor Prince Won Buelow.
has suddenly returned to Berlin after
three years of almost uninterrupted
stay in Switzerland. Immediately upon
his arrival in the capital German po-
litical circles hit upon the guess that
the prince is to be on hand when Dr.
Michaelis falls. as fall he must if the
present general hostility to him is
maintained.
That 1t grows stronger dali, vas
again shown at yesterdays session OF
The Socialist congress at Wuerzbers.
Although the party refused by a vote
OF Isl against IS to pledge itself un-
qualiiedly to defeat the war credits
at the December sitting of the Reich
stag. every speaker emphasized that
Michaelis must go. The party showed
in the demand for a gov
ernmental declaration of the surrender
of Belgir l, but was equally united in
opposing any concessions in Alsace-
Lorraine.
The majority and minority wings
still seem hopelessly split despite ar
dent efforts TO bring about a conciIia-

ROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
Wilson Asked to Suspend
Railway Valuation Until

That the railroads of the country
went straight to President Wilson and
asked him TO suspend the valuation
proceedings by the Interstate Com
merce Commission was asserted YES
terGay to the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Railway and
Utility Commissioners.
The statement was made in the re-
port of the committee on valuation.
For some time the commission has
been undertaking the herculean task
of Taluing the roads, perhaps with
an eventual end to government own
ership.
In the report II is stated that the
carriers have made strenuous efforts"
10 stop the valuation during the war
period. The report says that several
means have been suggested TO ac-
complish this object-starving the
commission by preventing an cppro-
priation. a direct repeal of the law
and finally, it is understood. a per-
sonal appeal to the President as COM
mander-in-chief of the army and
navy to exercise his powers or in
huence to secure a suspension of the
appraisal during the progress of the
war"
Chairman for Valuation.
Ihe committee on valuation,
through it's chairman, Charles +,
Elmquist, of Minnesota, violently
opposed stopping the valuation.
The report says:
Ihe committee is of the opinion
that every reason which was ever
urged as warranting the enactment
Oh the law applies today with the
same or greater force; that there
are additional reasons which now
exist for the valuation that did NOT
exist when Congress passed the law,
such as the apparent imminence of
government ownership as live
ISSUE the actual taking over of GER
tam roads for war purposes and the
questions of compensation and re-
turn which will grow out OF the
priority of shipments act and out of
the new revenue system of the
country"
