Because it was charged that there is graft in the
Urgent deficiency bill which carries appropriation
of over three billions of dollars, the House yesterday
sent the measure back to the conference committee
This is delay that does the House credit and the public
should be careful to avoid confusing it with the hes
tation which took place in that body at the beginning
of the special session In the hurry to put the nation
on war footing there will be many opportunities for
crooks to fleece the public. 1t is the legitimate tunc
ton of the House to guard against this as much as pos
sible No thief is more contemplate than the one who
will steal from the government at time like the pres

which it will be possible to put in play the House Will
not be able to plory all of them.

indemnity.

Guess how big an indemnity the
Kaiser will collect from you and
me, England and France II he wins

1t has already cost him more
than twenty times what his grand
father paid out in the Franco.Prus-
sian war. On that basis we are al
ready sure of twenty billions OF
indemnity.
Americas share would be at
least a third, or, cutting of all
trifles like millions, would mean
today $6,0OO,O00,OoO.

RHEUMATISM IS A
WEATHER PROPHET
More Prevalent Than for Many Years
Sudden Changes Of Tempera-
ture an Immediate Cause.

When rheumatism fastens on an midi
vidual, he generally knows what the trou-
bic IS. The Inflammation soreness, pain,
swelling joints and backache with loss of
appetite, plainly indicate rheumatism.
Physicians differ as to the disease, but all
agree that rheumatism is caused by poison
getting into the system. Cold and mois-
ture, with sudden changes of temperature,
cause aggravated attacks and intense suf-
fering. The first twinge of pain or stiff
ness of muscles demands quick action.
Don't suffer a minute; get from Wilfred
I. Root or any druggist bottle of Rheu-
ma. It's a great specialists prescription
which gives relief in all forms of rheuma-
tism. 1t brings swollen joints down to
normal. reduces the pain. and restores the
whole system without the least injury to
the heart. This two weeks treatment is
inexpensive and your money viii be re
turned if YOU do not get the joyful relief
anticipated.
