CHINA'S STAND LAID
TO FEAR OF JAPANESE

Information reached the State Deps n
ment late yesterday that Chins's sudden
turning against Germany is sctuated
wholly by desire TO protect itself
against Japan. Both the Chinese govern
ment and the people naturally sy-mpathize
with the German cause, according TO this
information. but as a matter OF expedi-
ency il Is the desire of the Statesmen OF
the empire TO align their country with the
entente.
This would protect China from Jana
nese aggression now and would also give
China an opportunity TO protect itself
from Nippon after the war is over.

THE PANGS OF
RHEUMATISM

one who has had the slightest expert.
ence with rheumatism will continue to
suffer and grow worse until they are
finally practically helpless, unless
they realize that the disease must be
combatted at its source. Rheumatism
is a diseased condition of the blood,
the disease attacks the body through
the blood. hence the system can be rid
of its pains only after the blood has
been cleansed of the germ, of the
disease.
Lotions. liniments and ointments,
applied to the surface may in some
cases deaden the pain for the time
beng, but until you attack the disease
at its foundation. you are making no
progress toward a cure. and you are
permitting the trouble to get a 6rmer
hold on your system every day. This
is one reason why Rheumatism is
usually permanent disease. staying
with its victims year after year. Get
ting nd OF the disease is merely a mat
ter of treating it intelisently. Know
ing that it cannot be cured by external
applications. it is folly to rely upon
such treatment.
S. S. S. is without question the
most thorough blood medicine ever
made. and it promptly cleanses the
blood of every trace of impurity or
disease germs. That is why it never
fails to give satisfactory results in
even the severest cases of Rheuma-
hsm. Being purely vegetable without
a particle of mineral or chemical in
its composition. it works by eliminating
and forcing out of the blood all i'm

Say, If Rented Hen Hatches,
Why, Who Owns Chickens =?

New York, Feb. 14-Renting a hen may
be a good way to keep down the high
cost of eggs. but the lay of the last
minstrel is no more pathetic than the
last lay of the hen-when one is paying
90 cents a month for the fowl.
Any way, this is what John Byrnes, of
MilItown, n. J., thinks, and he started
suit yesterday at New Brunswick against
Justice of the Peace Joseph Headley for
false representation.
Headley rented hen to Byrnes foi
go cents a month. She laid two or three
eggs and then stopped. At the same
time she discovered a nest Of twelve
eggs which she Matched into chickens.
But her maternal activities interfered
with her egg laying duties, and Byrnes
claims Headley knew his hen was about
at the end of her productivity.
Another vexing question is, who owns
the chickens?

You who are afflicted with this

Rheumatism cannot be rubbed away

cannot be wiped out as if by magic.
A disease that is so full of torture and
finally renders its victims so helpless,
is a deep-seated one; it is not on the
surface, hence it cannot be reached by
external. surface remedies. This is
no theory. for your own experience
doubtless has shown you that you can
never expect to rid yourself of the
disease in this way.
For the chances are that you, like
thousands of other sufferers, have been

the clash of will and the strength of
love are the predominating elements will:
be offered to local playgoers when Rich
ard Walton Tully presents Guy Bates
Post in his new play "The Masquerader"
at the Belasco Theater commencing next
Monday night.
One of the fascinating elements which
makes for the power of this play is the
strength of the weakness of one mar.
which developes through his love of
morphine. 1t is a strength which Is ap-
palling in its power and Mr.. Post Is able
to visualize 1t perfectly. On the one
hand he displayes with equal force the
strength of the man who is well balancee
and ambitious and the man who respects
himself and the duty he owes the world
he lives in.
To this man comes love in its strength
and beauty and again the contrast shows
what genuine happiness can come
through a recognition of its ascendancy.
