Scoffers and Doubters
Why Let Prejudice Bind You to Life
of Rheumatic Torture?

Be fair to yourself, you sufferer from
rheumatism, no matter what form. Go to
Il. A. Drown & Co. or any good druggist
any get a package of Rheuma, the guar
anteed prescription. Use the entire bot
tie, and if you don't think it has given
you quick and sure relief, say so, and
you can have your money back.
Isn't that fair offer? Can you see
any deceit or red tape about it What
chance do you take? Absolutely none.
Then get bottle of Rheuma to-day.
It's a reputable physicians prescription,
altogether different from remedies usual
ly prescribed, free from narcotics, and
perfectly harmless. Rheuma acts on the
kidneys and helps to force the uric acid
from the swollen joints and other lodg
ing places. 1t pleases you in a day; it
makes you hopeful and happy in week,
It has released from bondage rheumatic
sufferers who thought nothing would
give relief. 1t should do as much for
you-it seldom fails.
Don't miss this money back offer. A
large bottle, sufficient for two weeks
treatment, is inexpensive.-Ad

record upon the films of the experiences
of James w. Gerard, ambassador of the
United States at Berlin, through the first
years of the war as he has himself put

SERVICE MEN MAY
NOT PLAY IN LOCAL
BANDS HEREAFTER

It is probable that musicians from
the Naval Air Station or the forts here
will play at dances in the future, I'M
less there should be a dearth of must
clans here at the time. Orders have
already been issued at Fort Barrancas
which will probably stop service men
from playing in the city, unless a call
Is sent to the commanding officer for
musical help.
There are a good number OF must
clans here who are now organized into
a union local, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. While
no formal protest was made on behalf
Of the local. the concensus Of opinion
among these men was that Pensacola
musicians should be given first chance
at such work and the service men
called in case of emergency only. This
also concurs with an act of congress
relating to employment of service
men, and apparently has met with the
approval Of commanding officers here.

Paris, Dec. 27.-Alsace-Lorra
does not consider vote necessary to
determine II the provinces shall be re-
stored to France. Not if the resolu-
ton here quoted is the sentiment Of
the people. It was adopted by the
national assembly. It was further
supported by the voice of the presi-
dent Of the assembly, who said:
"A referendum would be now IRA
tional It has just been made by the
whole Of the Alsation people in the
course of past events.
The resolution Of adherence to
France says:
1.-THE deputies Of Alsace and Lor-
raine issued from universal suffrage
and constituted into a national as
sembly joyfully acclaim the return Of
Alsace-Lorraine to France after
long and cruel separation. Our prov
inces will be proud to owe to the re-
covered mother country, together with
the safeguard of their traditions, their
religious beliefs and their economical
interests, new era Of liberty, pros
perity and happiness.
1.-THE national assembly does not
wish that any doubt should continue
to exist either in France, in the al
lied countries, in the neutral coun-
tries or in the enemy ones, as to the
real feelings Of Alsations and Lor-
rainers. The assembly states that the
neutralist agitation is the work either
of a very small minority or of German
agents and solemnly declares that as
the exact interpreter of the constant
and irreducible will OF the population
of Alsace and Lorraine already ex-
pressed in 1871 by her representatives
at the assembly Of Bordeaux and it
considers the Alsations and Lorrain-
ers right to remain members Of the
French family to be forever inviolable
and imprescriptible."
