COnQuGrS Rheumatism
 In a Very Few Days

It is an established fact that a small dose of Rheuma taken once day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crippled and despairing rheumatics during the last seven years.
 Powerful yet harmless quick acting, and inexpensive, Rheuma gives bless ed relief almost at once. The magic name has reached nearly every ham let in the land and there is hardly a druggist anywhere who cannot tell you of almost marvellous cures.
 If you are tortured with rheuma- tism or sciatica, you can get Rheuma from Hartigan's Drug Stores or any druggist, with the understanding that if it does not completely drive rheu- matfc poisons from your system money back.-Adv.

 RESTLESS OVER NATIONS STAND
German Espionage System In Vogue Has Been Open
 ly Exposed There.

Barcelona, Spain, July Signs of the Spanish press of uneasiness as to what the verdict of history may be on Spain's attitude during the war. The indications are that events slowly are bringing home to the average Spaniard a sense of doubt as to whether his country's interests would not have been better served by a neutrality frankly friendly to the Allies.
 The machinations of the German espionage system have in several in- stances been glaringly exposed. One of the Madrid daily newspapers, al- though 1t has several times been SUD- pressed by the military censorship, has succeeded in bringing to light ac- tivities by the German embassy in connection with the labor troubles in Spain last year, while within the last few weeks one of the chiefs of the Barcelona police was accused of be- ing in league with the German con- sulate spy bureau for the purpose of assisting submarines along the coast The case is in the hands of the ju- dicial authorities.

 EAGER TO FIGHT

Italian Army Headquarters, Sum-
 day, July '7-(By the Associated
 Press)--The Italian commandant un-
 der whose direction the American
 fliers are working on the Italian
 front has only one fault to find with
 them. They never want to renal"
 on the ground. Regardless of the weather, the fierceness of the barrage
 or the vigilant enemy chasers they
 want to be after the enemy in the air.
 The exploits which brought five of the american airmen decorations cannot yet be published, but the value of their services may be judg- ed from the fact that King Victor
 Emmanuel travelled to the section held by the Americans to make the presentation personally.
 Recently Lieut.. Alexander O. Craig
 of New York, while flying over Aus trian territory, was attacked by a
 chaser plane. He shot the attacker dead and sent his plane to the ground in flames. On his way back over the Austrian lines after a deep raid into enemy territory the plane of Lieut.. Harry L: Holtz of Busby, Idaho. was struck by a burst of shrapne from anti-aircraft guns. The damage was repaired in midair, Lieut.. Holtz directing the hazardous undertaking l of his mechanic.
