IA GOOD TIP FOR
RHEUMATICFOLKS
Vegetable Preparations Superseded b.
Mineral Compound Unearthed
Down in Mississippi.
CHEAP AS DIRT AND DRIVES OUT
"RHEUMATIZ.

Waking up mornings stiff and numb
with rheumatism won't let any man or
woman do much work and when the
pains get around the shoulders and
arms damp mornings you can't do any
thing at all Climate has g lot to do
with it but no use rubbing or waiting
and the discovery of Acid Iron Mineral
down in Mississippi gives most any
one chance to soon be free from
such troubles One man, Mr.. j. B..
Watkins, of Troutville, Va, writes:
Il suffered from rheumatism so bad
I hadn't been able to raise my arm
above my head and couldn't get my
coat off for a long time, and damp
sdays a dull throbbing pain in my
shoulder, especially at night drove me
crazy almost, but Acid Iron Mineral
was recommended and one little bottle
did the work for me and l want to
recommend it. I can now use my
arms and shoulders freely and even
damp chilly mornings I am not trou-
bled in the least It's use proved it's
merit and I'm for it all the time"
The big percentage of medicinal
iron in Acid Iron Mineral is of course
what gets results in such blood
troubles, and the compound is so
strong that half teaspoonful makes
a generous dose mixed in water after
meals. Everybody needs iron as a
blood tonic and purifier and eradica-
tor of uric acid there's nothing like
it. The big outstanding feature is that
IL doesn't injure the teeth, cost is but
little and it does the work quickly.
Most stores have it. For sale by
Howell's Pharmacy.

irg talent against one another in a
long spirited contest of spelling diff
cult words from the Blue Back SPELL

The spelling bee was characteristic
of the Elizabeth Mather school, where
stress is laid on youthful enthusiasm.
The girls are taught to be enthusiastic

new INDUSTRIAL ERA
AHEAD FOR IRELAND

DUBLIN, Feb. 20.-The develop
ment of aircraft factories and ship
yards in Ireland this spring is ex,
pected to open UP a new industrial
era in many sections of the country.
Lack of facilities for technical train
ing in the south of Ireland has been a
long standing problem which the new
yards and factories will help to solve
For the present, the business of air
plane manufacture will be carried on
in existing buildings that are being
placed at the disposal of the govern
ment, but as rapidly as possible new
factories of the most up to date type
will be erected. The development is
not intended to be merely of temporary
character.
Flight stations and training depots
which are being erected in various
parts of the island are permanent
structures, as it is believed that Ire
land from its geographical position,
will have an important share in the
post war commercial development OF
aviation 1t will be the gateway for
every attempt at trans Atlantic fight
attempts which are expected to be
| fostered and encouraged by the gov
ernments of both the United States
| and Great Britain.

divisions, resumed the attack on a
front Of about twelve miles. Their
attacks were launched with great OBJ

early in the morning.
In the course of the day they adj

ments against Beaudignies. In the

the Poix-Bousies line. South Of
Bousies cyclist troops prevented the
enemy from advancing further.
Southeast Of LIE Cateau several
enemy assaults broke down. Be

South of Catillon attacks against

Kitchener Betrayed
BY Russian Czarina,
War Worker Says
Commissioner Fl. w. Mapp
of Salvation Army Tells
Story of Treachery

The Czar;na of Russia, playing
traitor to her nation and its allies.
gave Germany the information which
led to the death of Kitchener. accord
ing to Commissioner Henry W Mapp,
of the Salvation Army, who made this
statement last night before the divs-
ion of pictorial publicity at the Salma-
gundi Club.
Commissioner Mapp asserted that a
private wire linked the Cars Winter
Palace with the Kaiser's home in Pots
dam. 1t was over this wire, he said,
that the Czarina sent the information
which led to the torpedoing of the
Hampshire and the death of Britain's
"organizer of victory"
The Czarna was the great force in
Russia" Mr.. Mapp said. "All informa-
tion that Russia received from the
Allies regarding their plans was imme-
dlately conveyed to her and she sent it
to Germany. The Kaiser controlled
Russia. The corruption, treachery and
intrigue in the Russian Court was ter
rible. Munition plants were blown up
at the instruction of the Germans and
unbelievable damage to the Allied
cause was effected through the treach :
cry of the former Empress. If the
revolution had not taken place, the
Germans would have been able to lead
the Allied cause to destruction. Bad
as the situation is now, it is not to be
compared with the conditions which
existed under Carbon. The downfall
OF the Cars regime was the greatest
possible advantage to the Allies
"The treachery of the former En-
press was directly responsible for the
death of Lord Kitchener" Mr.. Mapp
said. CAS- soon as the Czarina learned
that the British general planned to visit
Russia she informed the German au-
thorities by means of her private tele-
graph wire. The German government
then put their machines to work, and
as result the ship on which Lord
Kitchener sailed was sunk
Speaking before the Rotary Club at
the Hotel McAlpin in the afternoon,
Commissioner Mapp said that the Red
Guards are wantonly destroying all
forces opposed to them, end described
their almost annihilating attack on the
Womens Battalion Of Death. He said
he believed Germany had visualized
the dominion of the entire East. in
cluding Japan, by the establishment of
Teutonic government in Russia.

Germans Set Traps
And Burn Houses in
Champagne District
French Engineers Find
Homes Mined and Time
Bombs Ready

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
CHAMPAGNE, Oct. % (By The Associ-
ated Press)--Detachments of cngi-
neers from General Gouraud's army in
exploring the region from which the
Germans have been driven in this cor
'ol nave discovered in many villages
evidence of the method by which the
destruction of dwellings,, churches and
other public buildings was organized.
The region along the Retourne
abounds with indications of wilful dev
astation of villages that were never
wlth'n range OF artillery, but were
round ca2eu TO the ground In others,
wnere houses were still erect, they were
mined for slow destruction, while the
purely military installations, such as
barracks built by the Germans for their
own troops, were left intact
Orders for the burning of Juniville.
a large village in the valley of the
Retourne, arrived on the day Of evacu-
alton: The Germans had built com
1ortable quarters, with casinos, officers
clubs, moving picture theatres. hotels
and rest houses for the soldiers in
the village. The people pleaded with
tne o1hcers to spare their homes, but
the torch was put to every house.
Inc village was one vast brazier
when the French entered it. Mont St.
Kenny shared the same fate.
Chatelet. Alincourt, Bignicourt and
NlIie-sur- Retourne were partially saved
because the French troops pressed the
Germans there so closely that the sap
pcrs lett behind to do the work were
surprised. Some of these men fed be-
tore they could set off the mines which
mad been prepared. Others we're capt
ured.
1t has been necessary for French
sappers and miners to explore the
cellar of every house remaining intact
IN tins region. Under most Of them
mines have been found. Mouths Of
wells were so mined that explosions
would fill them with rock and earth.
At Aussonce mines were discovered
labelled to indicate the class of destruc-
ton for which they were prepared.
These mines were provided with glass
tubes confirming a corrosive liquid to
eat away the wire connection with the
mlne and cause its explosion within a
lapse of time indicated on each tube.
Some were marked for one hour. others
Tor two, twelve and twenty-four hours.
Some were marked for as high as
seventytwo hours
Preparations for the destruction of
these villages went on in the presence
Of the people and in spite of their
supplications. At Neuvile. where a
vlllager implored that his home might
be spared, an officer replied:
"i know it is an ignoble task but
such are our orders"
