Why Chilly Weather
Brings Rheumatism
Says skin pores are closed and
uric acid remains
In blood.

Rheumatism is no rc,pcytor of age
sex, color or rank II not the most
dangerous OF human Affections. 1t IS
ono OF the most painful Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, ab1yc
all drink lots OF pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood It is the iunc-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast It out in the
urine; the pores OF the skin are also
means Of freeing the blood OF this
impurity In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed, thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this ugic acid, which keeps
accumulatlng and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
Joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
Of Jad Salts put a tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by slim
ulating the kidneys TO normal action,

rites

Penrose's Career
Watched in China

|
In letter from Shanghai, China
40 the Bellefonte Keystone Gazette
Frank e. Bible, former editor OF
the Center Democrat, and now
teaching English in the Baptist-Col-
lege, Shanghai, says:
1T read with considerable inter-
est the Harrisburg Telegraph's quo
tation from the proceedings of the
Northampton Republican commit
tee, and it's tribute to Senator Pen
rose.
'I have watched Senator Pen
roses career from the time he first
entered political life, sometimes as
Democrat. sometimes as a Repub-
lican, and again as an utterly dis
interested and consequently fair OBJ
server. His career is interesting aside
from the broad statesmanship which
has characterized it, in the fact
that he has been the best damned
man in Pennsylvania since Senator
Quay's time, and in all his thirty
three years OF E,::tical life, the only
charge made by his enemies both in
and out of his party, that ever stuck
was that of Boss which is but a
vulgar substitute for leader.
You would be surprised to know
that away out here twelve or thir-
| teen thousand miles from his home,
the Senator is known to some as
Boss PenroSe, and with real good
people a boss is just short of the
Devil, lacking horns, hoofs and a
tail. Several times ! have had occa-
sion to set people right on the Sena-
tor by reviewing his record, and
have gotten a frank admission from
my auditors of their utter ignorance
of the man and his work. Their
misinformation is, of course, deriv-
| ed from your own vile profession.
remember just before leaving
home, when the question of the cleo
| ton of senator's by popular vote was
being discussed, q remark by a
prominent independent Republican
| of Philadelphia in a mixed political
company, that if it came to a popu-
lar election, Boise Penrose would be
swamped in Pennsylvania to the
tune of at least three hundred thou

Editors Hear Northcliffe

London.-Entertain a party of
American editors at luncheon at the
Times offices, Lord Northcliffe, toast
ing the American visitors, said:
I'm America last year we won-
dered at the, strange phenomenon of
the rising young men of that ma
ton, many resident a thousand miles
from the sea, being drawn by some
mysterious instinct to leave their
prosperous careers to come across
the Atlantic. Their crusade was
one of the great miracles of the
world.
"Public opinion had become unan-
imous in America, not because they
had anything to get out of the war,
but because of the overwhelming
instinct to rise to the cause of JUS
tice."
1--WE never use the word for
eigner' in regard to Americans in
this country" Lord Northcliffe
added. I'VE regard you as our
selves"
DIR. Edward J. Wheeler of New
York replied to the toast, and F. p.

Der of a second party of editors, de-
scribing his voyage across the At

THE PEOPLES FORUM

coins speeches in which he reprov-
ed the white ave-owners, who held
they might justly enslave negroes
because their own was the fairer
race. Lincoln warned that, by the
same token, each one of them might
be justly enslaved the moment he
met someone fairer than himself.
Now, we are told that the Germans,
in respect to color. are the white
race par excellence, being direct de-
scendentS of the Aryans. who came
from Asia into Europe during the
early migratory period. But is not
every red-blooded white man in
America to-day in arms against
German aggression and dominatio!f?
Superiority is something hard to
establish. A man shows his super
iority over another by his good
deeds and not by constantly remind
ing. him of his inferiority. Our So
called race problems are merely the
problems caused by our own anti
pathies. Unless Dickinson puts an
unusually high appraisal upon mon
etary values, unless she wants to en-
phasize gain rather than service,
she does not have to suffer empar-
rassment at the hands of her South
ern students. A democratic or cos
mopolitan school seldom wants for
students or for funds. Therefore, IT
would be advantageous for her 10
reject Southern patronage unless she
felt sure that the Southerners could
| be nodded into progressive COD
fearing type of citizenship.
Southerners are pouring into Har-
ward in increasingly large numbers
but they have not in the least dis
| turbed the staid policy of this in
| stitution. In Harvard "a mans
man for that, irrespective OF ms
race, color, or creed. All have equa
opportunities to learn together. Ii
| fact, Harvard men live together. ant
thereby learn to know each othel
in a way impossible under any othel
circumstances. The Southerner ap
pears very awkward at first, bu
soon adjusts himself to the demo
cratic conditions imposed upon him
and to his own surprise become
a mixer. Some of the most ar
dent admirers that the colored stu
dents at Harvard have. are found
among the white students who CONF
from the heart of the BLACK Belt
Now, why are these conditions posi-
lble? Because Harvard believes tina
our blood is one with humanity s
She would not lower her standard
or ideals for anyone. Every stu
dent must toe the mark or get out.
In conclusion, let me reiterate tha
race prejudice is largely the resul
of persistent ignorance. 1t thrive
as long as there is no means o
intellectual intercourse between race
and no common religion. But mod
ern civilization has made both o
these things possible. and 1t is quit
essential that we keep these chan
nels of communication free and un
obstructed. For, after all, there
no race" problems, there is onl
human problem. And its answe
is in the working out of love 70

A PRINCE OF DEVILS

WYE are hearing a lot at this
wv time of the new day. in
" Germany, of the "liberalizing''
of the German government. and a
lot of twaddle of the kind designed
to lead gullible souls to the belief
that the people of that benighted
country are at last coming into their
own and taking over the ruling
power so long held by the Hohen-
zollerns and their ilk.
But the Reichstag is still the same
old talkative. helpless Reichstag
which a few months before the
Kaiser annexed the Russian prov
inces passed its famous resolution
for peace without annexations or
indemnities." It is the same old
Reichstag that was designed by Bis
marck as a debating society in which
representatives of the people-but
not all the people, equally and alike
might talk their heads off, while
the power for action, change or re-
form remained solely in the hands
of the Kaiser. 1t is still a talking
machine-and that is about all.
1t has no power over the Kaiser
or his cabinet. The German min
listers laugh in the face of the Reich
stag and the Reichstag in return
can only rage impotently. The min
isters-who constitute the govern
ment-are responsible only to the
Kaiser who appoints them and re-
moves them. Thus the whole gov
ernment of Germany resolves around
the Kaiser and is the creature of
his whims and policieS
Let nobody be deceived. The
Kaiser is still boss. He is still the
power with which we must deal in
Germany, and his is the power of
hell. We are dealing with a Prince
of Devils and his cunning is sur
passed only by his cruelty. He is
trying to fool US that he may de-
stroy us.

GET RID OF KITCHIN!
By Briggs
[From the New York Sun. ]

lFrom the New YORK sun
The last man in Congress who
ever ought to have been chairman
of the ways and means committee
of the House of Representatives is
Claude Kitchin. In time of peace,
to place at the head of that COM
mittee. SO deeply and powerfully in
volved in the Industrial lot of the
American people, a man of such
limited intelligence, of such econo-
mic ignorance, was folly and mis-
chief.
With a Republican House, Presi-
dent Wilson should still have the
votes to support his conduct of the
war. and they would be intelligent
votes. They would be sound votes.
They would be competent votes.
But when the American voters
had overturned the Democratic ma
Jority In the. House, which created
Kitchin, the prime revenue for the
country, and which remains re-
sponsible for him, then, as chair
man of the ways and means COM
mittee, as figure of national promi-
nence, as a member of Congress
in the very least degree noticeable,
Kitchin would disappear as COM
pletely as If dropped through a
trapdoor into the cellar of the Capt.
tol.
Get rid of Kitchin!

NONE TO SAVE

~ONGRESS might be better en-
gagged than in debating a con-
tinuation of the daylight saw
ing" law during the winter months.
The advantages of such a decision
would be doubtful, indeed. If the
clock is permitted to stand as it
is, one hour ahead of the sun, dur
ing the short days of the year sun
UP will come somewhere along
about $50 in the morning, instead
of 7.30, or thereabouts. Thus. even
for store employees who go to work
now at o'clock instead of s. break
fast would be eaten by artificial
light, while little if any gas, oil or
electricity would be saved at the
other end of the day. One can't
save daylight either morning or
evening if there is none to be saved.
1t is easy enough to get up an
hour early in the good old sum-
mer time" but, as Harry Lauder has
put it
when the snow is snowin,
And it's murky overhead,
Oh, it's nice to get up in the mornin'
But it's nicer to lie in your bed"
The law is good as it stands. II
shouldn't be spoiled by OVERRIDING
its benefits.
