ut is an awful thing to lie in bed
for hours at night and have your
whole body racked with pain"
The above statement was made to
the Tanlac representative by Mrs.
G. Goodfellow, who lives at 221S
Grace Street, Omaha.
~ had rheumatism all over my
body she continued, but it seemed
to be worse in my feet and legs and
shoulders. Unless you have had
rheumatism, it is utterly impossible
for you to imagine the terrible pains
l endured. For hours and hours
would lie awake at night suffering,
and at times l could not turn over
in bed.
Nothing I did seemed to help me
i tried many different treat
ments, but kept on going down hill
all the time. The climax came, the
rheumatism got so bad that / had to
use braces on my legs in order to
walk any at all, and as the disease
seemed to be getting worse in my
shoulders all the time, I just gave
up all hope of ever being we'll again.
cat this time, a great deal was
being said in the papers ABOUT
Tanlac. A good many people whom
I knew were all right, and whose
word could be relied on were tell
ing what wonderful things Tanlac
had done for them, so made up my
mind to give it a trial-And let me
say right here, that was the wiset
decision I ever made in my life.
After I had taken about half of the
second bottle / bought, I began to
feel better and noticed that those
awful pains were growing less every
day. picked up rapidly and could
move around much better. !

continued to improve, until now I've
thrown away the braces and can
step around as lively as ever. My
shoulders have improved wonder
fully, and I can 60 to bed now and
sleep like baby all night long and
get up in the morning telling rested
and refreshed, and ready to attend
to all my household duties. l give

Newspapers Glad President is

London, Dec. 4.-President Will
sons address to the American con-
gress is cordinally commented upon
by this mornings newspapers,
which couple their commentator
with the reiteration of sentiments
Of hearty satisfaction that he is to
attend the peace conference. They
declare the president will find the
entente statesmen thoroughly i in
concurrence with his ideaiism and
devotion to international justice.
There is manifest strain OF anx-
iety in the editorials, although from
different angles in various utter
ances, with regard to reconciling
the presidents principles as embod-
led in his IA points with the aspira-
tons of the allies. The Morning
Post insists upon the Importance of
the exact relation of the IA points

the points were accepted too hastily
by the allied governments. 1t re-

"who are the statesmen who are

IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER.
Eat less meat and tSke a glass
of Salts to flush out Kidneys
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish, ache, and feel like
Jumps of lead. The urine becomes
cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and
you may be obliged to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must
help them flush off the body's urin-
GUS waste or you'll be real sick
person shortly. A. first you feel
dull misery in the kidney region,
you suffer from-backache, dizziness,
stomach gets sour, tongue coated
and you feel rheumatic twinges
when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots OF water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has. been used for
generations to clean clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity, also to neutralize the acids
in urine, so it no longer is a source
of irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active.
Druggists here say they sell lots Of
Jad Salts to folks who believe in
overcoming kidnay trouble while it
is only trouble.

II the determination of the Germans
aot to be Jared out of their as

shown in every village into which
The Americans marched today. The
long lines of khaki-clad troops re-
sumed their movement toward the
Rhine at daybreak, passing through
dozens of villages until another II
miles had been covered.
Farmers in the fields and resi-
dents in the villages and towns
glanced at the troops and went on
with their work. Here and there
Germans stared for time curiously,
but rarely was there a display of
emotion or even of keen interest.
With the exception of triflfng acts

Of hostility reported. In ANEW in

Doctor Groom smiled. The cor

Il suggest, Mr.. District Attorney"
he squeaked, that the ordinary
layman wouldn't know that this type
of wound would cause immediate
death"
Nor would any man" the doctor
answered angriiy, 'be able to make
such wound with his victim lying
on his back"
"On his back" Robinson echoed.
"But he isn't on his back"
The doctor told Of the amazing
alteration in the positions of both
victims. Bobby regretted with all
his heart that he had made the at
temp to getthe evidence. Already
compile frankness was impossible
for him. Already a feeling of guilt
sprang from the necessity of with
holding the frst-hand testimony
which he alone could give.

said, bewildered. "All this sounds

Robinson's laugh was little un-
comfortable.
"The Cedars is nice place for
spooks, but it won't do. I'll be
frank. Howells telephoned me. He
had found plenty of evidence of
human interference. It'sevident in

his unlawful hand. Yet if he spoke
he would pxove the district attor-
ney's point He would condemn HIM

Curious" Graham said slowly,
chat the murderer didn't take the
evidence when he killed his man."
II don't know about that" Robin
son said, "but i know Howeils had

a look, although it's little use"
He walked to the bed and searched
Howell's pockets.
"Just as I thought. Nothing. He

MAPLE PRODUCTS FAVORED.
Denial That Government Intends to
Take Over Sugar Produced by Yer

AT the Office of Acting Food Admin
istrator for Vermont j. T. Cushing, it
IS said that news had been received
that a rumor was circulating in
the state to the effect that the
government intended to take over prac
tically all of this year s output of ma.
pie sugar. Mr.. Cushing asked head
quarters in Washington for a denial of
this story, which mi ht have a harm
full effect on production were it true,
and received reply to the effect that
"there is no foundation whatever to
the story being circulated with refer.
ence to the government taking the bulk
of the maple SMEAR output
The food administration, on the 9th.
er hand, is urging a maximum produc-
ton of maple products because of the
scarcity and necessary conservation of
cane and beet sugars. There has been
no price established on maple products,
and there is no reason, it was said at
the state food administration offices,
why the producer should not go ahead
exactly as in former years he being
under no restriction whatever.
Maple products are even in ia.
vored class after they enter the chan.

production, instead of being held strict
" to the regulations affecting many
food commodities which say the amount
that can be kept on hand must not ex.
coed the requirements for 60 days.
The Vermont food administration
has made every effort to make possible
large production of maple products
this spring, by giving fuel exemptions
to manufacturers of utensils needed in
the production of syrup and sugar and
by having the railroad embargo raised
on tin needed in the making of con
tanners of the same. The administira
tion is hopeful that the production will
be as large as possible and urges the
producers not TO become alarmed by
rumors that must arise from source
that is hostile to the best interests of
