RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Remedy
for the Disease Has Been
Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by r. A. Drown & Co. and
all druggists gives quicker and more
lasting relief than other remedies costing
many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous
secretions into the bowels and kidneys,
from which they are quickly thrown off
in natural, healthy way.
Read what reputable physician says
about Rheuma: II have made a most
careful investigation of the formula en-
ployed in the manufacture of Rheuma,
and | heartily recommend it as remedy
for all forms of rheumatism. ! find
Rheuma far in advance of the methods
generally employed in the treatment of
rheumatism, and altogether different
in composition from the remedies usual
ly prescribed. DR.. NJ. G. Lyons.
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.--

NEWRLLRY
Body of Mrs. Eliza A. Bailey Brought
Here for Burial Tuesday.

Standing beside an open grave in our
cemetery last Wednesday morning and
witnessing the final Homecoming of one
of Newbury's daughters, flood of recol-
lections would not down. As we look
back through the lights and the shadows
Of the past, it sometimes seems that the
sunshine was brighter and more cheerful
in our youthful days than at any other
time, and that the recollections of its
scenes are among the most pleasing; and
thus the many friends of Mrs. Eliza A.
Bailey remember her. The name of Bar
net is associated with the earliest records
of our town. Her father was Gilman Bar
net, born in 1909, and her mother, Mary
Burroughs, daughter Of Deacon William
Burroughs. Eliza war che fourth child of
this union, born June 5, lS4l. In 1861 she
was married to Nelson Bailey, who was
great grandson of Newbury's patriot, Gen.
Jacob Bayley, and became the mother of
eight children, all of whom have passed
on before her with the exception Of Abb
ner and Louis g., who were spared TO
give her every comfort in her declining
years, and who were with her until the
last. We remember her in her early wild
owhood, with her brood of children and
the care of one Of Newbury's largest
farms suddenly thrust upon her by the
death OF her husband in 1881 She was
equal to the occasion. She was ready for
any emergency. This woman, although
born and reared amid severe, rigid and
sectarian influences, was never interrupt
ed by them in the exercise OF sentiments
and charities of the broadcast humanity.
Unexcelled in wifely and motherly offices
Of good to all, she filed larger space
in domestic life than usually falls to the
lot of any woman. She was unpretend-
ing in department. but severe in the ex-
ercise of all the virtues. As member
Of the Congregational church she rigidly
adhered to its discipline and worked I'M
tiringly for it's interests, living in
faith as constant and immortal as the
soul itself Worn out with long and
faithful toll, she has gone to that quiet
and peaceful rest which all mankind
dread vet coyet. There is no occasion
for sad sympathy for her who Is gone.
Her life was such that it is well with
her. Sorrow is meet only for the living
Her death occurred on Sunday morning,
Aug. 4, at her sons, Abner, Lancaster,
N. H., where the funeral service was
held Tuesday, the burial service being
at Newbury, Aug. 7, Rev. Henry S, Ives
in charge.

Falls Church-Corp. Haskins Heard
Erorr,


Mrs. Helen p Latnrop, who has been
for the past year parish worker for the
congregational and Methodist churches,
leaves here the last day of the month
for her home in Canterbury, Conn, where
she will spend two or three days before
going to her new work in Pawtucket,
r. l., where she will be assistant pastor
of the Central Falls Congregational
church, Rev. James d. Dingwell, pastor.
The work the pastor of the church is do
ing in the Pawtucket Civic theatre makes
the need of an assistant pastor impera-
tive. Mrs. Lathrop has been assisting
Rev Verne L. Smith here the past year
during the federation pro tempore Of the
Methodist and Congregational churches
while Rev. William L. Boicourt was with
the Y. M. G. A. in France The work of
the two churches together was new and
into this work Mrs. Lathrop has thrown
herself with much zeal and enthusiasm
and has accomplished much in the time
she has been with us. With the young
people and Sunday school she has done
special work and her many friends
gained here viii follow her with much
interest to her new and larger field of
usefulness.

OIL WELL IN ENGLISH TOWN?
Undoubtedly Fluid Is There, but From
Whence IL Came Seems to Be
Matter of Mystery.

Polluted well water Of long standing
at the market town of Ramsey, near
Peterborough, England, prompted one
we'll owner to dig for the cause, says
an exchange. He struck oil in short
order and created boom and a myS-
fiery. Another we'll also yielded oil.
Pumpin%s from both, averaging 500
gallons a day, sold on the spot for 2
shillingS the gallon and burned in
lambs like ordinary Illuminating oil.
Spectators jumped at the find rath-
er cautiously. They lacked the sport
ing spirit of Kansas and Oklahoma
boomers. One ventured a IS note for
a share in well and asked fl 900 for
his interest next morning. Nothing
doing. The game wasn't ripe enough
for plungers
Official tests of the oil deepened the
mystery. They showed the oil was al
ready refined. carrying a specific gray
tty Of so, which is the gravity of re-
fined oil. One of the testers, whose
opinion was flouted, offered a bet Of
f5OO that the oil was not natural oil.
No takers.
The present conclusion seems to be
that the oil Is due to leakage from
some unknown source. There are no
Oil tanks in Ramsey or Peterborough
town and the source of the leak, If
such 1t is, must be at greater dis
lance. Lucky well owners are not wor-
ry1ng about the source, With all the
zeal of gold diggers they stick to the
pumps and rake in the shillings from
eager buyers of the fluid.

FEARS INCREASE OF DISEASE
ton of the Thyroid Gland as
Result of the War.

A marked increase in disease of the
thyroid gland as result of the war
is predicted by DIR. S. p. Beebe of New
York in the Medical Record. He bases
this prediction on observations in Eu-
rope and on the fact that many of
those who had suffered in the kishi-
neff massacre developed this disease
after coming to New York that their
terrible experience in the Triangle
Shirt Waist company's fire produced
the same trouble in at least three of
the sufferers and a similar effect was
observed after the San Francisco
earthquake.
For hyperthyroidism. as it rs called,
is known to be an effect of intense
emotion, fright, distress, worry and
mental and physical exhaustion.
THE civil population will suffer
from somewhat similar emotional dis
turbance," he continues. THE wives,
sisters. sweethearts and mothers Of
the soldiers have had some foretaste
of what is to come, and. unless all
previous experience is to be contra
dicted. the incidence of hyperthyroid-
ism will be markedly increased"
Doctor Beebe says the sufferers will
need special care, and the disease
must be recognized and treated at
once If the cure is not to be tediously

CR0CERS HELP

SIGN PLEDGE TO CARRY OUT
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAM.
POST CARDS IN STORES.
Explain New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands of Customers-ln-
sures Greater Food Saving.

Grocers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the $3.50 basis for the
purchase Of wheat -four and are doing
theii utmost to explain the new regu-
alton to the housewife. This ruling by
the U. S. Food Administration reQuires
each purchaser of wheat -four to buy
one pound of cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat flour. 1t was necessary TO re-
strict the use of wheat -four in order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an ade-
quaie supply Of wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have al
ready sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were for
war'ied by the Food Administration to
ali retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted in stores
throughout the country. This card
states, "We pledge ourselves Loyalty to
carry out the Food Administration pro-
gram. In accordance with this order
We will not sell any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight Of one or more of the fo1lcwing,
a greater use of which liz the home
will save wheat:
"Cornmeal, corn -four, edible corn
starch. hominy, corn grits, barley -four,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy
b2an -four, feterita -four and meals.
rice. rice -four, oatmeal, rolled oats and
buckwheat flour"
Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer In constituting
this 5000" ruling to mean that an
equal amount in value of substitutes
must be purchased with wheat flour
This is mistaken idea. The ruling
states thlt the consumer in purchasing
Hour shall buy at the same time an
equal weight Of other cereals"
One exception to this ruling is con-
corning graham flour and whole wheat
flour, which may be sold at the ratio
Of three pounds to five pounds of
wheat flour. This provision is made
because approximately % per cent
more of the wheat berry is used in the
manufacture of these flours than stand
ard wheat flour.
Another exception is that concern
ing mixed lours containing less than
30 npr cent Of wheat flour. which may

RETURN TO ANCIENT METHOD
War Gradually Forcing Countries to
Go Back to the Primitive
Custom of Barter.

Predictions by some economists that
the time may come if the war lasts
much longer that money would cease to
have any value. are gradually coming
true, they contend. They point out
that shipping deals being made by both
belligerents are virtually a return to
the old system of hartering goods.
AS an Illustration. the case is cited
Of the United States dickering with
Japanese for tonnage to transport and
maintain the 100000 troops Secretary
Baker expects to have in Europe by the
end Of this year. Ship plates for the
Japanese have been held up in this
country for several months by with
holding export licenses. If the United
States can obtain the tonnage the jap
anese may get the plates on the basis
Of about two tons of shipping for one
ton of ship plates.
