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

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Hartigan's Drug Stores and all druggists. gives quicker and more lasting relief than other reme- dies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma asses the deadly poison- ous secretions into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what reputable physician says about Rheuma: l have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma and can heartily recommend 1t as a remedy for al forms of rheu- matsm. I find Rheuma far in ad- vance of the methods generally em- ployed in the treatment of rheuma- tisn, and altogtheF different in com position from the rAnediec usually prescribed. pr. NJ. C.

HUNS WITHDRAW
 FROM BASE OF
 WAR INDUSTRIES

London, Oct 1S-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press "A belt Of the Rhine valley. roughly 25o miles Hong, from Cologne in the north % the Grand Duchy of Baden in the south, a region crowded with war in dustries and intersected by railway system of vital strategic importance to the German army in France, is now a definite part of the war zone. This is one of the most striking and signif- cant developments of the Allied cam paign, and how big are it's possibilities may be gauged by the vast damage, both physical and moral already in f1icted upon the enemy. It is the achievement of the Royal Air Force. Over that region In the last three months the airmen, operating day i and night, have made 249 raids, drop l uing POT tons of bombs upon enemy : railway centers, muniion works. ! poison gas factories, electrical and ! engineering plants, blast furnaces, ! eerodromes. and other important mill 1tary objectives.

NEW YORK. Sept 26.-Today's
Franco American attack in the
Champagne region Is for the pur-
pose of bending back the German
Verdun sectors and compelling Won
Hindenburg to use up more of his
dwindlinR reserves In protecting
this lightly held part OF his front.
Since the early months OF the
war. the Champagne front has
been maintained by scarcely more
troops than the line further east In
Lorraine and Alsace. II is very
suspectlble to an assault.
Hindcnburg's concentration OF hts
own manpower In western France
heretofore had compelled the allies
to meet him there. The American
armies now. however, permit Mar

OF the attack and the selection OF
