passed since wrote you last. It is about four years ago that I made radical change in my diet. Board- ed myself and lived almost exclusive ly on vegetables and fruit and coarse, whole-wheat bread and butter and eggs and milk. Overcame my case of constipation and hemorrhoids i'm proved at that time so that the sore has healed up now, and it does not bother me any more. And the rheu- matism became better until three weeks ago when I had a slight attack of it again. but it probably was due to the bad weather. Feel better now. In case it returns what shall do to prevent 1t? Please send me a list of your books. I want to thank you heartily for all the help I have receiV from following your advice and instructions. c. B. A. (Answer). Your very kind letter of recent date is received, and I can assure you that I am very glad to hear from you again. had thought that you were not going to write to us any more. We find that many people are so fully restored to good health after following directions we give, proper diet, etc., that it is un- necessary for them to write for help for many years, but we are always glad to hear from them again when | ever they need help. Whenever any one has an attack of rheumatism, it | indicates that there is. poison be- | ing secreted somewhere in their sys- tenn. Usually this is in the teeth and I think you would be wise to go | immediately TO a first-class dentist and have your teeth filled and care | fully examined. If he finds that you have any pyorrhea or that there are any abscesses at the roots of the teeth you should by all means have the proper treatment for removing the cause or those diseased teeth should be taken out. Otherwise you will have more rheumatism later on and it will not be so easy to get rid of
 Rheumatism always comes from an infection of some kind in the form of pus. Sometimes 1t is from the ton sils but most cases come fHom the teeth. The best way is to have an x. ray picture taken of the roots of all of the teeth so as to find if there is any pus in any of them. If there is | have that tooth removed.

Washington, Oct 2S.-Regulations
intended to prevent German owned
firms with factories in Switzerland
from exporting their product under
the guise of Swiss goods after the
war, have been adopted by Swiss
chambers of commerce in connection
with the establishment of new ma
tional trade mark for all Swiss ex-
ports.
The regulations provide that use
of the trade mark be confined to
firms two-thirds Of whose capital is
Swiss and to goods that actually are
made in Switzerland exclusively by
the Swiss. 1t is known that many
firms operating in the country which
are ostensibly Swiss, have been es-
tablished by German capital, or ac-
quired from their original owners
by German manufacturers, in order
that an apparently neutral outlet
might be secured for German-made

IT'S THE SAME OLD TALK
Editor Evening Telegram:

Editor Evening Telegram:
The latest German reply is as
matter Of course wholly unsatisfac
tory to us Americans. 1t only serves
to put the peace movement back to
when it was ten days ago. 1t shows
clearly a process of sparring or fenc-
ing which the Hun has been carrying
on since the peace movement first
started. It only shows that ten days
of diplomacy has been lost SO lar as
America is concerned. 1t seems to
me that the thing to do is to give
Germany the old slogan to shut up
or nut up. And show her hand. This
continued backing and filling cuts no
figure that counts in the least man
ner. This has come to be no time
for the statesmen on either hand to
he playing fox and geese. While the
bitterest of wars is going on our sol
der boys are speaking their piece to
the Hun hordes with solid shot and
she'll and are aiming true to the mark
and it's the only way out of this ter
rible conflict. So / say, go to it,
brave fellows, and shoot until the last
miserable Hun is cleaned out. That
would be, think, the only and prop
err way to talk and settle the ARRAY.
Yours W. s. B.

SHADOWS
(By R. A. ward.)

(By r. A. Ward.)
Life is composed of sunshine ana
shadows,
Each succeeding the other through
life;
Some days are full of joy and glad
ness,
While some are filled with sorrow
and strife.
Sin may cast it's shadows around us;
And while we seek in vain for the
light,
Sorrow may plunge our souls into
darkness,
Far more gloomy than that of the
night
Our faith fails to pierce the dark
shadows
That hide from us the light of the
sun,
And we stumble and fall by the way
side.
Long before final victory is won
If we would turn our eyes to the
storm-cloud.
Instead of the dark shadows below
Through our tears, we might got the
bright vision
Of the bright and beautiful chow"
Though our way leads through the
dark valley
At the end Of the journey of life,
There will be no suffering nor sor-
row,
And there will be no turmoil nor
strife.
But we shall not escape all the shad
That are lowering over our way,
Until we cross the valley of Shad
ows,"
And enter that land of cloudless
day.

HOW WILL JUSTICE" VIEW TT

That will be a mighty mean jury
over in Hillsborough county that will
find Zeke Young guilty of murder in
the first degree After Zeke, 1T
seems, killed one Minnie Lee Will
liams, he Immediately bought inn
munity from his sims OF gentleman
of his color who "has been preaching
since he was little boy"
Zeke paid twenty dollars for the
immunity and got it in the form OF
string of beads and leaf from the
Bible in which was wrapped ten
cents worth of ginger All he had
to do was to carry these about on his
person, and not only was he pro-
tected from divine wrath but from
/ the clutches of common, every day,
man law.
But about the first walk Zeke start
ed after the killing took him right
into the arms and pair of handouts
of the chief of police of Lakeland,
and so indignant was he over the
failure of his immunity to immune,
he told the officers about the preach
er and his charms.
At the home of the preacher it was
found that he was all fixed up for
business. At one end of the room
was a cross with a lighted candle be-
meath it. The walls were covered
with painted signs, and the Tampa
Tribune reporter who visited the
place, says that few smoked mullet
hung artistically about lent pungent
odor to the premises, that seemed
just right to get the prospective
saved-sinner into the proper frame of
mind
Harris, the preacher, the reporter
says, with 275 pounds of beef on his
frame, set the scene off heavily
But the question is, what will an
American jury do with an alleged
murderer simple enough to go after
salvation in that manner? The
preacher has been arrested as an ac-
cessory after the fact, but that won't
hang him. When we get down to the
unvarnished truth, our modern Gus
tice" system is still sadly lacking in
the elements of justice. Zeke prob
ably ought to be put where he can
ret kill any more Minnie Lee Will
liams, but that preacher should be
drawn and quartered.-Miami Metro.
