Letters from France Show No
Confidence in Word of
Germans Is Held by
Those Abroad.

The feeling that a duty has been
we'll done, and a new conservation
to home and country, pervades the
letters of men who have been in
France through the terrible months
of fighting.
Three months in France with the
marines has taught me great deal;
I>have seen warts devastation, its
mockery, its sacrilege-at first
hand" writes Karl Lee, former en-
ploye of the Bee who is now lying
wounded in an American hospital in
France.
Fought on Three Fronts.
T have been on three fronts and
participated in at least one great
battle. The bullet wound in my side
is evidence of how thoroughly the
game of war has been taught. We
all hold far sterner views of life, yet
we realized the necessity of the
struggle"
Rev. James c. Peterson, formerly
of Ruskin, Neb., writes from Paris
November 7, the day the first ru-
mors of the signing of the armistice
stirred the world. Think of being
in Paris the same time that the
world council is assembled here to
take action on the conclusion OF the
greatest war in all history. Rumors
are afloat tonight but tomorrow we
expect an authorized report. These
are times that stir the deepest
thoughts and emotions in serious
minded people, but also times that
let loose the widest passions in the
frivolous. These two phases may
be seen in Paris tonight"
Flu Controlled Abroad.
The flu epidemic has been kept
under control in France according
to letter from Capt. w. H. Mick,
medical corps, hospital No 20, Camp
DeSouge, who was stricken with the
disease but has recovered. "Our hos
pital lost only 211 per cent of flu
cases." he writes, "and those were
largely cases that developed pneu-
monia. The death rate of pneumonia
cases was SO per cent.
"We know how full of tricks the
German machine is and those of us
who have been over here have rea-
son for Our lack of trust in their
promises. The French and English
will doubtless see that no chance
is taken and this is for the best in
terest of the German people in the
long run"

HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Mr.. Ashelman is only one Of thousands
who suffered for years, owing to the gen.
eral belief in the old. false theory that
uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This err
roneous belief induced him and legions Of
unfortunate men and women to take wrong
treatments. You might just as well at
tempt to put out fire with oil as to try
and get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis
and like complaints, by taking treatment
supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your
blood and body. Many physicians and
scientists now know that Uric Acid never
did, never can and never will cause
rheumatism: that is a natural and nee
essary constituent of the blood; that it
is found in every newborn babe, and that
without it we coud not live!
