 Rheuma. the wonderful Rheumatism remedy. now sold by all good drug gists. gives quicker aui more lasting relief than other remedies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma acts with speed; 1t brings in 8 few days the relief you have prayed for. It antag onizes the poisons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturin 2 soreness completely disappears.
 Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: T have made a most careful investigation Of the for mula employed in the manufacture os Rheuma, and I heartily rec )mmend it as a remedy for all ferns ai rh.ufra : tism.

Behind Siberia S Veil
What Has Happened and What

struggle IN, e. siS1rs BY fsseFS T eoTos go1ensn ors
COMPANY.
pav by day the question of Allied in
..rxention in Russia, particularly in
ss;a;ic Russia. becomes more i'm
nortant. The President has declared
hat he stands by Russia, as he does
sy France; either in spite of or be-
ssuse of which he alone restrains the
Allies from intervening in Siberia to
,revent the German conquest of that
country. Meantime public opinion
balts because of lack of general in
;ormation concerning conditions in
Siberia, and is-perhaps unconscious
islsehood and distrust of Japan which
German agents have been industriously
Spreading.
Amid all this fog and miasm Mr
coleman's book comes like a blast of
Trash air and searching and illum-
mating beam of light. He has seen
and sees. He knows. He tells us the
facts about Siberia which we need to
know if we arc to solve the problem Of
aur true course toward that country
IA tells Us the truth about Japan as
We ought to be brave enough and
honest enough TO recognize it. He
shows US that the choice practically
lies between japanese intervention
backed by all the Allies-and German
eonouest; and that the former, prop
.riy effected, would not "drive Russia
isto the arms of Germany" but would,
On the contrary, win her back to the
AIlies and to independence. It is a
hook Of copious information, cogent
reasoning and sound conclusions, and

lust Pure Romance

With r.a frontspese By By Il I've Weston tom Taylor ismo

For themes of pure romance. un-
marred by "problems," commend to US
the land of Spain. We are not sure
whether it is because the immortal
chronicler of the Rueful knight once
and for all disposed of all problems
past, present and future--or for some
other reason, but we do know that the
average problem" which tinctures and
taints the fiction of Anglo-Saxondom
could no more exist in Spanish ro-
nance than a castle in Spain could
stand upon the soil of Manhattan.
So the two young authors Of "The
Wolf Cub" have given US pure ro-
nance, set in the most romantic land
indeed it is. There are, of course, the
familiar figures Of bandolero and gypsy
and Guardia Civil, which belong to
every Spanish tale as truly as the ST.
erras belong to the landscape But the
most familiar figures arc capable of
novel deeds, marked with both comedy
and tragedy, and Jacinto Quesada as
suredly gives US enough deeds of ad-
venture to satisfy the most insatiate.
1t is capital story. from beginning
to end. and its authors have told it
with all the zest and spirit of youth
and with measure of the expert crafts
manship which we are won't to attribute,
though not always justly. to veterans
rather than to comparative novices in
the literary field. We shall look with
eager anticipation for further ro-
mances from these gifted brothers.

Real Men of the Bible

SIDE. STEPPING SAINTS by George Clarke
Peck. limo. po. 329 The Methodist Book Con-
Cern.
1t is refreshing to have Biblical
characters presented to US as real men.
That is of course what they were. One
OF the two or three greatest has been
Biblically described as man Of like
passions with ourselves, and the great
est of them all-savc One--was so hui
man that for human frailty he was
denied entrance iNto the land to which
he had led his people. The trouble
has been that when men have tried to
take these figures out of the sacredotal
gallery and invest them with red
blooded life they have too often gone
to the other extreme of making them
slangy and vulgar. Into that error
DR.. Peck does not fall. He is COLO
quial without being coarse or flippant,
and he endows his characters with life
without making them mountebanks.
The result is that his readers gain a
truer conception than ever before of
the characters and achievements of
the great men of the Old and New
Testaments, and of their fitting places
in the history of the world.

Audubon's Labrador

IN AuDUDoN.s LABRADOR. BY Charles Wendell
Townsend: With Illustrations and map syo.
pp xii s5i The Houshton Niniin Compans.
Audubon's trip to Labrador, with "a
company of daring and enthusiastic
young companions, is too much forgot
ten amid the exploited stories Of later
ventures by other men. 1t was a
journey of valuable results, and it was
marked throughout with spirit and
achievement commendable to all nat
uralists and explorers. So it was a
good thing for DR.. Townsend to un-
dertake, two-thirds of century later,
to retrace the steps of the great pio-
neer nature-student, and to present
in this handsome volume not alone a
fascinating record of his own doings
but also an appreciative memorial of
Audubon. AS a description of the
little known land OF Labrador it is
much to be priced, and it's account of
the bird life of that country and it's
cogent arguments for its conservation
make it of SURPRISING value.

There has been vast lot of stuff
published about the drunkenness and
licentiousness of the army, divisible
like Gaul into three parts, one Of
which is German propaganda, another
the unclean imaeinings of unclean
minds, and the third plain, stupid
lying. We no longer tolerate it, but
send to Jail those who emit such filth.
Nevertheless, it is gratifying to have

thentic compendium of facts concern.
ing the moral-and by inevitable i'm
plication the physical-health Of our
army, both at home and abroad. The
facts are that it is temperate and
continent army. The soldiers do less
drinking and less lechery than their
brothers at home, and the proportion
ate numbers of cases of drunkenness
and OF venereal diseases are far less in
army camps and cantonments than in
the communities from which the
soldiers came. DR.. Odell's book will
be uncommonly welcome reading in
every home that flies service flag,
and should be read by every American
citizen, man or woman. 1t is comfort
ing, reassuring and inspiring reading.
and the best thing about it is that it IS
