Work Of Naval Air Force
Important And Thrilling

London, Nov. 19.--American navai
officers today gave the United Press
the story Of the silent but thrilling
work of the American naval air force
in Europe.
Since the United States entered the
war this force has officially sunk one
submarine and probably six others, and
has damaged many. Nine pilots were
lost in action.
The total of American seaplanes in
Europe is 525. The efficiency with
which they have patrolled the ocean
lares is shown by the fact that sinnings
by submarines decreased in good flying
weather and increased in bad weather.
Allied naval officials declare that,

HOW RHEUMATISM BEGINS

The exeruciating agonies of rheuma
tism are usually the result of failure
of the kidneys to expel poisons from
the system. In a majority Of cases rheu'
matism is an indication that uric acid
has pervaded the system. If the irrita
ton of these uric acid crystals is al
lowed to continue, incurable bladder OF
kidney disease may result. Attend to
it at once. Don't resort to temporary
relief. The sick kidneys must be re
stored to health by the use of some
sterling remedy which will prevent a
return of the disease.
Get some GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil Capsules Immediately. They are a
standard world famous medicine in use
for over two hundred years. They have
brought back the joys of life to count
less thousands of sufferers from rheu-
matism, lame back, lumbago, sciatica,
gall stones, gravel and other affections
of the kidneys, liver, stomach, bladder
and allied organs.
They win attack the poisons at once
clear out the kidneys and urinary
tract and the soothing healing oils
and herbs will restore the inflamed
tissues and organs to normal health.
