Citizens of Connecticut are warned hy the Connecticut State Council Of Defense that they should discontinue Bt once the practice of giving contr;- buttons to all sorts of war funds whicf4 are not recognized nationally ,or an proved bv the Defense Courcil in this state. Certain funds which are na- tional in their scope will have the ap- proval of the authorities at Washing ton, and other funds which are merely statewide movements will be approv ed by the state council of defense. Chairnen of the councils committees In the various towns and cities and the var bureaus which have been organiz war bureaus which have been orgar- fzed will have knowledge at all times of the funds which have official sane ton.
 This warning 2gainst contributions for unauthorized purposes has been given by the state council because 9f a resolution which has been adopted hy the Council of Defense at Wash lngton in order to check contributions for purposes that are not worthy. Regulation and standardization of ap- peals of this kind is advocated by the federal government, and a plan l2ok- ing to that end is being put into effect In Connecticut.
 The resolutions adopted by the Cour- cil of National Defense, and endorsed by the Connecticut State Council of Defense follows:
 Whereas, appeals are constantly being made throughout the country in behalf of innumerable war relief agen- cies: and
 Whereas. the. benevolent energies Of the country are being dissipated by such solicitations, and the Notation Of government loans, as well as subscrip- lions for other worthy and legitimate purposes, may thereby be seriously af- fected: and
 Whereas, the Council of National Defense believes that the regulation and cent-aliZation of such appeals appeals would encourage the patriotic and philanthropic spirit of the country to a generous response by the assur- ance of the proper responsibility of those soliciting subscriptions. thus minimizing opportunities to exploit the benevolent impulses of the country; therefore be it
 Resolved That the Council of Na- tioual Defense requests each of the state cou~@''= of defense so to organ ize that 7ay assure itself of tho worthine the objects in support or whtch 'eals for assistance are made and b. the integrity and fiancial responsibility of those making such appeals; and be it further
 Resolved. That the Council of Ma tional Defense requests that all cam paigns for private aid be conducted in entire cooperation with the state councils of defense; and be it further
 Resolved. That the Council of Ma tonal Defense urges the people of the country to contribute assistance, fi- nancial and otherwise only to those persons and objects that are accredit- ed and approved by the Council of Defense in each state! and be it furth- CT
 Resolved. That the Council of Ma tional Defense suggests that the state councils "f defense approve appeals for financial aid only where it shall he understood that an accounting of the moneys received and spent shall be made public"

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Remedy for the Disease Has
 Been Found.

PhySlcian Be1ieveS Oenuine hemedy
 for the Disease Has
 Been Found.
 Rheuma the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Co. and all good druggists, gives quicker and more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times as much.
 Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous 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: T have made a most careful investigation of the for mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. I find Rheuma far in advance of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism. and al- together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed" "-Dr. NJ. C. Lyons.
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence to try Rheuma.
