Twinges.
Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided. after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities. commonly call
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and ex-
pelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult
ed physicians. made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription
that quickly and completely banish-
ed every sign and symptom of rheu-
matism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers.

ed agent for Allenrhu in this vicin-
ity with the understanding that he

ANIMALS AT THE BATH

Human beings pay a good deal OF
attention to washing, but animais
under natural conditions seldom
wash in the sense in which we un-
derstand the verb. The contempo-
rary press has come to the conciu-
sion that, broadly speaking, the only
creatures which wash themselves in
water are the birds. and many of
them-most, in fact-are absolute
enthusiasts in the practice. as any
one can see, even in towns, in the
case of the sparrow. Some birds,
| however, much prefer a shower
bath to going into the water AID
| splashing It over themselves;
pigeons love a bath in the rain, and
larks and cockatoos seem only 20
bathe in this way. 1t might be sug-
gested that the high temperature of
! birds, which about equals fever
heat in man, accounts for this love
| of washing in water. The birds
which do not bathe generally mak e
up for it by busting themselves.
| Everybody who keeps poultry
knows, or ought to know, that Ole
of the necessaries of fowl life IS tie
dust bath, and the custom of using
all the birds of the game and poul-
| try family; while some few employ
| both dust and water, like the COM
mon sparrow.
Reptiles do not wash at all, bat
/ merely soak; and in the case OF
| beasts, deliberate washing with
water seems to occur only with elc
! plants Females of the African ele-
! phant have been seen to daub their
! calves with mud and then wash il
| off-soaping and sluic!ng them, ia
| fact. Most naked-skinned animals
| like to wallow, at any rate in Il
| water, and so do many which are
well furred; such bathing is enjoyed
not only by rhinoceroses and buf-
/ faloes, but, as every one konws, hy
dogs, and even by bears and 10y
! tigers.
But wallowing is not washing. and
when performed in, mud leaves the
wallower dirtier than before un I'll
| the deposit has caked off. The
| equine tribe. like the game birds,
| favor a roll in sand, but most of the
! hoofed animals contrive to keen
| their coats in order without either
| dry or wet cleaning.
Many supple-bodied animals find
| they can do all they want by ilch-
| ing; such are the cat and the mou.se
and their respective relatives. Bats
are very assidious boLh in licking and
| scratching themselves. and the con-
tinual scratching of the monkey tribe

sites as a kind of natural curry
combing.-The Animal World.

FIGHT ON TERMS OPENED
BY SOCIALISTS AT PARIS
Committee Turns on Wilson, Rakes Saar
and Danzig Rulings and Sees League
as Vehicle for War.

Nations covenant as adopted, saying
that the League creates a league Of
Governments rather than a league Of
peoples. and that through the failure
to establish compulsory arbitration 1t
doesn't oblige its members to renounce
their right to have recourse to war
II is governed by five great, victorious
nations equally, and two great powers,
Germany and Russia, are wholly ex-
cluded.
AS expected, the committee voices
the Socialist disapproval Of the Saar
Valley and Danzig settlements. AS re-
CARDS the former 1t supports the Ger
man proposal to repay Lens coal with
Saar coal, but rejects the treaty provi-
sion as concealed annexation. Their
objection to the Danzig settlement is
based upon what they term a violation
Of the right OF self determination by
dividing Germany into two parts.
Concerning Shantung the resolution
says: The brutal manner OF dispos-
ing Of the Shantung peninsula, with
all OF its resources, and submitting
thirty to forty millions Of Chinese to
Japanese domination should not be
passed by in silence. 1t is open recog-
milton Of the right Of conquest" Con-
cluding. the resolution says: These
faults are grave and fully establish h
that this peace isn't our peace, and that
the nations are still threatened with
seeing the policy of conquerors dis
tributing the spoils without rejecting
upon the inevitable consequences"

l.. Hubbell Of Garden City, L. l.. a
senior student at Vassar College, may
lose the sight of her right eve as n
result OF an explosion of a glass re-
tort during demonstration in
physics in the college laboratory to-
day. Her face was filed with par
ticles Of glass and the eye was pierced.
TWO other students. Miss Helen
Hewitt. 21. Of Granville N. Y. and
Miss Lucy Hale OF Los Angeles, Ca,
were cut IN the face and about the
eyes and are under treatment at Vas
sar Brothers Hospital.
The class of thirty, all seniors, was
grouped about the demonstration
table when the explosion occurred
The instructor, who was standing
nearest had turned her back to ex-
plain the methods used in the
process for the devaporization of
ether. Except for this fact she un-
doubtedly would have suffered severe
injuries.
Ten Of the girls besides those taken
to the hospital were badly cut.
The sound OF the explosion. which
was accompanied by a concussion that
Jared the building. caused a panic in
the classroom. The students, after
their first sensation OF shock. tried to
stampede from the room. tumbling over
chairs and tables, but the instructor
reached the door first and urged them
TO be calm Miss Hubbell and her two
fellow students were sobbing with the
pain OF the wounds. The girls finally
left the room in good order
They were met outside by frightened
students from other class rooms who
had heard the explosion. The instruc-
tor sent in a hurried call for DIR.
Elizabeth Thelberg, head physician of
the college. who arrived with two assist
ants They bound up the wounds of those
who had superficial cuts and did what
they could for Miss Hubbell and her
companions.
The three girls were moved as quickly
as possible TO the hospital. All three
suffered from shock and 1t was some time
before the full extent Of their injuries
could be ascertained. The hospital sur
geons after preliminary examination
said they did not believe there had been
any Ill effects from the ether gas which
was generating at the time of the ex-
plosion. There were no symptoms that
indicated poisoning OF this nature, they
said, and II was said that the explosion
had taken place before the generating
process had fully started
The college authorities said that all
the retorts are carefully tested before
being used in the laboratory and 1t is
rare that one explodes. The physics de-
partment in which the accident took
place is on the ground floor OF the labora-
tory on the east side OF the building
Class work was discontinued for the day
after the explosion.

SPEECH STIRS COMMENT
Special Gable Desparcn TO THE sux


LONDON. May 15.-Commenting upon
President Wilson's speech before the
International Law Society in Paris,
The Globe says:
I'VE are afraid we may have done
President Wilson an injustice, and II
so we beg him to believe that we have
done SO unwittingly. From his speech
it appears that he does not regard
himself as invested with the full at
tributes Of providence, and is not as
yet TO be considered as more than a
very talented understudy, still he is
evidently qualifying for the superior
role. He broods over mankind, past,
present and to come. and mourns over
the fact that he can't make all OF II
suddenly perfectly happy even with
the League OF Nations In the throne
OF Grace Astounding. Wilson isn't pro
vidence; 1t was a mistake to think that
he was. but we are sure that he will
be the first to admit that our error was
altogether pardonable"
The Dolly Netos says:
The Wilson speech was as loftily
inspired and as finely phrased as his ut
terances almost invariably are, and its
full great truths were expressed with
admirable simplicity. but compared with
the terms of the peace treaty these can
ons break down at once 1t Is fair TO
assume that Wilson is az we'll aware of
these things as his critics. What then
is the meaning of his speech? We take
II to be this: that amid all the artificial
tiles. all the private vengeancies, the i'm
possible compromises and the sinister
concessions. the League OF Nations has
assumed formal charge. That much has
been wrung from reluctant diplomatists,
but 1t Is not to them that Wilson is now
appealing. The President has put into
the hands OF the peoples a League of
Nations that is an effective instrument
for their deliverance both from tyranny
and anarchy. 1t is for them to use it."

PARIS. May 15.-The first important
step in the reconstruction of the So
cialist Internationale in opposition to
the peace treaty was taken yesterday
when an international committee
named by the Bern Socialist Con-
gress met and passed resolutions pro-
testing that the treaty contains the
germs of future wars. This resolu-
tions will be presented to the Coun-
Gil of Four in an effort to get them
to reconsider the decision with which
the Socialists are at variance.
Whether the committees action
brings the slightest results, which is
very doubtful, 1t is regarded by un-
prejudiced observers as a significant
indication of the change that has
taken place in the mind Of the Euro
pean proletariat since President VIII
son arrived in Europe. Then they
looked to him as the spokesman OF
their aspirations, but they now feel
that they must go back to the hope
Of an internationale and the same
means OF expression as before the
war.

Of whom have been noted for their
moderate opinion. The resolutions be-
