Don't Let That
Rheumatism Get
You This Winter
How to Avoid 1t

The pain and misery of those aw-
full Rheumatic attacks will again
come suddenly upon you unless you
are careful. Don't overlook the fact
that it is uric acid in the blood that
causes Rheumatism.
Get a thoroughly good blood food,
ore that provides strength to the
system and take 1t now, a blood food
like Novo-San that enr!ches the blood
and strengthens the kidneys so they
can filter out of your system the
poison uric acid. Weak sluggish
kidneys cause most Rheumatism be-
cause they can't take the uric acid
out of the blood.
Novo-San is a blood food rich
with blood strengthening elements
that go right into the blood, giving
it rev vitality and giving nourish-
ment to the kidneys, cleansing and
strengthening them. Then the pois-
onous waste matter of the blood
which causes Rheumatism is filtered
out of the blood through the kidneys
md passes out of the system and
your cause of Rheumatism should
disappear.
Novo-San is highly recommended
by doctors to q | sufferers or Rheu-
natism. Il costs little and can be
obtained from druggists like George
!. GorSas and Fl. G. Kennedy. The
lcsults Of Novo-San in II DAYS will

Farmers Disclaim
Responsibility For the
High Living Costs

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 21.-
A reduction of transatlantic freight
rates on wheat was demanded in a
resolution adopted by the National
Grange in convention here. The
present rates between New York and
Liverpool the resolution sets forth
are now over eight times the pre-
war rate.
Other resolutions presented by the
transportation committee an
adopted by the convention, oppose a
government owned merchant marine
and advocate immediate return of
railroads to their owners.
The Grange also registered its dis
approval of the Plumb plan of rail-
road operation.
All responsibility for high living
costs was disclaimed by the farmers
in a resolution depicting efforts of
indutrial workers to shorten the
daily hours of work and at the sasn e
time obtain increased wages.

BRITISH SILENT
ON THESENATE'S
TREATY ACTION
Believe Americans Regard the
Question as a Domestic
One, Not Political


London Nov. 21.-Nearly all Brit
ish public men are silent concern
ing the United States Senate's deal
ings with the Peace Treaty. The
reason for this is that they under
stand Americans regard the question
as a domestic and not political al
fair and fear that any expressions
from them might give offense and
be taken as attempts to influence
American politics.
Lord Robert Cecil and Lieutenant
General Jan Christian Smuts. were
the British sponsors for the League
of Nations and are largely RESPONSE
BILE for the details thereof, and both
have registered their disappointment
at the latest turn of events.
1t would be impossible to try to
summarize public opinion. The first
view reflected by the newspapers
was that America had gone back on
her agreement. Later advices from
Washington, however softened this
feeling.
A question much debated is wheth-
ed it will be possible to carry on the
league without America, how far
American example would influence
other nations. which have not yet
committed themselves, to keep out
of the league, and whether the South
American governments would follow
the lead of the United States.

many of the largest insurance COM
panies here have Decided not to
issue any more specific liquor poll
cies. it was learned to-day. A gen.
eral household policy, however, still
covers liquor.
Since the prohibition law has been
in effect, reports to some companies
show that burglars have ignored jew
elry. cut glass and fine linen in pref
erence to wine. brandy and whisky.
Another phase of the problem was
presented by one company official
who said 1--WE must be satisfied that
the liquor was stolen and not con-
sumed at party or by employees i'll

Claims for losses also have been
inflated, officials said, and case was
cited of one policyholder who
