The evidence brought by a 81 Jo-

NJ Stockhausen, the engineer, told
the police during the investigation
that he made an agreement with the

FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES

germ in the blood, which null
tiplies by the million, and until
these germs are routed from the
blood. you can see how futile
local treatment will be. In fact.
you can rub with liniments and
use lotions by the gallon and
never hope to reach the cause
of your trouble.
So many people have found
real permanent relief from
their rheumatism by the use of
S. S. S. that its use is justified
in practically every case. Ger
tainly if your rheumatism is due
to a germ in the blood, as so
many thousands of cases are,
you should lose no time in be-
ginning the use of S. S. s.. be-
cause you can rely upon this
fine old blood remedy to do you
more good than any other treat
ment.
S. S. S. is beneficial in rheu-
matism because it is such a
thorough blood medicine. 1t
cleanses the blood Of all impuri-
ties. and eradicates the germs
which cause rheumatism. The
wonderful results it has accom-
plished in other cases is proof
of its great merit. S. S. S. has

Then You VIII Be Able to
Treat 1t Intelligently.

The medical profession has
not yet fully determined all of
the causes of rheumatism,
though they are pretty well
agreed on two points.
The first is that the disease is
more than a mere local trouble.
that the pangs of pain come
from a source that is far below
the surface. and therefore it is
not reasonable to expect any "a
tional relief from a treatment
that is locally applied and
reaches only the surface.
When you realize the logic of
this conclusion, you will see that
you are really wasting your time
and money if you are expecting
any permanent relief from the
use of liniments. lotions. and
other locally applied treatment,
which can only reach the sur
face. and have no effect what
ever upon the origin of your
trouble.
Any disease should be treat
ed at its source, and especially
one that causes as much suffer.
ing as rheumatism. For what
you want is not mere temporary
relief from the torturing pang:
of pain. which will promptly re.
turn with renewed severity. The
only treatment worth while i.
one that will show some pro
gress toward getting at tn,
source of the disease. and free
ing the victim from its shackles

ical profession has agreed upon

The dropping OF Jewels worth
s2,O00,O 900 into Sweden from an
aeroplane conceded with the
arrangements made by a Ger
man countess and an engineer
to receive them.
The name of the prince OF
Wied. ex-king of Albania, has
been strangely mixed up with
the affair. The countess disap-
peared after the booty had been
seized by the customs officials.
1t is believed that the object
was TO sell the jewels and de-
vote the proceeds to the spread
OF German or bolshevik poll
tical propaganda.
From n Correspondent in Sweden.
Jewels do not fall every day from
heaven. It is not surprising, there
fore, that when parcels containing
jewellery and old Brussels lace were
dropped not far from the Swedish
custom station Of Trelleberg. a SEN
sation In Stockholm followed.
These jewels from the air did not
come unexpectedly to the recipients.
AnXiously awaiting them were an
engineer, Karl Won Stockhausen. and
a German countess, Solms- Widen
fels. a relative of the ex-king OF
Saxonia..
They had made careful prepare
tions to get the precious booty. They
spread sheet near the place where
the aeroplane was expected TO pass.
and when they got their windfall
they packed the parcels Immediate
ly into their haversacks ard turned
toward home.
They were, however. observed by
customs officials and arrested before
they could get completely away.
At the time il was regarded as
an ordinary smuggling affair. inter
esting. perhaps. because for the first
time the airway was employed, and.
secondly, because of the social
standing of the smugglars.
When Parcels We're Opened.
The sensational part of the bust
ness revealed itself, however, when
the parcels were opened. Beautiful
necklaces. gold, silver, and precious
stones old precious lace came one
after the other before the eyes of
the astonished officials.
The total value Of the parcels was
later on calculated 70 be no less
than seven million kroner (aobut
S2,0OO,OO0).
Then the question arose as TO who
was the owner OF the treasures. NJ

Attorney General William LANCER
won bloodless victory over the fed
eral railway administration yesterday
when he received wire from
Charles Donnelley of st. Paul, per
sonal counsel to Director General
Walker D. Hines advising that the
latter had signif1ed his intention Of
Immediately complying with North
Dakotas eight-hour law as applied to
women and minors.
The eight-hour law became effect
i've July /, having been passed by the
sixteenth assembly. The federal rail
way administration, which employs
two or three thousand women and
girls in its railway shops. express
freight and passenger Offices and in
its operating department, politely
ignored the act. Attorney General
LANCER, who insists that a states po'
lice powers are sovereign so long as
they do not conflict with the prose
cution of war in any other national
emergency, brought this oversight to
the attention of the federal railway
administration through the medium
of an action which he inaugurated In
the North Dakota supreme court the
first Of this week asking that the
railways be served with writ OF
mandamus.
A copy of the attorney generals
petition was served upon Walker D.
Hines, as director general, and it has
apparently taken immediate effect
Mr.. Donnelley yesterday advised the
attorney general that steps will he
taken at once to enforce the eight
hour law for women and children on
all the North Dakota carriers con
trolled and operated by the federal
government and Mr.. LANCER advised
the personal counsel for the director
general that the action in the North
Dakota supreme court would be with.
drawn.
The attorney general has pending
against Director General Hines two
other important actions. One of these
demands compliance with the dis
tance tariff law enacted at the last
session Of the legislature and would
result in reduction Of about so per
cent in all freight rates. The other
asks that the railway administration
be enjoined to enforce the full crew
act passed by the sixteenth assembly
and which would, in most instances
require the employment of one more
man than is now carried on freight
and passenger trains operated in
North Dakota.

COMMISSION NOT
TO CHECK DIRECT
ON WORKER FUNDS
Attorney General Contends That
Warrants Must Be Drawn
by State Auditor

In answer to a request from State
Treasurer Olson, custodian of the
workmen's compensation fund, the
attorney generals office has handed
down an opinion that the workmen's
compensation commission cannot
check directly against this fund as IL
would were it a private account, but
that accounts must be paid through
regular state warrants drawn by the
state auditor.
The attorney general quotes Sec
1856 of the constitution providing that
no money shall be paid out of the
state treasury except on appropria
ton by law or on warrants drawn by
the proper officer, and Sec. GAL, c.
l.. 1913, which DEGREES that money
shall be paid from the state treasury
only on order of the auditor.
The attorney generals office holds
that the authorization of vouchers by
the workmen's compensation commits
sion amounts only to approval by
this board, and that warrants on the
fund can actually be drawn only by
the state auditor.
