Aches and Pains of rheumatism
Sometimes Almost Unbearable.

There are weather conditions that
make rheumatism worse. They are
not the same in the cases of all per-
sons. Some victims of this disease
suffer more in dry warm weather
than in moist cold weather, but all
suffer more or less all the time.
The cause of rheumatism is an ex-
cess of uric acid in the blood, affect
ing the muscles and joints. Hence
the blood must have attention for
permanent results in the treatment Of
this disease.

THIS LEAGUE OR NONE

st. Paul Pioneer Press-Its passage
by the peace conference places the
covenant officially before the Ameri-
can people. There is no doubt of the
senate's right to amend the treaty be-
fore ratifying it, and probably there
would be no objection in other nations
to the recasting in clear language of
the confused paragraphs pointed out
above. Amendment in vital particu-
lars, however, might seriously i'm
peril the entire project. France, for
example, doubtless regards Article X
as little enough recognition of the
problem Of her future security. and be-
fore wholesale amendment is under
taken tn esenate must consider care
fully whether the objections-mani-
fest as they are-are sufficiently i'm
portant to risk destruction of the
league in curing them. The Pioneer
Press is much inclined to the belief
that the better course would be to ac-
cept the document with all it's imper-
f%ections, if amendment is impractical
BILE, and give it a trial. We may al
ways withdraw from it with honor if
we find it to our serious disadvantage.
And what is the alternative? Every
nation for itself and the devil take
the hindmost! Vast ornaments, huge
laboratories for the invention and per-
lection of even more devilish contrap-
lions of val than the world is yet &C
quainted with; crushing burdens Of
taxation and, finally, the revolution Of
oppressed peoples. These are the al
ternatives we must keep in mind in
