RHEUMATISM
CAN NOT BE CURED

Aug ], 1919.
"A few years ago | suffered from severe
attack OF articular Rheumatism that rem
dered me almost helrless BY the Use Of
the usual external remedies ] was able TO
check the pain somewhat but did not re-
gain the full use OF my limbs. and on cloudy
days or when exposed to dampness or cold
! would Immediately suffer from stif and
aching Joints. ] began To take 8. 8. s. and
all symptoms at once began to disappear,
until now have no fear of exposure 10 the
worst sort Of weather. ! feei it my duty TO
recommend s. s. 8. to all who wish TO free
themselves from the torturing clutches Of
Rheumatism.
Physicians now agree that many
forms of Rheumatism are caused
by a germ in the blood. The pain
is not the disease itself. but merely
symptom-nature's warning to
you that you have been attacked.
The only intelligent treatment,
therefore, is through the blood;
treatment directed toward eliminat-
ing the disease germ from the blood.
For years nearly all the prescrip-
tons used by the medical profes-
sion were those containing iodide
of potash or mercurial substances,
but in nearly every case these min
erals are more injurious to the sys-
TEN than the disease itself.
One reason why S. SIS. is so
successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism and other blood disor-
ders is the fact that it is a purely
vegetable remedy. being made from
roots and herbs gathered direct
from the forests. 1t contains not a
particle of mineral substance, and
acts by driving disease germs from
the blood and cleansing it of all
impurities. S. S. S. has been on
the market for fifty years. and al
most every druggist has sold it ever
since he has been in business. 1t is
sold under an absolute guarantee
that it is purely vegetable.
Our medical department is main
tanned for the benefit of the afflict-
ed. and if you will write fully about
your case you will be given com
plete advice as to the treatment
necessary for your individual case.

AUSTRIAN AND GERMAN PEACE TERMS.

Austria pleads for clemency ac-
knowledging her guilt. Germany
threatens and busters refusing TO
throw herself upon the mercy Of the
court with a plea u guilty.
The Austrian people are behind the
Austrian plea. They are thru with the
Hapsburgs. They know how they
were brought into the warI against
their will. The Austrians did not
want war. Her leaders were the tolls
of German intrigue. Austria was a
vassal Of Germany. The Hapsburgs
were the vassals of the Hohenzollerns.
The Austrian people know this.
Crushed between the upper and low
ed milIstones they most of all desire
peace on any terms that will permit
them to work and live and seek happi-
ness again.
Germany. however, upon whom the
shame and criminal intent OF the war
raests take a very different attitude
toward the angry and injured world.
There is little in the attitude of that
country to convince that she is sorry
except that she failed in her stipend
Gus scheme Of conquest. There is little
to convince that she is done with the
Hohenzollerns, She comes before the
tribunal, not as a confessed and repent
ant criminal but with special pleas and
tricky technicalities like a caught
burglar or murderer seeking escape
thru the wiles of trained and un-
scrumpulous attorneyship. She profits
by delay She pleads the fourteen
points. she threatens uprisings, bob
shevisIn, accepting dictated peace
by the terms of the armistice ~she
strives to negotiate. And she is the
arch criminal the man higher up.
Austria was the fall guy"
While concessions might be made to
Austria it is not readily to be seen how
permanent peace can endure without
repentance and confession by Germany
except by putting 1t out of the power
of that people TO reestablish itself as
political and military power for at
least two generations. Austria is a dit-
ferent matter Her attitude is differ

THE. THIRD TERM THREAT.


President Wilson has Sought 10
override precedent. 1t hasNhecn MS
chief executive method. II" is the
first president for more than century
to deliver his MESSAGES to congress
in person He insisted on breaking
a precedent in the declaration Of Ear
against Germany by having the reso-
luton declared that a state of war
exists between the United States anu
the German empire" He broke an
other precedent I'm being, in fact. his
own forengn minister. lie broke all
pTeCedents when he uri. the national
capital and went into \ foreign coun-
try. He increased the break in that
precedent by becoming sAlf-appeint-
ed member OF the pea - commission.
These are sufficient 20 indicate that
the president does not feel himself
bound by any theories established and
observed by his predecessors.
What, then. would NC tle pTssl-
dents attitude toward three consecu-
tive nominations and til. possibility OF
filling three terms OF office? The rec
brds of his party are 7vorth something
in reaching conclusion on this point
The democratic rs convention .whien
nominated him az baltimore in 1872
declared emphatically against Sec
ond term for the president. The plank
on this subject follows:
We favor single presidential
term. and to that end urge the adop-
ton Of an amendment 10 the constitu-
ton making the president OF the
United states ineligible to election
and we pledge the candidate Of this
convention to this principle"
Such was the princirl4 to which his
party pledged him in his first term
yet he did not hesitate - accept a
second nomination. nor, did MS
friends hesitate u shape conditions
so that his nomination would he GER
tain. The Limitation declared. in the
party platform may have beer the re-
suit Of defeated aspirations. Men may
have urged Il because the wanted a
chance at the nomination. in 1915. But
whatever the motives f%r~ the promul-
cation Of the doctrine, the principle
was treated as e German treaty obi
cation in 1915. There is no reason 10
believe. with the record Of the presi-
dent as a guide. thacShe would hesi-
tate to accept third consecutive
nomination so far as the restrictions
Of precedent and party platform
pledges are concerned.

It would not seem so. unless he hopes

the euture?" win prices continue to
climb. or. will there be a reactionf
Are we now. or will we soon be. at the
high water mark?
The answers to these important
queries vary with different people, but
the concensus OF opinion liz that prices
of land will continue TO go up. There
are good reasons for believing this to
he true. One of the best reasons liz the
precedent furnished by other years.
One Glidden man told us the other day.
that his father had sold one OF the fin
est half sections In Gliddcn township
at $45 an acre on the express convic-
ton that 1t would be impossible for
the prices to go any. higher than that.
The same farm today is worth $3.50
an acre. Hundreds upon hundreds Of
similar instances could be related. In
fact. those who refuse to believe that
land will sell for $500 an acre in this
community five years from now are
fewer than those who refused to be-
lieve, twenty years ago, that II could
never be worth 500. People are learn
ing from precedent, and precedent
goes TO indicate that land values will
continue 10 iiso.
There is another very sound reason
for believing that the high level has
not nearly been reached in Iowa land
values. Nine farmers out OF ten are
farmers and nothing else. They have
no interest In factories or stock COM
panies. They will not put their money
into such things. And every, farmer Is
making money-more money than ne
has any immediate use for. what does
ne naturally do? He buys more land.
He puts the money into farms in MS
vicinity. where his interests are ana
where he knows it is safe and as gooa
as a government bond. IL. then, there
is lively competition in securing farms
the prices are bound TO be high. Inc
farmer with money to invest isnt go
ing to stop TO figure how great per
cent he can get on. his investment III
$500 or $500 land. He knows IL Is gooo
and he can make money on II, ana
that's enough. = N r..
The present high prices Of farm pro-
ducts, OF course are closely associated
with the rising values OF land. Wheh
the prices go down to anyways near
the pre-war level and stay that way
for any length OF time the price, Oh
land is sure to go down, too. But there
Is no assurance that prices of farm
products will ever go, to their pre-war
level There is every reason to believe,
that they will remain practically as
they are for many years. That applies
equally as we'll to the prices OF all
other commodities. re might as well
adjust ourselves to the new order OF
things. And we might as well prepare
for $500 land.
