TORTURING
 RHEUMATISM

the blood deposits the uric acid into the joints, and slowly the natural fluids are dried up and destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious.
 It is then that this poison in the blood has sapped the strength. The weakened blood has allowed poison and lmpur- ities to accumulate, leaving the sufferer with all energy gone.
 Scientists have discovered that the forest and field are abundantly supplied with yege- tation of various kinds, that furnish the ingredients for making a remedy for orpractical- ly every i'll and ailment of man. kind. Medicines made from roots, herbs and barks which Nature has placed at the dis posal of man, are better than strong mineral mixtures and connections. Mineral medi- cines work dangerously on the delicate parts of the system, especially the stomach and bowels, by eating out the lining membrane, producing chronic dyspepsia and, often entirely running the health.
 s. s. s. is guaranteed to be purely vegetable remedy. It is made entirely of gentle-acting, healing, purifying roots, herbs and barks, possessing proper ties that build up all parts of the system, in addition to re- moving all impurities and poisons from the blood. s. s. s. is a safe treatment for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scro- fula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases and all disorders of the blood. It cleanses the en- tire system and it's permanent. s. s. s. is a standard remedy recognized everywhere as the greatest blood antidote >ever discovered. If yours is pc culiar case, we invite you to write our Medical Department for full information and advice about the>,treatment for which there is no charge.

WAR RENEWAL LIKELY
 Rv Assoejated Press

London, January 15.-The Central News declares that as result of the allied discussions in Paris the whole aspect of demobilization has undergone a sudden and vital change this being shown in the drastic conditions de- manded of Germany for a renewal of the armistice.
 "On authority of an unimpeachable character" says the Central News, 1t can be stated that a situation exists In Europe under which war may break out again at any moment. The allied war council has arrived at a decision which means that the British people have mistaken the appearance of peace for reality. This decision means that the new British ministry must revise the whole scheme of army demobiliza- ton.
 "The decision is that Great Britain, in proportion to it's military strength, must maintain an army of occupation on the Rhine for many years. II the rapid increase in demobiliZatlon re- gently announced were continued, there would in a few months be no army in France to undertake the obligations which, by common decision of the al lies, have been placed upon British shoulders"

If you will get it fixed in your mind that Rheumatism is a blood disease and cannot be cured by local treatment, you will then by proper treatment begin to get the permanent re- lief you have been seeking for so many years.
 In this article we want to ex- plain to you the cause of this most painful of all diseases, also offer suggestions, founded on reason and long years of ex- perience, which will enable you to secure the right treat ment if you are afflicted with any of the various forms of Rheumatism.
 [ Rheumatism is a specific blood fermentation, souring of the circulation from an ex- cess of uric acid accommodating in the blood stream. This uratic impurity comes usually as a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stomach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct effect on the eliminative members of the body, which prevents the proper removal of the waste products. This ref use remains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric acid, which the blood quickly absorbs.
 Rheumatism>is usually man. ifested in the joints and mus cles. It is here it's sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and stiffening of fragments and ten dons first commence. The pain of Rheumatism is caused by the contact of the sensory nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes to ac- cumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiffening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly

THE BIRDS CHRISTMAS TREE.

To make birds Christmas tree,
take an evergreen, II possible, but any
kind Of tree will do IL you tie sheaves
Of wheat, corn-stalks and evergreen
branches all over it to make 1t dense.
II it Is large tree, plant 1t securely
in partially protected place. A small
er tree can be put on the feeding shelf
outside your window. Hang on it wire
baskets filled with suet, boxes with
fronts removed, containing nut meats,
millet, sunfower-seeds, wheat, cracked
corn, bread-crumbs. rolled oats, etc.
Coconut shells cut In half and filled
with dainties that the birds love can
also be hung. from the branches. Have
several shelves on which place apples,
lettuce, cabbage and vegetables.
In all cold districts, have at least
one or two deep boxes almost filed
with cotton where the half-frozen birds
can find shelter and warmth. Many
birds suffer from thirst during the win
ter. Heat brick or large stone and
place pan Of water on 1t.

WHERE SANTA WAS BORN
Russian Legend Of Saint Klaus and
How He Came to BE Known NO
the chiIdren's Friend.

Very many years ago there lived In
Russia q nobleman and his wife, who
had little son named Klaus. He was
such a good boy that everyone used to
call him Saint Klaus. In course Of
time his parents died and left him
large fortune, not the least part Of
which was three large bars of gold.
Saint Klaus one day happened to be
passing a house, and overheard a
father telling his daughters that he
had lost all his money, and that he
didn't even know how he was going
to buy food for them. This worried
Saint Klaus very much, and he won
dered how he could help them. So
that night he took one of the bars of
gold and threw it through the window.
The next night. he threw the second
bar, and crept quietly away, but on
the third night when he was about to
throw the third bar, the man who
had lost all his money came out and
caught him. He tried to thank Saint
Klaus for his goodness to him and his.
daughters, but Saint Klaus told him
to pay his thanks to God, whose serv-
ant he was.
