Then You Will Be Able to
Treat 1t Intelligently.

The medical profession has not yet
1u,iv determined ali of the causes of
rheumatism, though they are pretty
eell agreed on two points
The first Is that the disease is
more than a mere local trouble, that
the pangs OF pain come from
source that is far below the surface,
and therefore II is not reasonable to
expect any rational relief from
treatment that is locally applied and
reaches only the Gurface.
hen you realize The logic Of this
conclusion, you Viii see that you are
really wasting your time and money
If you are expecting any permanest
relief from the use Of Iiniments. To-
tior and other locally applied treat
nlent, which can only reach the sur
face. and have no effee, whatever
upon the origin of your trouble.
Any disease should be treated at
lie source. and especially one that
causes as much suffering as rheurns-
sisna For what you want is not mere
temporary relief from the tor;uring
pangs OF pain, which Will promptly
return with renewed severity. The
only treatment worth while is one
hat Will show some progress toward
getting at the source Of the disease,
and freeing the victim from its
shaekies

XMAS EXERCISES TO

Plans for the greatest publit

Richmond are being rapidly formu-
lated by Ed. Shumway, local director
Of the War Camp Community Services.
The w. c. c. s. Is taking the active
part in mapping out the program,
hut every organization in the city
will be asked to cooperate to make
the undertaking a huge success. The
IDEA, as expressed by Mr.. Shumway.
II to extend tho Christmas celeDra-
ton to every section OF the city.
In former years, Richmond has
gathered at the big community
Christmas tree in the old Ford let.
opposite the City Hall. No plans
have been made for this year. The
W. G. G. s. idea has been presented
to but one organization at the present
time, but the Royal Arcanum was 30
enthusiastic in its instant approval
that Mr. Shumway feels entirely con-
f'oent of the hearty support OF every
civic and patriotic association In the
city.
Christmas trees will be placed in
various parts of the East End. the
West End. North Side and South
side Seventeenth street will have
it's celebration on as big scale as
will the Boulevard.
The most spectacular feature of the
pr ogram will be the gigantic Christ
mas tree. electrically lighted. which
will be placed on an island in the
middle of the jams. 4 large COM
nunity chorus will be gathered
around the tree and the voices OF the
singers chanting Christmas carols
will be heard on both sides OF he
river.
In or5a. IN roalse the undertaking
q complete success in every section OF
the city. the w. G.. c. S. must have
song leaders. A good singing voice Is
not necessary, the only requirements
being an ear for music and the lack
OF leadership. Ono hunrded of these
leaders are urgently needed. Those
