More Rheumatism
Than Ever Before
Clergymen, Lawyers, Brokers, Mechan'
les and Merchants Stricken.

Our old friend Rheumatic is having
his inning this year, and few words
of caution from one who knows all
about 1t may not be amiss.
Wear rubbers in damp weather. keep
your feet dry, and avoid alcoholic
drinks.
If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica,
and you have sharp twinges, gnawing
pain or swollen joints or muscles, you
can usually get rid bf all agony in Just
a few days by taking one teaspoonful
of Rheuma once day.
All druggists know about Rheuma {;
it's harmless, yet powerful; cheap, yet
sure and 75-cent bottle will last a
long time. w. l.. Gokay will supply
you with the understanding that II
must rid you of all rheumatic pains
or money back.

muster enough votes to be put through
the Senate.
Some lawyers today gave off-hant
opinions that the bill contains uncon
stitutonal provisions.
The Rev. Mr.. Prettyman and other
advocates OF the Statewide Dry" bill
were told by some members Of the
Legislature who are dry" that they
will not support the bill as introduced
by Representative Klair.
Mr.. Prettyman, when seen by a
representative OF The Evening Journal,
said the Anti-Saloon League represent
atiyes at this time have no idea OF
amending the bill. He does not think
the Dill so drastic as some OF those
who now oppose IL now claim.
Mr.. Prettyman says the prohibition
bill TO be introduced in some States will
be more drastic than the proposed Del
aware act.
The wet" members OF the House
temperance committee TO which the bill
was referred will probably vote 90 re-
port IL fsvorably 10 the House. They
take the attitude tina; II the "dry" ad-
vocates OF the State want an absolute
bone dry" bill now Is their chance
and that they will give them the oppor-
tunity TO put such a bill on the
statute books. There also Is a hint that
the 'wets" expect the courts TO upset
the law II passed In its present form.
One wet" member In discussing the
bill this morning said while he was
thoroughly OF the opinion that the bill
Is unconstitutional as 10 stands, he
added, There is just one amendment
that / would like TO see to the bill
There is a section whereby II a man is
found to have taken a drink or q caught
intoxicated he can be fined and then
placed under 5000 bond not TO take
a drink again. Who would go on any
mans bond to such an amount under
such conditions? 1t simply mems that
unless the courts should step in and re-
lease him. such a man would speAid the
balance OF his life in Jail. ! advoeat, an
amendment 10 put a man in Jail for 20
years who Is caught drinking llnIor
after this law. in case II is passed, goes
into effect
One prominent attorney stated this
morning that the section of the bill
giving an officer the authority 30 make
search without a warrant is unCoubt-
edly unconstitutional. as Il is not in ac-
cordance with the State Constitution.
Farmers are also In some instances
against the present bill on the ground
That 1t Is too stringent, as 1t might in
terfere with the sale Of cider and even
the manufacture Of cider for vinegar.
Although the bill specifies that clder
for vinegar is exempted but also states
hat cider 10 be sold must NOT have
more than i-2 to per cent. Of alcohol
they fear that such a section might
cause trouble for them.
Another feature OF the bill that is
meeting strong objection is that when
would prohibit persons buying specified
patent medicines which are allowed un
de- the Federal pure food act, unless
they have a physicians prescription.
One dry" member stated this morn
ing: Il always have a little Jamaica
ginger In my house and / certainly
would not like 10 be compelled 10 pay

fPICK, tPiN CARS
FOR D.lRBY Line
Splendidly Apo nted Ve-
hicles Used for First
Time Yesterday
NEW EQUIPMENT
TO RUN soon

Four new cars were put In servic,
on the Wilmlngton-Ch -Chester-Darby line
yesterday. the same being part of an
entirely new lot OF % suburban cars
recently secured by the traction com
pany.
AS the operating mechanism Is some
what different from that Of any cars
heretofore ope. ated on the local system
the motormen and conductors must
first become thoroughly familiar with
the new devices before the new cars
are placed In their charge and for this
reason II will require some days 10 In
struct the crews in the proper methods
Of operating the new cars. This will
be accomplished gradually and new
cars added 10 the line as the men be-
come acquainted with the cars.
AS the cars are longer and heavier
than their predecessors, one was taken
over the line last Monday night after
all service had been completed in order
to observe all clearances and other de-
tails pertaining to the operation Of
these cars over this particular route,
but as practically all doubtful points
had been anticipated, there remained
only several platforms TO be raised to
lt the new ears to the; existing track
and roadways.
The new cars make an excellent ap-
pearance, imply an air OF Importance
10 the city and are said to be very COM
Portable TO ride in, which Is attributed
largely TO the fact that the trucks are
patterned after the most approved
design for easy riding.
The contract price per car as prevl-
ously stated, was $4,000 each or about
twice that OF similar cars II bought in
normal times.
A twenty-minute headway win be
operated on the line.

"Unless a reasonable extension shal

administration are that unless Congress
votes an extension. a proclamation will
be Issued In March. turning the roads
back about June 30
Fears OF railroad executives and 9TH
ers that prompt return would result in
chaos and financial loss were secuted
by Hines.
I'VE can only assume a chaotic con-
dit'on by assuming the Interstate Com

form It's functions he explained
Attacking The commissions propose
for increased powers, Hines said pres
ent laws give ample power 10 preserve

meet immediate necessities should gov
ernment operation be abandoned Pre-
war intrasiate rates could be set aside
in favor OF the present higher ones,
Hines believes
Il would advise the President that any

Il believe that unless companies.

create a needless state OF alarm. a reas-

Hines announced his stand on the
question OF government ownership.
Il do not personally believe In gov
eminent ownership" he explained. Il
believe there can be form OF radically
reconstructed private ownership, with
such close government supe Wis on, in
cluding government representation on
boards OF directors. as will give the
public and labor all the benefits OF gov
ernment ownership and at the sane
time avoid the political difficulties
which perhaps are inseparable from
ownership"
Nevertheless, Hines wants a fair test
made.
He wants a small guaranteed return,
enlcient concerns to get part OF profits
earned in excess.
High operating costs were due to the
war, rather than 10 high wages. Charges /
10 the contrary are unfair to railroad
