utilities having less than two weeks

and power, water, gas, transportation
and heat from central heating sta
tons were called" on by the COM
mission to exercise the greatest care

Much Rheumatism
Local Druggists No-Cure-No-Pay Offer
Attracts Many-Sufferers.

If there are any rheumatic sufferers
who have not availed themselves OF
this generous offer they should do SO
at once.
Our best druggists state that If
Rheuma. the guaranteed prescription
for rheumatism in any form, does not
give any purchaser quick and joyful
relief they are authorized by the
Rheuma Co. to return the cost without
any quibbling or red tape.
Rheumatism is a dangerous disease,
and anyone who has the slightest
faint of it should drive it out OF the
system as quickly as possible. This
is what Rheuma did for many. 1t
should do as much for YOU.
Il have been laid up for one year
with chronic arthritis,' says one suf-
ferer, II had doctors galore, also
spent four months in a sanitarium,
but had practically no relief. Then l
started taking Rhauma. Now l can
go without clutches or other aid,
which l could not do for the last nine
months. ! highly recommend it and
would gladly answer any questions
asked on receipt Of stamp for post
age Thomas H. Eddy, Schuylerville,
y. Y.
Rheuma is absolutely harmless and
thoroughly reliable because it is one
discovery that has forced rheumatism
TO yield and disappear. 1t is not eX-
penSive and it is recommended by
good druggists everywhere.-Adv

SPARGO ON BOLSHEyISM.

The American Legioh this week con-
tains an article on Bolshevism in
which the writer sums up rs follows:
"The rule OF the Bolsheviki has
been maintained thus far over a very
considerable part of Russia, princi-
pally European Russia, by methods
precisely like those used by the Car
list regime. No more brutally tyran-
ical government has existed anywhere
In the world in modern times. Not
only this, but under this rule the ec6-
nomic life Of Russia has been almost
utterly ruined. Russia is today a well
tering chaos.
These. then, are the broad and
salient facts concerning this new form
OF despotisni whose strident challenge
is heard in every civilized land. A
lot Of muddle-headed romanticists
possessing no sense of the terrible
realities of the social problem, who
had they happened to live in Russia
would be shot or impisoned, are Civ.
ing voice to this challenge. It is the
solemn duty Of every sincere and in.
telligent American to face the chal
lence and answer 1t. Neither moi
law nor repressive and punitive legis
lation will avail anything: czsrisn
long ago exhausted the possibilitie.
of these in its vain attempt to crush
out the revolutionary spirit. We ca,
only fight Bolshevism Intelligent,
and efficiently with intelligence. Th,
way to fight it's propaganda agains
it is a counter er-propaganda in defcns
of democracy"

in accordance with tho motto. LET
the buyer beware" There were indi-
viduals, thousands Of them, who ap-
Piled very rigid standards to their
own business conduct, but this was
an individual matter. and man might
perpetrato sharp tricks in business, or
connive ct their perpetration by 9th.
ers, and not lose caste.
That time has gone by. Tho bust.
nezs world has set up certain STAN
dards of honor and fair dealing, and
the individual cannot depart very far
from those standards without losing
his business standing. The newer
conception of business ethics is re-
flected very clearly in the handling
Of tho enormous volume Of the coun-
try's advertising.
The Pan Motor case attained ma
:ional notoricty some months ago.
following an expose of t>the stock SELL
ing methods of the company through
q report issued by the National Vigi-
lance Committee Of the Associated
Advertising Clubs Of tho World. In
that report it was shown that half
OF the money paid for stock went to
Pandolfo, and that all the affairs Of
the concern were being conducted in
such a manner that the stock pur-
chasers were certain to lose their
money. The criminal trial followed,
and the jury convicted Pandolfo.
The advertising agencies which
participated in this exposure had no
purpose to serve except that of sup
pressing, fraudulent advertising. They
are business agencies, but they realize
that good business and sound ethics
belong together and cannot be sepa-
rated. AS proposition in practical
business they know that fraudulent
advertising in general, hence they
make it their business to drive fraud
ulent advertising out Of the field.
The advertising business of the
country is now on better basis than
ever before in its history, and it is
constantly improving. The country
will never be free from frauds, and
some of these will find ways to place
their proposals before the public
through reputable agencies which ac-
ccpt their business in good fajth.. But
when once the fraudulent nature of an
! advertisement is understood, no ad-
vertising agency of standing will han
die it, and no publication of standing
will accept it.
