CUl.EO HIS
 RHEUMATISM! !

T am eighty-three years old and l doctored for rheumatism ever since l came out of the army. over 50 years ago. Like many others, I spent money freely for so-called cures and I have read about Uric Acid until I could almost taste it. I could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff I could not hold a pen. But now I am again in active business and can walk with ease or write all day with com fort. Friends are surprised at the change" You might just as well at tempt to put out a fire with oil as try to get rid of rheumatism. neuritis and like complaints by taking treat ment supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. It took MT. Ashelnan fifty years to find out the truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheuma- tism, other disorders and recover his streng h from '"'he Inner Mysteries now being distributed free by an au- thortty who devoted over twenty yea S 10 the scientific study of this trouble.

ZONE SYSTEM
 SURE THING ALDERMAN SAYS
lCon,inued from Page Onel

(Conjnued from Page One) that was to send protests to other Connecticut cities.
 He claims that the committee has not even formulated any definite plan of action in protesting this measure beyond waiting for replies from the cities to which they have written.
 It is the plan of the Mayors Com Tnittee now to form a protest union among the cities Of the state hit by the zone rate and have them protest to the commission and send repre- sontatives to a hearing which will be held.
 Asked what the city intended to do about it if the rate went into effect Afr. McAfanus could give no definite reply. The question of extending the jitney service vas brought up and MT. MCAIanus said that was up to the Police Commissioners as they had the matter entirely within their hands.
 As far as could be learned today no attempt will be made by the rnanufa cturers of Bridgeport to pro- test in behalf of the thousands in their employ. The mayors commit tee. has not taken the matter up with them and MT. McManus stated that no such course was planned.
 While it is a well known fact that the New Jersey zone system failed and rios resulted during it's regime, the mayors committee and the police have made no plans to take care Of a similar situation in this city.
 Troleynen say that they are re- ceiving daily coaching as to the work ing system and few like it any bet ter than those who are forced to ride and pay the rates. Asked if the trolleynaen's union would take the matter up and protest, carmen ad- mitted that such a course might be taken in New Haven, but said there was no such plan in Bridgeport.

GERMAN MOTHER
 SEEKS SON IN
 AMERICAN ARMY
Mrs. Wedemann Appeals To "Caseys" In Hunt for Boy
 Who Disappeared.

More than three years ago when outside world through the war, Mrs Ely Wedemann, of Ham burg re- ceiyed a letter from her son stationed at Las Cascades, Camp Otis, Panama Canal, where he was a private with the Tenth Infantry, Company NJ. The boy whom she describes in a letter to the Knights of Columbus from Germany, ''as the best boy in the world" is Hans Willy Paul Wede- mann. In the letter which was the last word his mother ever received from him, the boy told his mother he was in the American army and very happy, and that he expec,ed to be sent to the Thirty-Third Infantry.
 Mrs. Wedemann's letter was turned over to Leo BegIey, director of the hnights of Columbus bureau for m ss- ing soldiers, at No. Il Fourth ave- nue, New York City. The mother said in her letter: ''Wont you please assist heartbroken mother here in Germany to find the best boy in the world, whom 1 last heard from when he was private in Company M, 10th Infantry, |. g. A, Regulars and in July 1916 was stationed at Panama Canal, Gas Cascdes- Camp O,is). At that time my boy said he was ex- pecting to be transferred to the Thirty-Thtrd Infantry, but I do not know as I never heard from him again. I am heartbroken. At pres ent in Germany all of the mothers and sisters of the soldiers have heard from their men folks who have been with the armies. But, I have not heard from my boy-who is with the Americans. Can you please find him ?
 q have heard from the soldiers about the Knights of Columbus, and therefore am sending this letter to you, hoping that you can find my son. His full name is Hans Willy Paul Wedemann. and I have so much to tell him. I will appreciate any In- formation you can give me about him. Mrs. Ely Wedemann, 3S Fins Cutler strasse, Hamburg No. 4, Ger many"
 The Knights have taken the case up with the war department at Washington and corresponded with the commanding officers of both the Tenth and Thirty-Third Regiments of Infantry. They have also cabled to their secretaries both at Panama and Colon on the Canal Zone where they maintain extensive recreatHonal 'en- tres. If we get any news of the boy" said MT. Begley, ''I shall cable to his mother the information"

MAYOR ISSUES A
 PROCLAMATION ! ON ROOSEVELT DAY

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson this morning issued a proclamation call ing on the city to observe next Mon- day as Roosevelt day in honor of the late President.
 The proclamation follows:
 In these all-im portant days follow ing the great war it is necessary for every American to spread the gos- pei of true Americanism in every way possible.
 There never was a time when America and Americanis1n stood for so much and meant so much to the world as they do today. It is most fitting that we should observe the birthday of one who was, perhaps, the grea test American of his time, by directing our thoughts to his actiyi- ties, exhortations and accomplish ments for America and his fellow citizens. October 27th is the birth day of our late President, Theodore Roosevelt, and I recommend a gen. eral observance of this day by ap- propriate exercises in the public schools and the display generally of our National flag and in other ways that will show our deep regard for the man and for his services to our country.
 Let us all realize with him:
 we have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization"

Miners Strike looms More Menacing Than
 Ever.

Washington, Oct. 25 - The nation took stock of its coal bins today, for a strike of 50o,000 miners in the chief bitunlinous feds Iooned up six days distant more menacing han ever be- fore
 All apparent hope of av-rttng the strike, set for November 1-the eve of winter-vanishe last nigh. when Secretary Wilson's four days confer ence " th the scale comInit,e ,ees Of the miners and operators broke up des- pite the appeal of President Wilson from his sick bed to them to brush aside the old animostties and start negotiations anew with arbitration as a last resort.
 Representative of the miners and th3 operators today continued to charge each other with having caus- ed the ending of negotiations But the fact remains that instructions were going out today to all locals of the United Mine Workers of America to suspend work at midnight next Friday.
 Government officials. confronted by the greater seriousness of the situa- tion, renewed their request for some means of preventing the walkout which will close operations in the great coal fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio West Virginia. Indiana and H. linois Further attempt at negotia- tion seemed hopeless to most officials. In some quarters the opinion was eX- pressed that President Wilson yet might find a way to prevent human suffering and industrial disaster incl dent to such a strike. It was pointed out that under the war time national defense act, sti'l in effect. the pres fdent had the power to take over the mires and compel their operation.
 While the operators accepted the Presidents proposal, made in a mes sace conveyed to them through Sec re ary Wilson, the miners agreed only to negotiate the disputed questions and held over for consideration the 'wo other proposals, namely. that the controversies be submitted to arbitra- iGn if negotiations fail and that the n res be kept in operation pending the negotiations.
 F mates today as to how long the coa' steak of the nation would last variad. but the average figure placed the reserve at little more than one months supply.
