Over Rheumatism

Discoverer Tells Druggists Not to

All Rheumatic Palms and Twinges.
Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the accu.
INFLATED impurities. commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fin.
ally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took 1t, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years OF urging he decided to let suf
ferers everywhere know about his dis
cover through the newspapers. Your
druggist has been appointed agent
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that he will freely re-
turn the purchase money to all who
state they received no benefit.-Adv.

U. S. BOXERS NOT
IN FRENCH FIGHTS

United States boxing enthusiasts
are awaiting with interest the out
come of the meeting Of the Internal
ional Boxing Union to be held in
Paris on February 8. Unless there ts
an eleventh hour shift In sentiment,
the United States will not be repre-
scented formally, II at all. AS q con-
sequence II Is doubtful II any of the
amateur organizations OF this country
or the professional promoters will feel
obligated to observe regulations which
may arise from such conference.
As composed at the present time
the union consists Of French. English,
Swiss and Belgian boxing organize
lions. who under the initiative of the
French, have been working on an In
ternational association plan since
1910, when the French Boxing Fed
Grafton attempted to convene an in
ternational conference to discuss the
many crude angles of the glove game.
Neither the English nor the American
authorities showed any enthusiasm.
In 1918 another meeting was held
and the following year the !. B. U.
was officially organized, according to
the French. with the following coun-
tries represented, either, officially or
Informally: France Federation Fran.
caise de Boxe); England (National
Sporting club; United States (New
York state boxing commission); Bel
GUM Federation Beige de Boxe);
Switzerland Federation Suisse de
Boxe); Argentine Republic (Boxing
club of Buenos Aires), and tho Aus
tralian Boxing Federation.
During the war there was no activ-
ity on the part of the international
Union, but with the signing of the
armistice the French proposed a re-
vival of the organization, with the
result that the meeting in Paris next
month was called to consider new
rules, weight classifications and other
details necessary to the readjustment
and improvement of the sport. In the
meantime, however, the American
army, navy and civilian board OF box
ing central was formed in this country
and a new code prepared to super
sede the Marquis of Queensbury rules.
This code was sent abroad for sub.
mission and suggestions to the Eng
lish and French boxing authorities.
It Is the hope OF those who spent
weeks upon the revision of tn rules
that the new regulations will prove
acceptable as the basis Of universal
boxing code. There are so many radi-
cal differences between the English
French and American systems OF
awarding boxing decisions, however
that many ares keptical regarding the
outcome.

Roger Peckinpaugh.

"A ball player can't get going in his
home town." to paraphrase an old
adage. At least, the case Of Roger
Peckinpaugh bears out that belief.
Roger has been one of the scintil
lating stars of the Yankee outfit for
several seasons and last season de-
veloped tendency to clean the bases
with home runs despite the fact that
his normal batting average is about
$50.
Peckinpaugh is a native of Cleve-
land. went to school there and played
ball there until the Cleveland club
took notice OF him. They gave him the
once over and shipped him to- New
Haven in the Connecticut league.
That was in 1910. They recalled him
the next year for another trial, but
decided he wasn't ripe and sent him
to Portland under an optional agree
ment, recalling him the next season.
His poor hitting and the fact that the
club had plenty of gcyst inf1elders re.
suited in his being traded to New
York in 1918 for Strang and Jack
Lelivelt.
Peck has played short continually
since breaking into the game-except
when switched temporarily on account
Of injuries to other players. New York
took him the minute he arrived there
He played in ninety-six games his
first year there and in 157 the next
season. He has been captain OF the
team for several seasons.
Last year he slammed out seven
home runs and a glance at the home
run colyum will show you that seven
home runs is pretty good in Bans
league-in spite of the fact that Babe
Ruth picked twenty-nine.

His Body and Health.

Mr.. Robert Cressan, who lives at Al

from stomach disorders, nervousness,

rundown condition of the system. It
is interesting reading. Here it is:
Stomach trouble was undoubtedly
the cause Of my suffering. suffered
all inc pains Of indigestion after every
meal. I also was constipated and had
dizzy spells. I couldn't sleep at night
and was always very nervous. OF
course became greatly rundown and
things looked pretty black for me, but
heard so many people speak highly
Of the new herb remedy, Dreco, and
I saw SO much about it in the news
papers, that decided to give it trial.
took Just one bottle of Dreco, and it
did wonders for me; have never seen
it's equal. One dose Of 1t buoyed me
up wonderfully; I am taking it right
along, and am simply getting along
fine, now. You can add my recon-
mendation to the hundreds of others. !"
Dreco has time and time again
proved its worth in all human ailments,
which had their inception in the
digestive tract. It seems to be just
the right thing for such ailments as
indigestion, gastritis, dyspepsia, bill
iousness, constipation, sleeplessness.
headaches, rheumatism and similar
ills. Dreco is not new tangled pat
ented medicine. 1t is simply a combina-
ton Of roots and herbs put up accord
ing to an old fashioned recipe IN a
modern, scientific way. 1t contains no
dangerous mineral salts, or acids, and
is safe and sure in its action.
Dreco is now sold by all good drug
gists and Is highly recommended in
Richmond by Thistlethwaite's Drug

Former Army Captain
Claims He Served
As German Spy

NEW YORK, Dec. Sensational
disclosures of his mission to this
country as a spy for the German
government, were given in an alleged
confession by John Willers, former
Nv captain of Company 1, Forty
eighth United States infantry, alleg-
ed thief and deserter, after his ar
rest here tonight charged with alb
sconding with $4,000 of his company
funds on December 10, 1913. His
regiment was then stationed at Camp
Sever, Greenville. S. c.
His capture was accidental. He
was crossing Fifth avenue at Forty
Second street near the public library
when Hugh J. Hanigan, formerly a
first lieutenant in Willers' company,
recognized him. Hannigan called
policeman and Willers was arrested.
At a police station the prisoner was
further identified by two other for
mer lieutenants in Company l. Sid
ney P. Howell and Francis Hatch.
WilIers was then taken to Cover
nor's island, headquarters of the
Second army corps, and placed in
confinement at Fort Jay.
Hecited in Brazen Fashion
Willers, the police said, recited
in a braZen fashion how he was sent
to the United States as one OF 300
cadets trained IN the acts of es-
piopage to enlist in the American
army.
On his arrival in the United States
Willers went to Albany, where he
enlisted, he said, as a private. His
military attitude won him rapid
promotion and his knowledge of
English and his ability to speak
like an American enabled him to
obtain a commission.
