Both of them had come from the East,

Economic Blockade Leagues Chief
Wespon

New York. Sept 22-One of the
most important matters to be con-
sidered by the Assembly of the
League of Nations, when it meets at
Geneva. November Is. will be the
creation of the machinery to enable
the League to use, in case of neces-
sity. the economic and financial
blockade provided in Article XVI of
the Covenant. against any member of
the League violating certain provis-
IONS of the Covenant Recent dis
patches from Europe indicate that
the trainers of the Permanent Court
OF international Justice look to the
Economic Blockade as the Weapon
upon which the League will place its
chief reliance to enforce the de-
cisions of the Court.
Immediate consideration of this
subject, according to statement
from the Secretariat of the League
received here by the League to En-

assisted by knowledge of the pro

a general uniformity in the legisla

of the different states would assure

Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James Fl. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless

free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated Impurities commonly called
uric acid deposit were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and
quickly and completely banished
every sign and symptom of rheuma-
tism from his system
He freely gave his discovery to
others no took it, with what might
be called marvellous success After
years OF urging he decided to let suf-
