HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-
dsm are usually the result of failure Of
the kidneys to expel poisons from the
system. If the irritation of these uric
acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health By
the use Of some sterling remedy which
will prevent return of the disease.

ART THOU THE SAME?

Art thou the same, thou sobbing winter
wind?
The same that rocked the cradle of the
May.
That whispered through the leaves Of
summer noon,
And swelled the anthem of the full
grown year?
Art thou the same, thou piteous, moan
ing thing,
Beating against the pane with ghostly
hands,
Wailing in agony across the waste
Art thou the same-the same?
Art thou the same, thy poor heart
bruised and faint,
Treading thy way along through twi-
light gloom?
Art thou the same that sang to greet
the dawn,
Caroling in the sunlight like bird.
Too glad for speech. too glad for aught
but song?
Art thou the same that prayest but for
night,
For night to come and ease thee Of thy
Art thou the same-the same?
Thou winter wind that wailest through
the night,
Thou broken heart too crushed to moan
or cry,
There will be rest even for We, poor
thing,
And more than rest-a JOY new washed
in tears;
For through the portals of the fading
year
Lie sunny hills and fields fresh-clad in
green,
And after night who knows what day
may bring?
And We unchanged. the same-the same?

Communism Was Tried Out
Centuries Ago by Little
Republic in Central Asia

In the heart Of Asia centuries ago
Manchu merchants discovered three
large aurifer@us regions which the Pc
kin government Immediately claimed
by forcing thousands of laborers to
work the mines. Most of these men,
when possible, fled and hid in the
mountains and forests surrounding
them. AS the government kept refill

the hills also grew and formed it.
self into federation. whose leaders
were to protect the lives and supply
the means of livelihood for the rest
This little republic was founded
upon the shores Of the River Centunga.
and is the earliest communist expert
ment known. All the fruits of labor
and production were for common use.
1t was absolutely prohibited that any
one withhold from the commune any
part of the gold which 'all were occu-
pied in mining; it was placed to the
credit Of the whole colony and depos-
tied with the association, to be used
for anyone in need. Everyone had to
work to his utmost capacity, and char
ity or begging was unknown.
Any disobedience to the laws was
punishable by death. This sentence
was pronounced by a committee of
twenty-five, elected by universal suf-
frage, as well as two judges and the
two presidents Of the commune.

Methods of Education Too

CHILD LABOR
IS REDUCED
Decrease q More Than 10 Peg Cecs
Under New Law

Child labor has decreased more than
40 per cent since the child labor tax
provision of the revenue act went into
effect April % last. This act levied a
tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings
of plants employing children under IA
years or between a and Is for more
than eight hours in the production of
commodities entering into interstate
commerce.
Reports Of internal revenue bureau
agents, it is announced, indicate that
the greatest decrease has occurred in
the cotton. mill industry Of the south
ern states where, it is said more than
IS per cent of the mills now are oper-
ating on basis that exempts them
from the tax. Marked reduction in
child labor also was reported, it was
said, In the coal mining and canning
industries. Many plants, particularly
cotton mills, have discharged all chill
dren under 10 years Of age, the report
said, rather than adjust the operation
to an eight-hOur day.

Farmers in YaquI Valley
Live in Forts and Always
Prepared to Fight Indians

Some day it may occur to somebody
to write a book with the title Sur
prises of Mexico" for it becomes more
and more evident that the land is full
of odd places and people. Not far over
the border, for example, lies region
where life is still lived by white set
tiers under pioneer conditions, and,
as says a recent traveller, the pioneer
farmers in the Yaqui valley have to
live in forts and carry guns for pro-
lection against the Indians" Here are
still wild American aborigines, horde

caves, worship woodpeckers, and are

but, except for the pioneer farmers
and the growth of a few mining towns,
the 'land of Nayarit' remains much
cOnquering another part of the coun-
try. In it's promise of agricultural
produce and mineral wealth it is said
to be one of the richest regions in the
world, but so far "its only roads are
the winding cow-trails made by cattle
on their way to water holes. Not a
single railway crosses it from east to
west; and one line only splits it from
Nogales to Mazatlan. Vast areas Of
the interior are practically uninhab-
tied except for lonely huts here and
there in canOnS or near water holes"
And the United States is only days

Woman Physician Asserts
Carriers Prove Injurious

Here's another theory Of a woman
physician. Savages develop a better
race than do civilized nations-because
savages do not wear carriers. DR.. Au-
gusta Rucker of New York made this
claim recently before the international
conference of woman physicians, held
in New York. She condemned chill
dren's garters and elastic shoulder
straps, at the same time urging looser
clothing for women, and theeabolish-
