tackled by the revenue raising committees
Of both branches of congress, beginning

part of the Republican leaders to attempt

agreement that the excess profits taxes, II

Says His Prescription Has Powerful
Influence Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Druggists Not to Take
Cent of Anyone's Money Unless
Allenrhu Completely Banishes All
Rheumatic Pains and Twinges.


Rheumatic Pains and Twinges.
Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
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 final
~ compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let spf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. All
druggists have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that they will freely re-
turn the purchase money to all who
state they received no benefit.

RIGID PROSECUTIONS
 ID FOLLOW BREAKING
 OF PROHIBITION ACT
COMMISSIONER ROPER SAYS OFFENDERS WILL BE PUNISHED TO EXTENT OF LAW WITHOUT REGARD FOR AC-
 TON TAKEN BY ANY OF STATES.

Washington, Feb. 28-All persons found violating the federal prohibition enforce ment act will be proceeded against to the limit of the law" irrespective of any state statutes legalizing the sale of liquors, it was announced to- day by Commissioner Roper of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
 MT. Roper's ruling resulted from the bill now pending before the New Jer- sey legislature legalizing the sale and manufacture of beer containing 3 1-2 per cent. of alcohol
 The bureau of internal revenue is charged with the enforcement of the national prohibition act,'' he said. 'It definitely prohibits the manufacture and sale for beverage purposes of ali liquors containing half of one per cent. or more of alcohol by volume. This being the case, the manufacture and sale of 3 1-2 per cent. beer, which is permitted by the bill in the New Jersey legislature, is in direct viola ton of the federal statute. All per sons thefefore, who are found guilty of this violation of the federal statute will be proceeded against to the limit of the law

JUDGE KEOGH
 MOVES INTO
 NEW QUARTERS

Referee in Bankruptcy John T. Keogh has decided to move the office of the bankruptcy court t4 more com modious quarters and has been given the use of room 51 on the third floor of the County Court House.
 This room adjoins the small room formerly used as naturalization court. All hearings in bankruptcy will be held in this court room in the future.
 The now location will be more con- venient for lawyers and will give the referee the necessary room to hold hearings on contested matters.
 Judge Keogh has assigned Monday and Tuesday for hearings on Bridge port bankruptcy matters, and Friday for out of town matters. This will accommo odate the lawyers from ali parts of the county who come to Bridgeport to attend the short caIen- dar sessions of the Superior and Com mon Pleas courts and will centralize all of the court activity in one build ing,
