Rheumatism Comes
From Tiny Pain Germ.

First Of all, get It firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments
In the world have no effect what
ever on Rheumatism.
A very common form Of Rheu-
matism 10 caused by millions Of
tiny disease germs which infest the
blood. The one and only sensible
treatment, therefore. is one which
cleanses the blood Of these germs,
and routs them entirely out Of the
circulation.

CUNNING FOR PRoFITEiERs
. AN ANCIENT PRACTICE

Profiteering in foods and high wage
demands by labor are far from being
ultra-modern problems.
= Ancient Egypt logged its profiteers
in the market places and medieval
England passed maximum wage laws,
according to communication by
Ralph A. Graves to the National Geo
graphic society, which says:
Following the devastation of the
Black Death in England in 1348- 1349,
cultivation of the fields was utterly
impossible and there were not even
enough able-bodied laborers to gather
the crops which had matured. Cattle
roamed through the corn unmolested
and the harvest rotted where 1t stood.
( "Out of the situation which resulted
from the simpoverishment of the labor
resources Of the kingdom grew the
first great clash in England between
capital and labor. The peasants be-
came masters Of the situation. In some
instances they demanded double wages,
and whereas formerly landowners had
paid one-twelfth Of every quarter Of
wheat as the harvesting wage they
were now forced to pay one-eight.
parliament hurriedly passed dras-
tic laws in an effort to meet the new
condition. Statutes provided that
every man or woman, bond or free,
able in body and within the age Of
threescore years, not having his own
whereof he may live, nor land of bis
own about which he may, occupy him
self, and not serving any other, shall
be bound to serve the employer who
shall require him to do SO. provided
that the lords Of any bondsman or
land-servant shall be preferred before
others for his service; that such serv-
ants shall take only the wages which
were customarily given in 134T (the
year prior to the first appearance Of
the plague).
''The first ordinance in English his
tory, designed to curb the greed of
the middleman, was passed nearly a
century earlier Tin 1851 when there
was bountiful harvest, but destruc-
tive rains caused the heavy crops to
rot in the fields.
"But England did not originate food

SOW16 - BALTIC HUME
Caught In the swift Of the minor
fiurries that disturb Europe are the
remote Aland islands, where Swedes
and Firms FLASHED In a manner sug-
gestive Of the dispute between Jugo-
Slavs and the Italians along the Adri-
attic, according to newspaper dis
patches.
For more than 200 years the -Aland
Islands, which are situated like a cork.
in the wide mouth Of the, Gulf Of
Bothnia, have been sort OF Alsace-
Lorraine question between the Swedes
and the Russians. After having passed
back and forth several times, they
were finally coded to Russia in 1909.
During the reign Of Nicholas I they
were strongly fortified, a move most
distasteful to Sweden. because the
islands occupy strong strategic posi-
ton with respect to Stockholm, the
Swedish capital, which IL less than

islands. # .,s.s
These Notifications were short
lived. In 1854, during the Crimean
war. a Franco British fleet, under Sir
Charles Napier and paraguay d'Hil-
liers. destroyed the works, and after
that time the islands were left un-
fortified, in accordance with an inter-
national agreement.
The Aland group, which is separated
from the Swedish mainland by Aland
bay tAland Haaf) and from the, Finn.
ish mainland BY Skiftet sound, IL
composed OF some 500 islands and
rocky islets, the total area Of which
Is not more than $50 square miles.
The largest island, Aland, name sig
nifying "land of streams" is almost as
large as all the others combined, hav-
ing an area Of 247 square miles, about
twice the size of Martha'sr Vineyard. J:
Cattle raising and fishing are the
chief occupations Of the 25,OOO people
who live on the Islands. Some cereals

this port and Abo, the Oldest and
historically the most interesting city
in Finland. The voyage from Abo to
Mariehainn takes about TO- hours. II
It was in the water adjacent TO the
Aland islands that Peter the Greats
navy won IT'S first important victory,
defeating the Swedes Ii 1717. n. 4.
Only about 90 Of the 800 islands are
inhabited. and the fisherfolk, in the
main. are Of Swedish descent.
Sweden's desire to hold the islands
arises in patt from the fact thar they
