Says His Prescription Has Powerful
Influence Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Druggists Not to Take
a Cent Of Anyone's Money Unless
: Alenrhu Completely Banishes All
rheumatic Pains and TWinges.

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and IN
able to work
lie 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
ly 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 suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
eovery 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.

ing hard for enough to even up, but Man
ager McGuiggan instructed his men to
hang on TO the ball and this they did
making little or no pretense to score,
their sole object being to keep the locals
from caging the ball. They did their
work well, for Brattleboro was unable
TO score in the last minute of play.
Claremont was the first TO score, Brad
bury caging the ball in the first few sec
onds, followed by Emery's two and one
each by Russell and Richardson. Then
Brattleboro cut loose, B. Dunlevy ring

Cakes with two more, but Claremont
again jumped away by scoring two. F.
Dunlevy then broke the ice for one, only
TO have Emery offset it by plugging the
net for another F. Dunlevy came
through again and Sawin followed with
another. This, with free-try counter
for each team, was the extent of the
scoring in the first half, which ended with
the score II TO Is in favor Of Claremont
As in the first half, the visitors started
the second period with a bang, scoring
five to the locals one before Brattleboro
got under way The locals then dropped
in three, while Claremont got one. This
brought the score to 20 to %. Cakes
rang the bell, which was followed by one
each by Richardson and Russell. "Jaker'
then passed another through the ozone
for a counter and Richardson called for
time Just as B. Dunlevy was about to
push one over the edge. Richardson II
some way had received a split hand. This
was soon repaired and the game went on
but with only minute and half te
play, and the visitors playing eovel

got loose long enough to take another
counter, which proved to be the last OF
the game for either team, making tbs

Moroccan snanish .Ia,.,s

One Of those historic bits stranger
than fiction, and one which contains
the note Of poetic justice too often
lacking in ordinary experience, is the
recent Inauguration Of an effort upon
the part Of Spain to nationalize and
rehabilitate the Jews Of Morocco. The
king of Spain himself is at the head
Of the movement, being chief of the
honorary presidents and being sec
Onded by many of the most prominent
statesmen Of all parties. After three
centuries Of ostracism the Jews are to
be officially invited to return, as Il
were, and to resume their position In
the evolution Of the land.

MAY DEVELOP GUM MARKET
Opening of Mesopotamia to civiIIza-
tion Likely to Add Largely to the.
Worlds Supply. H.

As law and order come into the wild
and unsettled mountains Of Mesopo-
tamia, especially when new roads and
the eventual railway connect the
northern Kurdish country around Mo
sui with the rest Of the world, many
a now useless tree and shrub will
doubtless be put to service as a con-
tributor of gum. The gums of Meso-
potamia have many commercial uses,
and the unsystematic tapping and
trading that now brings the product
on pack animals to, Suleimanaya,
where merchants buy. it from the
Kurds and sell it again to other mer-
chants in Bagdad, is a mere sugges-
ton Of the industry that may be de-
velOped by enterprising promoters who
may have observed the extent of this
natural resource in Mesopotamia and
looked further afield than Aleppo and
Bagdad for markets. Now that Brit
ish occupation has opened the land to
western ideas, it would not be sur
prising if the gum industry grew to be
source Of considerable national
wealth, and an important factor in
creating a new MesOpotamia.

snitzheruen Explorer.

Charles Rabot, French physicist,
with a reputation for arctic research,
has been elected honorary member Of
the Christiania Geographical society.
In 1892 Mr.. Rabot participated in the
French expedition of La Manche to
van Mayen and Spitzbergen. He was
the first to travel extensively over
west Spitzbergen and to form correct
conclusions as to it's pathological re-
lations, viz: that west Spitzbergen is
not covered by a connected inland
mass of ice as is the case with Nor
dOstland and Greenland. Among his
many works the most important is,
"DeS Variations de Longueur des
Glaciers" paris, 1897 and 1900. He
was the first to make survey map of
the black ice between Saltenfjord and
Ranefjord, for the time pointing out
that at Glaamdalen the black ice is cut
into two parts known as Vestbraen
and Osthbraaen.

LIKED HIS bath"
Rabbit Seemed to Enjoy Power
full Electric Shock. .
Experiment Recently Made Shows
Great Possibilities in This Form
OF Treatment for Toning Up
the Nervous System.

1t is almost sure death to step upon
the third rail of an electric road, for
he who does it will get shock of at
least 500 volts. But you can jump on
a third rail and stand on it with both
feet and feel nothing. You must, how
ever, jump off with both feet or you
will get the shock. The reason is that
when both feet are on the rail there is
no circuit.
Watching two boys amusing them
selves by jumping on and off a third
rail on Long Island recently, Fl. Germs
back, editor of the Electrical Expert
menter, wondered what would happen
if he were to stand on the pole of
very powerful Tesla coil He went to
where there is one of the electrical
testing laboratories, where there is one
Of the most powerful high frequency
machines in the country, giving $780,
600 volts and using 20 kilOWatts. This
machine throws streams of electric
fire six to seven feet long, the noise
Of which can be heard several blocks
away. Mr.. Gernsback wanted to stand
on the metal plate Of the thigh" term
inal of the transformer but the man
ayers would not let him, for fear of an
accident. He had with him, however,
a live rabbit, and they let him put the
bunny on that periIous spot
cat first" writes Mr.. Gernsback in
the Electrical Experimental, she was
much frightened and jumped off the
plate at about five kiIOwatts. Long
sparks had shot out from his nose and
above his eyes and at the ends of the
ears. SO the writer wetted the plat
form with water, because he thought
that sparks might be jumping into
the rabbits belly and legs which in
sulated the fur part of his body, giving
rise to stinging sparks. An improve
ment was seen Immediately. The
rabbit now held perfectly still for
about 20 seconds, taking the full charge
of 20 kilowatts at 100000 volts. Long
spark streamers. four or five feet long,
shot from brer' rabbits nose, ears and
back, and, curious to note, immediate
ly above the eyes, and after that the
rabbit took the full charge, never NOV
ing once for 20 seconds at time.
After a while the rabbit seemed to en-
joy the performance, and right after
his seance he was as lively as ever,
eating big carrot at once"
Mr.. Gernsback points out that there
is practical value in this experiment,
for charge of electricity such as the
one described gives a dry bath which
removes every particle of dead skin,
dust and dirt and hurls them far from
the body. Such electric baths also
soften hardened arteries, tone up the
nervous system and make the old
feel younger and the young younger
and more aggressive"

Plastic Dressing for Wounds.

Industrial plants are now using the
Ambrine treatment for burns, scalds,
and all surface wounds which proved
very successful for casualties incurred
in the world war.
The dressing is a compound of wax
and resins, and is solid when cold. It
is heated to about $50 degrees Fab
renheit and applied by means of spe-
ial atomizer, or it can be generally
daubed on with a soft brush. A plas-
tic dressing, impervious to air, is thus
formed, which does not adhere to the
wound and which promotes the healing
process without appreciate contrac-
ton. Disagreement and scars are pre-
vented to a greater extent than was
possible under the old methods.

Lenetheninq Life of Silk Stocking.

"No economies are SMALL" says a
French prOverb, and the professional
stocking members job is evidence of
thrift as understood by the Parisienne.
Here" said one of the. craft, "are 80
pairs of silk stockings which have
been through my hands more times
than l can count, and look at them"
They were patched and darned till
there was little Of the original left,
but as Elise remarked, "with boots
they still make an effect w Before the
war madame paid three half-pence per
pair to her member and provided the
thread; now she gives fourpence or
f1vepence and expects miracles of en-
durance from the fragile web. Where
the member formerly spent ten min
utes she now must devote an hour to
some of these stockings, and it is diff
f1cult to see how she gets a living.
But madame's motto is, "ThrOw moth
ing away" and she lives up to it.
