J. G. HALL THREW AWAY HIS
CRUTCHES BECAUSE HE DID
NOT NEED THE. MATTER
TAKING RE-CU-MA.
FOR SEVEN YEARS HE OULD NOT WALK
WITHOUT THEM

The manufacturers of Rc-Cu-Ma
do not claim that 1t will work mira
cles, but here is 4 case where it ac-
tually put man on his feet again
after seven years use OF crutches.
Everyone in Bellair, Florida, knows
j. G. Hall and everyone has confidence
in what he says. Many of his towns
people were witnesses OF his act of
throwing away his crutches after hav-
ing taken seven bottles OF Re-Cu-Ma.
Mr.. Hall on his crutches has been a
familiar sight to his friends; he was
almost bent double; in fact, he was 80
badly crippled with rheumatism that
even some OF his joints were dislocat-
cd and of course he suffered agony
at all times. no relief at any time.
Mr.. Hall was thoroughly discouraged
and felt that he would never be able
to get around again like other men;
he had spent small fortune with
doctors in many places, butwithout
avail. He took one bottle and saw
some help and was encouraged enough
to take more and now, after taking
seven bottles he feels practically
cured. He has gained 32 pounds In
weight and is able to work hard ev-
cry day. He is employed as night
watchman at the world famous Bel
lair hotel and takes an active inter-

est in Masonic and church work. Mr..
Halls remarkable cure, should be
beacon of hope to others who are SIM
Harry afflicted. for naturally feel that
Re-Cu-Ma can do as much for other
sufferers. Try it today-we sell it
on the guarantee that your money
benefited after taking it four days.
1t sells for r'$1.20 plus war tax and
can be had at Ladd's Drug store and

A WONDER-CHILD.
Remarkable Chess PLAYER.

Mr. G. Ward Price writes from Berlin
to the London Daily Mail as follows:
This tiny Polish Jew "chess wonder
child" as the Germans call him, who is
taking on all the. best players of Berlin
at once, and beating them, is a most
remarkable atom.
IL, spent last evening at the rooms of
the Berlin Chess Society, which prides
itself on being the chess club with the
highest. standard of play in Europe, and
watched. the phenomenal frail little thing

of Germany simultaneously task that

about three. The rest he]won.

opponents. He-poor little chap!-could
not even sit; he had to walk from board
to board all the time, and he stood con-
tinually.
And behind the players in dense
crowd stood about 200 spectators, cram
ing their necks to catch glimpse of the
"wonder-child," as if he were a curious
specimen in a bottle, which, indeed, is
rather what he looks like. 1t would
have tried stole philosopher to concen-
trate his mind on anything, with all those
huge forms bending over him, like ogres
feasting their eyes on dwarf.
But little Samuel Reschevski did not
seem to know they were there. He prop
ped his thin little arms on the table edge
in front of him and fixed his dreamy
eyes on the board. Occasionally he
would raise them and peer fxedly into
his opponents face, as if to read his
thoughts.
And they are extraordinary eyes-sol-
emn, profound, full of sort of weari-
ness as if they had looked deeply upon
many things. The soul of what old
dead-and- gone-chess- lives in this
baby body? With swift decision the tiny
white hand shoots out, grasps a heavy
chessman and moves it in flash. Then,
like adocile child .turningito "a new play
th1ng, SamueI addresses himself to the
next board and the domed, bullying little
head is bowed over problem which it
is resolving at the same time as twenty
Others.
He is rather pretty little boy, with a
tiny round, fat face, but so very, very
small, His uncle says he is eight; he
looks FIVE. He speaks only Yiddish, and
his life is entirely made up of chess,
which he learnt from his father. No par
ticular ability seems ever to have existed
in his family, but his uncles were we'll
known for their elaborate knowledge of
the Ta1mud.
He can play the most complicated
game without even seeing the board, car
rying all the moves in his head, and he
can remember and reconstruct the most
complicated game in every detail days
afterwards.
'Where is Lasker" is the only ques-
ton he asks strangers who try to talk
to him. He has heard that Lasker is the
best player in the world, and he wants to
meet him. His other amusements are
riding on merry-go-rounds and sleeping
He sleeps tremendously, and presumably
it is owing to this that his amazingly
,over--deyeloped brain does not wear out :

he had the opportunity of discussing the
Jewish question with prominent Polish
statesman. When asked how the Pol
ish government intended to solve the
Jewish question in Poland, the states
man replied that there were but three
alternatives. They could starve the Jews;
they could kill them outright; or they
could force them to emigrate. We are
not told whether the gentleman who de-
livered himself of these amiable senti-
ments was member of the Government.
But even if the prominent statesman"
had no official connections, the mere fact
that such savage utterances should have
escaped him is painfully significant of
the trend of thought in liberated" Po-
land, and accounts for much that Sir
Stuart Samuel revealed to his audience
on Wednesday night as result of his
Mission. Unfortunately, the Sunday
Closing Act in Poland is at least symp-
tomato of the popularity of the "starva-
ton" alternative in Polish Parliamentary
circles; while the throwing of thousands
OF Jewish railway men out of work is
straw which points in the same direction.
All we can say is, we hope that saner
we will not say Observation-Disclosures
ship will prevail in the new Polish state.
Polish politicians will remember that Mr..
promulgated like pol
icy Of three very similar alternatives for
Jews; and those who are anxious to
model themselves on this arch-reaction-
airy know what became of all his works
and of the structure of autocratic. tyran-
ny which they were intended to buttress.
That way lies only bloodshed, futility
and anarchy. 1t offers no solutions of the
Jewish difficulty and no ihope of peace
to the country which treadS so mad a
path. Poland can become strong and
respected if she pleases. But it can be
only on the lines clearly marked out by
the Treaty to which she has put her Sig
nature-Jewish Chronicle (London).
