tored for rheumatism ever since ! came out
Of the army, over 80 years ago. Like many
others, 1 spent money freely for so-called
cures and l have read about Uric Acid
until / could almost taste II. / could not
sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands
were sore and stir could not hold a pen
But now l am again in active business and
can walk with ease or write all day with
comfort. Friends are surprised at the
change" You might just as well attempt to
put out a ire with oil as try to get rid of
your rheumatism, neuritis and like COM
plants BY taking treatment supposed to
drive Uric Acid out Of your blood and body
1t took Mr.. Ashelmsn fifty years to find out
the truth. He learned how to get rid Of the
true cause Of his rheumatism, other disor-
ders, and recover his strength from '"Tbe
Inner Mysteries" now being distributed free
by an authority who devoted over twenty
years to the scientific study OF this trouble.

TWO BILLS ARE READY

Assurance from Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, that organized labor
would actively support the campaign
for District suffrage when Congress
meets in December was given local
labor leaders yesterday at a con-
ference with A. F. of l.. officials.
Bills for local self government.
already drafted, will beA introduced
in the Senate and House on the
opening day of the session, it was
announced following the conference.
A series of conferences will be held
between labor officials and District
of Columbia suffrage men in the
next few weeks in an effort to COM
plete plans for the campaign TO be
waged in Congress.
Seek Two Delegates
Instead of providing for a con-
stitutional amendment which has
been repudiated by both the Repub-
'lican and Democratic party plat
forms, the principal features of the
bills to be introduced will provide
for two delegates from the District
in Congress and election of a board
of District Commissioners of six
members, with one Engineer Com
missioner to be appointed by the
President.
The bills provide also for an cleo
tive Public Utilities Commission Of
seven members and a public school
board of nine members. The num-
Der of delegates to be allowed the
District would be the same number
at present allowed the Philippine
Islands.
Four Drafters of Bill.
The bills have been drafted by
Alvin L. Newmyer, Robert l.. Miller,
Louis Gottlieb and Col. Jones.
The letter of Mr.. Gompers says in
part:
You know that the American
Federation of Labor has frequently
and emphatically declared and
steadfastly advocated franchise for
'the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia. You know that for years
have endeavored to be of assist
ance in carrying that thought into
effect and now beg to assure you
that not only the legislative COM
mittee of the American Federation
OF Labor. but its officers, including
the undersigned. will do everything
within their power to achieve this
justifiable cause"
The letter was addressed to Frank
y. Coleman, secretary of the Wash
ington Central Labor Union.
