The truth of the matter is, a
great majority of the most
learned doctors are full Of
doubts about Rheumatism. Thew
probably are familiar with some
OF the local conditions that su-
perinduce the disease, as well as
Its peculiarities and effects, bit
when it comes to a definite an
al!sls of the disease, in all of it's
different phases, the medical
profession has made little prog

full disease.
Perhaps, like thousands of
ct h er sufferers, you have
thought that the right way to
treat t! Rheumatism is to rub with
ilnnlments and lotions that part
OF O. the body where the pain is
felt. This seems like a reason
able thing to do, and sometimes
results In some slight relief for
the time being.
But the pains very promptly
return, and you very soon real
lze that such treatment merely
gives temporary relief, without
making any impression upon the
progress of the disease. mi
TACT, if local applications of lini-
ments, lotions and other similar
treatment would cure Rheuma-

easily conquered, for the aver

tirely dried up. 1t may be possible
that even the other wells are running
at a paying capacity, and something

a waiting game. I am not going to

"ohl all right if you feel like that
about 1t, go ahead"
Before the words were out of my
mouth John had slammed the door.
He had been busfly packing while
we were talking, or, rather, he had
opened his valise, which he had not
unpacked since he arrived, and put
ting in his tooth brush and few 9TH

bang,
Tries for Comfort
I tried to comfort myself by think
ing John was absolutely a man with
one-track mind that he had no use
for me when he was thinking of any
thing or anyone else. l just did not
exist Possibly when he arrived inl
the oil fields, if he found a moment
when he was not thinking of business,
he would remember that he had not
kissed me good-by.
But now there was nothing for /!
John Gordon in this world but an oil
well down in Texas that had played
the deuce with his calculations by
going dry.

some very interesting figures relating
to crop yields in Vermont They
show that the Green Mountain state
stands pretty near the head in the
yield per acre of many Of our staple
crops, while in the value of the crops
per acre it leads the average value
Of the United States in every crop
mentioned but potatoes.
In corn the acreage for the past
two years is the same, 10000, but the
average yield increased from @8 bush
els in 1918 to So bushels per acre III
1919. There was Il gain of over
500,0 bushels in production and the
value per acre increased from $6i,G0
to $92.75. The average United
States value is $32.70 per acre and
only three states report a larger
yield per acre than Vermont.
The showing in oats is not quite
so good. The acreage for both 1918
and 1919 was the same, 100000, but
the average yield per acre dropped
from Al bushels in 1913 to 36 bushels
in 1919. The production Of 3,060,000
bushels was 550,0Or bushels less than
in 1913. The value per acre dropped
from 5000 to $324O. The average
value in the United States is $21.12
and only four states report a larger
yield per acre.
In barley Vcrmont's yield per acre
was exceeded by only five states and
only four states had a larger value
per acre. Vcrmont's yield per acre
and value per acre were nearly twice
that Of the United States. Vermont
increased her acreage of barley in
1919 a thousand acres over 1918, re
porting $4,000 acres under cultivation
but the average yield per acre drop
ped from $47.43 to $40, while the av-
erage value throughout the United
States was only $2701.
Only one state in the Union cX-

polite language that the gallery rails are
not coat racks or elbow rests. 1t used to
keep two guards busy rushing up and
down the aislcs to tell people about this
unwritten law. Even then, hat or
powderpufr would occasionally sail down
and hit some portly and dignihod law
maker on the nose. Some of the Senators
became quite nervous about it. But now,
with an abundance of printed notices, the
danger is minimized.
The Senate Mr.. Dufault says, is much
more Jealous of its traditions and OF pro-
priety than the House, and any sign OF
disrespect on the part of visitors is quick
ly resented. :,
One of the few times on record when the
Senate gallery ever got away from the
doorkeepers. was during the recent DIS
cussions of the peace treaty. When Senat-
or Lodge was making his eloquent attack
on the League of Nations, certain groups
Of onlookers burst again and again INTO
loud applause. Guards suppressed the
offenders twice. and the third time in
formed them that they would have to
calm down or get out. Vice-Presldent
Marshal, referring to the incident, smiling
ly said that he would not object to the
applause except that none OF 1T was Tor
him. At this, Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
who was in the gallery, started to clap
and the spectators broke into applause Tor
the fourth time that afternoon. Later,
however. MIR. Marshall decreed absolute
silence.
Visiting the Senate in action is formal
rite carefully prearranged to avoid any
disturbances. No one is allowed on the
floor of the chamber except the lawmak-
ers. employees, the President and his
cabinet. members of the House OF Repre-
sentatives and digntaries such as kings
and princes, when especially invited.
The loft space around the Senate
chamber is divided into eight galleries.
Visitors who attempt to enter are first
catalogued and then assigned to their
proper section. Only persons bearing
pink or green cards, signed by the Sccre-
tary of State are admitted to the dlplo-
mats gallery The Senators gallery is re-
served for families and friends of members
and its doors are also open only to bearers
of special cards.
The first and second rows of this sec
tion are reserved for use of the President
and Vice-Presidcnt respectively. Admis-
sion here must be by order of these exccu-
| tives The Presidents chairs are rarely
occupied except on days of unusual inter
