First Of all, get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all tho ltniments
in the world have no effect what
ever on Rheumatism.
A very common form Of Rheu::
natism is 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.

MORE MUNICIPAL
EFFICIENCY SOUGHT

Boston. April 13.-Greater efficiency
in the handling of Boston municipal
business is the main purpose OF an
association, now in the process of or
ganization. Of some of the city's largest
property owners ana trustees. The
movement involves an efor: TO re-
move waste and extravaganza, the
elimination OF unnecessary ana ineffi-
cient employees and general speeding
UP of the municipal machine. Its
promoters feel that the oft repeated
promises OF doing something about
it, which lave i,Aowed years OF YER
bal protest, are long since overdue.
With constantly advancing prices in
the cost of material and a general
movement for the raising of salaries,
it is felt that city business should at
least be placed on plane with private
business, and every effort made to
promote conditions which shah give
a reasonable guarantee that the nu-
nicipality shall get a dollar in value
for every dollar expended. Such a
situation. say members of the pros
nective association, is far from existing
today.
Promoters OF the movement say that
it is attracting a wide range of in
terest, and that philosophical citj-
zens generally give II their support and
encouragement The recent fling Of a
bill in the legislature by Mayor An
drew j. Peters calling for an increase
in the Boston tax limit when mass
Of opposition appeared at the hearing,
precipitated the movement. At this
hearing A. w Perry "a real estate
owner, declared that Mayor Peters had
added $1,000, 900 to municipal ex-
penses by increasing salaries of city
employees who are almost as disgrua
tied they were before the action
was taken.
Mr. Perry believes that with the eX-
ception of perhaps two departments.
the number of city employees could be
reduced 33 per cent without impairinE
the efficiency OF the service. and he
bases this on his own observation and
talks with heads OF some of tho de-
partmcnts. II has been sa lid Of one
department head who was asker how
he was getting along that h" replied
he was doing as well as could be ex-
pected under circumstances, which
called for distribution Of work for
600 men among a force OF 200.
Mayor Peters says that so long as
city employe reports on ti,oe and
stays until closing time each working
DAY. the civil service regulations are
such as To make it practically impos-
sible to Gust him fro minis position en-
the charge of inertia alone or on the
ground that there 10 nc work for h i'm
also that here lies a difference be
tween PUBLIC anu private enterprise.
A contention of real estate men AZ
we'll as many others, is that II there
is not sufficient aPRrepEia ton pay
the salaries Of all the employees there
will then be legitimate reason for
dropping the least active nn1%.

New York, April 2o.--Judge Ebert
II Gary, chairman of the board of
directors of the United States Steel
corporation, declared al the annual
meeting OF stockholders in Hoboken
that the steel trust had not and
would not profiteer. He said the cor
poration was still holding TO the sell
ing price for its output fixed by
agreement with the industrial board
on March 81, 1919.
We think there Is moral obliga-
ton on the part of every one to use
all reasonable efforts TO check this
ca rnival of greed and imposition. even
at some sacrifice" he said after
speaking of the increasing tendency
to insist upon payment of unreason-
able sums for every commodity.
1t should be the effort of all to
esta blish and maintain a reasonable
basis Of prices. certainly TO prevent
further increases, otherwise the gov
eminent, from the standpoint Of pro-
lection of part of the public, must
interfere" he added.
Judge Gary declared that labor
should be subjected to governmental
control and regulation. He reiterat-
ed the intention of the company TO
maintain an open shop. Referring to
the strike OF last fall, he said:

the Rev. David Ostlund. Of Mime

Against Alcoholism. who has re
turned home temporarily after sew

The Rev Mr., Ostlurd reports
great interest in Scandinavian coun-
tries in the subject or Prohibition
Drvs Of Sweden expect that this next

The Rev Mr. Ostlund spent much
OF his time from September Is to
April in sweden. Liquor men there

him by spreading publicity TO the

tator" come to Sweden 70 stir up
trouble. TO which he replied by show
ing that. although he had been in
America five years. he was still cit

Later he went to Denmark and Nor

prohibition sentiment strong and
steadily growing

COMMON POULTRY
DISEASES, ROUP

Roup is more or less contagious
disease appearing in several forms
chiefly among chickens. Severe
colds, chicken pox, sore head, raft
les or diptheric roup are all thought
to be but different forms of the
same infection known generally as
roup. 1t is most prevalent during
the fall and early winter, attacking
both young and old birds. The
exact cause of the disease is not
known, but it is supposed to be due
to small bacteria or similar organ
ism. 1t is known, however, that it
aourishes in dark, cold, damp OF
draughty houses, or in over crowd
ed houses, where the ventilation is
not sufficient to supply plenty of
fresh air to the birds. Any CON
ditlon tending to make the birds
uncomfortable or to weaken their
vitality or vigor is conducive to an
outbreak OF roup. 1t seems to be
present in most hocks continually
only awaiting favorable opportun-
ity to make its appearance. 1t
may, however, be introduced by
purchased birds or contracted at
poultry shows or from coops in
