of the season-and quite the
d jolliest-this polo ball which
took place at the Willard last eve
ming and about which everybody Is
talking this morning. And IL must
have Melted goodly sum to aid
in promoting polo in the District
and to purchase equipment for the
War Department teams, for the
company was one of the largest
which has assembled at a benefit
ball this year.
Society folk have danced with
more or less enthusiasm for every
charity under the sun this winter,
but they turned out with renewed
interest last evening and the smart
assemblage, which would have done
credit to any private ball, was
augmented by a good many of those
who religiously buy boxes or tickets
for charity balls-and as religiously
stay at home. There was pleas
ant air of friendliness and camera
derie about the party. and every
body seemed to be having the best
sort Of a time.
Only the ponies were missing.
The polo players were numerously
present, wearing their picturesque
polo toys; and their Jackets OF
green and scarlet and orange added
a piquant touch to a scene which
was made colorful by quantities OF
flags. The Stars and Strips were
lavishly used. almost covering the
walls of the long ballroom and OFF,
set by trailing greens; and about
the whole ballroom ran a frieze of
regimental flags. The Generals

in the extreme and, with the per-
fectly corking music, contributed

ball was marked. William Phelps

were among the guests who were
noticeably in the spirit of the oc
casion.
Major John G. Quekemeyer. aide
to General Pershing. wearing the
green and white of the War De-

charge and to him must go much
OF the credit for its spectacular
success.

vARICOSE VEIN
CURE CLAIMED
BY BAREMALD
Davenport Mayor Explains Discov.
cry of Serum to Scott County
Medical Society.

What Is said to be one of the
greatest advances in the medical
profession has been claimed by DIR.
A E Barewald mayor Of Daven-
port, who asserts he has a serum
that promises to reyolutioniZe the
treatment of varicose veins and to
do away with the surgeons knife
as a means of relief.
The discovery was explained by
DR.. Barewald TO members OF the
Scott County Medical society at its
meeting last evening. The DaVen-
port mayor spent live years on his
discovery, and in the treatment OF
some fifty cases, he told the So
ciety, he has not met with failure.
The serum Is injected into the vein,
which. after several days treat
ment, either disappears or returns
To its normal state. During the
treatment the patient is able to
attend his daily occupation.
When news of the discovery was
received by Chicago physicians this
morning il was received with
doubtful comment. The serum has

er physicians, and when it is and
should it prove successful, it will
be hailed as one of the greatest ad
yances of recent times.
DR.. George II. Simmons, editor
of the Journal of the American
Medical association, while declin-
ing to pass an official opinion on
the discovery of DR.. BareWald, said
that such cure was highly i'm
probable.
Without hearing all that DR..
Barewald had to say, l would say
such a cure is possible, but in 1899
cases out of 10000 it is improb-
able" pr. Simmons said.
In explaining his discovery to
the society last evening, the impor-
lance of it was not disclosed until
DR.. Barewald stated that so per
cent of people over 40 years OF age
are afflicted with varicose veins in |
some form or other. Many of these |
are so slight as not to be notice |

You will say where does this poi
son get in the blood? Now listen
When foods disagree with us, we
have fermentation; when our liver
Is sluggish, we are subject to con-
stipation; when we fail to drink
enough pure water, our kidneys
cannot properly function; or when
we fail to take regular exercise,
our skin becomes congested.
AS result, waste products get
in the blood. Ill health sets in.
You may lose your strength and
vitality; or you may have rheu-
matte pains in the muscles and
joints; or you may be troubled with
pimples, bad boils, sores or some
other skin eruption. All because
of the poisonous waste products in
