APPEALS AGAINST ELECTION RESULT
 IN CUBA CERTAIN
Rx Aasncintnd Press

Havana, March 1e.-With the long drawn-out presidential campaign term mated by the choosing at partial cleo tions yesterday of pr. Alfredo Zayas Y. Alfonso as President of Cuba, the pubic mind is turning to the question whether Dr. Zayas will be able successfully to form a government and take office May 20 as the constitution provides in the face of an expected congressional strike and appeals are certain to be presented by the opposition against yesterday s result.
 Dr. zayas is faced by congressman strike on the part of the liberals ana democrats, which possibly might result in the clogging of the legislative ma chinery and making the proclamation ot his election impossible. The formation or cabinet is expected to be delicate problem for the new President-elect, rep resenting as he does the minority party in Cuba.
 pr. Zayas declared today that he ex pected the situation to clear itself within short time He said he was confident sufficient members of Congress woutd take their seats to form quorum ana proclaim his election. He added that ne expected so to organize his official lam ily as to unite his supporters into one political party.

WORKS VERY HARD

The volunteers who conducted the cor respondent to Devalera's s residence said that, despite the protests of his friends, DeValera persisted in working stren- uously daily from o'clock in the morn ing until Il at night. The intensity of his concentration was shown today by the fervor of his exposition of the Irish cause and it's righteousness, and his dec laration that Ireland is keeping alive the flame of the high principles for which the late war was fought.
 The interview was a complete surprise. Until 15 minutes before it took place, the correspondent had no intimation that 1t would be accorded. A questionnaire for submission to the president through the same channels as were used in the sua- mission of the questionnaire of last Jan uary had been prepared, and the core spondent was proceeding to the rendez- vous for that purpose when suddenly he was invited to climb into the side car of motorcycle and don goggles. which effectually blindfolded him. The car sped through Dublin by way of an intricate route, and after an indeterminate period the corr espondent found himself in a we'll furnished living room and soon Ill the presence of DeValera-

ST, PATRICK'S DAY


 Anniversary of the birth of St. Patrick, patron saint of the Emerald Isle, will be celebrated today. Green carnations and other greenere in the floral shops gave proof yesterday that the Irishman's $ day of days was at hand.
 Celebrations of a general nature will not be held in Birmingham, although members of the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians plan several informal observances of the day.
 Though oft told. the story of St. Pat rick does not lose in the retelling His birthplace and birthdate not known of a surety, although the birthdate is ac- cepted generally as March r, his works overshadow these details.
 Saint Patrick's greatest work was the establishment of the Christian church in Ireland Fable and tradition credits him with driving the snakes out of Ireland, but this was mere incident in his life.
 The great evangelistic work of St. Patrick can best be judged from his building of 365 churches with schools connected with each, during his lifetime. He organized at least one archbishropic, created two or more bishops and founded several colleges.

First of all, you must realize that Rheumatism's pains are not on the surface, and cannot be rubbed away. Then you will discard the liniment bottle, and seek the source of the disease.


 Many forms of Rheumatism are due to tiny germ in the blood, which multiplies by the million and spreads it's pain to different parts of the body.
 When you realize the logic of this conclusion, you will see that you are really wasting your time and money if you are expecting any permanent relief from the use of liniments, To- tions, and other locally applied treatment, which can only reach the surface and have no effect whatever upon the origin of your trouble.
 Any disease should be treat ed at it's source, and especially one that causes as much suffer ing as rheumatism. For what you want is not mere tempo rary relief from the torturing bangs of pain which will promptly return with renewed severity. The only treatment worth while is one that will show some progress toward getting at the source of the disease, and freeing the victim from it's shackles.

UNUSUAL PREPARATIONS
 FOR PARADE UNDER WAY.
 TROOPS WILL NOT MARCH
Bx Associated Press


 Ia Boston, March 16.-Severa1 thousand ing unusual preparations tonight for the parade tomorrow afternoon in celebration of the 145th anniversary of the date the British troops hustled out of Boston.
 Telegrams from the secretaries of war and navy today sustained the or ders of Rear Admiral Dunn, comman- dant of the First naval district, and Brigadier General Hickman, command ing the First army corps area, refus- ing to allow regular service men to pa- rade. The orders were issued because organizations identified with the members to recognize the indepen- dence of Ireland and for the freedom of India were to have braces in the line.
 In a telegram to Dr. William Fl. Griffin, chief marshai vr the parade, Secretary Denby said that the assign ment of naval men for public demon strations was a matter entirely within the discretion of the commandant of the navy yard and that he did not deem it advisable to interfere witk the exercise of this discretion" Plans for 1000 marchers had been made but at a meeting tonight in South Boston it was said that hundreds of addi- tional paraders were recruited. Cover nor Cox indicated tonight that he would participate in the evacuation day ceremonies provided the parade is made a. patriotic demonstration.
 Rear Admiral Dunn's order to Dr. Griffin forbade him to march in his uniform as naval reservist and added that no other members of the reserve could do s6. but it was said tonight that the men would be permitted to appear in their service clothes as mem : bers of the American Legion, and that they must wear the insignia of that order

Is Rheumatism
 Really Incurable?

The one point that the med ical profession has agreed upon, is that some forms of rheumatism are caused by a tiny disease germ in the blood, which multiplies by the mill lion and until these germs are routed from the blood, you can see how futile local treatment will be. In fact, you can rub with liniments and use lotions by the gallon and never hope to reach the cause of your trouble.
 So many people have found real permanent relief from their rheumatism by the use of s. s. s. that it's use is justified in practically every case. Ger tainly if your rheumatism is due to germ in the blood, as so many thousands of cases are, you should lose no time in be- ginning the use of s. S. s. be- cause you can rely upon this fine old blood remedy to do you more good than any other treatment.
 s. s. s. is beneficial in rheu- matism because it is such a thorough blood medicine. It cleanses the blood of all inn purities, and eradicates the germs which cause rheuma- tism. The wonderful results it has accomplished in other cases is proof of it's great merit. s. s. s. has been on the market for more than fifty years and is sold by all druggists.
