And using their feet more than ever before
For all these workers the frequent use of
Aliens Foot=Ease, the antiseptic, healing
powder to be shaken into the shoes and
sprinkled in the foot-bath, increases their
efficiency and insures needed physical COM

and blistered feet. Women everywhere are
constant users of Aliens Foot=Ease. Don't

Look Out for Rheumatism
AS Winter Approaches

So many cases of Rheumatism
come from tiny disease germ that
infests the blood, that physicians
are beginning to realize that this
source of the disease is becoming
quite prevalent. Of course a dis
ease that has its source in the
blood cannot be reached by local
remedies applied to the surface.
One remedy that has given splen-
did results in the treatment of
Rheumatism is S.S.S., the fine old
blood remedy that has been sold by
The Concordia sentinel. (Vidalia, Concordia Parish, La.) 1882-current, 1921-07-16

druggists for more than fifty years.
S.S.S. acts by driving out of the
blood the disease germ that causes
Rheumatism, thus affOrding real
relief.
Begin taking S.S.S. today and if
you will write a complete history
of your case. our medical director
will give you expert advice, with
out charge. Address Chief Medical
Adviser, Isl Swift Laboratory, At

''The fate of the city is so tragic
that no comparison can be found in

more tragic than the fall of PompeiI."

The Dutch captain dipped his colors,
while the ships band played and the
vessel steamed direct to the pier.
With years of starvation behind
them, dock workers, by day and night

day twenty carloads Of herring were
dispatched to Moscow, while the rest
was left for distribution In Petrograd.

COPS BATTLE WITH EAGLE
WINDS UP WITH SURPRISE

remains of the eagle with his foot,
his nightstick raised to-, repulse any
treacherous attack.
Eagle stuck to Roof
There was none. 1t was the, dead
est eagle ever seen on Mermaid ave-
nue.. Wiley seized 1t to hold 1t aloft
in triumph. He pulled and pulled,
but the eagle never budged. The tar
on the roof, thicker in the corner than
elsewhere, had been softened by the
sun or heat from the chimney when
the eagle alighted and then had hard
ened. The eagle was caught beyond
even the strength of Wiley to re-
lease 1t. It had been a prisoner for
several days, evidently. Wiley tele-
phoned to the police station for ad-
vice.
you've shot a negro on the roof
but you can't get him DOWN.? re-
peated Acting Lieutenant O'Connor In
you shoot him on the street,"
Wiley explained painstakingly that
it was an eagle, not a negro, that he
had killed; vicious eagle which was
a menace to the community and espe-
cially to children, that. once when
had heard about that. and the only
advice he could give him was that
having shot the eagle he'd better
get it off the roof.
Wiley was scratching his head
over the problem when somebody sug-
gested that If he cut off the eagles
feet. which were immersed in the
stiffened tar. he could remove the
bird, and an eagle that had as long
legs as that one had didn't need feet
anyhow; IL necessary for mountaing
purposes a few inches of leg could
be turned up for a foot and never
be missed.
This was done. and Wiley, took his
trophy to Joe McCarrick, who has a
cabaret on the Bowery frequented by
all kinds of birds and goes hunting
every fall besides in search of new
types. Joe eyed the eagle with the
sour gaze Of a man who knows what
he is talking about.
"That amt an eagle" said he. 'Tt's
a heron or something. Look at its
bill and look at It's legs" .F

be taken there and the community
showing best there gets $125., So
you know we are all interested. I do
hope that a great many of you have
had these fairs. This time we had
ice cream and barbecued meats to
sell, and we hope to have nice
purse to divide in prize money.
There were bales of fancy work,
all exquisitely done. 1t is nice to
see the finger work, plain. sewing
and even patching and darning that

NEW YORK.-Joe Wiley a patrol

he was seized by an eagle and carried
to the crest of high mountain to be

Everybody stood back. The eagle

Of capturing them-one which he had

to be done. he said, was to reach
under the box and drag the eagle out
by the feet. It was risky for any
but an old hand to attempt 1t. he
said.
He reached under the box. 1t was

that he had succeeded In grasping

eagles which sometimes was prac-

This desperate method involved
