Rheumatism for Years
Left Him Helpless and
Unable to Wolk--Cured

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided. after years OF
ceaseless study. that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated pur ! S. commonly
called uric acid deposits. were dis
solved in the joints and muscles and
expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded prescription
that quickly and completely banished
every sign and symptom OF rheuma-
tism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery TO
others who took 1t, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years OF urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers.

cinity with the understanding that

The body from the old horse-drawn
truck in the main station was placed
on the White chassis. The horse
drawn truck was a piece that had to
be discarded when the other fire
truck had been purchased. SO the
old body was put onto the chassis.
Mud guards were made. as well as
running boards. All the work in con-
nection with the making over was
done by the men at the fire station.
Information as to how to make the
new piece of apparatus was furnished

Congress convened Monday and the
wind -jamming is now on. The last
congress only talked daylight saving
and league of nations with nothing
doing, and prospects are that the
present congress will talk peace and
taxation with nothing done at the
end. Well, we'll have to suffer it

THEN AND NOW

We suggest that the good boys OF
the press go back to their editorials
during the period of the miners and
steel workers strikes of 1919, and re-
print much that they wrote at that
time. Their advice was uniform in
one respect, and that was that it was
a crime to permit production to be
curtailed. 1t was the duty of the state
and federal governments to see that
the industries were kept going. The
strikers might have their grievances,
but the public" must not be left to
suffer because of these grievances.

Well, how do you like the change"
since you are getting it? How do you
like the idea of Governor Davis and
his gang reorganizing the state and
telling you to go to Gehenna if you
don't like it? That's what it means
when they tack the emergency clause
to everything that they know the vot-
ers of the state won't approve, and
thereby depriving them of the right
of the referendum. And you can
pretty safely bet that it is going to
stick when it gets into court. NV,

ORGANIZED LABOR

Organized labor is raising the stand
ards of workingmen by compelling
them to think rapidly and to speak
clearly. The trade union movement
has developed a company of speakers
who are abundantly able to present
the cause of the toiler This is con-
stantly being demonstrated at the ma
tional meetings Of labor bodies, where
craftsmanship of the highest order is
demanded and where some of the adj
dresses would easily rank with the
best that are delivered in the confer
ences and conventions of other ma
tional bodies.
Organized labor is raising the
standards of workingmen by fighting
the battles of all the people. 1t is
carrying with it even the lowest and
most degraded. Every victory won
for the men and women at the top
means higher level for those lower
down. While the trade unionist may
for time belong to the aristocracy
of labor, he soon makes of that aris
tocracy democracy for all.

STOP THE RENT LEAK

The average man of family has
probably paid cut enough money in
his time to have built dozen nice
homes, and all that he has to show for
that expenditure now is a bundle of
old rent receipts that wouldn't buy
loaf of bread if his family was starv-
ing. There are times in ones life
when paying rent is necessity, but
it should be of short duration. Every
man that is a real sure enough man
ought to have implanted into his very
nature the impulse to own his own
home, no matter how humble it may
be, and to take pride in improving 1t
and building it up, planting around
it trees and shrubs and flowers, and
then sitting under his own fig tree
at evening when the days work is
done with that comfortable feeling
that he owns bit of the earth and is
lord of his own castle The man that
does not possess that desire is off
wrong somehow and has lost half that
makes life worth living Better own
a tent or shack and be free of land
lordism than live in a mansion and
have to devote one-fourth of your life
getting the money for the rent.

REVISE HIGH WAGE
CLAIM

Worcester, Mass.---Carpct manufact-
urers have revised their story that
the weekly wage of striking en-
pioyes is $50 Secretary McGee,, of
the Manufacturers Association, now
acknowledges that the figures are
somewhat excessive and lops off $26
week, but insists that the wage is
S54 week. The strikers reply that
McGee's next statement will be near
er the truth as their actual average
for 48-hour week is just over $40
The strikers are resisting 25 per
cent wage reduction.
