CURED HIS
RHEUMATISM !

81 am eighty-three years old and doctored for
rheumatism since 1 came out of the army,
over fifty years ago. Like many others, I spent
money freely for called cures and | have read
about uric Acid until could almost taste it,
could not sleep nights walk without pain: my
hands were sore and stiff could not hold q pen
But now l am again in active business and can
walk with ease or write all day with comfort
Friends surprised at the CHANGE You might
just as well attempt to put out fire with oil as try
to get rid of your rheumatism, neurits and like
complaints by taking treatment supposed to drive
Uric Acid out of your blood and body. 1t took Mr..
Ashelman fifty years to find oft the truth. He
learned how to get rid of the true OF his
rheumatism, other disorders, and recover his
strength from ''The Inner Mysteries now being
distributed free by an authority who devoted over
twenty years to the scientific study of this trouble

Mysteries of Rheumatism overlooked by doctors
and scientists for centuries past, simply send post

Farmers Discuss Strikes

The National Grange, the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the Cotton
States Board and the Association of
State Farmers Presidents have very
clearly presented their views of strikes
in the following statement:
$50 much has been said in justification
of the organized strike that we deem it
advisable to outline the position of the
farmers upon this all-important question.
We desire to discuss the question more
particularly as applied to the railroads
for the reason that farmers are more d.
rectly affected by railroad strikes than
strikes in other lines of industry or COM
MERGE.
"The statement has been made so often
that organized workers have an inherent
right to strike, that the public generally
has accepted the statement as being true
and, as a result, strikes have in times
past, received to some extent the support
of public opinion. Recent events, how
this question serious consideration, and,
as result, there is a growing demand
that some other method be employed to
bring about the settlement of controver-
sizes between employer and employee. This
demand is more pronounced on the part
of the farmers than of many other classes,
for the reason that they are affected more
directly than most other classes. The
farmers develop a section of country
adapted to the production of erishable
products. They spend vast sums of
money in building houses and barns, dig
ging drainage or irrigation bitches, and
in bringing the land to high state of
| productivity. Such land could not have
been developed if the transportation IA
cilitles had not been such as to insure
that the farmers could get their products
to market with the least possible delay
and before they become unfit for con-
sumption.
"On the other hand, no great city could
be built up if it were not for the fact that
those who live in them may depend, first,
on the farmers of the country to produce
an ample supply of food and, second, on
the railroads to deliver farm products to
city consumers with regularity and as
needed.
at naturally follows that those who
believe that labor has an inherent right
to organize strike believe that such or
CARNATIONS have right to starve the
people of the cities to death, on the one
hand, and to destroy the property of the
farmer on the other, No such right has
ever existed and no such right exists
now. 1t is economically unsound. What
would be the verdict of the people if the
farmers should suddenly decide to strike
and refuse to supply the needs of those
who are not in position to produce food
and clothing for themselves7 They would
be condemned from one end of the coun-
try to the other. If the farmers have no
such moral or legal right, then why should
it be conceded by anyone that those wEo
handle the farmers products have right
to block transportation and thus leopard
ize the food and clothing supply of the
nation? If the farmers have no such
rights, those who handle these products
have no such rights.
The farmers must look to Congress to
solve this great question in the light of
fairness for all and not for the benefit of
tie few, at the expense and perhaps mis-
cry and suffering for ALL"

UNFAIR

The only hope of the "open shop" lies
IN industrial freedom; its claim upon pub
lie favor and support is it's harmony
with the law and with individual liberty.
This being the case, it is hard to see
where any iustitica ton can be found for
the position of Mr.. Eugene E. Grace,
president of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, who says that his company would
not sell ton of fabricated steel to a
dealer or builder who would not assure
him that no union men were employed in
construction. Such a position as that,
taken by the most important concern
engaged in the making of steel for con-
struction purposes in certain fields, is to
all intents and purposes "closed shop"
proceeding. In other words, Mr.. Grace
supports the open shop" by appearing
to close his own shop, and thereby re-
stricting the liberty of action of all who
depend upon it for NATURALIZATION

BOSTON PAYS LESS FOR MILK

Farmers, who supply the Boston mar
ket with milk will receive 1-2c per
quart delivered in Boston for January.
The same price will prevail in most of
the lesser markets of New England as it
is their custom to follow the Boston
price month by month.
The Sales Committee of the New Eng
land Milk Producers Association, as the
sales agent of the farmers, met before
Christmas and after careful consideration
of the market conditions decided to re-
duce the price full cent. The price has
has been 10 1-2c since September 1. In
the past four months The cost of produc-
ton has gone down about 1-2c altogether
but the steady decrease in retail grain
prices will bring down the cost of pro-
duction somewhat in January. Cost
studies made by the Association indicate
this decrease. 1t is probable also that
there will be some decrease in the cost of
labor through the remainder of the win
ter.

INKS. ALEXANDER BRADlEY'S FIVE M
DAUGHTER VERY I'LL. y

Here is little bit of true life put into
letter by a mother of three children. 1t
seems that since birth these children have
been sickly. "But," says Mrs. Alexan-
der Bradley of Danbury, Connecticut,
latter IA long years trying different rem
edies have at last found good medicine
DIR. True's Elixir. My daughter, five
years old, has had so much trouble with
worms and constipation.
"1was nearly discouraged. was giving
the oldest girl something nearly every
night, but now l keep bottle of DR..
True's Elixir handy, and only give it
occasionally. l give two teaspoons at
night and two teaspoons in the morning
with good results. have tried so many
things that now as soon as l see signs of
worms give DIR. True's Elixir for quick
relief.
"My son, IA years of age, was always
troubled with worms when small and
DIR. True's' was unknown to me then. L
always have it on hand now, as have
another small child They even ask for
more. Now please print this letter so
other anxious mothers may know the
good results which follow DR.. True's
Elixir for children suffering with worms
and constipation, as cannot recommend
it too highly"
In these quick, active days we some
times neglect our health Often we eat
too fast and do not allow proper time for
digestion. Consequently we suffer from
restless sleep and are distressed all day
with troublesome headaches, nausea and
general out of-sorts feeling
Symptoms of worms: Offensive breath,
swollen upper lip, deranged stomach, oc-
casional pains about the navel, pale face
of leaden tint, eyes heavy and dull,
twitching eyelids, itching of the nose,

PARIS POST is EFFECTIVE
Organization in French Capital Has s37
Veterans of the A. E. F. on
Membership Rolls.

Over in France where the men who
make up the American Legion fought
and suffered and in the very city
where in the winter of 1919 the Amer
lean Legion was born, there is carry
ing on today large representative
post of the organization. With S37
veterans of the A. E. F. on it's men,
bership rolls and the entire second
floor of a handsome building for its
headquarters the Paris post today is
making its influence felt in caring for
the needs of its members and all for
mer service men.
One of the chief benefits rendered
by the Paris post has been in the way
of obtaining employment for honora-
bly, discharged service men seeking
work In the capital. More than 100
men were placed in positions during
the first seven weeks of the posts
service bureau operations. Helping
men to return home when their funds
are insufficient is another phase of the
work that is bringing relief to many.
The post, which is located in the
building of the American Library as
ISOLATION, at 10 Rue de l'Elysee, has a
hourishing women's auxiliary of some
fifty members with applications COM
ing in all the time. In addition to
serving the American veteran, the
Paris post is striving to strengthen the
bond between France and America
through the younger generation of
Paris by offering yearly prizes for the
best essay written by any boy or girl
in Paris lycee on subject which
connects the history of France and
America.

CASH BONUS PLAN FAVORED
Referendum Laws Adopted by New
York, New Jersey, Washington
and South Dakota.

Four more states adopted referen-
dunn laws providing for the payment
OF cash bonus to veterans of the
World war at the elections on Novem-
Der 2, following well organized cam
paign by American Legion posts and
various civic organizations. The states
We're: New York, $40 a month, $3.50
maximum; New Jersey, $40 a month,
500 maximum; Washington, SIS
month for service up to November II,
1919, and South Dakota, SIS month.
Twelve states, which supplied 1OOO,-
600 men to the army, have now grant
ed the cash compensation. In addi-
ton to the four named above, the cash
bonus states are: Massachusetts, 500,
plus $40 month to January Is, 1918;
Vermont, $40 month, maximum Of
~ months; New Hampshire, 500;
Minnesota, SIS a month, maximum of
500; Wisconsin, $40 a month, mini
mum of $50; Rhode Island, 500;
North Dakota, $25 a month, and
Maine, 500.
In New York the bonus rode to vic
tory by majority of more than
million; the vote in Washington was
three to one in its favor, while in New
Jersey and South Dakota the Legion
naires were successful by large mar
gins.
National officials of the Legion con-
tend that the bonus referendums show
conclusively that the people of the
United States favor compensation for
eX-service men and they propose to re
double their efforts to obtain the pas
sage of the Legion's fourfold nation
al bonus law in the next congress.

WHAT POST WILL ADOPT HERR
Little French Orphan Whose Father
Was Killed In Defending vsrdun
From the 1oche.

Little Denise Seller is now ten years
old. She was six when her father was
killed defending Verdun from the

daughter of the American civilian en-
ployees of the Central Printing plant,
at II Rue de FAqueduc, Paris. Now
the Americans have gone home and
Denise and her invalid mother, her lit
tie brother and aged grandmother find
it very hard to make ends meet.
Many posts of the American Legion

THE MEETING ADJOURNED

After five weeks session the convo-
cation of the Assem- bly, of the League OF
Nations adjourned to meet next Septem-
her. Many changes in the Covenant
were proposed each of which was referred
to separate special committee and it is
presumed these committees will report al
the September meeting when some OF
these changes may be adopted and a
batch of new amendments will be offered
Making "the world safe for democracy
and ''achieving international peace and
security" seems to be slow and tedious
process especially when those engaged in
the work receive large salaries. AL
most all the members desired that the
Assembly should have some control over
League action especially as to mandator-
les The repres entative for Great Brit
ain, Mr.. Balfour, said his country would
not be limited by anything the Assembly
proposed in this matter. The Covenant
provides that only unanimous action in
the Assembly shall be binding upon any
member. We are glad MIR. Balfour made
1t plain that Great Britain's one vote in
The negative, on any proposition, would
prevail over the combined votes of all
the other members of the Assembly.
After reading the dispatches from Cen
eva we reached the conclusion that the
Assembly meeting adjourned without
achievement We were mistaken The
publicity department of the Assembly
which has rare and enviable ability to
extract sunbeams from cucumbers, has
specifically called our attention to score
OF constr uctive accomp lishments to the
credit of the Assembly. Among these
IS mentioned the fact that s'the adoption
OF budget placed the League on a sound
financial basis" We have investigated
TO some extent and we fully agree with
this statement. The treaty provided for
a Preparations Commission to consist of
seven members The Assembly fixed the
salary of each at 100000 a year. The
Commi ssion may appoint any number of
secret aries, agents, committees and other
assistants and fix the salary of each.
The Secretary General of the League was
named by the "big five" when the Cow
enant was written. His title and name
IS Sir James Eric Drummond and of
course he is an Englshman. The Assem-
bly, fixed his salary at $4,000. Sir
James has appointed unto himself three
Under Secretaries and to one of these
the Assembly allowed ia salary of $50, 600
and to each of the others a salary of
$40, 600, There are six directors with
salaries ranging from $4,000 to $25, OOr.
Salaries varying from $500 down to
S5, 900 were fixed for 48 members of ill.,
dicial, political and adminstrated COM
missions The head of the Labor Bureau
is to have $50, 900 for his salary
We might mentiont a few hundred
Others but 1t is not necessary. We admit
Ghat the League is on a sound financial
ass. Doubtless SOME of our readers

1t is stated that President Wilson has
purchased residence in Washington and
will occupy it soon after the fourth of
March. 1t is suggested that the new
residence is to be a place where Demo-
cratic statesmen may 60 for inspiration
and that Mr.. Wilson intends to shape
the course of the Democratic party in
the future as he certainly has done dur
Ing the past eight years.. The purchase
OF this residence has been subject to
some criticism. We fail to see any rea-
son why Mr.. Wilson should not reside in
washington if he wishes to do so and NO
fair minded person will deny his right to
voice his political views.
