Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H Allen, of Rochester,
Y, 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 accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind ne consulted
physicians, made experiments and fin
ally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banisiIed every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allenrhu. to others who took
1t, with what might be called marvellous
success. After years of urging he de-
cided to let sufferers everywhere know
about his discovery through the news
papers He has therefore instruct ed
druggists everywhere to dispense Al

Romance Found in Inheritances
$8s564sS9 is Staggering Sum Bequeathed to Heirs Be-
tween September, 1916, and January, 1922,

tates are those which pay the great
est taxes. for instance, the average
tax paid on the estates in the group
of $10,000,000 and over was over S4,-
000,0 ,000
1t is a curious fact that the bene-
ficiaries of wills greatly dislike to give
up to the tax collector any part of the
sum inherited, in spite Of the fact
that it is practically a gift for which
no labor was performed. and some
times comes from a distant relative
who was stranger. This curious
disinclination to part with any of one
winnings from the chance hand of for
tune is illustrated by the tale Of the
woman who sued to break a will. Sne

pected a beQuest and went to cour+
She lost the case and, OF course, the
sum she desired.

was rendered. "At least l won't have

The inheritance tax is levied on
net estates, that is, what remains af-
ter the various deductions permissi-
Bile under the tax laws are made. The
estates listed In the period under re.
view were brought down to a net fig
ure Of $5,407,673,531 and the tax levied
upon that sum.
Deductions are of various eharact-
ers. In the first place there is a
specific deduction of $4,000 for all
estates and no one who leaves less
than that sum has his bequests cur
tailed by the tax.
For the period under review there
were 5,643 such estates having a gross
value of s437,471,290.

shelves The dweIlers In rural districts have
fewer distractions of El1is kind, which gives some
justification for the claim that they are better
readers than city folk
yet the prolific printing presses are flooding
even the rural districts with countless period
icals and it is all wrong to suggest that there are
too many of them. the only just criticism is
that even the best readers often succumb to the
tendency toward the neglect of real authors and
real books in the easier occupation of consuming
predigested literature.
"An essayist in the Boston Transcript says:
Small wisdom viii be his whose knowledge of
books is confined to the book reviews, however
valuable these may be as guideposts and inter
prefers. The gateway to literature lies in read
ing study and reflection, and now for setting
about this task in good earnest, no month is
more suspicious than that which sees again the
cheer of the autumnal fireSide.'

The Evening Lamp

'There are lonely outposts, as far north as
the Arctic circle, where cultured shut-ins' pass
most of the long winter days and evenings in
the company of favorite authors" says the Chi

radio equipments.
"In the temperate zone which includes the
bulk of the worlds population, the autumn and
winter evening reading lamps are in full swing

"About next April the call Of the great out
doors will gradually sidetrack the calls of the

That is the reason why wills, miss

SO prominent place in the stories Of
literature and the stage. They are
properties of the Goddess Fortune

the cold statistics of the internal rev.

of the estates which are transmitted
in the United States, are of absorb

no such facts may be divulged. The
