1t was a good deal of surprise, even
in their own set here, to learn that Mrs.
Koo was still in Washington. During
the first month of the conference she
was very much in evidence. One met
her everywhere, and nearly always she
had with her a wonderful little Peking-
csc dog, no larger than small kitten,
beautifully bred and perfectly trained.

out of sight. Soon afterward the New

PROHIBITION AT WORST BETTER THAN LICENSE
 AT BEST, SAYS LEADER

PRINCETON, H., Oct. 18.-Pro- hibtion at it's worst is better than license at it's best, declared Clar- ence True Wilson, secretary of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Epis- cOpal church in reporting lately a five months survey by that board of conditions in Chicago. It was made to the Rock River Metho- dist conference.
 Secretary Wilson said that Chi cago was selected for this study "because it was desired to uncover prohibition at it's worst" The con- mittee compared wet and dry years in their relation to crime, welfare and relief health, thrift and pros- perity and general business con- ditions. In each case, he said, the advantage was shown to exist since the advent of prohibition days.
 "The effect upon crime alone fully justifies the policy of prohibition in Chicago" the report states. At the same time, note of alarm must be sounded. Current crime sta tistics plainly reveal that the wet propaganda intended to incite un- informed or evil-minded people to violation of the prohibition law and to the consumption of Equoir is having an effect. Good results, so noticeable at first, are being modi- fed" The report cites statistics of the medical superintendent of the House of Correction who stated that in 1918, 345 cases of acute alcoholism were reported and in 1921 this num- Der decreased to 61. Chronic alcohol ism cases in 1918 totaled 1,614 and dropped to 127 in 1921. Three cases of delirium tremens were reported in 1921 as compared with 109 in 191S
 i While the bank clearings in 1921 were almost the same as in 1918 the total savings deposits increased from SPAS, ,436,913 to $5O9,OS6,96S. Elm ployers of labor throughout the city almost invariably declare that pro- hibition has increased efficiency, de- creased absenteeism, and improved the general physical condition of the men.

CHURCH REMOVES
 BAN ON T0LST0l

MOSCOW, Oct. 20.--The anathema of communication, pronounced more than 20 years ago by the Russian Or thodox church against Count Leo Tol- stoi, the most internationally famous of Russian authors, has been can celled by the recent all-Russian church conclave held at Moscow to reform and simplify the Orthodox worship. Count Tolstoi was thus posthumously restored to good standing in the church.
 The anathema was pronounced be- cause Tolstoi's works were considered as attacks upon the church.

'FRANCO-CERMAN
 ALLIANCE SEEN BY LUDENDORFF.

PARIS, Oct 20. - Economic alIi- ance between France and Germany and the disappearance of hostility be- tween the two peoples-General Lu- dendorff, now fifty-four years old, de- clares possible and expects to see it before his death.
 q am convinced that if one could make the German people look for ward to a different sort of future, based on the important interests which they have in common with France, Germany could work in accord with France for the re-establishment of Flu rope and the greater good of both countries;" he told a special cores pondent of the Echo de Paris, who in terviewed him at his villa near Munich.
 The correspondent found the former warrior engaged in riding his hobby, that is to say, tending his fancy rose bushes.
 "It is believed in France that secret military preparations are being made by private German organizations against France What does Your Ex- cellency think on this subject?" the correspondent asked.
 q have said publicly before,' was nd terial have been taken away from Ger many; that German war industries have been destroyed Therefore a German war against French armies, abundantly prepared with every pos sible modern means of warfare, is thing not even to be thought of, at least for a long time.
 "To me it is absolutely incompre- hensible how anyone in France can fear German organizations which, when they exist, exist only to protect Germany against a Bolshevist revolu tion.
 "How, then, do you interpret, my General" was the next question, the sentiment of hate against France which seems to grow and grow among the German people?"
 "It is true," Ludendorff replied, "that since the end of the war an tipathy to France has grown consld- erablv. But believe the cause of it IS to be found in French policy.
 History shows that war is a nasty job and that the lot of the vanqusH9 is bitter. During and after the conclu- sion of peace France imposed on the empire drastic conditions incapable of being executed, which menace the very existence of the German people. French policy has outrageously wounded the national pride of the | German people, and it is not strange that German patriots are soured by these proceedings.
 France sees a menace ill the re establishment of patriotic esprit m l Germany. For this reason France be- lieves herself constrained to imN"@' harder measures on the German peo- ple; these measures augment anew German animosity against France.
 "It is up to France to take the first step to make this animosity disap- pear
 q am certain that, if France firr realizes that the policy of expressing Germany is leading both nations [" ruin, she will sooner or later change her policy"
 It was at this point that the General made his prophecy that the two peo- ples must and will become allies to safeguard their common interests.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take
Salts.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a weH-known author
ity. Weare advised to dress warmly;
keep the feet dry; avoid exposure
eat less meat, but drink plenty of
good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of reeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are
closed thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the
uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
