as well. They remain in prison, where they de-
serve to be, but thousands of mothers and chill
dren throughout the land are mourning the loss
of husbands and fathers who lie in the eternal
clasp of death over yonder in the Argonne, and
in Flanders Field or in the black abyss of ocean
graves. Could these prisoners have had their
way, the number Of national heroes who made
the last and greatest sacrifice might have been
vastly increased, and millions of our loyal people
possibly enslaved under the barbarism of Ger
man Imperialism.
1--WE have no war prisoners no political
prisoners These men were tried and convicted
as common criminals under the administration
of President Wilson. And President Harding is
right in keeping them where they are.
Anyone who knows the president at all
knows how tenderly human he is, and well may
believe that his heart goes out to these innocent
children and disconsolate mothers who, under i'll
advisement, have sought to gain his ear But
anyone who knows him at all also will be aware
that the first consideration with the president
ever will be his duty to the trust which the ma
ton has reposed in him. In refusing to coun-
tenance this crusade the president merely acts
in conformity with the demands of the high duty
which he owes to the republic"

Has Powerful Influence Over
Rheumatism
Druggists Guarantee First Pint Bottle
of Ailenrhu to Show the Way to
Complete Recovery.

Mr.. James H. Allen, of Congress Ave-
nue. Rochester, N. Y, suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him help1es and IN
able 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, are dissolved In the joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fin
ally compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished 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 mar
Vicious success. After years of urging
he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers and instructed druggists to
guarantee a full pint bottle as above
stated. All Observation-Disclosures

After Dinner Tricks


The performer borrows a handker-
chief, and. holding it by corners diagon-
ally opposite, twists it into a sort of
rope. Drawing on the ends, he ap-
parently stretches the handkerchief to
abou. twice its length.
The trick is largely an optical illu
sion. In twisting the handkerchief
the ends are held punched up in the
hands, as shown in the illustration.
The performer pulls hard on each end
and gradually pays out the cloth bit
by bit, until the ends are held by the
finger tips. The handkerchief Is
Stretched with short jerks, a little
slack being allowed after each tug,
and an extra twist being made each
tine to keep the rope shape. Every
jerk seems to stretch the cloth q little
more. By. holding the right hand near
the chest, and extending the left arm
with each pull, the illusion is made more
perfect.
