Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Use AIIenrhu

Mr.. James H. Allen. OF 2s Forbes St.,
Rochester, N. 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 accu-
mulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a 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
velous success. After years of urging
he decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers. He has therefore instruct
ed Peoples Drug Stores and druggists
everywhere to dispense Allenrhu with
the understanding that If his pl escrip-
tion does not Danish every sign and
symptom of the disease he will gladly
return your money without comment.

The Theater Season
In Moscow
BY RUTH EPPERsoN KENNEL

TIME Mali Qittle), on the 1nagnif>
4 cent theater square just across
fron the Bolshoi Opera House, ls the
old dramatic theater In Moscow,
where some Of the actors have been
playing for many years It therefore
smells strongly Of the past, is fondest
of old melodramas, especially foreign,
and is popular with the older genera
ton. But new play 'Zagmukg" by a
Russian dramatist, the story Of a serf
uprising in ancient times, Is creating
general interest because OF It's beau
tiful staging and sensational plot.
Lunacharsky's wife plays a leading
role. Here we ind some OF the magnk
fcept scan1c effects OF the Boashoss
gray stone wzls flung up against q
deep blue sky are altered to form the
different gets, courtyard. a market
place. the corridors Of palace, the
walls Of q city. The most beaEtxenl
scene is a rich interior IN warm red
and gold whose balcony looks cat ON
the walls and parapets OF a fortified
city standing afar OF against the
stars.
The heroine Is sold by her father,
In payment Of a fine imposed by the
overload, and put up for auction,
naked, in the market place. Her lover
buys her, but the king sees and takes
her for himself. One of the princes,
a defender OF the oppressed, betriends
her and Is consequently thrown Into
prison. There he plots an uprising to
take place ON "Zagmuk," the holiday
Of the serfs, the one day in the year
when the people can do what they
Hks. On this day, the king and his
consort In magnificent robes mount
their golden thrones raised on the
stone steps outside the palace, and
with impressive ceremonies hberate
the prince, who is acclaimed ruler by
the serfs. His first act Is to demand
the kings wife, and upon receiving
her, he puts her up for auction, fore

A PEEK EACH WEEK
AT MOTION PICTURES
HTHE STRONG MAN."

IF you are tired of Indians, bad men,
: good women and heaving chests In
the movies, see this picture, You VIII
see Harry Langdon. Here Is first
rate mimic whose antics are a pleas
ure to see, One OF these lucky days
he is going to get something to act IN
that will give better scope for his
real ability. When he gets it, this
comic cut-up will take his place as a
real comedian and second only to
Charles Chaplin,
We advise you to see this picture
(showing at the oriental), # only to
see LangdOn with most realistic and
amusing cold. OF you can get any
fun out of a coldi) It's so real It
will make your nose run. 1t Is also
bit of mimicry the equal Of any
we have ever seen anywhere. 1t
would do credit to Charlie himself.
Do you remember the scene in
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" in which
LangdOn was "doped"i This IS even
better.
There is a good deal of waste mo-
ton in both plot and action. The plot
is far below even the level of the
usual comedy standard. And brother
that IS low! However, there are oc-
casional situations that are really
laugh-provoking, and Harry Langdon
makes most of these in true artistic
fashion.
With all its faults, this is the kind
Of picture In which you win find a
good deal of wholesome fun. If you
are in Chicago you can easily risk
seeing it. If you don't like the movie
there is Paul Ash. And If you don't
like this Jazzmaniac-well,m maybe you
are growing old.

NO QUICK TUMBLE
IN RUBBER LIKELY
Supply and Demand Expect
ed to Keep Prices High
for Several Years.
BY j. G. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, February Livery
restriction against the production and
export Of crude rubber from her Far
Eastern possessions was removed to-
day by Great Britain For the time
being, at least, the Stevenson plan FOR
regulating the amount of rubber per
mitted for export, and which aroused
so much interest and contention In
political and commercial circles, Is
non operative.
According to the American Rubber
Manufacturers and their supporters,
this so called ubiquitous regulation
was responsible for the high price of
rubber and was enabling Great Bri-
tain to gouge the American consumer
to the extent of scores of millions an
nually. 1t might have been thought
from these assertions by those not
fully Informed that when the plan was
nullifled, prices would have dropped
to the level obtaining before 1t went
into effect. Such was not the case.
The law Of supply and demand today
was found still to be operative and
fully as effective in sustaining prices
as the Stevenson scheme.
The English advocates of the Stew
enson measure say that American
manufacturers simply failed to learn
their lesson and misjudged the situa-
tion as to the amount of rubber avail
able, the demand and the price trend.
Rapid Growth i'm Demand.
American rubber consumers for
their part say 1t is intolerable that IA

TRADE VIEWS DIVIDED.
Confusion in Business Trend Noted
in Weekly Reviews.

NEW YORK. February | CP).-The
confusion Of business tendencies was
reflected in the cautious tenor of the
weekly mercantile reviews, one of
which noted an apparent slowing up
in trade and industry, while another
found that encouraging prospects pre-
dominated. Manufacturing and dis
tributing lines are more active than a
year ago, but it must be conceded that
they are not moving with the speed
exhibited earlier in the month, said
Rradstreet's. Agreeing that conserva-
tism still governed operations, Dun's
held, however, that even in lines where
results had not wholly met expecta-
tions, as in the principal metal trades.

LESS BORROWING LIKELY.
Business Men to Use More of Own
Funds During 1926.

That increased gross sales are eX-
pected during 1926 is illustrated by
the anticipated increase in pay roll.
AS many as 63 per cent of business
men expect to add to their pay roll
in 1926. This percentage, says the
Magazine of Wall Street, parallels
closely those who are expanding
their business facilities. who are fully
65 per cent of those replying.
In other words, almost two-thirdS
of business men expect to equip them
selves for more business. on their
own money, but they expect q CORE
spending increase in costs. This Is
confirmed by the rather interesting
replies to the question, 'Will net
profits be larger?" Whereas So per
cent believe that gross sales will in
crease. one-fourth of those that so
believe are not convinced that they
will conduct this increased business
at a greater profit.
Increases in cost, rising proper
tionately with increase in business,
are obviously an important factor, as
inStanCed by pay roll increases On
the other hand. a great many believe
that despite pay roll expansion, net
profits will rise. They constitute a
considerable minority.

The first point on which informa-

The second matter to be looked into

Other things being equal, the man
who is in active touch with trade and
industry is justified in assuming a
large risk and attempting a higher
return on his investments than one
whose daily occupation is entirely di-
vOrced from the developments which

for instance, the position OF a banker
whose business it is to study finance
with that of a doctor, every moment
Of whose working day is taken up
