RHEUMATISM

IT'S GOMEZ That awful agonyl

But rheumatism will bring pain
and misery to your joints and mus

out plenty Of rich, red blood in your
system.
It's the red-blood-cells that 8. 8. 8
helps Nature build that drive out OF
your system the impurities that
cause rheumatism. And until you
DO build up your blood to where 1t
Is pure and rich and red, you sim
ply can't get rid of rheumatism.
And s. s. 8. is the thing. Bed
blood conquers rheumatism. Every
body knows that.
S. s. s. means millions Of red
Embellishments health all over
No more rheumatism. Nights OF
rest - days of Joy,

That's what the end OF rheuma

The sale of vodka in Russia has
Eeen legaiized recently and 1t was
pointed out by the officials that the
ma jority of murders were committed
during holidays when the peasant
inhabitants of the small towns and
villages are accustomed to indulge
heavily in this drink.
There were 1900 condemned to
death and shot during this period
official figures show. One thousand
OF these sentences were for bandltry.
A total of 900 were sentenced
during 1925 for serious. crimes war
ranfing penitentiary punishment.
This is more than 10000 a month
and indicates that one out OF every
/ 900 inhabitants was sentenced dur
ing the year.
On the other hand, It was pointed
out that only 500 were tried for
counter revolutionary crimes. This
is considerably less than for the
previous year. Soviet law is retro
active against any counter revolu.
tionary act committed before the
