Had Rheumatism
For Many Years
Got relief at last from
treatment with Sloan's

A martyr to rheumatism for al
most a lifetime, a man from Wy
ocena, Wis, writes that he can
always get relief with a simple
home treatment.
"As a man of seventy, for years
sufferer from rheumatism, |
want to give my recommendation
for Sloan's Liniment," he says. ut
is a fine remedy and will do all
that is claimed"
SloanS has been the standby of
rheumatic sufferers for years
because it doesn't just deaden the
nerves. 1t helps the body to
throw off the germs and poisons
that cause the trouble by speeding
up the circulation right i'll the
affected spots.
Apply a little lightly. without
rubbing Immediately you feel a
warm glow of comfort Stiff
joints and muscles timber up.
And soon you are completely free
from pain. All druggists-35 cents.

BUD" FISHERS WIFE
GRANTED SEPARATION
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 3.-Harry
G. BUD Fisher, cartoonist and race
horse owner, who fell in love at sea
and got married at sea, was at sea
when his wife was granted separa
ton.
Charles E. Kelley, counsel for the
cartoonist, said Fisher was on his way
abroad to procure some witnesses and
requested adjournment.
"Probably,' was the ironical re-
Spouse OF Charles Fl. futile, attorney
for Mrs Fisher, the former Countess
Aedita De Beaumont, Fisher wants
to call Mutt and jeff to the stand
The fact is, believe, he is not here
because he is afraid to answer ques-
tons regarding his income. We are
ready and insist upon an immediate
trial.
After the exchange between attor
neys Supreme Court Justice Tierney
denied the motion for adjournment
and ordered the trial to proceed. Mrs
Fisher took the stand in her own be-
half.
Separation was asked on grounds
of cruelty, neglect and failure to sup
port. The alimony question was left
open to future argument yesterday.
Fisher arrived from Europe on the
LeViathan with the countess, a widow
and winner of Paris beauty prize,
in October 1925, to announce that
they were to be married. A few days
later the marriage was performed at
sea as the couple returned to Europe
on the Leviathan. They lived to-
gether for only six months.

sohdly against the bill. This time
gen-McNary leaders. have been
gwen assurance that all but one or two
members from that State will line up
on the affirmative side. AS a result of
TINS agreement to place tobacco under
the Dill, it is also expected a few addi-
tonal votes will be gained In Tennes-
see, North Carolina and Virginia.
Leaders of the farm bloc In the
House predicted these gains assured
passage of the Haugen- McNary bill in
That body, possibly without making
the further concession Of deferment of
application of the equalization fee for
q year on all farm products, as has
been suggested. Last year the Haul
gen McNary bill fell As votes short of
majority in the House, but only a
handful in the Senate.
The proposition of the tobacco
group was made to Chairman Haugen
and other farm bloc leaders by Repre-
sentative David H. Kincheloe of Ken
lucky at a conference yesterday. The
latter is a member of the House agri,
cultural committee and bitterly OPP
posed the farm bill last session.
Several days ago a convention repre-
senting some $4,000 farmers of the
Dark Tobacco Growers Association
went on record for the Haugen-
McNary bill, and officially asked to
have tobacco included in it's scope
Agree ON Tobacco Clause.
Upon the promise of votes from the
tobacco districts for the entire
Haugen-McNary plan, so it was said
after the conference, farm bloc leaders
agreed that Representative Kincheloe
should offer a tobacco amendment
from the floor, when the bill came up,
and they would help to pass 1t.
The shift of the tobacco groups
probably marks the biggest single
gain by the proponents of that form
of farm legislation within the past
two years. Hitherto. the tobacco CO.
operatives, among the largest in the
country. have been torn with internal
strife over whether to join in the
Haugen-McNar movement or to stay
out The prevailing influence. with
Aaron Shapiro. the cooperative ex-
pert. largely guiding the course, has
been adverse to such legislation,
urging that the co-operatives should
stand on their own feet and in time
he legislation would injure their or
,aniZat lions.
No agreement yet has been had on
lotion. That still is the sticking point
IN the bill, and the legislative situa-
lion. Many of the cotton members
ire still opposed to applying the equal
zation fee on cotton and will not
;tand for the measure, unless some
other method of relief for cotton is
worked out. Senator Pat Harrison is
pressing his cotton insurance plan,

causing very serious apprehension In
business and political circles very
close to the government. 1t is moi
only a question of 1880. 000, 900 in
vested in China by British business
men. but abdication of treaty rights
which is considered by those in close
touch with the situation as a direct
danger to the entire empire.
In long conversation between re-
sponsible crown officers and business
men the question of India and the
Malay States was frankly discussed
and ii was pointed out that 81 weak
policy In China and the eventual
abandoning of British rights there
will undoubtedly have such a roper
cussion in Indian and other Eastern
possessions that the question of hold
ing those colonies will be put on the
carpet, doubtless within the next ! 2
months
Soviet Blamed As Usual.
AS usual the Soviet government is
credited with the engineering of
Far Eastern intrigues. The Russian
government, though communistic, is
following the old czarist policy re
garding Great Britain and Is doing
it's utmost to undermine the British
in India and in other ASiatic posses
sions. This policy was inaugurated
in 1921, when Russia supported the
Turks against the British, and the
present Chinese developments are
nothing else but corollary of the
weakness shown by the British in
handling the Turks. A high official
told the correspondents:
THE congress at Baku in 1922 laid
the foundation of Russia's Asiatic pol
Nx-hn
members that their Asiatic policy
should be an awakening of national
ism in that part of the world in order
to free them from the English yoke.
Russia has followed up this policy
with remarkable consistency and the
present events in China are nothing
but a consequence of that policy.
Agents have been spreading propa-
ganda throughout the country and fire.
quently have pointed out to the
Chinese leaders that determined efforts
against the British will be as success
full as Mustapha Kemals.'
Effect on India Seen.
If the British government goes too
far in the line of concessions to Chi
nese nationalists the bolshevist agents.
who are already active among the
Indian nationalists, will exploit the
British surrender to China for all it is
worth, and while the situation in In.
dia, where there are 10000 white
troops, is very much different than in
China, the government should look
forward to endless trouble there.
I'VE are in a difficult position be-
cause we are all alone in this game.
The United States has no vital in
terest in China and Japan is follow
ing its own policy, which is desire
to see all the white races out of
China in order to be able to pursue
unhandicapped its own policy there"
said the same informant I'VE are
unable to obtain Japanese cooperation
now because the Toxic government
wanted us to withdraw our promise
to abide by the Washington decision
regarding the surtaxes. We are con-
sequently forced to send troops
which we did not desire to send to the
Far East. But if we bow now before
the nationalist tide, as the circum-
stances seem to indicate, do not
know what will happen next year In
India

the Osteopathic Association, this three.
day course was organized, and they
claim it actually was little more than
a diploma sale, and that for q chiro-
practtc to learn osteopathy in three
days would be just as impossible as
Tor the same man to learn regular
medicine in the same time
No authority is required to practice
osteopathy in Washington. A diploma
is valuable only for the atmosphere
OF authority and learning which it
gives to the doctors office. There
are no examinations, despite the
courts recognition that osteopathy is
one of the established branches of
healing. The osteopath can do every
thing the doctor of medicine, who has
passed a rigid board examination, can
do except administer medicines and
conduct surgical operations.
Condition Called Dangerous.
This has resulted, says DR.. Albert
II. Parham, secretary of the associa
ton, in a regrettabIe and dangerous
condition. Anybody can be listed as
an osteopath In the city or telephone
directories. The stranger who wishes
to consult one of these physicians
takes up a telephone directory and
makes an appointment with the nrSt
name in the list which strikes his
eye. The chances are greatly against
getting in touch with an osteopath
who is a graduate of a scientifically
recognized college.
The list secured by the Osteopathic
Association, officials emphasize, is not
inclusive, nor Is it indicated that a
man or woman whose name is listed
is incompetent. But, they say. with
out board examinations, education car
be the only standard.

of mutual understanding.
AS evidence that the policy will re-
main unchanged. Chancellor Marx
called attention TO the fact that both
he and Foreign Minister Stresemann
remained in the respective positions
they held before, which they would
not have done, he said. unless they
had been assured by the other cabinet
members of their unanimous personal
support as well as the support Of the
parties standing back of the coali-
ton.
While expressing satisfaction that
the Ruhr and Northern Rhineland
zone had been evacuated. the interal-
lied military control commission aban-
doned and the disarmament question
satisfactorily disposed of, the govern
ment believed that nevertheless il
will need earnest work to achieve the
moral and political equality among ma
t1ons due our nation.
Therefore. it was necessary TO bring
about evacuation of the second and
third Rhineland zones, without which
evacuation relations with other ma
tons, it believed, could not develop
favorably. The declara ton empha-
sized Germany's determination also
to maintain amicable relations with
those countries not members OF the
League Of Nations.
The balance of the declaration was
taken up with internal matters; the
government promised to reduce un.
employment and improve the condi-
ton Of the workers. The Washington
agreement, regarding the eight-hour
day, ii said, would be ratified, pro
vided the other Western States did
likewise.

to renewal of negotiations between the

Although the outcome of any new
conversations between British Cnarge
O'MalIey and Eugene Chen, cantonese
foreign minister. would have little Ell
feet on AmericanChinese relations,
because this country has no such con-
cession problem to face. Chinese situa-

would advance greatly the prospects
of further dealings in other peaceful
directions.
No Direct London Advices.
The British embassy says the Lon
don government has not indicated any
intention to change it's policy as to
sending large protective forces to
Shanghai as a result of the Cantonese
nrotest against such a move. London
dispatches reporting new instructions
as having been sent Charge O'Malley,
however indicate that some OF these
forces may be diverted to other points.

were considerably relieved today over
REPORTS from Admiral c. w. Williams,
commanding the Asiatic fleet, declar-
ing the evacuation of American and
British citizens from interior Chinese
provinces was being carried out with
out a sign of disturbance.
Twenty-four Americans and so Eng
lish, he reported, had joined gen.
eral exodus from Chung King, SZech-
wan province, while many Japanese
were preparing to leave Changsha,
already evacuated by IL Americans
and an unknown number of British
women and children. The latter went
to Hankow.
Strike i'm Shanghai.
A strike in a Chinese-owned cotton
mill was described as the only dis
turbance interfering with generally
quiet situation at Shanghai, where
british and American naval forces are
concentrating. Agitators there, Ad-
miral Williams said, apparently had
been silenced by the arrival of bat
talon of punjabs, British Indian sol
