Tells How To Get Rid of
Rheumatism I'm 48 Hours

leaving deposits so deep seated that
they cannot be reached-this often
means that the takers of drugs for
relief only are disabled for life.
II every person who is afflicted
with rheumatic manifestations
would start at once to get the uric
acid out of the blood--it would per-
haps mean the avoidance of Grip.
pied joints IN years to come.
This can be done by taking one
tablespoonful of Allenru three
times a day-Allenru acts on the
blood and drives from it the uric
acid that causes your rheumatic
agony, and does It in 48 hours.
You can get generous bottle Of
Allenru at Clements Drug Store or
any progressive druggist for IS cents
take it with every assurance tina,
it is real enemy of uric acld-and
of rheumatic conditions--and bear
in mind, If 1t doesn't do as adver-
tised-money back. Allenru is just
as good for sciatica. Adv.

CERMAK TAKES
POSSESSION OF
MAYORS OFFICE

CHICAGO, April 9.U.D - The
change in municipal leadership
which Chicagoans decreed by rec
d-shattering vote came about to-
day with amazing swiftness as
Mayor Elect Anton j. Cermak
moved without ceremony into the
city hall where Big Bill Thompson
previously had ruled
1t was a great day, and q busy
one, for Cermak, marking as it did
the climax OF his steady. rise from
immigrant boy and mine worker to
the mayorship of the worlds fourth
largest city.
Leaders in the city's business, pro-
fessional and church life declared
it was as big" day for Chicago
rs 1t was for Cermak.
County Judge Edmond K. Jarecki
said the board of election commits
sioners would announce early the
official vote of Tuesdays election,
In which Big Bill. the old master" !"
was turned out of office by an un-
officia, vote of 667,529 to 475,6l3.
All that remained for Cermak TO
become mayor in fact after the
votes were cast was for them To be
counted officially--and never in the
history OF Chicago was an election
canvass completed in such haste.
II was arranged to swear in new
aldermen and other elected Off
cials today, then TO induct Cermak
formally into office at o'clock this
afternoon.
A special meeting of the new
/ council, composed OF 80 Democrats
and 20 Republicans, was called for
that hour so the new mayor could
assume active control, have his bond
approved, and begin In fact the ad-
ministrative cleanup" which he
said would elevate Chicago to its
proper place in the world"
The new mayor last night named
two OF the men he will appoint TO
/ his cabinet.
Colonel Albert A. Sprague, he an
/ nounced will be commissioner OF
public works and Francis X. Busch
will be corporation counsel, at least
for 60 days. Cermak made 1t plain
! he would turn out OF office all MEM
bers OF the old Thompson cabinet.

UNCLE WIGGuY'S FUNNY BATH

This certainly is very funny
said Uncle Wiggily. The old rabbit
gentleman wasn't talking about his
bath then. That comes farther on
in the story. II tell you when.
Very funny indeedl' murmured
Mr.. Longears. Il wonder what does
it?"
He was sitting at an ice cream
table in the five and ten cent store.
Uncle Wiggily had taken Jackie
Bow Wow to get some ice cream as
a treat and, all OF a sudden, into
the store popped the Fox. The Fox
was just going to nibble the bunny
uncle, when, all of sudden, while
Uncle Wiggily had his paws held
high in the air over his head, the
ice cream table began to tip and
dance and bob about. This fright
ened the Fox and he ran away.

Thousands of we'll meaning peo-
pie are taking the chance of being
crippled for life with rheumatism.
When a rheumatic attack occurs
they seek to deaden the pain with
handy relievers-a method that usu-
ally ends with disastrous results.
Every rheumatic sufferer knows
that painful, swollen, inflamed
joints and muscles are caused by
an excess of uric acid in the blood.
When you drive this troublesome
uric acid from the blood you are
getting rid OF the cause of rheuma-
tism-relievers won't do this.
While you are taking the nerve

MOOSE LAKE HIGH
WINS B. B. HONORS
Continued from Page -

On Saturday evening came the con-
ISOLATION game between Barnum and
Finlayson, which the former team won
Pine City-Moose Lake game was a
thriller, but the Lakers were too much
for Pine City and won by the score
of q to Is. Pine City fought des-
perately for the first quarter and sue
ceeded in holding the score even at
to for the first quarter. Moose
Lake picked up speed in the second
quarter and finished the half in the
lead with a ii to 4 score. However,
Pine City did not concede the game
and surprised their supporters by win
ming the third quarter, by a 6 to 1
count making the score at this point
in the game, Is to 10 in Moose Lakes
favor. In the final period, Moose Lake
seemed to hit their full speed and
had smooth working system of plays
that enabled them to come out the
winner by the safe score of ~ to Is.
After the final game, Superintendent
Brown of Hinckley, presented the
Moose Lake team with the district
trophy and congratulated them on
their fine playing The Pine City
quint was awarded the new basket
ball used in the last game.
Undisputed honors in the tourna-
ment were given to Captain Becker of
the Moose Lake team. He played a
consistent game throughout the entire
tournament but his incest piece of
work was his all around floor play
in the final game and his netting -
of the 25 points. Others who seemed
to be outstanding in their play were
Ford of Moose Lake, Lumby of Bar
mum, Bob Arth of Finlayson, w. John
son of Sandstone.
The officials handling the games
were Roderick Kern of the Duluth
" M. C.. A. and Coach Marsh Diebold
of Carleton college. The games
were well attended by fans from all
of the towns having teams and there
was much friendly rivalry and root
ing. Superintendent F. G. Jones of
Pine City managed the tournament
and Superintendent L. w. Brown of
Hinckley acted as chief scorer and
timer.
Moose Lake, by virtue of winning
the tournament, is entitled to continue
in the race for state honors and will
compete next week in the regional
tournament to be held in some north
ern city.

broom making, ETC., we approve OF,
but their chief value is as occupa-
tional therapy. The few extra dol
lars thus made would not hurt man
with a pension of dollar a day if he
had no property income.
The pension plan is in line with the
best social work precedents. First
children, then the insane, and lately
the tubercular, have been lifted out of
ordinary public relief. Should not
the blind come next? Remember that
the blind as class are dependent be-
cause they are blind, and not blind
because they have the qualities or
dinarily associated with dependents
improvidence and dissipation. Should
the blind bear the stigma of the
spend-thrift and the drunkard?

SMALL PERCENTAGE
OF BLIND ABLE TO
SUPPORT SELVES

Since there are number of blind
people out over the state and since
it is problem in the minds of many
as to how they support themselves
or are supported. An article written
by Christopher EaSton of White Bear
Lake, and published in the Minneapo-
lis Tribune some time ago is of in
terest to many. Mr.. Easton was
prompted to write the article by a
certain report that many of the blind
were able to support themselves. Mr..
Easton's article addressed to the
editor of the Tribune follows:
A recent news item in your col
umns quotes Mr.. Jones of the Kiwanis
club as saying that the majority of
adult blind in Minneapolis are self
supporting. There must be mistake
somewhere for l doubt whether the
most enthusiastic worker for the
blind would make such statement.
the blind are doing something toward
their support, but that is quite diff
ferent matter.
Mr.. Best's authoritative book on the
blind estimates twelve percent as self
supporting. The highest percentage
estimate we have come across, made
by any responsible authority, is six
teen per cent. There are exceptional
blind persons who can make good
living, especially in music. There
are a few other occupations suitable
for the blind, such as dictaphone typ
list, masseuse, and information clerk,
but even in these occupations the
blind have a vocational handicap.
Some blind men sell insurance or mer-
chandise, but these callings should
not be recommended, as it is almost
impossible for a blind salesman not
to capitalize his handicap.
For the majority of the blind the
only vocational opening is some form
of repetitive mechanical labor. In a
machine age like ours this opportunity
is steadily contracting as machines
are invented to do such work. We
can imagine blind men Juggling at the
ropes that raised the blocks of the
pyramids, as galley slaves, etc. Even
generation ago blind man might
have made living pumping water for
cattle or saving cordwood.
Let us correct some misconceptions.
A blind man who sells a five dollar
rug he has woven, for ten dollars,
to some kind-hearted person is not
self-supporting. Nor even is he self
supporting if he sells it at the market
price, but does not meet the overhead
charges that properly belong to- his
work. The truth is that outside of
insanity there is no greater handicap
than blindness.
Mr.. Jones deplores street soliciting.
So do we-but in this connection let
us call attention to some facts.
The historic role Of the blind man
has been that of beggar. Some of
us-especially those affiliated with
the Minnesota State Organization of
the Blind-have been endeavoring to
restore self-respect to the blind man
by advocating a blind pension bill,
such as Wisconsin and other states
have enacted into law. We don't
claim such a law would solve all of
the problems of the blind, but it would
solve some of the most important. So
statements like those of Mr.. Jones
on self-support are cruelty unjust, and
misleading to the public authorities
who would otherwise be in favor of
more humane administration of re
lief for the blind. Basket weaving,
