It's true - today you can get fast
relief from pains of rheumatism,
neuritis, neuralgia in the very way
advised by thousands of doctors -
at the cost of only a few cents.
Let only your doctor treat your
rheumatism. But to ease the pair,
quickly, do this: Take 2 Bayer
Aspirin tablets with a full glass of
water Immediately. You should feel
relief very quickly. If pain is un-
usually severe, repeat according
to directions.
People everywhere say results
are remarkable. Yet genuine
Bayer Aspirin costs only about
onecent . tablet, which makes the
use Of expensive pain remedies"
and aostEums unnecessary.

World War Lost
At Munich.
DR.. Pergler said that Munich gave
Hitler the green light" for much
more than domination of Czecho-
'slovakia and was proof enough to
Hitler that Great Britain and
France will not insist upon observ-
ance of civilized practices. Great
Britain and France lost the World
War at Munich" he declared, and
questioned the sincerity of their
democratic protestations. Govern
ing British elements have come to
look upon the Nazis as a bulWark
against Bolshevism, he said, and
added: THE Cliveden set may not
exist as an organization, zut the
term does represent powerful ten
dency."
He denied, however, that there
. was ever any evidence of Commun-
ism in Czechoslovakia.
Discussing the Runciman mission,
DR.. Pergler called it an act in vio-
lation of Czechoslovakia's sovereign
ty and, on the part of the British,
an act of supreme arrogance Mr..
Chamberlain will never be classed as
, the brightest of statesmen. but lack
ing in statesmanlike qualities as he
is, even he must have realized the
legal and moral implications of the
Runciman mission" he asserted.
American public opinion is of
vital Importance to Great Britain
and London governmental circles
are perturbed by American reac-
tions to policies of the Chamberlain
cabinet"
One of the undoubted results of
the pact of Munich is limitation
. of the area in which something Of
liberty and freedom has prevailed,
he said.
Evidence is accumulating that the
German Chancellor was fully con-
fident he would gain his objective
without war. Nazi demands will
continue, however. Retreat will no
more be possible. England and
France will find themselves only the
weaker as the result of their be-
trayal of Czechoslovakia"

Ask your doctor what he thinks
about taking Bayer Aspirin to
relieve rheumatic, neuritic or
neuralgia pains. We believe he will
tell you there is no more effective,
more dependable way normal per.

When you buy, ask for genuine

Certain scientists say that it is - that pos

And you can blame it all, they say, on the

believe that weather tends to repeat itself in

back up their beliefs.

coolest weather it had experienced in this
century. Eleven years prior to it - in
December 1916 - the mean temperature for
that area was nearly eight degrees below nor
NAL Iowa had bitter weather in these periods.
December. 1927. was abnormally cold in
California: and the same month in 1916 set

1905 was colder than any of the preceding
