In upholding the validity of a trans- fer of land, although the deed was not | recorded until within four months of bankruptey, while the law designates as invalid certain deeds if not record- cd within that time, the court held that the law meant to invalidate only deeds required by local law to be re- corded to make them valid as to cred- itors. In holding, the court reversed the in- terpretation given the bankruptcy law in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennes- see, Indiana, Illinois, Jowa, Missourt, Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Okla- homa, Wyoming and New Mexico and sustained the interpretations in New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi- ana, Texas, California, Oregon, Neva- da, 'Montana, Washington, Idaho and Arizona. In another case the court affirmed the decision of the Massachusetts courts which held beyond the reach of the trustee in bankruptcy the property of Fannie Leighton Luke, the annual income from $75,000 left in trust for her by John W. Leighton, on condi- tion that it should be free from inter- ference by creditors. C. E.

Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gene- rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kid- neys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fall to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulat- ing and circulating through the sys- tem, eventually settling in the joints and’ muscles causing _stiffness, “sore- ness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a table- spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to_eliminate uric acld by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these mpurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas- ant, effervescent lithia-water drink Which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well., Millinery.

Thirty Thousand Want to Learn Some Useful Pursuit. New York, March 13. — 30,000 maimed French soldiers are pleading for work, for the opportunity to be ed- ucated to make themselves useful in the labor world of their country, it is announced by Mrs. Edmund Lincoln Baylies, chalrman for the United States of a movement which has just been inaugurated for the organization of the American committee for train- ing in suitable trades the maimed sol- diers of France. For these 30,000 crip- pled men, according to Mrs. Baylies, an equal number of positions are he- ing held open by the employes of France, who need these workers. On- iy the training for these soldiers is lacking' to enable them to learn some useful pursuit so that they can serve in shop and factory. “Build a bridge that will lead him from the hospital over into a normal life,” Mrs. Baylies urges, in discussing the maimed soidier of the French Re- public. “We have been owing France through a hundred years for that lit- tle matter of first aid in our American revolution.” The American committee, which has established headquarters at the Plaza hotel in this city, regards its task in the light of “charity to do away with the need of charity.” It requires from three to six months for one of these war dependents to pass through this period of instruction—the length of time necessary for his tuition depends on the man\ and his trade—and the cost of his education is only four to five francs a\day. One hundred dol- lars would meet the average of all classes, the committee estimates. Americans jn France contributed $20,000 immedfately upon learning of the organization there of a similar committee. Such trades are taught as basket making, carpentry, glass work, photography, shoemaking, tailoring instrument making. watchmaking. tin- ware work, bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting. Unless the mutitude of employable men who are being turned loose from!the hospitals were taken in charge their normal life artificially reconstrfcted, the commit- tee in France foresaw a new and ever- increasing dead weight of misery for the_republic. The committee in \France knew of one soldier who, having lost an arm while fighting on the ' Marne, _drifted from shop to shop fn search of a chance to support himself, and, turned away because he knew \no trade which he could follow with one arm, shot himself.

FAMILY OF AUGUST BEBEL DOOMED TO EXTINCTION. Through Death of the Grandeon ef Famous German Socialiet. Berlin, March 13.—The family of August Bebel, the famous soclalist leader who died in 1913, is doomed to extinction through the death of his only grandson, which occurred at Jena. This young man, who was the som of Bebel's daughter, an only child, was born at Zurich and was greatly be- loved by Bebel. Soon after the out- break of the war he had ta go into the army through moblilization of the Swiss troops. He was not able to stan: the hardships of the service, however, and soon developed symptoms of sumption; but instead of going to health resort, as advised by his physi- cians, he went last October to Jena. begin his studies at the university.
