THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, APRIL 5. Terrible Tottures and Death Result Chronic Rheumatism When Neglected in Spring. from Acute and Paine’'s Celery Compound THE GREAT VANQUISHER AL OF FORMS OF RHEUMATISM, Care of Mra. Cook of Gardner, Kansas. Rheumatism, terrible in its acute, and long enduriag in its chronic form, is one of the most baneful diseates that human belngs suffer from It is a disease that will not bear neglect, for if not treated promptly will remain till death to harass, | torture, and make life miserable i Rheumatism is also a constitutional dis- order and hereditary. Because of an in- active conditior of the kidneys and bowels the blood Is not purified, and an acrid | polson s formed and deposited in the mus- | cles and joints, and this causes the in- flammation and intense agonies that thou- ands are obliged to endure. Too often, the effects of rheumatism are fatal, espe- clally when the dread disease affects the heart; then death is sudden. Many other serious complications result from thls ter- rible disease, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, meningitis, and diaphragmitis, and these often prove rapidly fatal Racked and tortured reader, what are you doing to get rid of your danger?, Phy- siclans candidly admit thelr inabiifty to cure. The ordinary medicines of the day may glve you rellet for a few hours or | days; they cannot banish the disease from | your blood, jolnts, and muscles; they can- not take the swellings from your knees, elbows, or wrists, or make supple the stif- fened and twisted limbs. You cannot longer afford to experiment; death is the sure result of experiment and neglect. Today, your only hope lies in the im- mediate uee of Ur. Phelps' wonderful rheu- matism banishcr—Paine's Celery Com- pound. This tested and world-famed van- quisher of rheumatism, neuralgia, and other troubles that arise from impure and polsoned blood, is now fully recognized by the medical profession as a positive and unfailing cure. The following importan: letter sent by Mrs. Cook Is but one of the many thousands received from prominent and well known people in every state of the Unlon, who have been cured by Paine's Celery Compound. Mrs. Cook says “1 was sorely afficted with rheumatism some time ago, so much so that I was un- able to go about the house; I had to be carried. 1 tried all kinds of medicines and liniments to no effect. For months 1 was helpless, unable to turn myself in bed, and euffering with pain which was almost unendurable. Finally, by chance, I no- ticed an advertisement of Palne's Celery Compound and concluded to try it. After using one bottle it seemed to be helping me, and I continued to use it until I had no more rheumatic pains. Since then I have been able to do my housework, and have been free from rheumatism.” Diamond Dyesils; ‘Sahsraargiomens:, e e ety HEALTH COUNCIL UNANIMOUS Govermment Organ Repl to State- led to the United States. BERLIN, April 4—The North German Gazette, the chlef mouthplece of the gov- ernment, today replled to the statements contained in the dispatch of the Assoclated | Press rday announcing that the Soclety for the Protectiop of the Interests of the German Chemical Industry declared that the govornment did not consult the imperial beaith council before prohibiting the im- port of meats treated with boracic acid. ‘The Gazette reaseerts that the health coun- cil's committee on food products voted, October 2, 1901, for the boracic process unanimously, with the exception of one vote, adding that all the medical experts ‘who participated voted for the prohibition. Continuing its defense of the statement | that the prohibition of the use of boracic acid n preserving meats had been approved by the Imperial health council, the min- istry has published in the North German Gazette a statement in which it explains that the health councll consists of seventy members who are experts in the various branches of science. They are not all fitted to pass judvyment on food questions, it ls explained, consequently the regulations concerning the use of boracic acld were submitted to the food committee of the councll, whose judgment In the matter must be accepted as an authority equal to that of the entire council, HOWARD ELLIOTT PROMOTED Goes from Gemeral Manager Burling- ton's Missour!

W. T. Stead's Comments. W. T. Stead wrote the following for the Assoclated Press: “The will of Cecil Rhodes is in every re- spect worthy of its author. With the ex- ception of some family estates In this country, the whole of which are left to his own relattves. Mr. Rhodes h ai- reéted his wealth in dlarhond and. gold mines to public uses. Its disposition is dictated by what was ever the dominating principle of his life. “What of this will that is of exceptional interest to Americans is the fact that it reveals for the first time, under his hand and seal, that he was no mere British im- perialist, but that he was essentially ¢ citizen of the United States—of the Eng- lish-speaking world. In other words, his will proves how accurately I Interpreted on the strength of many intimate and confidential ter of conversations, that he recognized as his commori fatherland the great English- speaking community, which includes the British empire with its ample frontiers within its lines. “Mr. Rhodes' first will was made in Sep- tember, 1867, when he was a young man of 24. At that time he was only begin- ning to amass wealth, which before he died had made him a multi-millienaire, not in dollars, but in pounds sterling. His last will was dated July 1, 1898. But the two documents are essentially allke in sentiment. They both embody in express terms what was ever the master thought of his master mind—the necessity for promot- ing the reunion of the English-speaking race. Remembers Alma Mater, “Mr. Rhodes' will appoints a well known group of seven of his friends as general executors of his estate. This group is fur- ther charged to undertake the duty of act- ing as trustees for the educational endow- ment fund, which will provoke the liveliest discussion and excite the keenest interest throughout both the United States and the British empire, for both communities share in the benefit of Mr. Rhodes’ bequest. “Mr. Rhodes was & graduate of Oxford and a student at Orlel college, to which, by the way, he has left a special bequest of $500,000. He has made Oxford university, in whose glories the American descend- ants of its founders share equally with those who still inhabit the old country, the center of his educational scheme and be has left a sum, which may roughly be capltalized as representing $10,000,000, for the foundation of Anglo scholarships, ten- able at Oxford for three years. “Mr. Rhodes, it will be remembered, was s0 impressed with the value of a univer- sity education that, after he had been com- pelled to break his course at Oxford, by {ll health, which rendercd it impossible for him to winter in England, he returned cvery summer from South Africa, in order 10 complete bis unlversity career. To his thinking, the university, better than any other fnstitution, naturally affords a vivity- lug ceuter of race unity. It is free from all poiltical complications, and a residen- tial university, with the old traditions of Oxford, seemed to him the best fitted for the purpose be had in view. When | discussed with him the question of the choice of the university which should be selected as this race-center, the respective claims of Oxtord and Cambridge, ground, at the most famous of the old uni versities, “What will result In the future presence of Americans and colonials, In what has 80 long been one of the most conservative and Anglican centers of Great future must decide. The influx of so much American and colonial blood may have very important consequences, at which some of the old Oxonlans would stand aghast. “Having decided that each state or colonial unit should have one scholarship allowed to it every year, Mr. Rhodes' will proceeds to define the terms upon which the scholar- ships should be allotted. Mr. Rhodes al- ways opposed the modern idcas of awarding an educational prize eolely for literary at- tainments. The tendency to award a schol- arship solely for success in passing literary examinations seemed to him to put a pre- mium on bookworms. Hence, he has drawn up a scheme for the election of students for his scholarships, which is extremely original and very characteristic of the man. 1t is as follows Conditions of Scholarships. *‘In the election of a student to a schol- arship regard should be had to *‘First—His literary and scholastic at- talnments. ** ‘Second—Hls fondness for or success in manly, outdoor sports, such as cricket, foot ball and the like. “ “Third—His qualities of manhood, such as truth, courage, devotion to duty, sym- pathy for and protection of the weak, kind- liness, unselfishness and fellowship. “ 'Fourth—His exhibition during school days of moral force of character and in- stincts to lead and take interest in his schoolmates, for these latter attributes will likely in after life gulde him to esteem the perfotinance of public duties as his highest aim. * ‘Marks for these qualifications should be awarded somewhat In the following pro- portions: Four-tenths for the first, one- tenth for the second, three-tenths for the third, and two-tenths for the fourth. Marks for Qualifications. “‘Marks for the several qualifications shall be awarded independently as follows, that fs to say, marks for the first qualifica- tion of examination, for the second and third qualifications, respectively, by the ballot of fellow students of the candidates, and for the fourth qualification by the head masters of the schools, and the re sult of the awards, that is to say, the marks obtained by each candidate for each qualification, should be added together and the successful student be the one who re- celved the greatest number of marks, gl ing bim the highest all-round qualific tion.’ “His object In laying down these con- Qitlons was to secure the best men for the world’s fight, to bring them together in one center, and to eecure for them the best education obtainable. He has undoubtedly succeeded in changing what he calls the Qull monotony of modern competition. Unity of Anglo Races. “Ot Mr. Rhodes’ political will and testa- ment it suffices to say that there stands in its forefront the promotion of the unity of English-speaking races, and, although it 1s not laid down specifically in his will in written statements in which he has ex- pressed his political ideas, he has specific- ally set forth that the political question 18 to be found In & copy of the constitution of the United States. * ‘What an awful thought it is,’ he writes, ‘that it even mow we could arrange with the political members of the United States embly and our House of Commons the peace of the world would be secured for all eternity. We could hold a federal parlia- ment five years in Washington and five in London. The American has been taught the lesson of home rule and of the suc- cess of leaving the management of the local pump to the parish beadle. He does not burden his house of commons with the re- sponsibility of cleaning the parish draine. The present position of the English house 1s ridiculous. You might as well have ex- pected Napoleon to bave found time to have counted his dirty linen before he sent it to the wash, and to have recounted It on its return.’ “I have said enough, however, to show Mr. Rhodes' last political will and testa- ment ls as remarkable as the career of which it remains a worthy monument. At least I hope the world will begin to ap- preciate the essential greatness of the great man whom it has just lost TEAD.” PLAN TO DODGE DUTY FEE Stories of Goods Being Shipped to West Indies Awaiting Final Treaty Act. WASHINGTON, April 4.—Complaints are coming in to the Treasury department that large quantities of merchandise, particu- larly rice, are being brought into the Dan- jsh West Indlan ports in the expectation of being able to ship it into the United States after the ratification of the treaty of cession free of duty. The ports of the islands are free ports and hence goods landed there are not sub- ject to customs dyties. It is pointed out that after the ratification of the treaty and before congress takes action to prevent jt all goods shipped from the islands to this country or to Porto Rico must be admitted duty free. Therefore a shipload of valuable Havana tobacco might now be sent to St. Croix and if reshipped to Tampa or an- other nearby United States port after the ratification and before congressional action it must be admitted free of duty.
