RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO & SCIATICA.

Rheumatism. Lumbago and Sciatica are three of the most common and most painful complaints and practically arise from the same cause and the names only distinguish the location of the disease. If the arius and legs are affected it is called Rheumatism: it in the Loins, Lumbago: and in the hip. Sciatica. The attacks are generally brought on by chills when the body is overheated, or by exposure to damp or cold draughts, which act, not upon the bones or muscles but upon the Uric Acid in the Blood, which is the cause of the disease. The failure of the Liver and Kidneys to filter and, absorb this Acid leads to an accumulation in the system, tends to clog. the circulation and harden the tissues forming the blood vessels. Thus every movement of the affected parts causes you intense agony. The pains ore affected more or less by cold or heat. A dump day will double you up, or the warmth of the bed will intensify the pain. Rheumatism is generally regarded as one of the most difficult ailments to care, and invariably medicines are tried simply with the hope of temporary relief. Dr. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS have been wonderfully successful A bulten twinge of pay.

not merely affording a cessation of the pain, but by driving the poison out of the blood and restoring the joints to their original, suppleness. They get at the cause as no other remedy does They get at the foundation of the complaint which is the blood and a trial will abundantly prove the wonderful efficacy of this remedy,

NEW LABOUR PARTY. ADOPTION WIDER

CONSTITUTION:

The new constitution of the Labour Party, under which it is transformed from: a federation of societies into a national democratic political organiza tun, open to every worker who labours “by hand or by brain," was 'adopted by: this resumed Annual Conference of the party at the Central Hall, Westminster, says the Labour Correspondent of the

The event has a far-reaching import- ance, for it marks the determination of the party leaders to seize the opportuni ty given by the widening of the elector ate and the enfranchisement of women under the Representation of the People Act, and to make the Labour, movement the most powerful political force in the country The aim is to be achieved in three ways

HOW NOVICES ARE TAUGHT

TO FLY

A more than ordinarily interesting story of the life of flying cadet during his period of training is given by Flight. Lieut. R. L Rideout, who has been serving as instructor in the Canadian camp in Texas,

Very concisely Lieut. Rideout outlined the life of a flying endet from the time he entered the training course at Toronto until he was turned out a finished article at Texas.

The first test, guaranteed to eliminate right at the outset the man whose bump. of location is not up to standard, takes place the minute the cadet reaches Toronto. Here he is put into a chair, his eyes directed to a fixed spot on the wall. Then, blindfolded, he is spun giddily around for a short space. When the gyrations are at an end he is com manded to point to the position of the spot on the wall shown him at the outset. On the correctness of his answer depends his fate for acceptance or rejec tion.

GERMAN U-BOAT'S END.

The Navy Department of the United Stales has issued a full report of an encounter between" Amorican destroyers and a German submarine. It is stated,

that

At about 4.10 p.m., while escorting a convoy, Coxswain David D. Loomis, look-out of the fanning, sighted a small periscope some distance off the port bow, extending about a foot out of water, and visible for only a few seconds. The Fanning inmediately headed for the spot, and about three minutes after the periscope had been sighted dropped a depth charge. The Sichotsp
