Discouraged sufferers will find a toiessage of good cheer in a letter written by Mrs. Eva Reynolds, 149 So. West Ave., Kankakee, 111. She says: “I was in pain and misery for years with stomach and kidney* troubles, bach-ache and rheumatism. After every meal, gas would torture me for hours, and food felt like a rock in my stomach. I had back-aches all the time, pains around my heart, and the sharp rheumatic pains shot all through my body. I was so sick and in such agony that I was almost In despair when I finally consented to try Viuna. That was the turning point. The first week I felt decidedly better, and today every sign of pain has left me. My appetite and digestion are fine, no gas, no distress of any kind. It seems wonderful to be entirely free from rheumatism and back-ache. I am no longer constipated, my complexion has cleared up, and I am full of energy where I used to be so weak and draggy. Viuna brought back my health, after I had given up hope of ever being well again.” Viuna acts promptly bn sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then It you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will ba refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by .Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

CHICAGO GANGS CARRY RACKET TO LOUIS 43 Industrial Bombings Follow Invasion; Start in Cleaning Industry. This Is the sixth of a series of artcles on racketeering by James P. Kirby, staff writer for The Times and NEA Service and tells the stofy of St. Louis. BY JAMES P. KIRBY NEA Service Writer ST. LOUS, Sept. 17.—Racketeers from Chicago have invaded this city and established affiliations with local gangsters and gunmen. This is evidenced by the fortythree bombings in St. Louis city and county within the last sixteen months, involving dry cleaning and other industries. It is further evidenced by the declaration recently at a meeting called to “organize” that industry, i at which it was pointed out by a speaker that Chicago metnods were eminently successful. It is further evidenced by the fact that the confession made recently by a prominent St. Louis gangster flatly stated that Chicago talent had been at work In the city, and had been affiliated with one of the more notorious gangs. Laxity by Officials If evidence were needed of the extent of the operations of the racketeer, it is forthcoming in the declaration of Judge Jerry Mulloy of the Circuit Court, whose home has been under guard for months because of the virulence of his denunciations of the racketeer. “At least 75 per cent of the men carrying badges are gansters robbing our people under the guise of law,” the judge declared. Laxity in the law enforcement machinery has been a commonplace here, according to native St. Louisans. Stories of the conditions In St. Louis have occupied the front pages of the newspapers for weeks. They Include the declaration by a member of the board of police commissioners that he was offered SIOO,000 by a notorious character to act as counsel and procure bond for certain members of the gang; the statement by the same gangster that he paid $15,700 “to get a square deal in th prosecuting attorney’s office.” No action followed the charges, however, except a grand Jury investigation, initiated by the prosecuting attorney and directed by his

An “initiation fee” of $2,000 and 10 per cent of the annual gross receipts was the demand made by the racket upon one wholesaler. He refused and has since suffered bombings, mysterious fires, burned trucks and o‘her outrages. Although St. Louis business men

It is significant that the principal person involved in the “organizing” activities in the dry cleaning line has been previously arrested 109 times, although never convicted of crime. The Central Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis, through its official publication, St. Louis Labor, has carried numerous declarations denouncing racketeering methods.
