OPPOSE LONDON PEACE BILL IN CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 A canvass of the majority of the house foreign affairs committee today showed that the London peace resolution will never be reported. The pet measure of Representative M. liondon of New York, the only Socialist in congress, authorizes the president to convene a congress of neutral nations to offer mediation to the belligerents. Members of the committee oppose action because they thinl: it would be unwise to permit agitation of the sort the resolution might raise in congress just at the time when America's foreign relations are hanging in the balance. The department of agriculture recently announced that it had been demonstrated that fibre flax equal to tbe best European can be successfully grown in the United States. WHY CHILY WEATHER BRINGS RHEUMATISM Says Skin Pores Are Closed and Uric Acid Remains In Blood. Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one nf the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all, drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated 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 kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid whi'ch keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus lidding the blood of these Impurities. 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 pleasant effervescent lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well. Adv.

ENGINEER WAIVES

Continued From Page One man-Trot bridge in which Lon Boyd, of Cambridge City was interested. Township Trustee Wilson, of Harrison township, had made complaint to Peacock regarding bridges in that township.. Mr. Dowry, of Harrison township, had also made general complaint. Sherman Haile, of Abington, had complained to Peacock about Abington bridge where he said concrete had been deposited on top of mud during construction. Contractors make complaint that Mueller requires extra work that is not necessary No quicksand found near Burroughs bridge, on Nettle creek, although specifications provided for piling. Corrugated metal on McGrew bridge of 24 gauge instead of 16 as required by specifications, which benefits the contractor to the extent of 3 cents per square foot of metal. Repeats His Complaint. Same complaint regarding the Chamness bridge. . Plans and specifications made by Mueller makes it impossible for outside contractors to bid on account of unusual sizes of I-beams. " Contractors say that it is useless to submit alternate bids because they would not be accepted by commissioners. . Specifications for temporary britlge regarding piling made it impossible for outside contractors to bid. Peacock contended that Mueller had exaggerated his ability as bridge engineer by telling the commissioners of work he had done in Cincinnati, Hamilton and with the Miami Conservancy district, Dayton, which had never been done. W'ilfred Jessup represented Mr. Peacock and in his opening statement he insisted that Peacock's complaint is "that the present system limits competition and AVayne county is not receiving full returns for the money expended." Since the commissioners decided to make the hearing in the form of an open court where witnesses testified under oath, Mr. Mueller had a right to demand that no evidence be given except that of direct evidence, eliminating all hearsay or conversations. William Roller, representing Mr. Mueller, however, in his opening statement said that the bridge engineer had nothing to fear- and requested that the commissioners allow any testimony whatsoever to be admitted so that the commissioners would be enabled to "run down the rumors" and find out the truth or falsity of them.

Will assure your County Funds to be in safe hands, for his 37 years experience in business affairs, without complaint of Creditors or Customers will attest, through inquiry of any bank in the county, or by reference to any Commercial agency. Never, in all his long experience has he repudiated or disputed his accounts with any Firm, and never have bills been left to run overdue or drafts to be presented to be paid. It is not much of a test of a man's ability as a business man, who has always acted as a clerk or agent for another, when the head of the house has all the burdens of the business to bear, or go broke. A man's business is what he makes it and if he fails it is because of his mismanagement. Mr. Hall will conduct the County business with the same carefulness as has characterized his private affairs. He was in business for Twelve years in Lewisville as a grain and Hardware merchant, having closed out there to A. R. Mcllvaine in 1 889, when he came to Cambridge City and started the same kind of a store, selling that store there to Beard & Ohmit in 1 902. He then traded for the Ketch Hardware store over here. He then in 1907 sold this store to Seany & Brown who still retain it. Soon after he bought Sam Fred's clothing store, across the street, and successfully operated this store 9 years, closing out last year. All these merchants can testify that he did not in either case misrepresent his business and that each one has found the business prosperous and a money maker. In early life he was a school teacher and teacher of pen-

manship in and around Strawns and Lewisville. If you can see from this that he jut should be a man well enough qualified to have charge of the people's affairs, then II vote for him. " B ROBERT W. HALL, FOR COUNTY TREASURER. 1 Ballot No. 30. j iifciiiM

county to make up entire detailed plans and , specif icatlona for bridges," said Wilfred Jessup in his opening statement. , "It is this system that Peacock is objecting to and it is not a personal attack upon Mueller." Prior to the opening statement of Mr. Jessup, Mordecai Doddridge, president of the board, asked every man In the court room who had any evidence to present to stand up and be sworn. No one. stood up and Mr. Jessuj) was then requested to make a flstement for Peacock. Wants Complete Probe. Mr. Reller said that the attack that has been made by Peacock was on the Integrity and ability of Mueller and consequently Mr. Mueller was desirous of having the whole affair investigated to the bottom. vVe waive all formality of specific charges," said Mr. Reller. "We havs nothing to conceal." Mr. Jessup proceeded, to give a history of the commissioners relations with Mr. Mueller and said that Peacock was making no attack upon Mueller's present contract. He said that the statutes under which the contract with Mueller was made have not been changed. . . ' ". "Mr. Peacock gets around the county by virtue of his office and consequently his office is made the clearing house for all complaints regarding the bridge work." "The purpose of this hearing on Peacock's account," said Mr. Jessup, "is that the entire affair should' be aired because this county is on the eve of undertaking two large bridges. Competition Reduced. "The system in this county where prospective bidders are not allowed to submit plans, reduces competition," he continued. "The county commissioners in the past have left all the question of compliance with the plans and specifications with Mr. Mueller alone, which is poor policy. Specifications have been made but not followed although no record has been made with the commissioners. Mr. Reller, in his statement, said that Mr. Peacock is not considered by Mueller as a competent bridge engineer. "Mr. Peacock's attitude has been one of insinuation, creating innuendo and the like. Let him now come forward and present his facts," said Reller. "If there is anything wrong with the system, Mueller wants to get it straightened out as well as Peacock. County Demands Facts. County Attorney Hoelscher then explained that it was the purpose of the commissioners to confine the hearing to facts regarding the integrity and competency of Mueller as a bridge engineer, which had been attacked by Peacock two weeks ago. ''What companies have made complaints," asked Mr. Jessup of Peacock when he was placed on the stand. "The Indiana Bridge company has

complained to me of the size of materials asked for by Mr. Mueller in the specifications are such that the ordi nary contractor cannot bid because he does not carry them in stock," replies Peacock. "There are a number of other contractors who have complained to me but I don't care to say here who they are. Mr. Jessup and Mr. Reller then insisted that Peacock give the names of all the contractors who had mad cnmnlaints Ifo then named the firm

of D. L. Davis, Elkhart, the National Concrete company and representatives from other firms whose names, he i said, he did not know. Relates Other Complaints. Mr. Peacock then told of other complaints that had been made on bridges in Wayne county by farmers. Just before he concluded bis testimony this morning, he presented letters that had been received from sev. oral contractors and a telegram from D. t. Davis. Elkhart, which stated that Mueller was incompetent to make plans and specifications and denying that be had made plans for bridges in Butler county, Ohio, and Dayton. Commissioner's Sale of Rea?
