Mr. Daniels for some time is known to have favored some adjustment of salaries for naval personnel to meet higher living costs and it is understood his visit to the Pacific fleet emphasized that conviction. The secretary recently pointed out that naval officers have received no increases in

pay since 1908 although the cost of living ha3 greatly increased.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29. Bringing a re-rt of "outrageous cruelties perpetrated on American soldiers" In prisons of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, the congressional committee sent overseas to investigate tales of army prison horrors, arrived here Saturday night on the transport Agamemnon from Brest. The party was composed of Repre

sentatives Royal Johnson, North Dakota, chairman; Oscar E. Bland of Indiana and Henry D. Flood, of Virgiula. Conditions in army prison camps were found "very bad," with special emphasis laid on Prison Camp 2, near Paris, the committee stated. "Conditions were appalling," Representative Bland said. "Nothing like this treatment of our men had ever been known in the history of the American army. We have copies of records, reports and testimony of Inspectors, courts-martial officers, so as to be enabled to definitely fix responsibility." Conditions Shocking. Representative Bland held that Col Grinstead and Gen. Strong were directly responsible for the "unprecedented cruelties" at Prison Farm 2, and that If Gen. Strong, who was over Col. Grinstead did not know of conditions he should have.

He said that Gen. Harts for months was in the same building at 10 Rue St. Anne where thousands of outrage were committed. Lack of food, heat and air, and nauseating sanitary conditions were before his eyes, and the reports showing their conditions were on file in his office, Mr. Bland saM. The representative added that Gen. Harts was the military guardian of the president and "no man in the Judge advocate general's or provost marshal's departments had the boldness to recommend his trial before a court-martial or efficiency board." "Three facts stand out," said Mr. Bland, "first, that the most horrible and revolting cruelties existed; second, that the higher officers responsible have not been made to atone for these wrongs; third, that no reasonable excuse for the same has been offered by the war department. It Is clearly up to them."

What is Rheumatism?

r

' Sufferers Should Realize That It is a

Blood Infection and Can Be Permanently Relieved.

Why Suffer from It?

Rheumatism means that the blood has become saturated with uric acid poison. It does not require medical advice to know that good health is absolutely dependent upon pure blood. When the muscles and joints become sore and drawn with rheumatism, it is not a wise thing to lake a little salve and by rubbing it on the sore 6pot, expect to get rid of your rheumatism. You must go deeper that that, down deep into the blood where the poison lurks

and which is not effected by salves and ointments. It is important that you rid yourself of this terrible disease before it goes too far. S. S. S. is the blood cleanser that has stood the test of time, having been in constant use for more than fifty years. It will do for you what It has done for thousands of others. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, it will do th work and not harm the most delicate stomach. Write the physician of this Company and let him advise with you. Advice is furnished without charge.
