HOW TO GET RID OF t
RHEUMATISM
New' Medicine Drives Rheumatic
Poisons from Joints Muscles.
EASES PAIN FIRST DAY
Poisons settling In the Joints and
muscles cause rheumatism. You can
not get rid of rheumatic agony till
these dangerous poisons are driven
out of your system. External reme
dies and pain deadening drugs only
give temporary relief.
What you need Is KU-MA, the new
medicine now sold by druggists
everywhere, that acts directly on the
liver, kidneys and blood, and helps
expal through the natural channels
of elimination the dangerous poisons
that cause rheumatism. i
No long waiting for your suffering
to stop. RU-MA eases pain the first
day and Is the one rheumatic rem
edy guaranteed by Red Cross Drug
Store to free muscles and joints from
all painful stiffness and swelling and
stop your rheumatic suffering .or
your money back. Adv.

WASHINGTON tfP If Muscle
Shoals, that 13-year-old firebrand of
national legislation, ultimately Is to'
be devoted to the interests of agri
culture the stage would seem to be
about as well set for that purpose
as it has been at any time in the last
decade.
Representative Qulnn of Missis
sippi, new chalrmnn of the Demo
cratic - controlled house military
committee, , has made .disposition of
the . goxlsmmenlt's wartime power

nessee river In Alabama the first

With' a similar show of speed
President Hoover has transmitted to
congress tho recommendation of the
Joint : federal-stato Muscle Shoals
commission iio;t the; property be
operated, vpreferably by a farmer
owned, farmer-controlled corporation,
for tho ,low cost commercial produc
tion Qf fertilizer.
Inferentlally, the administration
is behind the plan. The commission ;
which was to whip federal and stato t
views into accord while congress was
in recess was organized at the insti
gation of the White House.
;,.It stands four square for private
operation under - lease as against
the - consistently vetoed federal op-;
eratlon schemes of the past. '
Administration forces in the house
of the .last congress fought stubborn-;
ly for private operation of the nitrate
plants . for capacity production of
fertilizer, fertilizer ingredients and

manufacture of fertilizer with the
provision that if the president Is un
