The House of Commons was interest- ! ■ed recently to hear that Army waste ' was being turned into glycerine at £50 a. ton, as against the American price of £240 for glycerine sent to England. I ; Captain Weigall explained how this had been accomplished only by the intervention of the Ministry of Munitions. All! • appeals to the War Office for money to ; set up the necessary apparatus were in rain. The highest authorities took up ' the matter, but it was decided that1 -there was no source from which the money could be obtained. Then the ■appeal was made to the Ministry of Munitions. They (took a reasonable line. Satisfy our advisers that you can ' produce glycerine," said and the money will he found." He blamed no j -one at the War Office, h e explained.

The Paris newspaper Temps stated recently that the little Belgian newspaper called La Libre Belgiaue is still alive, and has celebrated the "second anniversary of its existence. Its first number appeared in January, 1915. According to Le Temps, the offices of La Libre Belgique are in an automobile —to-day in one place and to-morrow in another, or at one particular hour in one place, and at another hour in another—so that the Germans may not ! discover where the editors work." For two years the Germans have searched Jugh and low to ascertain where the paper is printed, and have offered a reward of £200 for information which would disclose the names of the editors and publishers, as well as the place of publication, but their search has been in vain. RHEUMATISM IN THE JOINTS. Rheumatism in the joints is due to excess uric acid. This forms into crystals and naturally these cause unspeakable torture at every move—just as if you jput ground glass under the eyelids. To cure rheumatism, you must eliminate and remove these uric acid crystals— and RHEUMO does it. RHEUMO enters the blood and works from within, by purifying the blood and driving the uric acid from the system. Embrocations or lotions cannot do this. Try RHEUMO—the proven cure. 2s 6d and 4s 6d at chemists and stores. —Advt.
