Mr. James H. Alien suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac cumulated impurities, commonly call ed uric ucld deposits, were dissolved in the Joints and. muscles and ex pelled from the body.

MONTREAL TORN BY RIOTING AS WORKERS STRIKE Policemen and Firemen of Canadian City Demand Higher Wages By Associated Press Montreal, Dec. 13.—With every policeman and virtually every fire man in the on strike for- high er wages, Montrcnl was helpless last night in the hands of rioters. Fire stations have been wrecked, citi zens robbed and stores looted. Sa loons and disorderly resorts are wide open. Daw-abiding citizens nre helpless to prevent the depredations of gangs of hoodlums. Mayor Martin was in conference all night with representatives of the policemen and firemen in an ef fort to reach a settlement. The men are said to have agreed to accept a yearly wage of $1,200, $1,300 and $1,400, according to length of serv ice. They also want the double shift system. In St. Henri, a fire captain was badly beaten. A gang of youngsters wrecked the lire station at Chaboil lez Square, near the Grand Trunk station, broke up salvage trucks and apparatus with axes, dnd threw out of windows bedding and furniture which were taken home by members of the crowd. Damage *here is esti mated at close to $20,000. Another gang raided Are head quarters, fought the private detec tives on duty and cleaned out the volunteer firemen. Pickpockets were active on street cars. A Chinese laundryman was held up and robbed in his shop in the far north end of the city. Meanwhile nttempts were made by citizens' bodies to safeguard the city as far as possible.

Vail Describes New Triumph of Tele graph and Phone ' Wnahlngton, Dec. 13.—Postmaster General Burleson yesterday made public a letter from Theodore N. Vail, president of the American Tele phone and Telegraph Company, an hounclng the invention and develop ment by the technical staff of the Bell system of "a practical system of multiplex telephony and telegraphy, fey the use of which it Is now possible to increase many fold the message carrying capacity of long telephone and telegraph wires." "With this new. system," Baid Mr Vail's letter, "four telephone con versations over one pair of wires aro simultaneously carried on, In addition to the telephone conversation pro vided by the ordinary methods. Thus, over a single pair of wires a total of five telephone conversations are sim ultaneously operated, each giving service as good as that provided by the circuit working in the ordinary way. "A number of years ago, we devel oped the 'phantom circuit' arrange ment, by whlMi three telephone cir cuits are obtained from two pairs ot wires. Now, by our multiplex inched, we are enabled to obtain live tele phone circuits over one pair of wires, that is, ten simultaneous telephone conversations from the two pairs of wires which formerly could be uocd for only three simultaneous telephone conversations. "In telegraphy, well as in tele phony, sensational results have been attained by the new system. By com bining two telegraph wires into a metallic circuit of the type used for telephone working- and by applying our new apparatus and methods to this metallic circuit, we have enor mously increased the capacity of the wires for telegraph messages with out in any way impairing the quality of telegraph working. "The nature of these developments is such that If desired wires may be used partly for telephone and partly for telegraph. A pair of wires is available for Ave simultaneous tele phone conversations or for forty sim ultaneous telegraphic messages, or partly for one and partly for the other. "From the nature of the apparatus and the methods employed the sys tem is not practically advantageous on short lines, either telephone or telegraph. On long lines its appllca tlon will be extended immediately, but!' Its Introduction must necessarily be I gradual on account of the nature of j tfee apparatus' required and tho re- i arrangement and adaption of the ' lines themselves and their associated ' apparatus to the new methods of working. It Is not too much to char acterise the new system as marking an epoch in the development of long distance telephony "ITnd telegraphy." Mr. Vail said that an installation of the multiplex telephone system between Baltimore and Pittsburgh had been in service for more than a month. j "On Monday of this week," he said, "accompanied by a party of distin guished government and telephone and telegraph officials, I made an in spection of the system at Baltimore nnd a test of the service provided be tween Baltimore and Pittsburgh. All of the party were delighted with the successful \yorklng of the new sys tem and the evident skill which had been shown In developing it." 1 WEST SHORE Personal and Social Items of Towns on West Shore Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Fisher, of Bal- I timore, Md„ are spending some time with Mr. and Mrs. C.
