There is more rheumatism in the United States than any other chronic disease - with an estimated 6,500,000 sufferers. There are twice as many cases of rheumatism as heart disease, and 7 times as much rheumatism as cancer and other tumors. Rheumatism was responsible for more days lost from work — 97,200,000 - than any other chronic disability except nervous and mental disease, which yast year caused a loss of 132, 500,000 days of work. Rheumatism, in its broad definition, includes arthritis, gout, neuralgia, lig- aments and bones. In general, the layman applies the term rheumatism topainful affections of the locomotor apparatus — diseases of the joints, muscles, ligaments and bones. t The word “rheumatism” is derived from the Greek word “rheum”, or hu- mor. Early Latin and Greek writers used it to indicate the flow of a painful fluid from one affected region of the body to another. The word “rheumatism” was first used in 1643 to describe rheumatic fever, Half of the victims of ®heumatism who are permanently disabled are un- der 55 years of age. Annually about 1,500,000 persons in the United States are disabled by “ar- thritis” and at least 1,750,000 others are disabled by neuralgia, neuritis and lumbago. Cancer, tuberculosis, heart disease anc other diseases have been drama- ! teed until the nation is more or less aware of them, It is difficult to dramatize rheuma- tism. But it threatens to become definit- ely a serious physical and economic handicap to one in every twenty per- sens. An educational campaign, long c con- tinued, both among physicians and lay- men, is considered the only answer to a reduction in the countless victims and the great suffering caused by rheumatism. Down with the King of Misery — rheumatism. THE CAT IS OUT (From the U. M. W. A. Journal) Newspapers, a few days ago, pub- lished an article that ought to open the eyes of the American people to what is actually going on in this coun- try. The article said that the big fin- anciers and industrialists are not going lo do anything toward a revival of business and industry until President Roosevelt announces positively that he will not be a candidate for a third term as President. This is about as brazen a statement as has been made in these United States in a long time. It is susceptible that only one explan- ation, and that is that these big money sharks hate President Roosevelt with such a consuming fire of bitterness that they would be willing to see the nation in a state of demoralization and uiisery, if necessary, to beat Roosevelt. They don’t like Roosevelt becauese he has tried to do something for the com- mon people throughout his adminis- tration. They are willing to watch people go hungry if by that means they can destroy Roosevelt. That's how much they hate him. As far as we know, there is no one who knows whether Roosevelt intends to run for another term as President. It is doubtful if even the President himself has decided that question. No one has any right to say that he will or will not run, for no one knows. But there is one thing certain, such statements as the one published in the newspapers will never help to eli- minate him. Instead, such statements might make him decide to fight back | and run for another term. Whether Roosevelt again becomes a candidate is wholly immaterial at this time. This is 1939, and the next election will not take place until No- vember, 1940. The big bankers and owners of industries can, if they will, relieve the present deplorable econ- PRESS-COURIER, ~ OVER-BOOTED ANGLER | Cpening of the New York state trout season, April 1, didn’t catch young Albert Welch unprepared. Not to be outdone by the many men who were out for their first fish, the over- booted angler caught this prize ncar Theresa with ©» ¢'1 vgle and line. Let 1940 take care of itself. The coun- try needs relief in 1939, ‘and if the country does not get relief these big sharks must take the blame. There is no longer any doubt about the rea- son for continuation of hard times and unemployment. The article published in the newspapers let the cat out of the bag. DR. GEORGE NAMED HEAD OF CO. DIRECTORS GROUP The annual election of officers was held last Friday afternoon by the Cam- bria County School Directors Asso-) ciation it the concluding session of the annual two-day convention held in the courthouse at Ebensburg.

Dr. Lewis urged teachers to inculate into the youth of the country the teachings of democracy and all the United States stands for. A. K. (Rosey) Rowswell, Pittsburgh humorist, spoke at the dinner last Thursday at the Ebensburg Congre- gational Church and also at the at- ternoon session. DIRECT RELIEF CONTINUES TO DROP IN THE STATE Harrisburg — The downward trend of unemployment relief in Pennsylv- ania accelerated during the first week of April with increasing spring sea- sonal employment. The Department of Public Assis- tance reported that a five week de- cline had brought direct relief rolls 35,500 under the winter peak of 798,000 persons dependent on state aid in February. Secretary Howard L. Russell said the relief rolls “declined more sharply” during the last reported week “than at any time since the beginning of the currenet downward movement.” The reduction brought the total number of persons on unemployment relief to 762,201, with expenditures of $1,772,288, about $32,000 less than the previous week. “For the tenth consecutive week, the omic situation in this country, and as good citizens it is their duty to do so. There is no logic, no justice, no | patriotism in their holding back merely | because they do not like Rooseveil. Tiet effect of changes in private em- | ployment on general assistance rolls was more favorable than during the preceding week,” Russell said.
