A News reporter learning that Mrs. N. M. Peters of East. J)es Moines, who was Ion? afflicted with rheumatism had been completely cured, concluded to call on the lady anil get tha faots direct from her for tho benelit of any of our readers who may bo similarly afflicted. He found Mrs. Peters to be a very pleasant lady of middle age, in good hanlr.h and dolncr her own house work. On being questioned she said: "I had suuered with rheumatism tno greater nrt nf tho ttmn for nearlv seven vears. At times I was almost helpless. I had a a. e. 1 1 loctored a great deal ior it wiui pnysi sians and tried electric belts and almost everything that is recommended for rheumatism, as no one will suitor witn it as J did, without doing all that oan be 1 BwlinrrA i f Vinalltr a nairvKKnt UUlia ID11UTD lb, iiuoiii m muiauuvi woman advised me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm and was so sure that it would help me, that 1 procured a bottle. It did help me right from tbe start but it took rive 60 cent bottles to cure me, so you can guess how bad I was, as one or two bottles will cure any ordinary case. It is a grand good medicine and has done me a power of good, and x hnna vrvn will nuhlish the facts in Vour valuable paper, that everybody may know it." As the remedy referred to is of home manufacture we concluded to call on the proprietors, Messrs. Chamberlain & Co. We find they conduct one of tbe largest and most successful proprie- torv muilinlnll la.hnrAtr.Hf.a In tha west. and that Chamberlain's Pain Balm is fast becoming a household necessity all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to the British Possessions and from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean. They have hun dreds of testimonials from persons wbo have been cured by it, not only of rheu matism but neuralgia and other painful afflictions.

The Amerioan Publio Health Association is a voluntary organization, having for its object "the advancement of sanitary science and the promotion of measures for the practical application of publio hygiene." Its membership is very largo, and includes representatives from nearly every state in the Union, who have been "selected with special reference to their acknowledged in terest in or devotion to sanitary studies and allied sciences, and to the practical appli cation of the same." At its twelfth aunual meeting, held in St Louin, Missouri, in the autumn of 1884, a puhho-spiritecUiand phil anthropic citizen of Rochester, N. Y., Mr. Henry Loinb, deeply impressed with the practical importance of its deliberations, approached one of tbe loading members and said, "I see what yon want. You have an abundanoe of light, but your light must be hidden under a bushel because you have no means of disseminating it. I propose to assist you if it is acceptable." He made a generous offer of money, to be expended in prizes for approved papers on certain specified subjects, which should be suited, by their popular style, for the education of the general publio, nd yet contain a elear exposition of tbe most advaneed views on the subjects selected. The final outcome of this genorons offer, and of the aotion of the several committees of award appointed by the Association, was the publication of four exceedingly valuable treatises on the following subjects: No. 1. Healthy Homes and Foods for the Working Classes. By Prof. Viotor 0. Vaughan, M. D., Ann Arbor, Michigan. No, 2. The Sanitary Conditions and Necessities of School-Houses and School Life. By D. F. Lincoln, M. D., Boston, Moss. No. 3. Disinfection and Individual Pro phylaxis against Infectious Diseases. By George M. Sternberg, M. D., Major and Surgeon U. S. A. No. 4. The Preventable Causes of Disease, Injury, and Death in American Manufac tories and Workshops, and tbe Best Means and Appliances for Preventing and Avoid ing Them. By George H. Ireland, Spring field, Mass. These papers, selected by the Committees of Award as the best of a very large num ber presented in competition, are exceed ingly valuable. They have been published in one volume, and also separately in pam phlet form. The prioes of these essays are aa follows: No. 1, 10 cents; Nos. 2, S, and 4, 5 cents each.

Stands by Sonthorn California. Los Aaoeles, Cal., Feb. 20, 1888. Editor Fbek Pbess: Tour letter of long Ago was duly received and should have been answered long since, but I thought I would wait and see if th bottom teas out of Califor nia, as the papers east of the Rockies have so long insisted was the case. I am Borrv to see the malicious mis representations that are being con stantly spread before the people of the oaBt, when the faot remains that California is as always hitherto, the most perfeot plaoe for homes that can be found anywhere, and is just as prosperous and delightful as it was months ago, when all of you "press fellows'' were willing and anxious to set forth its glories. The true in wardneis of the change is not that California is a fraud any more now than at any time hitherto, but that the furore to come to the golden shore, and the immense sums of mon ey being brought here, combined to work disastrous results in depleting the frost bitten regions of much of their wealth and thousands of their best citizens, for it is a noted fact, that we have less tramps and worth' less people in Southern California thm any other portion of the country I know anything about I do not blame the good people east for desir ing to keep their people and money from coming here, for the bone and sinew, with the means they control, cannot be spared from any seotion of the oountrv- in suoh numbers and Bums as have been turned in this di rection, but at the same time the disputable means resorted to are no credit to those who seem to think they cannot accomplish their object in any other way. 1 must say thtt I have not seen in your paper such a state ment as I speak of, and they may creep into the columns of any paper sometimes, where the management is divided. But tbe course of the Nowses," and many 'other eastern papers is simply villianous.' If they would allow any corrections of their misstatements, it would seem as if they wished to be fair, but I happen to know tbe "News" at Dallas, will not publish anything now, favorable or in justification of California. Of course the people here dislike the manner in which things are mis represented, but have no fears that our country will be seriously injured by these attacks. Every man and family, who come here and stay long enough to take off their hats and take a bath, are ready to testify in our behalf; and when you remember that not a single person who has ever come to California and remained, whether rich or poor, but has bet tered his condition, and that all of these have friends and acquaintances who will, to a great extent, be gov erned by their experience, we do not apprehend that there will be any serious check in the tide of immigra tion and flow of capital to our shores. You will no doubt call to mind the fact that certain peripatetic scribblers used to skip through Texas, and while not staying long enough to have a shirt washed, and of conse quence not being in position to know of what they were writing, would write back to the old states, accounts of Texas which were totally vioious and almost devoid of truth. We Texas people denounced them as they deserved. No one can come to California, stay a few days (perhaps in some of our short, rainy periods) and be able to pass or form any matured opinion as to its merits or demerits, nor indeed of any other country. I have known persons to have interviews published in the News wbo came into and out of the state, inside of two weeks, wbo never got off the cars exoept at one or two points, and then write np (or down) the country, describe places tbey bad not seem at all, and of course tnncn oi lue aata given was nnroliI,l whila mora had no haejia , ,. , whatever.

"Anything to delay the bill," is tbe seoret motto that seems to have been adopted by the republican members of the Ways and Means committee of the Honse in their dealings with the now perfected bill to reduce the war tariff, under whioh the industries of the country are now staggering. The whole committee has held two meetings this week, at both of whioh the republipan members plainly show ed that they intended to delay the report of the bill to the House as long as possible. It is well for tbe coun try to know who is responsible for this delay. The new Chinese treaty is complete and will shortly be signed by Secre tary Bayard for the United States, and by the Chinese Minister for the Emperor of China. The treaty con tains rigid provisions against the im portation of Chinese laborers into this country. Only those Chinamen having prop erty valued at $1,000 or more, shall have the privilege of re turning to this country, should they visit China. Tbe republican members of tbe House are very much divided on the tariff question, and unless tbe repub lican minority of the Ways and Means committee shall bring forward a bill reduoing the revenue to as great an extent as the Mills bill, it is extremely likely that many of them will vote with the demoorats for that measure. Their constituents demand that they shall vote for a reduction of the revenues of the government, and they dare not refuse, even if they wanted to. Mr. Thomas, a republican repre sentative from Illinois, introduced a bill in the House to whioh all good oitizens can say amen. It providing that any person or firm who shall nse the picture of any female, living or dead, who is the wife, daughter, mother or sister of any citizen of the United States as an advertisement without tbe written consent of the person whose likeness is to be so used shall be guilty of a high inisdomean or. and liable to a fine not less than $500, nor more than $5,000, and to be imprisoned until the fiae is paid. A rumor from New York, started probably by the republicans, says there is a strong anti-Cleveland fee! ing among the democratio members of Congress. Your correspondent has diligently seached for this feeling, but failed to find it. Every democrat questioned was enthusiastic for the renomination of Cleveland, and tbey all expressed a belief that be would be nominated by acclamation and triumphantly elected.
