HE HELPS Tht PLUMBER.
The House Rat Eats Quantities of Lead Pipe
 and Creates Sewer Gas.

From the Kansas City Star.
 One of the most persistent and destruc- tive assistant the plumber has is the house rat. A rat can eat out plumbing as fast as an average honest man can pay for it. To rat greasy lead pipe is toothsome morceau. When a hungry rat forsakes the barn and finds his way into the cellar of a house, and thence up through the walls to the space between the floors, the first thing he tackles is the grease on the outside of lead waste pipe. If he finds other food shortly thereafter he spares the pipe, otherwise lie eats the pipe and the water escapes through to the ceiling below and ruins the plaster. Teh plumber is sent for and repairs the leak, but he doesn't tell what caused it.
 Once upon a time rat was ''hoist by his own petard,' so to speak. He got into a house and found his way to lead pipe on which he tried his teeth. It was pleas ant chewing and put a fine edge on his teeth, so he continued. Soon he had eaten a large hole in the pipe and stream of scalding water poured forth. Before he could escape he had been scalded to death, to say nothing of being drowned. But he had the satisfaction of knowing tha he had ruined fine ceiling and that the car pet underneath it had been soaked full of lime water. There is no great loss with out some small gain.
 Just to show what they could do. some rats once ate fifty feet of lead pipe under bath room and over the kitchen of a big hotel in this city. The floor of the

More men, women and even little child ren have been suffering with rheumatism and neuralgia the present year than ever before. Statistics from all over the coun- try show this-doctors reports prove it. Possibly the unusual weather has had something to do with it, but there is one great reason back of it all. The great cause of rheumatism and neuralgia, or even muscular cold is because there is uric acid in the blood. This uric acid should be thrown out of the system, and can be if the kidneys are only in strong and healthy condition, but, being weaned, these great organs are not able to thrS-, the uric acid from the system, and so it gets into the blood, poisons the blood, settles around the joints, inflames the muscles and causes what we call rheumatism and neuralgia.
 Is this not clear? Can you not readily see that there is only one way to cure these troubles, and that is by keeping the kidneys in a strong and healthy condi- ton? If they are kept strong and well, and drive the uric acid from the blood' there will be no more rheumatism or neu- ralgia.
 In every quarter of the globe, including India, Africa and Australia, it is acknowl- edged that there is but one discovery which can or ever does fight the battle against uric acid, and drive it from the body That discovery is known universally throughout the world as Warmers Safe Cure.
 In writing upon this subject, MT William Edward Rosbon, surgeon Of the Royai Navy of England, said
 'I conscientiously and emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect moro cures by the use of War ners Safe Cure, than by all other medi- cines in the British Pharmacopoeia."
 Dr. N. Eyer, of Wurtzenburg, Germany said:
 q have prescribed Warmers Safe Cure constantly to those suffering from kidney or liver diseases, and especially rheuma- tism and neuralgia. In some instances where the case seemed hopeless, l have seen the sufferer restored to complete health greatly to my surprise and grati- fcation. and I constantly recommend it in all circles of my acquaintance"

JUST AT THIS VERY TIME
When People are Suffering From Rheun1- e7tisrr7, Neuralgia and Colds, They Need to Know Of a Discovery, The Fame of Which is "WOrId-ANide."

Court of Australia, declares:
 "I have used Warmers .afe Cure on many occasions, being subjected to com- plaints which caused depression of spirits. and the use of this wonderful discovery has been invariably attended with the most satisfactory results"
 Jai Jai Ram Missur, prominent railroad man of India, says:
 q was attacked by the fatal disease dropsy as a result of rheumatic troubles. My whole body was filled with water and my kidneys refused to work. l tried va rious remedies and skillful surgeons in vain. At last I was told to prepare for death. I began the use of Warmers Safe Cure, and it affected a complete cure for which I cannot be too grateful"
 The list of names of American men and women who have been cured by the use of this wonderful discovery extends into the hundreds of thousands. Many of them are very prominent in legislative, profess siona1 and social circles. Their names alone would more than fill this paper. Many of them have been enduring pain have had swollen joints, headaches, unaccounSable langor, dull and indefinite pains in various parts of the body; have been restless, slesp- less and depressed; have had lack of appe- tite. lack of energy and lack of all ambi- tion but they are today in the enjoyment of perfect health. few names of those who cordially recommend Safe Cure are Bishop Wilson, MT. Jesse Larrabee, Dr. Gum, Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, Dr. Woodbury, Mrs. Willard and Rev. Dr. Ram kin.
 In addition thereto, this great discovery has been scientifically analysed by Prof. s. A. Lattemore, one of the leading chemists of America, and Analyst of Food and Medi- cines for the New York State Board of Health, who has investigated the process of manufacture, and unhesitatingly says that 'it is conducted with extreme care accord- ing to the best methods, and that Safe Cure is free from all poisonous snd deleterious substances"
 The facsimile of the package is given herewith. It has become a synonym for good health the world over, and gives, what no other remedy can give-freedom from disease and the blessings of life which good health always conferE.

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 1S.-No one of the cloth mills of the city made an attempt to run this morning.

SECOND DAY IF TIE STRIKE Grim Determination on the Part
 of Both Sides. NO SIGN OF DEMONSTRATION Interest Centered Almost Entirely in New Bed ford-Question of the Fire System
 Made Definite Issue.

Boston, Jan. 1S.-Grim determination on the part of both sides, coupled with a de- fined issue between empolyer and employe as well as practically an absence of any sign of demonstration, were the features of the second day in the great strike in the cotton industry. As yesterday, inter- est centered almost entirely in the strike at New Bedford, where the disturbances of yesterday led to the belief that similar demonstrations might be attempted today. Nothing of the kind occurred, and the. strikers strengthened their cause by mak-' ing the question of fines definite issue with the mill owners.
 It is just possible that an agreement on this question may lead to some satisfac- tory ending of the whole matter in that city, although at present such an outcome seems distant The matter of financial support to the strikers was generally dis cussed not only in New Bedford, but in Biddeford, Saco and Lewiston Me, and while the Union strikers seem to have no anxiety regarding the next three months, the non-union men fear they may not re- ceive sufficient support.
 In Fall River the superintendent of the King Philip mill, where there is strike, went so far as agreeing to remedy union grievances, but other than this there ap- pears no breach in the line of the manu- lecturers during the day. The 10O,0e0 op- eratves in all six of the New England states are watching the contest in New Bedford, Saco and Biddeford very closely.
