Rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the, system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condit on will
the aches and pains cease.

husbands Answer to Wife's
Plea For Separate Maintenance.
BISHOP HOLMAN'S SUIT
NEW ACTIONS FOR RECOVERY
OF MONEY AND FOR DIVORCE.

An answer was filed yesterday in the
district court by Mathenihah Thomas.
attorney for defendant in the separate
maintenance suit, of Clarinda B. Slower
VS.. James A. Slower. The defendant adj
mits only the marriage and names of
the children, but denies all the other
allegations of desertion and non-sup-
port of plaintiff
/ By way of praying for affirmative re-
lief and demanding the custody of all
the four children, which, except the
youngest, was awarded to defendant by
the Fourth district court of Idaho on
December IA, 1897. defendant sets UP
that his wife treated him cruelty on
July 8. 1887, without cause on his part,
by driving him from the house at the
point Of gun, applying vile epithets
to him. She also, it is charged, i'm
mediately thereafter commenced to as
sociate with lewd and dissolute men.
II is further alleged that in April, 1898
the wife moved to Salt Lake City from
Ketchum. Ida, and took up her resi-
dence in a house of prostitution at A
Franklin avenue, and that she refuses
to reform her mode of living.
For a further cause of relief, the de-
j'fendant charges that his wife deserted
the youngest child at st. AIMS orphan
age while defendant provided for the
care and support of the other children
at the orphanage. The defendant also
alleges that he has always been a mod

PEBBLE IN THE CIGARETTE
1t Means That Some Convict is Cheat
ing the Contractor.

A New Orleans business man who ac-
quired a fendness for Vera Cruz tobae-
co during a visit to the sister repub-
lie last winter was smoking a. Mexican
cigarette the other day when he stop
ped and Knocked a tiny pebble out OF.
the ash.
DO you know what this means?''
he said, picking up the fragment on the
point Of his penknife. You would say
at first blush, 1 suppose, that it was q
bit of grit that had found its way
into the filler with some imperfectIv
cleaned tobacco. But the truth is it was
put there Intentionally and indicates
two things-first, the cigarette is prison
made, and, second. the fellow who roll
ed it was swindlfng the contractor.
When l was in Mexico recently [
paid visit to the great military pris-
ons at Chihauhau and the city and at
both l found hundreds Of men making
cigarettes. Every morning each pris-
oner is given a certain quantity Of to-
bacco and paper, which are scrupu-
lousy weighed, and he is required to
turn IN their equivalent in made up CT
garettes. which are also put on the
scales at the close of the day. TIE two
weighings must tally to a grain or he
is punished.
VI course, all the native prisoners
are inveterate smokers and they are
each allowed twelve cigarettes a day
for their personal use. Twelve cigar
cites is a pretty small allowance for a.
Mexican, so they hold out tobacco and
make up the weight by occasionally in
sorting pebble in one of the little
cylinders.
Before they begin work they take
as much tobacco as they think safe and
balance it against the pebbles, so there
viii be no error at the scales. In nine
cases out of ten the atom of stone
drops off in the ash and is never no
ticed by the smoker.
Another scheme of stealing is to add
water TO the tobacco, but it is liable
TO evaporate in part before the cigar
cites are weighed, and if so will give
the trick away."-New Orleans Times
Democrat.
