If people would take less nutri-
ton and drink more water, there
would be less rheumatism. gout,
eczema and neuralgia iii the world
The most frequent cause of these
arrangements is an excess of nutri-
tive materials. The blood is sur
charged with salts that are not
needed in the system. The doc
tors are trying TO remedy these
diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purga-
tives, diuretics and solvents Of
various kinds. The rational way,
however, to cure such affections is
to stop the cause. Drink more
water, eat less meat and concen-
trated foods. This shuts off the
supply of urates in the blood
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require a
greater amount Of nutrition. Not
only do they use up the nutritive
materials in muscular exercise, but
the amount of oxygen inhaled be-
caused of their activities thoroughly
oxidi2es the urates and changes
them into urea. Ii the blood is
loaded with urates they are very
likely t. crystalize, especially in
those portions of the body where
the circulation is the least and the
temperature the lowest, such as the
elbows, ankles, the toes and fingers.
Drink more water, eat lcsss food.
This is a prescription that is worth
more to such people than all the
drugs in the world. Shut off the
source of urate poisoning and the
effects OF urate poisoning will disap-
pear. Medical Talk.

ATARIFF LESSON

Democrats declare that the effect
Of the present Protective Tariff sys.
tenn is to minimize exports and close
the markets of the world to the
United States. Our exports last
year totaled the enormous sum OF
$r,743,763, ora, which is almos,
double what they were ia 1896, 10
years ago, when the Wilson bill was
in operation and they amounted to
$685. .6o6, o3S.
Democrats also claim that the eff
feet of the Dingley bill is to build a
Chinese wall around the United
States and shut out foreign goods,
which in the absence of Protective
rates would find their way here un-
hampered. They appear to be
coming, anyway. Our imports last
year were 81, 2a6,6fs,369, as against
s77e,7ab674 in 1896.
Democrats are wrong in both
contentious. Meanwhile, the bal
ance of trade last year in our favor
was over $4,000, 900 or more
than FIVE times as great as the bal
ance in 1896. In exports last year
we beat all records by Saa5, 600, 900.
That's a Tariff lesson you should
paste in your hat.-Pittsbugh ssGaz

THE RAWLINGS ROAD

Mr.. Rawlings has returned from
the east, after a months stay there,
digging and delving, trying to inter-
est the proper parties in the electric
lines to sufficient degaee to make
them come to the front at once with
the necessary cash.
He was accompanied to New
York by other interested parties,
but they got discouraged some time
back and came home. Not so with
Rawlings. Though turned down by
parties they had relied on, Rawlings
neyergave up but kept roofing and
talking of the glories and resources
of Kansas.
The results were he got very
strong and reliable firm interested
and has proposition from them o
finance and build the road just as
soon as the material can be got on
the ground after their expert en-
gineer has been over the ground and
made favorable report on the
proposition. This engineer will be
here in few days to begin his in
spection.
There can be but little or no doubt
about his making report, that will
be sufficiently favorable to induce
the company to act as they have
carefully examined the reports of
the engineers that have been over
the proposed lines and they only
want to confirm their correctness.
Mr.. Rawlings says these reports
are not over drawn. 1t now looks
very favorable for the construction
of these roads. But the work can
not be begun as soon as called for
by the franchises IN the various
cities, and additional time will be
asked for. No town in the belt can
afford to turn this proposition down
as it is the biggest thing that has
ever been offered. 1t will be a
great and lasting benefit to this
whole quarter of the state. All
Mr.. Rawlings want is the extra
time made necessary by this change
from one company to another.
Now let US all quit saying that the
thing can't be done and just give
Rawlings reasonable time and
these roads will be built. Did you
ever start out to raise a consider
able sum of money for any public
enterprise Say thousand or Ten
thousand dollars. Took some work
and talk, chr Then think of
western man without money or fin
ancial standing going down east and
enllsting the millionaires in a FIVE
and half million proposition away
out here in wild and woolly Kansas.
Yet, Rawlings will succeed and
the county will reap untold benefits
while he may get a modest little
sum for his two or three years hard
work and may get nothing.
