 ACID IN THE BLOOD.

A well-known authority on Rheumatism gives the following valuable yet simple and harm less prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup < SarsapariIla, three ounces.
 Mix by shaking we'll in a bot tie. and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost.
 This mixture is said to relieve almost any case of Rheumatism, which Is nothing more or less than sour blood-too much acid in the system, which in damp, cool weather forms into minute crystals about the joints and muscles, causing the awful pain and misery of Rheumatism.
 The above mixture Is said to force the Kidneys to purify and sweeten the blood, causing the Rheumatic pain and swelling to diminish with each dose. until permanent results arc obtained. and without injuring the stom- ach.
 It is worth while giving this a trial, anyhow.

A Permanent
CAMP GROUND
DEFINITE STEPS MAY BE TAKEN
UPON RETURN OF OFFICIALS
OF STATE.

CHARLESTON, July 3.-The matter
of a permanent camp ground for the
troops Of West Virginia has been reviv
ed, and the feasibility of establishing
them will be given more than passing
attention upon the return of the Wesl
Virginia official representatives from
jamestown next week.
Charleston has shown an inclina
ton to induce the location of the
grounds near this city, and it is prob
able that a more central location will
be selected anyway, even though they
are established. An effort will be
made by a number of the officers
high in army rank to have the State
procure a site between Clarksburg
and Fairmont, on the Tnterurban line
which runs between these points. FL
k!ns will also make an effort In the
same direction.
Procuring a permanent place fol
the annual maneuvers rests with
whether or not it will be decided tc
have the State troops go with the reg
ulars each year at the places desIgnat
ed by the war department.
General Clarence L. Smith advocat
ed the establishment of a permanent
camping place during the last few
years he was comanding general oi
the West Virginia brigade, and for .
while 1t was believed that he would
be successful in his purposes. Howev
er, the passage of the Dick bill knock
ed the State military problems into q
condition of doubt, SO nothing definite
was done about the matter.
