self from Serious Accident.

Otto Hendricks, a teamster engaged
on the excavation being made for the
new building of the United Breweries
company on First avenue near Nine
teenth street narrowly escaped serious
injury this morning about o'clock
while driving across the Burlington
tracks, at the rear of the building. He
drove directly in front of a west bound
switch engine, but was warned by the
ringing of the bell and the shouts OF
his fellow workmen in time to get
away from the wagon. The wagon
was struck and completely wrecked,
and had the driver remained on the
track he could not have escaped seri-
Gus and perhaps fatal injuries. The
horses were clear of the track, and
were not injured

DRINK MORE, EAT LESS.
Advice For Those With Rheumatism,
Cont. Eczema and NeurnIgia.

Advice For Those With Rheumatism.
GOut, Eczema and Neuralgia.
If people would take less nutrition
and drink more water, there would be
less rheumatism, govt eczema and
neuralgia in the world. The most fire.
quent cause of these arrangements Is
an excess of nutritive materials. The
blood Is surcharged with salts that
are not needed in the system.
The doctors are trying to remedy
these diseases by giving something to
eliminate the salts, such as purgatives.
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 concentrated foods. This
shuts off the supply of urates in the
blood.
Those who take active exercise in
the open air every day require a great
er amount of nutrition. Not only do
they use up the nutritive materials in
muscular exercise. but the amount of
oxygen inhaled because of their activ-
tiles thoroughly oXidizes the urates and
changes them in urea. If the blood is
loaded with urates they are very like
ly to crystalline. especially in those
portions of the body where the clrcuia-
ton is the least and the temperature
is the lowest, such as the elbows, an
kles. the toes and fingers.
Drink more water; eat less food.
This is 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 disappear.-Ex-
change.
