IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Conspiracy Against British Govern.
ment Becomes Serious.

Cape Town, Oct, 15-The govern
ment is receiving numerous pledges
of support from Boer leaders IN the
crisis caused by the rebellion Of the
troops commanded by Colonel Maritz
but it is learned that many Beers
whose loyalty to England has been
suspected in the past have disappear
ed from their usual haunts both here
and in other towns Of the Union.
1t is believed that these men have
gone to join the forces Of Colonel
Maritz. While the number of troops
led by that officer are not definitely
known, it is understood that he had
at least 5000 men fully equipped.
He has thrown into prison all the
officers who refused to join in the
revolt and these are said to have been
replaced by German officers from
German Southwest Africa.
Despite the attitude of many Boe1
leaders, who declare that Maritz is a
traitor not only to England but also
TO the Beers the government fears
that the rebel officer will gain many
! recruits outside of the main towns Of
! South Africa.
Thousands of Boer Burghers have
never accepted British rule, and it il
among these that MaritZ is believed
to have been working for man.

HUNTING THE WOUNDED.
(Colliers)

A few weeks ago ! was thrown in
to company with q lot OF people-aD
English corps Of ambulance workers.
| used to chafe some of them about
their bloodthirsty desire for wound
ed and impress on them the maxim
that the action of war largely con-
sisted in waiting. The waiting. In
fact. has been done by wounded. and
great, good workhas been done by
these English ladies and young doc
tors. who have had the pluck to go
out and find men grievousiy and bad
ly wounded. who lay wounded and
waiting for those who had courage
enough to bring them back from the
firing line to the nearest Red Cross
ambulance. At Grimbergen can
vouch for two instances where a very
gallant officer and his comrade were
found at six O'Clock in the evening
and brought back. who had been
under the rain and helpless from 9
O'Clock in the morning until 8 O'Clock
in the evening waiting for someone
succor them. They were found by an
English doctor and plucky English
girl. who bless her heart! hates pub
licity, and carried back with great
difficulty to a Red Cross wagon,
while otherwise they could not have
waited through the night.
Publicity Is one of the penalties OF
pluck however. Her name Is Lady
Dorthie Fielding. ond Doctor Hector
AIunro was the organizer Of the corps
which did such excellent work.

to shoot at the invading enemy. The
public complains that the English

writes In the London Times: Not

that noncombatants who shoot. in

WAR ZONE

Berlin, Dec. 23.-More than 20
lives have already been saved by a
black collie dog belonging to an am
bulance corps on the east Prussian
battlefield. In peace times the ami
NAL is an humble watchdog In the
railway station at Halle.
The dark winter nights and the
snow make the work Of finding the
wounded especially difficult. but
since the ambulance parties began
using dogs in the search. few wound
ed men have been overlooked. The
dogs carry a red cross on both
sides of their collar. AS soon as
night comes. generally the only time
in which the wounded can be search
ed for. the leashes are slipped and
the dogs are sent across the battle
fields. Instead of barking when
they fird wounded soldier. they
bring back some article OF the VIC
TINS equipment as a cap. helmet or
glove. They are then put on the
leash and they lead the ambulance
men to the spot whore the wounded
soldier lies. In this manner hun
dreds have been saved on the differ
cnt battlefields.
AT first some of the animals lead
the searchers to men already dead,
butt hey learn with surprising rap
idity to confine their attentions to
the living.

URIC AcjC IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says little Salts in water may save
YOU from dread attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure, states well Known au-
thority. We are advised to dress
warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid cX-
posure: eat less meat. but drink pleE-
~ OF good water.
rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which
IL absorbed into the blood. II is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out In
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also means of freeing the blood OF
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores arc
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to
do double work. they become weak
the uric acid which keeps accumu.
lating and circulating through the
system, eventually settling In the
lpints and muscles causing stiffness.
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twInge OF rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put a table
spoonful in glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for week. This is said to elimin-
ate uric acid by stimulating tile
kidneys to normal action. thus rid
ding the blood of these impurities
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with IT'LL

by thousands of folks who are sub
