the little fellow clutched the money

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Acid In Rheumatism,

1t Is said tomatoes augment
if they do not cause rheuma-
tism. The acid in them, while it
adds to the flavor Of the vege-
table. is very injurious to govt.
and many think it is better not
to eat them. Rheumatism is
beyond doubt an acid disease.
and any acid, save citric, as
found in the lemon and orange,
may give rise to it. Strawber-
ries and peaches are familiar ex-
amples Of the acid giving rise
to this disease. Meat. too, acts
as a generator Of lithic or uric
acid. as every one knows. Do
not eat tomatoes If troubled with
govt or rheumatism.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Game Of Artists.

TIC OdIUe VI HCtIStSs
A girl and boy are chosen as cap
tains, and they choose alternately from
the company until all are divided into
two parties under the respective cap
tains. Then the girl seats one Of her
party SO that he must face the men,
bers Of the opposition, who then ad-
dress remarks to him, each in the char
acter Of an artist. To every remark
the answer is, Twas l." except when
ali artists name Is mentioned. Then
he must say "Indeed!' For instance.
the head Of the opposition might say,
IL painted the picture Of a donkey"
"'Twas l."
"He was eating thistles."
"'Twas l."
"Rosa BOnheur furnished the copy"
"Indcedv should be the answer to
this. Then the next member Of the
opposition takes UP the observations.
"Chase has u new model"
"lndeed.''
II got him for Chase from Sing
Sing"
"Indeedv
HE was in Jail for bigamy."
""Twas l."
No matter how much the other
guests may laugh while playing this
game. the victim must keep quite Sc
rious. If he laughs or IL he fails to
make the proper response he is obliged
to take his seat with. the opposite side.
and the captain who chose him loses
one member Of her company.
The idea is to see which leader will
have the larger party at the end Of the
time fixed upon as the duration Of the
game. The sides take turns in teasing
the victim sent from the opposite side.
Each member Of the opposite party is
expected to make three remarks to
him, the first always referring to
picture. If he fails in this he Is
promptly called to sit on the opposite
side.

Story Of q Proud Cat,


One day there lived very proud
cat whose name was Kitty. She had
soft. black and glossy fur, with a blue
ribbon round her neck. The house in
which she lived was big, beautiful
building. Opposite her lived poor
dog named Toby. who, being unused
to the luxuries of Kitty, did not know
what it was to be proud. At this time
there was certain law between dogs
and cats. This law was that when you
are pleased you must wag your tail, but
when you are angry you must keep it
stiff. Kitty. thinking that as she was so
rich it was unfair to make her do even
one thing the same rs such poor
creature as Toby. broke this law and
did just the opposite. She was. Of
course, punished. and since then cats
wag their tails when they are angry
instead of when they are pleased.

 That the Germans have gained ground in their attack encirling movement on the French left wing Is admitted by the French foreign off flee, but it is assertel also that after three-day battle in this region tie Anglo French line, although pusnea back, still remains unbrOken.
 This is described as the wearing down. policy on the part of the allied armies, and it is claimed tha. the losses of the attacking forces have been enormously greater than have those of the defenders.

The curtain on Pine Bluffs cotton season went up yesterday and all shipping firms and cotton factors in 1 the city opened their doors to do l business fer the next nine months. A total of fifteen bales were received the first day, mostly by factors This l is a much smaller number than is usually brought to the city on the mi | tial day of the season but owing to | the nCessant rains. of the past month. only little progress has been made in the field
 All of the cotton men who have been out of the city for the past three months have returned and assumed their duties at their respective of
 fices Among the arrivals yesterday l were Sidney W>st and Aeon Swift of the Crump Britton X West Cotton company. who have been spending their vacation at Memphis and other points: W, A. Thompson of Memphis and W. l.. Thompson of Winona, Miss. who are associated with the E. A. Shaw Cotton company.
 None of the offices in the city ex- pect to do any large amount of busi- nes until October 1 on account of the unsettled conditions. The cotton men say that only little picking is being done in the field and that the farm CTS are not making any effort to market their staple at the present time. The heavy rains of the past month have also interfered with pick ing and it is thought that cotton will moi he broueht to the city in any quantity until the first of next month.
 Local cotton firms who market their cotton in the East and do no eX- port business. are making prepara tions to do a large business. Several firms have received advices from eastern factories, stating that they will buy enough cotton this season to run their factories for four years. All the stanle than cannot be worked this year will be stored.
 Firms doing only export business are worried considerably because of the European war. and many will make an effort to dispose of the cot ton in tho Eastern markets.
