KEEP URIC ACID !:
-. =. OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water
Rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accumulating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
tling in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid. by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
tion, thus ridding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have pleasant,
effervescent lithia water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as WE'LL

EXOTIC STUcco.

How TO Make the Plaster House Look
at Home.
There is an exotic look about many
stucco and plaster houses built in
many parts of the world today, and it
is because the plaster house is really a
product of the tropics transplanted.
When it is built in colder climates It
lacks the environment which it was
made to fit and therefore lacks some
thing essential.
Take a plaster cottage on the bleak
New England sea coast or a stucco
cabin in western desert or a plaster
and stucco house I'm any Of a hundred
suburbs in temperate chimes. They
do not look as If they belonged where
they are. And this is the reason;
They look bare.

How 70 Marry on 81 a Month.

How to Marry on SIS a Month.
TNHIS is the story Of a young cou-
pie who are to be married In a

good business, with prospects OF

The girl is pretty, sensible and we'll
trained She knows just what income
they are going to have and that It
must cover everything. This is the
way these young folks are planning to
use the income, and before the knot Is
tied they are going to try to find a
place TO live where such conditions are
possible.
Their rent must not exceed 20 per
cent OF their income, or $40 a month.
Their table expenses must be covered
by 80 per cent Of their money. or S22.5O

happy and free from immediate worry.
If the income is raised, half Of the raise
ought to be put aside for an emergen-

You see in the division Of the $50 a
month there is no room for extrava-
gance. Everything must be carefully
bought All divisions Of salary, Of

salary the larger the proportion that
will be spent for food. But the per

How to Clean Window Shades by Lat
est Method
If the window shades are soiled at
the bottom and If they are sufficiently
long. cut them off, make a new hem
and rehang. The neat appearance will
repay you for the trouble. If they are
not long enough to permit of this treat
ment turn the shades top to bottom.
In stitching in the hem fold the hem
carefully and slip the stick into place
before stitching. Then there is no dan
ger Of cracking the holland.
Sometimes the paper which has been
used for lining the cake pan sticks to
the cake. Warm the loaf slightly;
then it may be the more easily re
moved.
A few seeded raisins or chopped
dates added to the nut or apple salad
is well worth while.
If the red tiles of the vestlbule be-
come dull try rubbing them with LEM
on dipped in salt. After half an hour
wash IN the usual way. The tiles will
be perceptibly frightened.
If the white of egg is used in mixing
a mustard plaster there is little OF no
danger Of blistering the most sensitive
skin.
