FOR HAMMERSTEIN
Assets More Than Five Times Lab lies,
Says Attorney-Proceedin to Pro-
tect Enterprises During
Illness.

New York, March 3l.-A receiver fol
Oscar Hammerstein was appointed by tho
United States district court here yester-
day. The action resulted from an equity
suit brought by the American Seating
Co., described as creditor
Mr.. Hammerstein is said to be serious
w i'll at his home here. The impresario
has been suffering for three weeks with
an intestinal disorder and a carbuncle on
his left foot.
Mr.. Hammerstein's liabilities are alp
proximately 100000 his assets moro
than five times that amount, according
to statement issued by his attorney
The statement recites that because OF

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says Little Salts in Water May
Save You from Dread
Attack

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than &c
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 a direct result OF eat
ing too much meat and other rich foods
that produce uric acid, which is absorbed
into the blood. II 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 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
acid, which keeps accommodating and cir
culating through the system, eventually
settling in the Joints and muscles, caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism,
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful
in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
ton, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and lem
on juice, combined with lithia, and is
used with excellent results by thousands
of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
Here you have a pleasant, efferyes"ent,
lithia water drink, which helps overcome
uric acid and is beneficial to your kid
neys as well.--Adyt.

Staked Heavily on Victory
There, Says Pet
rograd
ARMY OVER
LAKE ON ICE
Lull in Vistula Campaign
Battle in Buko-
vina

Petrograd, via London, March BIZ
That the German efforts to advance IN
the rans-Niemen district of Poland were
of supreme military Importance is shown
in Yesterdays official statement.
The offensive failed, it is stated, on
March 81 but not before the Germans
had paid heavy price. In one in
stance the Germans did not hesitate to
attempt thanking movement by send
ing their forces over the ice OF Lake
Dusia.
The official statement follows:
"From official documents which VIC
have captured, it seems that the Ger
mans attached Importance to their Of
fensive movement in the trans iemen
district which failed on the 9th. The
principal task was assigned to the 3lst
division supported by three reserve regi'
ments with large body OF cavalry.
These troops advanced from kalwarIa ON
krauss with orders to push forward at
Ill costs to Lozizieie and to cut of Rus
;ian forces which were engaging Ger
man army west of that point.
"The Germans in the execution OF this
plan made prodigious efforts, and even
attempted to envelop ON the ice OF Lake
Dusia our right wing, which was operat-
ing north of Lizizieje. Moving over the
ice of Lake Dusja the Germans also at
tempted to turn our position in the pas
sage between the lake and Simno. In
two instances, however, near the villages
of Siemieniszka and Metelica, we de-
veloped counter attacks against German
troops which had penetrated our rear
and annihilated them completely.
During the last two days on the left
bank of the Nistula the Germans have
been very economical in their artillery
fire. 1t would appear that the German
forces in that region have been eonsid-
eraby weakened
London. March 3l.--The Russian army
that attempted second invasion OF Btu
kovina has met with further reverses.
according to Bucharest dispatches yes
terday. These advices confirmed the
Vienna claim that General lvanoff's army
has been driven back 20 miles from in
front of Czernowitz andacross the Dneis-
ter river.
Petrograd dispatches yesterday contin
ued silent about the operations OF Cen
eral Ivanoh's force-. Though a cessation
of the Russian offensive against Buku-
vina was expected while the attempt -
force the Lupkow and Uszok passes was
being made, military critics here yester-
day expressed the opinion that the Rus
sian general staff must now move quick
" and reinforce the Slav army falling
back in the extreme east.

Your heart works night and day with.
out a pause. II is the principal organ OF
the circulation of your blood. II IS OF
the utmost Importance that it should do
It's work well. The quality and quantity

New connplicatio in Hayti.

Recognition of the new Gullaume
government in Hayti by Germany and
Italy, following closely upon recognition
by France is causing the state depart
ment some concern over its effect on the
programme OF rehabilitation headed by
former Governor Fort of New Jersey.
An American syndicate had been formed
to strsighten out Haytian finances with
American recognition OF Guillaume, but
a loan Of million dollars by France,
which went with its recognition, practi-
cally puts that plan out of the ques-
ton.
