however, to the southwest Of Nerdun,

Military men attach considerable
importance to the operations in this
region for, they say, in conjunction
with the continued French pressure
on the German lines to the west Of
the fortress Of Perthes they will
check, if successful, the German OPP

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
SAYS a Little Salts in Water
May Save You From
Dread Attack.

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 a direct result OF cat
ing too much meat and other rich foods
that produce uric acid, which is alb
sorbed into the blood. 1t Is the func-
ton 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 i'm
purity. 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 accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the joints and muscles, causing
stiffness. soreness. and pain. called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for a week. This is
said to eliminate uric acid by stinlulat-
ing the kidneys to normal action, thus
Kidding 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-
matlsm. Here you have a pleasant, ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid, and is bene-
ticial to your kidneys as well.-Advt.

Health Department Figures
Show 130 Cases Now Are
Under Treatment.

Figures compiled by the Health De-
partment today show there are 1870
cases of scarlet fever. under treatment
in the District, the percentage being un-
usually large when compared with last
year. From January 1 to March 30 tho
number OF cases reported was 2S2. Dur
ing the same period of last year 154
cases were reported.
Most of the cases, according to the
Health Department, are of mild type.
which accounts, it Is said, for the pre-
valencc of the disease. In the first stages
the children, who are usually the VIC
Tins, apparently, are not i'll enough to re-
quire the services Of a physician, and
transmit the disease TO their playfeflows
and schoolmates before the nature Of
the malady is known.
Several cases have been discovered
among pupils In public schools. In all
such cases the school room was disn-
fected and a close watch kept on other
pupils. In no instance has it been
necessary to close the building.
Following is a statement of the Health
Department in regard TO prevention of
the disease:
Scarlet fever is always dangerous
he contracted from a patient suffering
from the mildest form of the malady
and from a patient even in the latest
stages Of convalescence. Patients not
sick enough to be in bed communicate to
the disease oftener than do very ill pa
tents The ordinary duration of the
disease is from forty to nifty days"
and sore throat followed in from
twenty four to forty-cight hours by the
appearance on the body of a fine red
