Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states fl well-kncwn author ity. We arc 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 othe:. 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 osit in the urine: the pores of the skin are also q means of freeing the blood cf this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores arc closed thus forcing tthe kidneys 10 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 tho jcints and muscles causing stiffness. soreness and pan called rheumatism.
 At the first twipge of rEeumailsm get from any pharmacy about fou- ounces of lad Salts; put tnblespo5n- full in q glass Of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for week.

ACCUSED LIES TO
 JUDGE; IS FINED
Guiseppi Demiokelc Violated Traffic Rules and Neglected to Have
 Bell on Bicycle.

Honesty is the best policy, every tine," remarked Judge James T. Mes kill after court this morning. Giuseppe Demiokele had just been fined $4 and costs for riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the street and also for not having it equipped with Il bell. Had Giuseppe told the truth. how ever, he would have been better off. Instead he tried to strengthen his own case by lying, and the fine resulted
 Early yesterday afternoon he col lided with young Philip Larson. an- other bicyclist, in front of Hatch's block. Philip and companion de- clared he was on the wrong side of the road, but ,Guiseppe insisted that he had to turn to the left to avoid a trolley car and an automobile. In addition, he declared that Philip and another boy were riding along the street in a zig-zag fashion and were playing with a ball. This the boys denied.
 But when Officer Atwater told As- sistant Prosecutor Andrew that Guiseppi had no bell on his bicycle the additional count was charged against him. He declared that he had a bell. but when he collided with Lar son it fell off and some boys stole it. He tried to make this story more impressive by stating that he had bought the bell at the five and ten cent store the night before last.
 What time did you buy it?" asked the judge.
 Some time between 10 and II o'clock he replied.
 When he saw he had compromised himself he changed it, saying he had bought it between and o'clock Tuesday evening.
 As the store is not open in the evening his lie was very barefaced and Judge Meskill remarked: "Tt would have been better for you if you had told the truth. I fine you $2 and costs on each count.'''
 This was the only case in police court this morning.
