rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in tho bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t Is tho func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast il out in the
urine; the pores OF the skin are also
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 this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in tn"

The District Commissioners viii hc
asked by members of the Builders
and Manufacturers Exchange to in

builders license fee of s25 charged by
the local government, and to direct
that no building permit be issued to

At the monthly meeting of the cx-

CABINET CONSIDERS
NOTE OF GERMANY
Officials Still Indignant at Un.
diplomatic Language Of
Communication.

Secretary Of state Bryan placed be-
fore President wilson at cabinet meet
ing today the fun text of the recent
German note protesting against Amer
ican shipments OF munitions to the
allies. and discussed with the President
the tentative answer to the protest.
While officials maintained silence over
this new issue presented with Germany.
II was apparent that tho resentment
caused by the use OF undiplomatic Ian
guage In the Bernstorff note had not
cooled down in the least.
1t was admitted today a reply to the
latest note would not be made by this
Government for several days. Mean
while Ambassador Gerard. at Berlin. is
understood to have instituted an in
auirv as to how far the vie"s express
ed in the note meet the approval OF the
German foreign office.
Tho blanket announcements al the
German embassy here that Ambassador
Won B"rnstorff acted at the request OF
the foreign offiCs is accepted at its
face value. but this Government wishes
TO determine definitely before replying
whether the language used was that
OF the ambassador or the foreign min
'ster. Tf the latter. then it is expected
the reply OF the United States VIII
be different than II the note simply
represents the views of Ambassador
Won Bernstorrf and his advisers.
There is not the slightest doubt that
this latest note Is resented in official
quarters. Not aloone did the note show
p direct change In views on the part of
tho embassy here, WHICH only a short
time ago declared il, wanted no en-
barge placed on arms. but the making
OF il public without consulting the
wishes OF this Government was a
breach of etiquette. The suggestion
that this Government threaten reprisals
in the way Of ernbargoes il the allies do
not allow free trade in non n-contraband
with GERMANY is considered an implied
threat. and officials say that the vari-
Ous issues raised are such as to de-
mamd positive rather than conciiiatory
replies.
The President considered the tentative
reply t,thn Cabinet meeting. but 1t is
unde erstOod that II will not be completed
until Ambassador Gerard is heard from.
which will be today or tomorrow.

From Commander as to His
Future Plans.

Officials Of the Treasury Department
we're in touch today with Collector
Hamilton at Norfolk, awaiting word
from the commander Of the German
raider Kronprinz Wilhelm as to his
future plans. He promised to sign an
application today ror permission to
dock the converted liner so that her
plates. started by hard usage, could be
reriVeted; certain boiler tubes replaced,
and new inJectors put in position. This
application is expected to ask for at least
three weeks to make these repairs and
also for coal and provisions suffice mt
to take the liner back to her home port
Of Bremen.
Meanwhile. officials expect Command
er Thierfelder will decide that IT is i'm
possible to run the gantlet OF the allied
warships now off the capes, and will
voluntarily intern his ship. 1t will he
at least fortnight before his crew will
be physically able to return to dutv
and some Of them will be in the hos
pital much longer, as their condition is
quite serious.
While Admiral Fletcher will keep a
supervisory eye on the kronprinZ and
furnish such guard as is necessary, the
Treasury, and not navy officials, will
have charge Of the cruiser until she
either leaves or clears.
The Newport Dry Dock Company
notified Assistant Treasurer Peters to-
day that it had been asked to repair
The Wilhelm and asked instructions.
