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 q wel1-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 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 th':
urine: the pores of the skin are also a
means of freeing the blood of this i'm
purity In damp and chilly cold wealth
err the skin pores are closed thus
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate the uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
joints and muscles causing 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 a
glass Of water and drink before break
fast each morning for week. This is
said to eliminate uric acid by stimulat-
ing the Kidneys to normal action, thus
Kidding the blood of these impurities.
lad 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 a pleasant,
effervescent Whitewater drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
ficial to your kidneys as well.-Adv.

the task of filling the roles of BERTHE,
Agnes, Mrs. Opdyke and the Rev.
Murray Hilton. but Mr.. Brooks's
knowledge of players abilities, made
him quick to find exactly the right
people for these parts, and in Thomas

INTIMATE FAKE STATISTICS?
E. l.. Hogueland on Stand in Chicago.
Says Railway Figures Valueless.

Chicago, April 20.-The assertion
was made today before w. NJ. Daniels,
interstate commerce commissioner be-
fore whom testimony is being given in
the western freight rate case, that fig
ureS presented in some of the railroad
statistical exhibits were erroneous and
that some comparisons made by rail-
road witnesses were without value.
The contentious were presented by
E. L. Hogueland of Topeka, Kan, for
mer rate expert of the Kansas railroad
commission, a witness called by the
committee of railroad commissioners
to object to the proposed advance in
freight rates on certain commodities
asked by forty-one western railroad
systems.
The testimony of Hogueland was
primarily on the proposed advance of
1 cent a hundred pounds on grain
freight charges.

Va. there are but very few places
where large ships cannot approach
with safety to within two miles Of the
coast, and the extent of this shore line
that is too precipitous or too ruepe
to make a landing impracticabIe is
small The only force that can prevent
such a landing is a navy of our own
strong enough to prevent such an cx-
petition from reaching our coast.
In saying that a hostile expedition
can land upon our coast at will. out
side the range of our coast defence
guns | mean that it is practically pos
sible and no very great difficulty. | do
not mean that such force could ac-
complish its object by landing any
where on cur coast.
no commander would desire to
have his force isolated on the peninsu-
las of Maine nor on the sand dunes of
New jersey, Delaware, MARYLAND or
Virginia with inland waters between
them and the mainland. They will pre-
fer to land where there are railroads
and good roads leading to their obiec-
tive, which would probably be one Of
our large cities. Such places are nu-
merous along the coast of Massachu-
sets, both shores of Massachusetts,
Bay, the eastern and southern shores
of Long Island and in the Delaware
and Chesapeake bays.
"A landing place sheltered from the
force of the sea would greatly facili-
tate the Decentralization Of a hostile
force, but is not a vital necessity. Such
sheltered places ara too numerous to
name, but among them are French
man s Bay, Penobscot Bay, Blue Hill
Bay, Sheepscott River, Casco Bay in
Maine, Rockport, Gloucester, Salem,
| Plymouth, Provincetown, Vineyard
Sound and Buzzards Bay in Massachu-
setts, Ford Pond Bay, and then to the
southwark, Delaware and Chesapeake
bays.
'sOnly the navy can prevent land
ings at those places, and that navy
must he strong enough TO defeat the
enemy; and should we have such a navy
the enemy would not attempt an in
vasion as long as it remained in
existence
''Our main defence and protection
from invasion must therefore always
| rest with the navy. which must ever
remain our first and best line of de
fence. This defence, unless adequate
is impotent; and as before stated, ade
| quacy IS not reached until the navy is
! strong enough TO meet on equal terms
/ the navy of the strongest possible adj
| versary.

Land Near Railroads.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-Only a
navy strong enough to meet on equal
terms the navy of the strongest proba-
bic adversary" could prevent the land
ing Of hostile forces at a large number
of important points On the Atlantic
seaboard, according to letter from
Admiral George Dewey to Congressman
A. 2. Gardner of Massachusetts, read
by Mr.. Gardner in a speech in the
house.
The coast of Massachusetts, says Adj
miral Dewey, is especially vulnerable,
and he also cites 1.-THE eastern end and
south shore of Long Island and the
Delaware and Chesapeake bays
Here is Admiral Dewey's letter to
Mr. Gardner in full:
Il beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of December asking me
to write you setting forth my views on
the question of the possibility of large
hostile forces landing on cur coast and
inviting my attention to an article by
Eric Fisher Wood which appeared in
the Century last month.
The part of the Atlantic coast men
toned in Mr.. Wood 5 article extends
from Eastport, Me, to Cape Henry, Va,
and in this area we have permanent de-
fences on the PencbScot aud Kennebec
rivers at Portland, Portsmouth, Boston
and New Bedford harbors. at Nara
gansett Bay, at the eastern entrance
to Long Island Sound, at the entrance
to New York harbor, on the Delaware
River at Baltimore, on the upper Pc
tomac River and at Hampton Roads
| Of these defences only those at Port
land, Narragansett Bay. entrance tC
| Long Island Sound and the entrance to
New York protect the coast; the others
are solely harbor defences.
| cit is true that a large hostile force
can land on the open coast wherever
the transports can get within reason
able distance Of the shore, and especi
ally SO where their landing is covered
| by the gnnfire of the naval escort, even
though the landing be opposed by
! troops. .
| The most recent example of this i
the landing of the allied troops on tn,
Gallipoi Peninsula. We have simila
examples in our own history, as tn
landing of Scott s army near Yer.
Cruz, the landings near Fort Fisher an,
the landing of Shafter' s army On tn
south coast of Cuba.

YOUR BOYS AND GIRLS

Most children have the bad habit
of throwing down anywhere their
gloves, which are seldom to be found
together when again wanted Rub
Der shoes are kicked off hurriedly
and left wherever they happen to
fall.
Gloves are hard to take care Of
for which reason the children have
some excuse for carelessness. One
way to aid them to form a good hab-
II is to fasten small brass rings to
the gloves; these will not show wnen
the gloves are being worn and may
easily be put over a small hook, II
the latter is placed in convenient
place.
AS for the rubber shoes, spring
clothes pins will hold them together.
But, what is necessary and seldom
at hand when putting on rubber
shoes is a shoe horn. BY the use Of
II a difficult task may easily be nc
complished and the mothers temper
and fingers saved.
