An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight Is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing IL
with greasy foods: rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt. while the
real cause of thinness goes untouched.
You cannot get fat until your digestive
tract assimilates the food you cat.
Thanks to remarkable new scien-

elements needed by the digestive organs
TO help them convert food into rich. fat

DUBIOUS CHARITIES ARE
said TO Be suffering
Chamber Of Commerce Issues State
ment Regarding It's Scheme Re-
quiring Issuance Of Certificate Of
Investigation to Local Enterprises

The, Chamber of Commerce issued
yesterday a statement of which the
following is part:
"The agreement that members of
the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
have signed pledging themselves not to
contribute cash, merchandise or serv-
ices to any charity or other proposition
or buy programs or other special ad-
vertising until Certificate of In
vestigation' has been issued by the
committee in charge of such matters,
is attracting wide spread attention.
'Quite number of unwarranted
appeals for financial support and
worthless advertising schemes have
danguished in Harrisburg since the
Chamber of Commerce put its plan in
to effect. The members report a mark
ed decrease in appeals to them for sup.
port from dubious charities and adver-
tising mediums.
1.-The Boston Chamber of Commerce
whose work in such matters ha, at.
tracted national attention, regards the
Harrisburg Chamber plan as better
than its own. Numerous Pennsylvania
commercial organizations have writ
ten to Harrisburg for sample forms
and an explanation of the plan in or
der to put it in effect there. The char
ity organization department of the
Russell Sage Foundation, New York,
which acts as national clearing house
for charity regulation, has written
for information about the Harrisburg
plan. s-t
Two original aids to suppressing
uncensored charity, soliciting and spe-
cial advertising schemes have been de-
vised by the Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce. One is promptly to bulletin
each member whenever necessary about
the work of the regulation department.
This puts the members on their guard.
1t also reminds them not to patronize
the out of town salesmen and many
instances have been recorded of an
out of town salesman being shown the
door as result of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce work.
The second aid is an agreement
entered into by the secretaries in
eighteen principal Pennsylvania cities
to advise each other promptly when a
questionable scheme that might either
be or become transient evil was be-
ing worked in any of the cities. The
result is that the business organiza.
tions are learning from each other of
the gentry that try to work each
good town in the State in turn.
1.-The saving in money effected by
the censorship by the Chamber en-
ables members to afford to give libsr.
ally to a cause that has justified the
issuance to it of Certificate of In.
vestigation.

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 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 direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce, uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t 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 sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accumulating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
tling in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twiuge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
tion, thus ridding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litha
and is used with excellent results By
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent Whitewater drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene,
fetal to your kidneys as well.-Adv.
