Tul. Those subject to rheumatism
should eat less meat. dress as
warmly as possible. avoid any pm

lots OF pure water.
Rheum|ism IS caused by uric
acid which is generated in the
bowels and absorbed into the
blood. It 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 q means of freeing the blood
OF this irnpurity. In damp and
chilly. cold weather the skin pores
are closed. thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accumulating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventual
ly settling in the joints and mus
cles, causing stiffness, soreness

At the first twinge of rheuma-

four ounces of Jad Salts; put a
( tablespoonful in a glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for a week. This is said
to eliminate uric acid by stimulat-

States marshall returned to the
city Sunday from Sisseton, where
he made several arrests last week
and attended hearings before Com
missioner Croal
George )ugg was arrested Satur-
day Oh the charge of assault and
battery. The complaint charges
that he struck his brother Matt
Jugg, with pitch fork, inAicting
injuries which made it necessary
to take the latter to a hospital at
Sisseton. The defendent was
bound over to the next term of
court in this city under bonds of
81 600 after his arrangement be-
fore Commissioner Croal.
While at Sisseton, Deputy Healy
took into custody, Jacob Huksa,
who is charged with introducing
liquor on the Sisseton Wahpeton
reservation. Huksa was bound
over to the next grand jury i'll Aber-
deen under bonds of $500.
Mr. Healy also reports the ar
rest of Nathaniel Cline by the city
authorities of Sisseton on the charge
OF selling bottle of whlskey to an
Indian. Cline, it is alleged, has
been arrested several times on
similar charges, and will probably
be taken into charge by the govern
ment authorities after the city has
dealt with him. Cline is the pro-
prietor of livery stable i'll Slsseton.

alleged to have been sold by him

No wonder people like to come

you want and at the right price.
Over d hundred exchanges come

various towns all over the state

always look over the advertising
columns for new ideas in display.
But we have failed to find a
single one where price quota

jority of ads the prices are high

satisfied at home just do a little
investigating away from home.

FARMERS QUITTING CANADA.

Groton-It is believed that as
a result of the war tax on land
imposed by the Canadian gov
ernment a number of former Da-
kota farmers who went to the
British northwest will be COM
PEELED to return to the United
States. Information has been
received that the tax will amount
to about $500 for each farm Of
100 acres, which in the case Of
many of the former residents of
the two Dakotas would practi-
cally amount to contiscation. 1t
also is believed that the impos-
ing OF the tax will put a stop to
the immigration of farmers from
the two Dakotas to the British
northwest, and therefore will
prove a gain to the two states.

KEEP CHOLERA OUT.

Brool1ings- During the cholera
season Of the year farmers should
practice the stricllest quaran-

Dr.. G. G. Lipp OF State college.
"Neighbors and strangers must
not be allowed in or about the
hog yards or pens. Hog owners
must not visit their neighbors'
hog yards. Dogs must not be
allowed to run at large or from
one farm to another Stock
yards in all towns are infected
and serve as spreaders of the
disease. Stay out of them. Stock
buyers often spread the disease
by going from one farm to an
other. See to it that they do
rot enter your pens or yard S.
Do not take horses or wagons
into infected yards, and keep
your neighbors teams out of
your hog yards. BY all means
plan to keep your hogs in small
yards or fields. Do not allow
them to run at large over the
public highways or even ovel
the entire farm. When hogs are
bought, even if they come from
farms where no cholera exists
quarantine them for at least three
weeks in a small pen or yard
before turning them into the
herd. If no cholera shows uL
at the end of three weeks dip
the hogs before removing them
from the quarantine yard"
