All Money Good In Canada.

There is no place in the world where
money is under less supervision than
In Canada. The coins in circulation
there are not confined to the Dominion.
British halfpennies and pennies cir
culate as freely as the cents. and Unit
ed States coins of all descriptions are
accepted as equal in value to the Ca
madam coins, though the United States
refuses to handle the coins of the
Dominion on it's own side Of. the Dor
der. In the course of busy day in
Canada you are not surprised to meet
coinage Of many nations. Sometimes
you get finds. A correspondent who
is an amateur coin collector tells me
he got among his change a beautiful
specimen Of farthing of the reign Of
George I'LL, and an hour or two after
ward he became the possessor of an
old Irish halfpenny over 100 years old.

these two coins had been carefully

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
TELLS RHEUMATISM SUFFERERS
TO TAKE SALTS AND GET
RID OF URIC ACID.

rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all. drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels
and absorbed into the blood. 1t is
the function of the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast it
cut in the urine; the pores Of the
skin are also a 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 elimi-
nate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
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 tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, 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 hth-
ii and is used with excellent results
by thousands of folks who are sub
jeet to rheumatism. Here you have
pheasant. effervescent lithia-water
drink which overeomes uric acid and
