Exposure and Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry. eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin called uric acid. which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast IL out in the urine The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this inpurity In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed. thus forcing the kid

weak and sluggish and fail to eIirui-

the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness

on the steps of the cluE and gazed
after the receding car with a smile of
satisfaction.
The limousine sped on to the address
which Blye had given the driver. June
studied the house earnestly. 1t was a
smart looking building. The windows
were brilliantly lighted. and in the par
lor were three young ladies in rather
striking evening dress. June gave the
driver the address Of 4 modest hotel
Halfway to their destination June
changed her mind. The modest hotel,
she remembered. had a blazing lobby,
and there was no way to pass I'm or out
without being stared at She gave the
driver another address. Marie saw
June's panic In her face. She found
the little hands of June cold with
nervous collapse.
'EastP' she snapped to the driver.
81 don't know the number. I'll tell
you when we get there"
A few minutes later they stopped in
front of dingy looking building with
no light in the vestibule. Marie jump
ed out and rang the doorbel. 4 wom-
an came to the door. They exchanged
a few brief words, and Marie ran down
to the limousine.
Its all right, Junie. Mrs. Boales
has nice back room for you and a
cot for me-
June stepped from the car with a
sigh of relief. A home of any sort was
welcome now. 1t had been long and
exciting day.

Marie. sweeping past with her arms
full of hutties.
Blye was in front of his club with

Blye asked.
'She wouldn't stop at Mother Rus

gray mustached man. Orin Cunning
ham.
"There was no number ON the house,
boss. but l can find it."
Drive us there" directed Blye.
Down on the dingy east side street he
tried earnestly to pin down Scatti's
dizzied memory. UP and down Blye
moved. seeking in every window for
some sign of the runaway bride. Sud-
denly his eye caught the CLINT of some
thing in a vestibule. He ran up the
steps. The glittering object was a
buckle on a dainty little slipper, one
which June's collie had carried down
to the taxi for her when she had stolen
her clothes and Marie from her IA
