DRESS WARM and
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid of Uric Acid.
fully as grea.

rheumatism is no respector of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
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 func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
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
er the skin pores are closed thus fore
ing the kidneys to do double work, they
become weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating 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 tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink it before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac-
ton, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
ard elmon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is ben
'eficial to your kidneys as we'll.

Savings Bank
In Germany Is
Thriving One

BERLIN, March 1.-THE German
savings banks scored remarkable rec
ord in 1915, according to statement
just issued by Herr Reusch,, the statis-
tician of these institutions who esti-
mates that the gain in deposits for the
year reached at least 100000 900, not
taking account of the amounts with
drawn for making subscriptions to the
war loans of the year. As subscrip-
tons to the latter amounted to about
$1,O7O,0 100000, the net reduction of de-
posts was about $170,000,000 Reusch
further says that the gain in deposits
was not due entirely to money being
brought to the banks, hut also to a
much larger extent than ever it was
due to the fact that depositors with
drew less money for ordinary purposes
than ever before. The number of out
standing books-in which the accounts
OF depositors are kept-was increased
in 1915 at a rate never before record
ed. An inquiry made in the larger
towns and industrial centers shows
that these books increased by AZ per
cent, whereas the greatest increase
previously recorded was Al per cent;
and Reusch assumes that the rate of
increase in the country districts was
fully as great

Guerrilla Warefare Among tn
Russians Has Been a Greo
Annoyance To The German,

PETROGRAD, March 14.-When the
history of Russian guerilla warfare on
the northern front during the past win
ter is written it will prove fascinat
ing and remarkable story. Although
little has appeared about it in the
press, it has accomplished some i'm
portant results and the General STAFF
has frequently commended it in the
highest terms. The people speak If it
as our little war"
Through the long winter months,
when the regular operations are i'm
possible, the Russians have kept at this
guarilla activity with the idea at
wearing down the Germans and under
mining their morale.
Late last autumn schemes for the
conduct of guerrilla warfare were in
vited from the army, while It was stiIl
engaged in the long and steady with
d-awal before the German invasion.
Every smart young officer hastened to
draw up his ideas of the best means of
wearing down the enemy. The plan
finally adopted was one proposed by a
young calvary officer. His scheme en-
couraged officers and men to volunteer
for this dangerous service by assuring
them of promotion, honors, and money
rewards, care being taken to frame the
conditions so that only the best men of
airy rank had chance of getting into
the new branch of service. One of the
conditions was that nothing whatever
was to be published of the exploits of
those chosen, and the only occasion
when this rule has been broken was
when the author of the scheme captur-
cd two German Generals and their
whole staff and escort in the Pinsk
marshlands.
The work has been going on without
irtermission throughout the winter
over the whole northern front. The
enemy has never known quiet night
anywhere within fifty miles of his front
trenches and in some sections this feel
ing of threatened security was made to
extend a hundred miles into the ter
1;tory occupied by the Germans.
Storehouses were fired, ammunition
trains exploded, trains derailed, bridg-
os dynamited, telegraph wires cut, Of

Uncle Sam Looks Into Our
Resources For Fertilizers

A survey of the nations resources in
fertilizer materials has drawn atten-
ton to the larger supply of these to
be found in the accumulation of garb-
age in cities. This waste material
contains nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash, which are recognized as
essential to the production of large
Cvrowds. Valuable as these elements
are to the farms of the country, the
garbage in which they are found is a
source of TROUBLE and expense to the
cities. lie seems, therefore, that this
garbage can be disposed of nose adj
vantageously by returning it to the
soil in the form of fertilizer
In cities of 100000 people or more
the reduction of garbage by methods
which furnish a residue fit for fer
tilizer use has proved TO be profitable
municipal enterprise, and in smaller
communities it might well be self
sustaining Numerous analysis of raw
garbage show that, on the average,
grease constitutes 35 per cent; and OF
the fertilizer ingredients potash, 0.3
Der cent; bone phosphate, l per cent:
and nitrogen in the form of ammonia.
| l per cent. On this basis the value of
ton of raw garbage is about s., the
grease being worth SO and the fertiliz-
err ingredients about 81.
Since the grease is of more value
than the fertilizer, the reduction pro-
cess is primarily designed to recover
the grease. Theer are three principal
methods of doing this. The garbage is
cooked and steamed and then pressed
dry and DECREASED in gasoline. Or, the
garbage is dried directly in rotary hot
air kilns and then DECREASED in gaso-
line; or it is dried and degreased in
enc operation.
| AS raw garbage contains 20 per cent
water and 3.5 per cent grease, the
yield of the tankage residue or fertil-
izer should be about Is per cent Thus,
4 tons of raw garbage should be made
to yield L ton of dried tankage and $12
1 worth of grease. In the retail market
the drieed tankage sells for about $40
ton and at wholesale for $3.50. There
has been no great f1uctuation in these
prices for some time. In actual prac-
tice, however the percentage of tank
age obtained is not usually 25 per
cent.
At present, however, only six cities
ir the United States operate their own
reduction plants, and about 20 send
their garbage to privately owned
Iplants. These produce in the course of
g year 10000 tons of tankage, or
fertilizer, made from 1,045, 900 tons of
raw garbage. If all of the 1879 cities
in the United States which have a
population of 10000 or over should
adopt this method of garbage disposal,
the total yield should be from 637 800
tons to 973,5OO tons of fertilizer per
year. This would be worth from 81,
10000 to 100000. Additional fer
tilizer material could also be obtained
in the cities from dead animals, street
Esweepings, and stable manure
This subject, specialists in the U.
S Department of Agriculture believe,
merits careful consideration, because
it will be of advantage both to the
American farmer and to the cities from
which he obtains his fertilizer.

OFFICE IS

"A. E. Pinney, auditor and adjuster

is in splendid condition and that in Sc
curing maximum of efficiency with a

northwestern states which comprise
his jurisdiction.
He states that figures he has COM
piled for his report show that in the
past six years from 1910 to 1916 in
elusive, the Office has been charged
with taxes amounting to $2.810.222.5O
and of this immense sum only $9.308.-

lent to approximately one third of one
per cent.
The miscellaneous collections during
the same period We're $1.08G.153.19
making the total money handled by
the Office $3.887.067.04
The expenses during the six years
were $46.O58.93 which shows that the
expense of collection was less than
twelve cents per thousand dollars
while in the state of Washington the
best record made by any county trea-
surer was nineteen cents per thousand
dollars.
