A close connection exists between
these two--cold weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts IN excess, is tde real cause of
rheumatism. Every one has recognized
the difference in the appearance of
their water as soon as it gets cold ;
there Is often q "brickdust" sediment.
Several causes may lead up to an &C
cumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, Ia turn, causes rheumatism or

Two smaller oblongs are cut from the
heavy blue paper, to cover an address
book and two white blotters. Narrow
blue satin ribbon is used for fastening
the leaves of the address book to its
cover, and the two blOtters TO their

The flowers and foliage are cut from
printed paper napkins and pasted
down. They look exactly like stencil
painting. This is a convenient and
pretty set, which costs next to nothing
TO make.

While 1t is not to be expected that
Haughton will insist that the players
Of the Boston Braves will be held to
the same degree Of accountability that
prevails in college football circles. It
is certain that the new president OF
the club will insist upon an obsery-
ance of all the rules recently laid
down by former President Gaffney In
his letter to the players, and may
even 90 further. With Haughton as
president and George Stallings as man

that a new regime prevails in the
game. 'e
