Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid

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 1t out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also a
means of freeing the blood of this inn

the skin pores are closed thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work, they be-

ulating and circulating through the sys-

Have Not Had HaDrss OF Men, says

IF the women OF today mad as many
bad habits as the men, | would pity the
coming generations. indeed" said DR.. A.
b. somers. In an address on Prenatal
Influences" yesterday afternoon. in the
Baby Health week" program.
He was speaking Of the strictly hygienic
lives that must be lived by prospective
mothers In order 20 assure babies OF the
highest possible healthiness. The women
who use intoxicating liquors and tobacco,
he pointed out. are comparatively very
few. and the temperate lives of the
mothers OF today insurea the health OF
the generations of tomorrow.
Milk. bread, eggs and beef are four
things which he said should be on the
daily diet. He pointed out the danger
OF pregnancy calling into activity dis
eases lying dormant In the prospective
mother. and urged that she put herself
under a physicians care.
There Is no danger OF any baby being
marked physically because of anything
that its mother may see or hear or do In
it's prenatal period he said.
Speaking of the Chicago case. where a
badly deformed baby was allowed to die a
few weeks age. he said:
THE issue of life or death does not lie
with the physician. IL Is his duty 10 do
everything to preserve life and not to sit
In judgment to determine whether life Is
desirable or not. The child should not
have been allowed to die"
Mrs. X. r. ]. Edholm read q paper
urging strict registration of births. In
lack OF such registration. she said. the
United States Is in a class with China
and Turkey.
''Our marriages and our deaths are
strictly accounted for by civil and re-
ligious authorities" she said. but the
entrance OF baby into the world Is not
recorded officially"
She pointed out the many advantages
OF such official registration OF births, and
the dangers that are accruing through
lack Of It.

FATHER HAS SOME
DUTIES TO PERFORM
Should Be of Greater Help to Mother
in Bringing Up Children, Says
Stymest Stevenson.
GRAFT ON BABY WEEK PROGRAM

That Father has something more TO do
than pay the grocery bill and then kick
about it"--that he should learn really to
know his children. visit the schools oc-
caslonally and Join fathers clubs to meet
In the school houses and talk over az
fairs bearing on child welfare in a man
way-these points were urged by stymesr
Stevenson of Council Bluffs, originator
of the fathers club movement. in a talk
at the baby health exhibit at the court
house, Monday evening.
How much time do you spend with
your children?" was a pointed question
he put to the men in the audience. do
you know that boys are in the way of
becoming effeminate. what with being
with mother continually and the rest
of the time in school with women teach
ers? How much OF an idea has the
average young boy Of real. live mann"
he asked. The speaker opined that the
race of boys were fast verging into a
patent leather shoe. pink socks. blue I'M
derwear, checkered trousered. spotted
vest. cuff-on-coat and feathered-hat ag-
gregation.
Ellis U. Graft. superintendent Of
schools, who presided at the meeting had
some pertinent statements to make re-
garding the modern child welfare move
ment, which, he said. was designed to
gather up the loose ends not taken care
of In the average. home.
, Some people resent that the state is
assuming the obligation OF the home.
They say modern welfare work lie en-
croaching ON the domain of the home.
When you tell them the modern home
is not ideal--that It is not doing its part
in bringing up the child. they answer,
We'll. but It should be doing III! It is
the duty OF public institutions and the
school to take up this work IL the choice
lies between having the work done in
this manner or not having 1t done at all. +"

The national guard at least has an
opportunity in the mobilization now
in progress to demonstrate the pos
session of more military efficiency
that it's critics in the recent prepared
ness debates would concede to it.
Criticism of the organized militia Of
the states has been severe, espe-
eially by those who had become con-
vinced of the need of universal COM
pulsory military service. The feder-
alization of the national guard under
the terms of the new federal law
would not have taken place until
after July 1, but congress is evidently
determined to make the act take eff
feet Immediately. The liberalization
provided for is not so complete as
could be desired, but it will give the
federal government a degree of con-
troll it never had before One feature
of the mobilization already in evil
dence is the rush Of men to enlist;
the regiments in this state seem to
| find it easy all of a sudden to recruit
their full war strength. The promise
of real service and trouble" is what
always makes recruiting easy.
