WHY CHILLY WEATHER
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores are closed and uric acid remains
 in blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human aff1ictions 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. It is the function 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 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 eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and cireu- 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 lad 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.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon 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, eRervescent lfthia water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

MosUL's CONTRIBUTION
 TO THE LIcoR1cE TRADE
Willingness of British Merchant to Buy Sweet Root Great Surprise tc Natives.
Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.-The Father of Licorice', just an enterpris- ing British merchant when at home,
 many years ago penetrated to the dreary city of Mosul. a sun-scorched
 community on the Tigris opposite the mounds of storied Nineveh in south
 crn Kurdistan, and astonished the na- tives of the town by a display of
 willingness to buy all the licorice roots that they could gather. The natives
 considered this herb, with its thick tangle of woody roots and its defiance
 of the farmer, only as a pest in their fields, and, so, the Englishman's ec- centric demand caused another scan-
 del in the Near East about the folly
 of the Westerner!" Thus begins a statement just given out by the Ma tionaI Geographic Society at Wash | ington.
 At last, however. the natives hit | upon a satisfactory explanation. They
 talked over the matter among them selves and decided that the English Sovereign liked to chew the sweet roots of their pestiferous weed and,
 therefore, had provided a contingent fund of many millions of dollars so that enough of it might always be on
 hand With this simple discovery, the
 minds of the natives were set at rest,
 and they cheerfully aided the Father of Licorice" to spend all the money
 which he cared upon the licorice weed. Thus were established the foundations of a thriving trade with
 world removed Mosul, transforming 8 | despised product into a source of con- | siderable income.
 "Mosurs export of its sweet roots to l the Western World has been rudely ! broken off by the war, and, mayhap | the natives are more hostile than be- | fore to the plant which, besides clog | ging their fields, they Consider a fav- | ored weakness of the British King. Al any rate, the battle lines have cut off the most important sources of SUD- ply of the popular children's candy sugar, the ever-present ingredient ir | cought medicines, and the wonderful | taste masking element in medicines oi

 "A great part of the licorice supply | lies to the east of the fighting lines | in Asia Minor, in Russia, and ir | Kurdistan. To a very limited extent | it is grown in Louisiana and Califor-
