RoosEVELT's ATTITUDE
 TOWARD ADMINISTRATION
Attacked in the Senate by Senator
 Reed of Missouri.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Senator Reed of Missouri in a speech in the senate today attacked Colonel Roosevelt for his attitude toward the Wilson admin istration and praised the presidents conduct of foreign affairs during the European war.
 Tt is a happy thing for this coun- try" he said, that neither extremists have been in charge of the govern ment, a happy thing that there has been insistence on American rights and equally fortunate that there has not been some hot-headed important demagogue in the White House who might have been persuaded to plunge this country immediately into war in order to further his own political for tunes.
 Many men are extremely brave who have no opportunity to put their brav- cry to the test. The peaceful banks of Oyster Bay offer the safest place in the world from which to issue a challenge to war"

REPORT MANY CASES
 OF RHEUMATISM NOW
Says we must keep feet dry; avoid 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 !s Eeue- rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of tho 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 tmpurtty. Tn damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kid. r1eyg to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eiirnanRte this uric acid which keeps accunulat. ing and circulating through the sye. tenn, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, sore. ness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces Of lad Salts; put a table. spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus riddinS the blood of these impurities.
 Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lfthia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to Rheumatism.
