MILITARY MARCHING.
The Pace Varies With the Quality an

The Pace Varies Win the Quality and
Size Ct the Command
The Arm, Drill Beck tells that
trained and hardened infantry can
cover from twenty to twenty-five miles
day when in small bodies. AS the
size OF the command increases the dis
lance covered becomes less, as the rate
Is lowered and time is needed to get all
the units into and out of camp.
With a regiment or less of average
troops-regulars- marching over aver
age roads the rate should be from two
and three-quarters to three miles an
hour, Large bodies will travel from
two to two and half miles an hour,
while division cannot be expected to
accomplish more than twelve and one
half miles day.
or course all these figures will vary
with different conditions of roads and
weather. Unframed troops could not
approach them until hardened. Though
they might do better for day or two,
they could not keep up the steady pace
OF the seasoned regulars for long dis
lance
Marching with full equipment Is hard
physical work and, like every other
form of labor, requires proper period
Of training. The seasoned force will
keep up steady pace with ten minute
halts every hour. fifteen minute stop
being made at the end of the first half
or three-quarters of an hour. Green
troops are apt to struggle badly.-Out

URIC ACID N MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water may
save you from dread
attack.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states Well-knoWn authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water:
Rheumatism is direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
junction 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 the uric acid
which keeps accumulatng and circulate
ing through the system, eventually set
fling in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rleu-
matiSm. ..
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon
full III a glass Of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for 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 and
lemon Juice. combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rlleu
matism. Here you have a pleasant.
effervescent lithia water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well.
