REPORT MANY CASES
OF RHEUMATISM NOW
Says we must keep feet dry; avoic
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 is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t 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 kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulat-
ing and circulating through the sys-
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 Jad 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 Riding the blood
Of these impurities.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless
and Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with hthia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands Of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent Whitewater drink
which overcomes uric acid and is
penehcta1 to your kidneys as well.

OLD ouTFtELDER
CHARMED COURT
Jack Buckley, Claiming to Have Saved
Andover Mill, Scores With Judge
and Gets Loan and Freedom.

The Putnam city court had a most
unusual session Monday morning due
to the appearance Of Jack Buckley,
now 56, former outaelder on most of
the National league baseball clubs of
years ago, lastly with Connie Mack
and his Philadelphia aggregafion.
When it became known that Buckley
was an old time baseball player, the
Judge, prosecutor and olerk became
interested in listening to his story of
the old days and when they found he
was broke agreed to share and share
alike in paying the prisoners fare TO
Willimantic. The case of intoxica-
ton against him was dismissed
Buckley claimed to have been work
ing in mill outside Willimantic. He
told the court that in the early hours
of Friday morning the mill caught fire
and he, with several others, worked
at the fire and succeeded in saving
one mill. The owner was so jubilan,
at saving the mill that he took the
men to WiIlimantic where he wine6

drank too much, got confused anC
took the wrong train, arriving in Put

gramme was given by the pupils. as

them being French. Itadians, Greeks,
Swedes, Russians, Poles; the Italians

Resume Business April IS.

business April Is. This announcement

an event that will mean much to Put
nam.

ceived as yet, but will be when the

two and three-quarter million dollars.
Much of this amount is represented in

market has improved considerably
