MANY CASES OF f.,
RHEUMATISM NOW

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
la 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
blood and cast 1t out in the urine Ths'
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 climb
nate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating throus IN the
system. eventually settling in the joints
and muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.

guess and none of the leaders took

SHOWER OF STARS
MeteOric Display Tonight, Says
Washburn Observer.
Brilliant Meteors Can Be Seen
With Naked Eye.

A meteoric shower of remarkable
proportions, probably can be observed
| tonight, according to Prof. E. C. Pet
TIT, head of the department of astron-
! omy at Washbu-n college Altho it
cannot be stated with certainty, to-
night will probably mark the climax
of the neueorlc display annually OBJ
ServaDIe, during the month of Novem-
Der, according to Professor Petit. Bril-
liant meteors will appear at Ire-
quency of at least two an hour. In
years past at this date more than one
hundred have been seen during the
night.
old inhabitants of Kansas will re-
member the night of November Is,
1878, when the sky toward morning
was illuminated by the pyrotechnics
of scores of meteors. More than 100
were counted in one hour just before
dawn.
The earth, Prof. Petit states. in it's
yearly circle around the sun passes
thru two orbits or belts of meteors,
one in August and one in Novem Der.
The November display is usually the
most noticea BILE and reaches its climax
about the 18th or 18th of the month.
1t is impossible to calculate the extent
of the display. Some years only two
or three an hour may be seen. Another
year the earth may pass thru the eli
max in the daytime. At rare, unexpect-
ed intervals the heavens burst into an
infinite Fourth of July celebration
exceeding the aurora borealis in mag
nificence.
1t is possible that aerolites-irag-
ments of meteors-may fall in Kansas
tonight. So far nothing of the kind
+ has ever happened, but every year, the
passing thru the meteoric orbit is
marked by the fall somewhere of
meteoric particles.
Washburn astronomy students will
! be on hand at the observatory tonight
to catch the display, altho it can be
/ seen perfectly. with the naked eye.
