KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
TELLS RHEUMATISM SUFFERS
TO EAT LESS MEAT AND TAKE
SALTS.

Rheumatism is easier TO avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authori-
ty. We are advised to dress warmly;
keep the feet dry; avoid exposure;
eat less meat, but drink plenty of
good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
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 kidneys to do dcIble
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
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 Jad 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 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
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have pleas
ant, effervescent Whitewater drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.

CAMP WARD ROLL
CALL IMPRESSIVE
AND INTERESTING
TRIBUTE IS PAID THOSE VET
ERANS WHO HAVE DEPARTED
LIFE DURING THE PAST YEAR
IN PENSACOLA.

A very large and most enthusiastic
meeting of Camp Ward, u. d. c.,
was held yesterday afternoon, begin
ming at 8 o'clock in the Bivouac in
the Thiesen building, nearly fifty of
the ninety odd members being present.
The roll call of the entire camp was
the feature of the meeting and as the
name of each of those comrades who
had passed away during the year was
reached some living member would
rise in his place, and answering to
the name would pay tribute to the
life and services of him who had been
called before. This beautiful service
occurs at the first meeting in each
year.
Hon. John S. Beard, himself an
ardent Son of Confederate Veterans,
made an important address taking
for his theme the constitutional right
of the state of the union to exercise
the right to govern and regulate their
own local affairs. His talk was most
interesting and was highly appreciat-
ed.
The adjutant, who represented the
camp at the state reunion in 0cala,
made a brief report, in which he re-
counted a part Of an address delivered
there, in which they were told of the
earlier efforts to pass the first pension
laws, and when only those who were
blowing their fields on wooden leg,
or trying to do mechanical work with
one arm, were to be the recipients of
the bounty of the state, but that the
movement had grown, through the
continued efforts of few prosperous
veterans, and of the Sons of Veterans,
but chiefly by the persistent work
of the noble Daughters of the Con-
federacy, who were at the state CAPT
tai during every session of the legis-
lature, working for the welfare of
those whom they so loved to serve.
The adjutant stated that the surplus
fund to the credit of the Confederate
Veterans in the state treasury, in
amounting in population
and prosperity, and the number of
veterans was so rapidly decreasing, |
the time was near when every veteran |
should receive a substantial increase

thirty dollars each month. He APP
pealed to the veterans to rally to the
support of their camps, so that their
could be seen and recog-
nized.
The new officers were installed by
Chaplain Thompson, whose eloquent
remarks made the ceremony a most
one.
A good delegation from the local
chapter Of the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy graced the occasion with
their delightful presence, and before !
Mrs. Dan Sheppard ten

veterans to attend a function to be |
given them, by their chapter, on jan

day of General Lee.
