WHY RHEUMATISM COMES
WITH COLD WEATHER
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.
A close connection exists between
these two--cold weather and rheu-
matism Prof. Alex. Haig, of Lon
don. has the most followers in the
medical profession in the belief that
the presence in the system of uric
acid, or its salts in excess is the real
cause of rheumatism. Every one
has recognized the difference in the
appearance of their water as soon as
it gets cold; there is often copious
sediment of .brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys-
TEN, which, in turn, cause rheuma-
tism or govt, creaky joints, swollen
fingers, or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating,
as in the hot weather, and the kid
neys are unable to take care of the
double burden. Another reason is
that people do not drink as much wa
ter in cold weather as in summer,
which helps TO flush the kidneys.
Again, they eat more meat in cold
weather, and some people are SO
susceptible that they soon develop
rheumatism after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously of hot water, say, a
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric three or four times day.
This Anuric comes in tablet form and
can be had at almost any drug store.
1t dissolves the uric acid in the sys-
tenn and carries it outward. | would
advise everyone to take Anuric oc-
casionally, and continue for three or
four weeks, and in that way avoid
rheumatism, govt and many of the
painful disorders due to uric acid in
the system.

Many People in This
Strange City Never
Saw the Light of Day

In Galicia there is one of the most
remarkable underground cities In the
world. 1t has population of over
thousand men, women and children,
most of whom have never seen the
light OF day.
1t is known as the City of the Salt
Mines, and is situated several hundred
feet below the earth's surface Its
being is due to the greatest salt mine
in the world, which, though it has been
mined for many generations, seems in
exhaustible. The city has its town
hall, church, theater. and assembly
room, all made from the crystallized
rock salt. 1t has long, wide streets
and big squares, lighted by electricity
There are numerous instances Of
families in this underground city
where not single individual in three
or four generations has seen the sun.

gested the friend, its just habit
of denying children's requests because
so many of them are foolish and I'M
reasonable?" The mother admitted
that probably 1t was.
Although we hate the idea of bull
doing the young children, we get the
habit of saying mo" before consider
ing the merits of the request. Not
withstanding our chagrin on being
nagged again and again into making
concessions to our children, we get
the habit of saying mo" However
much we may regret it the moment
after, we obey that impulse and still
say NO"
Again and again, in your intercourse
with children, you will find it advis-
able and necessary to say NO Well
then, say it; and stick to it! The
great problem Is to say mo" nine
times and then be still able to say
YES" If need be, the tenth time. In
other words, we must avoid getting the
habit of giving children any stereo-
typed answer. Every request and
every question must be met with the
freshness of new situation and treat
ed on it's merits. Only thus can we
expect to retain the children's conf
dence in our judgment and in our
reasonableness.

gated by large steamers for half it's
length, and is connected with Dublin
by means of the Grand and Royal
canals.
Although coal is found in most of the
80 counties into which the island is
divided, and there is considerable
iron ore, mining is not an important
industry. Gold was being mined in
a modest way in County Wicklow at
the time of the rebellion of 1898, but
the works were destroyed and the
source Of the metal has never been
re-discovered.
Industries of the Island.
Agriculture and stock raising are
the chief occupations of the inhabi-
tants. At one time the wooden manu-
features of the island were formid-
able rivals of English factories, but
hostile legislation gave the industry
check from which it has never recov-
cred. AS the Irish have raised fax
for centuries the manufacture of linen
early became one of the important
industries of the country. Irish
whisky Is an important article of ex-
port and one of the largest breweries
in the world is located at Dublin. The
islands production of beer is three
and half million barrels annually.
Shipbuilding in the great yards at
Belfast Is one of the most widely
known Of Irish activities, and the deep
sea and coast fisheries afford live
lihood for many thousands.
Thanks to the temperate influence
of the west winds from the Atlantic,
the Thermometer rarely reaches freez-
ing point in winter, while the aver
age for summer day Is go degrees.
At Toor Head on the north the dis
lance to Scotland (Mull Of Cantiri)
is only 1917 miles. The Giants Cause
way, short distance to the east Of
this point, is the outcropping basaltic
formation which in a former age
joined the two islands.

TINE historical and political i'm
portance of Ireland has Gre
ated in the minds of many
Americans an exaggerated idea
OF the islands physical proportions
and the density of it's population, two
vital factors in England's task of sup
pressing the rebellion which had its
inception in the capital and largest
city, Dublin. According to the Ma
tional Geographic society's bulletin
the whole of Ireland embraces an
area slightly less than the state of
Maine, but with population almost
six times as dense. In comparison
with the governing country, it is
three-fifths as large as England and
Wales, with one-ninth the population.
The island Is one of the very few
sections of the civilized world where
the population has shown a marked
decrease during the last century. The
first census of the island, taken in
1921, recorded population almost
so per cent larger than at the pres
emit time, while the census of 1S41
showed the high-water mark of more
than eight millions, nearly twice the
present population of 4,375,000. This
remarkable decrease, due largely to
emigration, began after the famine
brought about by the destructive dis
ease which attacked the potato crops
Of 1845. This calamity resulted in
the withdrawal of more than a mil
lion acres from cultivation within two
years. Incidentally the potato, which
has played such an important role in
the life of Ireland during the last 300
years, is not indigenous to the island,
but was one of the food gold mines
discovered by the Spaniards In their
conquest of Peru. The country is d.
rectly indebted to Sir Walter Raleigh

BIRDS IN CEMETERIES
AUDUBON SOCIETIES INTEREST.
ED IN BIG PROJECT.
Idea Is to Have Burial Grounds Con-
verted Into Sanctuarles Where
Feathered Friends Of Human
lily May Find Refuge.

More than a million acres OF land
will be added to the bird reservations
in the United States IL the National
Association of Audubon societies, with
headquarters in New York, succeeds
in its campaign to have all the ceme-
teries OF the country converted into
bird sanctuaries. The plan includes
not only the forty-eight burial grounds
of New York city, but all cemeteries
down to the lonely graveyard of the
smallest hamlet.
while the average visitor to GENE
teries is frequently impressed with
the song of BIRDS" said T. Gilbert
Pearson, secretary of the association,
who has brought forward this plan,
this is due rather to the usual quiet
and perhaps to the receptive mood OF
the person. The number of birds Is
really small compared to what 1t
would be were but little effort made.
Much has been done to drive birds
away from cemeteries. Frequently,
there is not a yard OF underbrush
where a thrasher or vireo can build
its nest. There are no pools or other
means for the birds to Stake their
thirst. Tree surgery has closed the
cavities whence titmouse, wren or
bluebird formerly issued to console
the lonely visitor. Fruit-bearing trees
have been removed and there is an
absence of berry-bearing shrubs, such
as birds enjoy"
The association, in addition to the
above needs, is urging the exclusion
of gunners and cats from the ceme-
teries, the latter through the use of
catproof fences. The placing of bird
boxes in trees is recommended, as
well as the construction of fountains
or other drinking places for the birds.
Food in the way Of growing blackber-
ries, strawberries or mulberries Is sug-
gested, while many cemeteries are
said to nave ample waste space where
buckwheat and other small grain
could be planted without detracting
from the beauty Of the landscape. The
supplying of food in other ways as
well as the provisions for nest-build-
ing are among other suggestions con-
tanned in a circular just issued by the
association which, Mr.. Pearson says,
he will mail to all persons interested
in having their city cemetery con-
verted into bird sanctuary. In In
dianapolis thousands of birds find ref
uge in Crown Hill cemetery and birds
of some varieties which generally go
South in the fall spend the winter
there.

Mountains, Boys and Lakes.
Ireland lies on the western rim of
what was once part of Continental
Europe. It has numerous mountains,
the highest being the McGillicuddy
Reeks GAIA feet), in the Killarney
region, but there is no mountain chain
or elevated backbone" There is a
more or less well-defined central
plain, however, the distinguishing fea-
ture of which is it's bogs-the black
bog producing the famous peat fuel,
differentiated from the brown bogs
of the mountains. If the whole island
were brought to a mean level it
would rise 400 feet above the sea.
The lakes, or loughs, of Ireland are
among its most widely appreciated
physical characteristics, their scenic
beauty being the inspiration of poets,
painters and musicians. Nor have the
Irish rivers been overlooked in ap-
praisals of the islands beauties. The
Shannon, which flows for $50 miles
from the county of Cavan in the
northwest to the Atlantic in the
southwest, is the longest water course

400 pounds. was trapped and killed on
the edge of the city limits near Cowen
park, according to dispatch from Se-
attic, and about one and a half miles
from the university.
The downfall Of bruin was brought
about by two unknown men, who sold
the bear while it was in the trap to
A. Lampaert, butcher Of Redmond,
for $40. According to the men who
trappedsthe animal, it had established
its headquarters on the hill near the
Cowen Park rayine, and had appar-
emily decided to spend the winter
there.

cros.bred Yaks to Feed AIaskans.

No breed of dairy or beef cattle
has as yet been found hardy enough
to stand the winters In the interior
Of Alaska without excessive expense
for food and protection against cold.
As a result milk sells for so cents a
quart and the beef that is consumed
in the country consists almost wholly
of cold storage meat brought from the
outside. The Journal of Heredity says
that the Alaska Experiment station
has undertaken to relieve this situa-
ton by crossing the hardy Scotch
Galloway cattle with the yak, an Asiat-
ic OK much used by Mongolians,, Tibet
ans, etc., for milk and meat as well
as work.
The yak pastures through the win
ter under the open sky in Siberia and
obtains feed from last years grass dug
from under the snow. Crosses of the
yak with domestic cattle are common
In Asia and highly successful.
