rheumatism is caused by uric octd
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. IT is the func-
ton OF the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast II out in the
urine: the pores of the skin are also
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 20 eliminate this uric acid, which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system. eventually settling
in the joints and muscles, causing stiff
ness soreness and pain called rheumn-
tiSm.
At the first twingc OF rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of lad Salts: put 4 Tablespoons
ful in 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 nor

Here is where l tell you where you can
go. in three words. You'll find it hotter
even than Philadelphia in this last heated
spell.
"What's the idea? demanded the fore
man. What are you bawling me out
for?'
"See that hair?' retorted the return
ing prodiga, pointing to a thatch that
was black and glossy and still thick.
Look close! It's dyed! Do you get it,
Dyed! came here for job, and you
turned me down because it was gray;
and went out and got it dyed, and you
hired me! I've been storing it up to tell
you. I'm leaving, see? I'm going back
to New York, to the shop came from,
and I'm going to let this hair fade out
gray; it's good enough for me! And you
stay here and see if you can grow some
thing gray under yours. Will you?"
Researches in realms of work where
concentration of thought and effort yield
promotion point unvaryingly to a stern
requirement of to-day. They carry alike
a reinsurance and warning.
For the man of forty and over, well
grounded in his work and with his pow
ers fused by years of preparation, there is
no dead line
For the vacillating weather-cock of

superficial. half-hearted seeker after "a
fender for the exigencies of the moment
there is dead line. But it is not new
nor a sudden handicap. He has carried
it with him from the beginning. AS the
years pass, and the fare of youth dies, it
is there for all men to see-and the issue
is hopelessness.
"There is much talk of the dead line ;

heart.
A whimsical smile crossed face of
quiet strength-strength built by wise
and busy years.
Tradition, grant you, maintains the
industrial dead line in some quarters,
he pursued. but it is fading And a
resourceful man can beat it, will give
you an illustration.

list who had grown gray in the service of
that establishment. He was past sixty.
And not till then had he shown any in
clination for wanderlust.
"Then welled within him belated
spirit of adventure. He decided that he
wanted to go to Philadelphia.
He resigned his job, despite vigorous
protests; for he was one of the most
valued machinists in that plant, which
employed hundreds of skilled men.
He adventured to Philadelphia. After
a couple of days of sight-seeing-he said
afterward that it didn't take long to do ;
Philadelphia felt impelled to hunt
another job. You see, he had acquired
the habit of work, which is as great a
nuisance as that of idleness.

Beating the Dead Line

HE applied at three big establishments
in turn. At each he was refused.
In each case the man who denied him
glanced covert4y at his gray hair
He went back to his lodgings and
thought it over. At sudden inspira-
ton he grinned. He visited a hair dyers,
and emerged with his gray locks as black
as jet.
Returning to the shop where he had
suffered his first turn-down, he was I'M
recognized and was promptly engaged
He was there for year. During that
time his wages were raised twice and he
was accounted one of the best men in
the place.
"One morning he received a letter.
His old boss, back in New York, wanted
him to come back at better money than
he had ever received. We've naturally
