SPECTATORS TERRIFIED
But Female Forms Catapaulted From
Burning Building Are Models.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-After five wo-
men had been carried by firemen
down ladders to safety from the roof
of burning six-story building in TIE
downtown district here today, hun
dreds of persons watching the blaze
shrieked with horror when as many
more female forms came plunginS
one by one thru the air from the up
per stories of the burning building.
The first struck the ground and '4y
inert while the throng pressed around
but they were dress models made Of
paper, wood and bisque, thrown out
of a millinery establishment by the
firemen in fighting the flames.
The women, employees of an adjoin-
ing hotel, had been forced b. the clos
ing of fire doors to ascend the fire es-
cape to the roof.

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, M. D.
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
Tins. Prof. Alex. Haig, of LONDON naS
the most followers in the medleal pr
fession in the belief that the presence
in the system of uric acid, or It's sdlts
in excess is the real cause of rheuma-
tism. Every one has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF tneil
water as soon as it gets cold: tneIe 10
often a copious sediment OF prlch-
dust"
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys-
tenn, which in turn, cause rheumatism,
or gout, or creaky joints, sWoiieli
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 kidneys are
unable to take care of the double bur
den. Another reason is that people
do not drink az much water In colu
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,
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric three or four times a day. This
Anuric comes in tablet form and can
be had at almost any drug store. 1t
dissolves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism,
gout and many of the painful disorders
due to uric acid in the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally stimu-
lating its action with a pleasant laxa-
tive composed of the May-apple, dried
Juice of aloes, and root of jalap. Sugar

vertisement.
