URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water may save
you from dread attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known author
ity. 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 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 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 table,
spoonful in a glass OF water and drink
before breakfast each morning for q
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 lithias
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, efferyescent Whitewater drink
which helps overcome uric acid, and
is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

VETERAN VIOLIN MAKER
ONCE WORKED HERE
Death of William L. Peters, 80, at
Hartford Hospital.

William L. Peters, veteran violin
maker and repairer, who at one time
was located in this city for a few years
and had his place in the Central builds
urday morning Of grip and other COM
piicaticns. He had been i'll about a
week.
He had been located in Hartford
since 1901, going there from Norwich.
Mr.. Peters was born in Douglas,
Mass, Oct. 10, 1885. AS a young man
he had wide experience in furniture
making and other woodworking lines,
which proved a valuable training for
the cunning workmanship he later dis
played in his sympathetic repairing
and building Of violins.
In Oxford, Mass, As years ago Mr..
Peters began the making of violins.
He worked first on the Guaranarius
model, and among his earliest instru-
ments were several of such merit that
he was encouraged to strive for greater
achievement. He soon removed to
Worcester and continued at odd hours
to work on violins, meanwhile being
employed as an instructor in wood
finishing at the Worcester Polytechnic
institute. He finally decided to devote
all his time to violin making. This
was the beginning Of his life work.
and so rapidly did his violins grow in
favor that within a few years they
were purchased and highly commended
by leading American players.
In 1886 he established himself as
an Independent violin maker. The first
violin made by him under his new
plan was a copy of one of the smaller
Nicolaus Amatfs and which he named
Camilla Urso,' after the famous play
er by that name.
To him was paid a high compliment
by Henry Souke of Boston, a promi-
nent critic, who made a thorough ex-
animation of the playing qualities of
IL consecutively made Peters violins
and pronounced them the best and
most even lot he had seen or any
make.
In 1901 Mr.. Peters went to Hartford
from this city and speedily justified the
fame which preceded him. Violinists
of Hartford and vicinity gave him
their patronage and he had long been
highly esteemed by them; many play
ers would let no one else perform par
ticular work on their favorite instru-
ments.
The Peters violins show the care of
a master hand in their beautiful model
ing, scrolls and colorings. In tone ef-
feet Mr.. Peters was an expert, and his
violins were patiently wrought out by
hand with infinite care. In repair work
he was equally slxilful.
Mr. Peters lived at No. 2S4 Asylum
street. He leaves a daughter, Mrs.
William D. Smith, of Maple Hill, New
Britain, and two brothers. James
Peters of Douglas, Mass. and George
Peters of East Brookfield. Mass.

New Haven eight years, and during
that time have been prominently iden-
tthed with Calvary church Mr.. Mil
Ter is a deacon of the church and has
been a most active member of the

tivities of the church, and in 1909
formed Philathea class No. q of the

spirit since that time. The class be-
gan with seven members and now has
forty-seven.
The reception had been arranged by
the Mems class and Philathea No. 2,
and at the close of the pleasant ev-
ening's programme Mrs. Miller was
presented by Miss e. Louise Holt, in
basket of daffodils and a Philathea
spoon; and w. d. Walker, a former
president Of the Mems class, in behalf
Of that organization, presented Mr..
hlller With handsome leather travel
ing bag. Mr.. and Mrs. Miller both
responded, expressing their thanks for
the kindness shown them and their re-
greet at leaving the Calvary church.
During the early part Of the even
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Miller received the
guests, and later there was a most en-
joyable programme at which Professor

Minnie Mills. the gifted young
soprano. One of the songs was Twi-
light, by Walter Buel Cowles, of the
Yale School Of Music. and Mr. Cowles

cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sharnpoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls viii make an abundance Of
rich. creamy lather and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily. and removes every
particle OF dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and
silky. bright, fuzzy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

Paid the Highest Inheritance Taxes in
Connecticut During Year-Totai Tax
Brings $4,000.

The inheritance tax brought the state
$500 ,2s3.27 in the year ended Sept 80,

1Q1 Hartford estates, and the average
payment was 1855. The average for
the state as a whole was 1857.
Some idea Of the size Of the estates
during the year may be gained from
the fact that. in only two cases, did
the tax go above $50, 900 and in no case
as high as 100000, that only eight
estates paid taxes in excess of SIS, 900
and only 20 in excess of 5000. Incl
dentally, the smallest was IS cents
The largest tax was that on the
estate of Norman B. Ream. of Thomp-
son. the amount having been $S3.-
496.40, and the next largest on the
estate OF Edwin Miner of Plainheld.
$56,54S.45. The six others above $685.

THIS

Editor Tidings: As one who likes
to see fair play, l would humBly sug-
gest that it might he no more than
justice to debar from the joys of
Lithia park all those who signed
the Greer recall petition, as it is a
well known fact that without Mr..
Greer We would never have had
Lithia iark nor the fountains in it..
To he sure, we all contributed with
our hard-earned shekels, by the way
OF taxes, to the cost Of it all, but one
man-Greer-planned and carried
out, aided by few faithful ones, over
disbursements and obstacles to a
successful finish this tremendous en-
terprise. All this in spite of the ma
licious and determined efforts of a
few to block every step of the way.
Now, as it would appear to man
up a tree, that those citizens who
saw fit to sign the recall petition
do not appreciate the wonderful beau
ties of the park nor the health-givng
of the waters brought to our
door, why should they wish to en-
joy the things they decry? l no.
tee in looking over the list Of names
on the petition that every Sunday
sees many of them in the park parad-
ing up and down with the self-satis-
fled look of the cat that has eaten
the canary.
Friends, why should we be so un-
grateful? Instead of recalling Greer
we should give him a testimonial to
show our appreciation Of his untir-
ng and successful efforts to put Ash
and on the map. FAIR PLAY.
