WHY CHILLY WEATHER
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores arc closed and uric acid remains in
 Blood.

Rheuma tiSm is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub- ject to rehumatiSm should eat less meat, unless as warmly as possible. avoid any undue exposure and, above all drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid [ which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It 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 impuritN. Tn damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating 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 lad Salts; put a tablespoon 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 normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad 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 folk who are subpeCt to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervesCcnt Whitewater drink which ovcrComcs uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

 A Story With Moral.

The case of Henry Zwitlinger and Gustave Silander produced a. Moral, be careful who you call names. This fact was brought out this morning when the accused were arraigned on charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace. The pair were ar- rested at the corner of Main and Myr- tie streets Saturday after midnight by Officers John Carlson and Richardson, where they engaged in a fight that at tracted number of pedestrians. Judge Mangan appeared as counsel for Zwitlinger. Both men pleaded guilty but on advice of counsel Zwit- finger changed his plea on the breach of peace count to not guilty.
 The officers stated that they were near East Main street when they the place Silander was accusing the other man of punching him. Zwit- finger reciprocated, by accusing Silan- der of doing likewise.
 Silander on the witness stand caused several roars of laughter to occur by his manner of giving testi- monN. He said that in company with several friends, he was on his way home when that bum" pointing to Zwitlinger, bumped against mo and called me a blanked, etc. Dutchman. "He punched me in the face and in vited him into the street to see Wheth CT 1 had any rights or not? He is what people call a bum, and don't like this punching business. The Wit ness said that he had never been mixed up in any trouble before and was minding his own business. He called upon Louis Miller who was with him at the time and who was in the spectators gallery to testify for him. Miller compiled with the request, but was somewhat reluctant about doing it. "I have something to say, but I don't want to be called as a Wtness," he said, as he approached the wit ness chair. His story corrObOrated that of Islanders of Zwitlinger being the aggressOr.
 ZWitlnger said he was drunk and did not remember any of the trouble.
