TO give it up while you can. Are you
not paying too big a price for the
pleasures Of sin when you are paying
for them at the cost of your eternal

In one af the southern armies dur
ing the civil war, the discipline was
becoming lax, and the orders were is
sued from headquarters that any SOL
dier who was caught foraging would
be severely dealt with. There was a
careless. thoughtless fellow in one
company who paid no attention to or
ders. Only a few days later he was
caught stealing apples out OF an
orchard. He was tried and convicted,
and the commander decided to make
an example of him. He was sentenced
to be shot. The next morning he was
being taken by two of his comrades
to the place of execution, and he was
going along carclessly eating the ap-
pies that he had stolen. One OF his
guards said to him. How is it. that
in this. almost the last moment OF
your life, you can be indinerently
eating those apples?' He looked up
with a cynical expression and replied,
"Can you not let me alone and let
me eat my apples? l am paying
dearly enough for them" Are you
not paying too dearly for the apples
OF sin, when you are paying for them
at the cost OF eternal life? First OF
all, give your life to Christ. II is the
only right and reasonable course.

WHY Chilly Weather
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores are closed and
uric acid remains
in blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter Of age,
sex, color or rank If not the most
dangerous of human Affections IL is
one of the most painful. These sub
iect to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress 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. II 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 impurity. In damp and chilly.
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidney to do double
work. they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accumulating 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
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys TO
normal action. thus ridding the blood
OF these impurities.
Jad 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 folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant. effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is
