WHY RHEUMATISM COMES
WITH COLD WEATHER

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof Alex. Haig of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of
rheumatism. Every one has recogniz
ed the difference in the appearance of
their water as soon as it gets cold;
there is often a copiOus sediment Of
"brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys-
TEN, which, in turn, cause rheumatism
or gout, or creaky joints, swollen fin
gers, or painful joints. For one rea-
son the skin does not throw off the
uric acid, by proruse 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 as much water in cold
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. ].

Not far away
Where they have ham and eggs

When they bring the jewels out,
How things have turned about

When they serve those tempting

Who's got job to give a man
With whiskers on his face?
He thought he had a good job cincheC
But now he wants a place,
He has a large and open face
And he's some talker, too;
But, given certain states of things,
He can't tell what he'd do.

TRUSS OPPOSITION
 ONLY VOICE HEARD
 AGAINST TAX LAW
tConinued from Page Five)

CT Truss, means that inspector by merely looking at the outside of bot tie can tell that it is whisky
 City Attorney Ullman read his re- port, which covered 10 manuscript pages and in which he stated that the state and United States government had expressly given the city of Bir mingham the necessary power to col lect such a tax. His opinion refuted the argument presented in the letter of Fred M. Jackson, R. M Goodall and Walter l. Sessions, protesting against the passage of the liquor inspection or dinance.
 After MT. Ullman had concluded Com missioner Ward said that 'the ordi- nance would come for a vote on next Tuesday. It will pass by vote of to 1.
 Already the comptroller's department of the city is making preparations for the collection of the liquor ordinance. Inspection stamps are being designed and the proper bookkeeping is being prepared.
 About 1900 packages of liquor are being received in Birmingham daily which means about 500 gallons of whisky a day. If these shipments are kept up under the inspection law it will mean a revenue of about $500 or $500 a day. The expenses of collec- tion, however, are expected to be heavy
 It was stated last night that a chief inspector will be appointed immediately after the passage of the law at an an nual salary of $500 and 25 additional inspectors at a salary of 5000 each a year.
 There are on record at the city nall at the present time over 200 applica- tions for the office of chief inspector. The rest of the population of Birming- ham is expected to apply between now all next Tuesday.

Senator Frank S. White was thoroughly pleased with the press. 'Of course I am gratified that the compress is such a success" he said, but the thing I like
 best is that I have been thoroughly con- Vinced that the general use of this ma chine will enable the producer of cotton to get more for his staple. It will cut down the necessary charges which have
 to be made in getting the cotton from
 the farm to the mills, and this money
 should go to the producer
 W. D. Nesbit, who has been interested
 in the perfection of this compress for
 the pact five years was delighted that the
 machine was at last demonstrated sue
 cess. 'I have been interested in the
 effort to perfect this press for some years
 and this exhibition here today removes
 any doubt whcA might have been raised as to the practicablity of this machine" he said. Tt means much to the men in the cotton business and to the mon who produce the cotton. It will in due tune enable the consumer to buy goods cheaper than he now pays

ADVANTAGE IN LOADING

l. w. IAouZer, general agent Of the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic rail road, said: q was greatly impressed with this compress. It was a revela- tion to me The ease with which those negroes put 100 bales in an ordinary 36-foot railroad car, which is 50 per cent more than can be put in when the bales are pressed in the old way, demonstrated to me the real signifi- canoe of this matter. It was further demonstrated that by double tiering this cotton about 150 bales can be placed in an ordinary car against 60, or few more than that of the old bales
 ''The steamship companies operating out of Mobile, where bales of this kind have been shown to the officials of the transatlantic lines, have already offered large reductions in freight rates per bale. Nothing has yet been done about freight rates and I can make no statement regarding that phase of the situation. However, since about two-thirds of the cotton of this country is exported the saving in steamship rates. which can already be secured, will run into vast sums an nually."
 H. K Milner, president of the Standard Compress and Warehouse company which owns the new congresses, was highly pleased at the showing made dur ing the demonstrat tion ''Of course I am highly pleased. The visitors here today have indorsed every claim which has been made for this wonderful machine and the perfect showing made at the ex- hibition was highly gratifying. The com press did considerably better than we had advertised, showing that our claims were very conservative I think it vii revolutioniZe the cotton business in this country One of the great troubles in the past has been that there was such a large part of the price finally obtained for cot ton which had to be paid out in freight warehouse, overhead and other charges
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-05
ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN

The power for the presses is de- rived from an electrically driven en- zine. this being the only compress in the world driven by electricity. How ever, these presses can be operated in exactly the same manner by steam gas, gasoline or oil. The plant of the same kind now being erected in Mo- bile is operated by steam. Other plants are being erected at the municipa! docks at Jacksonville, Fla, and at New Orleans, one to be run by steam and another by electricity Negotiations are on for the erection of them at many other points in the south, especially at the large cotton centers and at the sea- ports, where most of the cotton for export is pressed
 The success with which the compress was operated yesterday was a revela- tion to the compress and cotton men, a s well as to the railroad officials and others present. Maj. L. c. Haskell of Atlanta, president of the Atlantic Compress company, was enthusiastic in his praise of the machine. q consider this the most important development for the cotton trade in the past 50 years" he said. When one stops to consider that it simply enables 50 per cent more cotton to be shipped in a railroad car than heretofore or the same increase in shipping by steamers, some idea of the real money saving for the future can be gained. In every respect the press is success. It gives a smaller and heater. package and cuts down much of the loss from shipping. The press was most successfully oper- ated today by a small force of mex perienced negro laborers, without any assistance from white men. I consider this compress a most important matter for the entire south"

BURT COMMENTS

=
 N. H. Burt of Gadsden, vice president of the North Alabama Warehouse and Compress company which operates the new press, said: q am highly pleased with the showing made today. The compress is a great success and I can not see any reason why it should not be adopted all over the country The reasons why this means saving of much money to the people of the south are those who saw the demonstrat tion to- day"
 B. M. Brasfield, representing Bash insky x Co.,, cotton exporters, said :: The real significance of this import ant development in the handling of cot ton for storing and shipping is cas- fly seen by one who is in the business Under present conditions, the saving of steamship charges from the gulf ports to Liverpool, amounting to more than $2.25 Der bale, will mean everything to one who Is an exporter or who has cotton compressed in this shape for sale. Even under conditions of ship ping by water, if the saving should amount to no more than 30 cents per bale it is an item of the very great est importance. Our firm ships on an average to European countries about 16O,000 bales of cotton annually. If the saving amounted to no more than 30 cents per bale, it would be $4S000 per year. When it is considered that cot ton is frequently handled on very narrow margin of profit, 30 cents per bale looms Up as telling item. The compress is a perfect success and I look for it to have an important bear ing on the matter of storing and ship ping cotton in the future It means money to the people of the south"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-05

and the entire opera ton of opening the presses. putting in the bale, closing and locking the doors pressing and opening, as well as placn on the ties and bind ing the smaller bale is done in less than one minute on an average. frequently in 45 seconds. In running 100 bale lots, the density of the bales is reduced on an average of S3 pounds per cubic foot, the total number of cubic feet in each bale being an average of 15. All the bales are, when compressed, 52 inches long, 24 inches wide, and from 20 to g inches deep.
 RETAINS RESILIENCY
 One of the peculiar advantages of the press is the fact that despite the small size into which the bale is pressed, the resiliency of the cotton is not injured as is the case in the old congresses. It was shown when bale was opened to- day that the full life Of the cotton was retained and the bale, when released from the pressure would show a considerable tendency to spring back to it's original shape.
 The man who originated the idea from which this compress was nnally per- fected as well as the man who succeeded in adapting these ideas to the demands of engineering science had never seen a bale of cotton. The originator of the idea which was later acquired by Messrs. Nesbit and Miner was G. T. Luce of Connecticut He worked on the scheme for many years, but due to his lack of engineering knowledge and skill was never able to make a marketable ma chine
 Later the plans were purchased by these Birmingham men, about five years ago. The perfect press exhibited yester- day was the result of work during the past five years by J D. Rowley of New York, the designer and constructor of a number of ships in the American navy, and for many years connected with the Cramp shipyards. For many years ef- forts have been made to perfect a sat isfactory compress which would reduce the size of cotton bales without injuring the staple, and it is estimated that at least 900 has been spent in various efforts to build and market these ma chimes. Mir. Rowley has been engaged on the work for Mr, Milner and MT. Nesbit for about five years before suc- crowned eOffrts
