The grandest thing about it we
have not yet had a chance to dwell
on. While it was the most eloquent,
moving, just and true statement of
the real issue involved in this war
and the real duty of all democracies
to such a struggle, it had not a word
in it that was not in the thought of
the people for whom it was speaking.
1t didn't lead anybody or seek to lead
anybody; it was just voice Of 100,-
100000 people, for that is our sys-
tenn and our style Of democracy. And
having been abroad when this war
started and knowing how some of
the nations were dragged into it, l
declare this one fact to prove and
establish that whatever may be the
faults of our constitution, this is the
most democratic of all governments.
The president waited until he
knew perfectly well he had the full
authority Of the nation. Then he let

cratic faith to which we are pledged,

and not one sacrifice lost!
Because democracy wins now the
1000 years Of battle. The federation

why rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather I!
By VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, N. D.

A close connection exists between
these two - cold weather and rheu-
matism. 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 rheu.
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF their
water as soon as il gets cold there is
often a copious sediment OF brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation OF uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, auses rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, us in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable 10 take care
Of the double burden. Another reason
