HOW Uric Acid Causes G0al. Rheumatism. Lunbag0
LII. SMITH. MD

It was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Gerod, in lS4S, that the blood of
gouty patients contained uric acid in an
excessively large amount, that much
attention was paid to this subject.
Later scientific men learned that in
gout, also rheumatism, the kidneys do
not work properly to throw off the uric
acid poison; consequently uric acid crys-
tails are deposited in and about the Joints.

"Strongheart" at Linden.

The 1917 graduates Of the local high
school presented their play Strong
heart" at Linden last Friday evening.
It so happened that the weather was
quite inclement and as consequence
the attendance was meagre. Neverthe-
less our boys and girls report a break

hospitality on the part Of the Linden
people, so characteristic Of them.
Those who did atterd the play were
well compensated TO-. their time and
money thus spent. Such is their volun-
tary verdict.
The play as written is one of interest
and merit and when presented by such
talent as this years class possesses
easily the peer Of any year. those who
heard it nave been served with treat.

Madison, Wis.

Last Saturday evening at 6:l0 O clock
an injunction was served on Mayor
Brown, City Clerk Jackson and the eight
present aldermen of our city enjoining
and restraining them from destroying
or ordering destroyed any ballots used
in the city of Mineral Point on election
day the Sd of April last, in connection

er any person in the city shall be licensed
to deal or traffic in Intoxicating liquors,
and also restraining them from issuing
or delivering any license in the city for

age until further action of the court.
The State of Wisconsin, ex rel Walter
G. Owen, Attorney, appears as plaintiff
and the order was issued by County
Court Judge jerks. Twenty days is
the limit set for an answer.
As is quite well remembered the vote
on license or no license last April result
ed in wet by two majority without de-
cision on challenged votes, of which
there we're seven or eight, two Of them
being by young men under age.
This injunction has made the matter
one Of special interest throughout the

REVERENCE AND PATRIOTISM.
Unfolded in an Emphatic Manner in
Our City Memorial Day.

The National Sabbath, universally
known as Memorial Day, was not fav,
ored with propitious weather in Minera
Point this year. 1t seemed to have but
one effect however, which was to lessen
the attendance from out of town.
Nevertheless reverence and patriotism
blazed exceedingly bright.
| An elaborate program for outdoor
exercises was arranged, but the down
pour of rain checked that; that's ALL
In the morning, war veterans went by
autos to the four cemeteries and there,
in drenching rain, with loving remem-
brance, decorated the graves of their
dead comrades.
Al p. m, the time set for a grand
parade, the weather was too inclement.
For all that those of our city were out
enmasse, the band rendered patriotic
airs and the fife and drum corps "a new
and praiseworthy organization stirred
patriotism as nothing can as it marched
down and up High street at the head of
the local Red Cross brigade.
The large gathering then settled in
the Municipal Theatre, insofar as its
capacity would permit. Hon Calvert
Spensley opened the proceedings with
appropriate remarks, which were fol

the occasion, Grafton by Hon. J.. w.

Would that we could muster words to
do justice to Mr. Murphy's efforts.
They boiled over with earnestness. His
tribute to the country's heroes of the
past, his praise for the Red Cross or

his plea for unyieldng devotion to and
sacrifice for our glorious country and
his portrayal Of the absolute necessity
of every one to put forward firmly the
most loyal foot in way that would re-
self in rendering the most substantial
protection to this land of the free and

dire peril were all in all deeply pathetic
and earnest and highly eloquent.

Patriotism, Plus Grit.

There are American sons not of war
age in most every community who dis
play a grade Of patriotism and de-
termination worthy of special consider
alton. Mineral Point thus far or since
the declaration of war made last April,
can boast Of one or more. among thsm
is Henry Springer, only son of Mr. and
Mrs. c. F. Springer. Not being of age.
Henry was not inhunced by fear Of
draft, but rather by genuine loyalty.
His pleadings with his parents for their
consent were SO urgent, SO sincere, they
yielded. Last week he went to Milwau-
kee for examination, was accepted and
assigned to the marine force, and yes
terday he left here for Port Royal,
South Carolina, and was accompanied
by his cousin, Francis Springer, son of
Albert Springer.
Another Of our young men to be enum-
Grated in this class is Joseph Padon, son
of Mr.. Bart Padon. He, too, is in the
marine force.
That these young men will not fail in
their duty as protectors Of our liberty
everyone who knows them is confident.
We hope for their safety of life and
their return crowned with honor.

Marriage With Surprise Attached.


Occasionally events anticipated termi-
nate tinged with surprise. Such are the
facts associated with the marriage of
Mr.. w. Harold Schubert and Miss Har-
riet Jane Paynter which took place at
the brides home in this city Thursday,
May 81, 1917.
The Tribune knew for some time that
the important event was not far distant,
and why not, the bride being a conscien-
cious and competent employee Of the
Office for over two years? But our cal
culation slipped several cogs. The clos
est of friends of the happy young couple
were found in the same boat.
Mr.. Schubert for the last two years
has had charge of manual training in
our city schools. and all that is said of
him as I man and an instructor is in his
favor. Miss Paynter is daughter of
MIR. ans Mrs. Josiah Paynter She is a
gradua Of our high school, young

THE SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

Another school year in Mineral Point
terminated last Thursday evening with
commencement exercises by the high
school graduates held at the Municipal
Theatre.
As was expected the commodious
building was packed, not with children,
but citizens of maturity. This fact
sutiicies to prove there is a steadfast
interest in local educational affairs, and
from what is seen and heard that inter
est is growing, especially within the
last year. For this Superintendent Rood
must be given the lions share of credit.
OF course the other teachers, the tchool
board, the parents, and the pupils big
and little are to be included, as Mr..
Rood insists, are all eligible to credit,
but the Professor has been the guiding
star, and it is the candid opinion of the
writer that Mineral Point was fortu-
nate in securing his services.
The class of 1917 numbered thirty
three. Their names were published last
week l6 boys, II girls and collective
ly they added distinct credit marks to
the Mineral Point high school. Cuts
or portraits of each one together with
a cut of the faculty are in the city and
we hope to be able to find room for
them in The Tribune next week.
The program of the commencement
exercises was replete with good fea-
lures, every number holding the close
attention of the audience. Miss Flor
ence Ross, salutatory address entitled
Called to Service" and Miss Dorcas
Jacka's valedictory address entitled
advance of Democracy, are worthy
of special compliment. for composition
and delivery. Prof. A. NJ Royce, Pres
ident of the Platteville Normal, who
addressed the class on Golden Oppor
tunities, was pleasing and impressive
to all, and proved himself a talker and
reasoner of much force.

JOIN THE RED CROSS. WHY NOT?

This query is prompted by the fact
that the number Of Red Cross members
marching in the parade Memorial Day
is in the minority, according to the pop
ulation Of the city and surrounding coun-
try. do your Bit" 1t lis noble, self
sacrificing, humane organization, devoid
Of sel6shness, to ameliorate the suffer-
ings OF mankind Of every race and cline.
Remember that our country your coun-
try has a huge undertaking on hand
and that there win be great needs to be
met.
We have yet scarcely a comprehension
Of what the cost Of the war is to be along
nearly every line. Make up your mind
for sacrifice The right to live in free
land under the government created by
the fathers may yet be the great stake
in this war
Mediate seriously. Join the Red
