Why rheumatism Comes
With Gold Weather 2
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. 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 it 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, causes 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, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
Of the double burden. Another reason

Chickens need a constant supply of

In the Kansas Agricultural college.
Running water is best" says Pro-
lessor Llppincott, "but If this is not
available, keep the water fresh. Add
enough permanganate Of potash to

transmission of disease through the
water and will aid also in keeping

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, y pins
morning and night, and take Anurio-
three or four times a day. This An

IN 1910 Jne crop was not as neaVy,
but the yields in many districts were
very large. So large, indeed was the
acreage under cultivation In 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be
all threshede the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
in less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded In the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-prlced,
and one factor in the>decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that have
been less favorable to the production
OF big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
by the government at about 10 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
% bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived that are extremely profitable
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer even
supposing he had only the average OF
10 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per
acre. A large number are receiving

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
As WHEAT PRODUCER
342,000,000 Bushels Wheat In
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
erS Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
"Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the Following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376,O0O,O00 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011, sos, 900 bushels,
yield Of IL bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors In wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1921 900 bushels, or less than
IL bushels per acre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or IS bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342,OOO,OO0 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,000,000 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside Of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production Of North and South
America. Canada is Of course a new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop of the United States was practi-
,cally three times as much Is no dis
enlargement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population Of Canada In approximately
the same area,
: To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness Of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre In the
three provinces Of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity of
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. s. department Of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures Of the
Dominion census bureau:

quirements to include high school
graduates, who, in the opinion of the
examining board, have the qualities a
flyer must have.
Really first class flyers are born, not
made. You would think that man
who had been driving racing auto
mobile would have big advantage
over the fellow who has never han,
died any kind of a machine. But it
doesn't always work out that way.
Some of the men who have learned
to fly quickest never drove an, auto or
handled any other machinery. Other
men who were crack auto drivers new
err seem to get the knack of handling
an airnane. 1t seems that if you are
born to fly, you fly, and if you aren't
there is not much hope for you.
In an auto you have time to think
out what you are going to do, but in
an airplane you have TO do the right
thing first and think about it after
ward. Everything happens so fast,
thinking is impossible. The mechani-
cal flyer who always looks ahead and
tries to be prepared for all emerg-
encies is not the hest flyer, he doesn't
react quickly enough when the uneX-
pected happens.
Flying in itself is the finest sport
in the world and when you combine
aerial gunnery with it and get out
on the front hunting the biggest game
in the world. the German airmen, l
am sure nothing can compare with it..
don't see how any young Ameri-
can with red blood can resist the
temptation to enlist as one OF Uncle
