Our old friend Rheumatic is having

Of caution from one who knows all
about it may not be amiss.
keep your feet dry; drink plenty of
lemonade, and avoid strong alcoholic
drinks.
If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica,
and you have sharp twinges, gnawing
pain or swollen joints or muscles, YOU
can get rid of all agony in just few
days by taking one-half tcaspoonful Of
Rheuma once a day.

ably, is the reason for the carelessness
with which the coup that cheers is
so often prepared. The making of tea
has become SO much a part Of the daily
routine, and so common the task, that
II is not deemed worthy of any
amount of thought or care. Here are 3
few hints for the wouid-be "perfect
cup of tea y maker.
Keep the tea in an alright tin.
Never use water which has been boil
ing for any considerable time, nor ve'
water which has not reached boiling
point.
Tea should not be allowed to brew
for more than five minutes.
Rinse out the teapot with hot waite
and drain well before putting in tn,
leaves.

better than metal one.
Do not buy an inferior tea and eX
pect the best results.
