Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
uric acid from the blood and cast it
out in the urine; the pores of the skin
are also a means of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and chilly

REBUKE TO THOMP SON
Chicago Turns TOpsy-Turvy in Tues
days City Election.

Chicago, April Am one. of the
most turbulent elections in recent
years. non-partisans turned the politi-
cal machines topsy-turvy here yester-
day and administered a sound rebuke
to Mayor Thompson and the Repub-
lican city hall forces.
Besides electing the city clerk and
city treasurer, the Democrats won
twenty-five seats in the city council.
The Socialists elected two and the Re
publicans the remaining twelve.
Other machines also went into the
ditch. In the refractory river wards
where fights eliminated in the muir
der of a Grogan worker, Independent
Democrats succeeded in electing their
candidate. Bloodshed and arrests
were common occurrences along the
levee thruout the day.
Today is gala day for the Demo
Gratis. Two years ago Thompson was
elected as mayor with a plurality OF
147,477 and the Republicans carried
into office twenty aldermen.
Yesterdays results indicate a complete
reversal.
To a Socialist goes the honor of pill
ing up the highest plurality of any
aldermanic candidate. John c. Ken
nedy, running for reelection, rolled
up more votes than his three oppon-
ents combined. His plurality was
6,157.
"Hinky Dink" Kenna, Democrat
went back from the First ward by a
plurality of 5,315 votes.

state representative that was on the
