While the government is striking at
the newspapers with one hand, it is beg
ging of them with the other. Every
EDITORS mail box is stuffed daily with
appeals from governmental agencies,
state and national, for the publication
of copy" of a patriotic or similar ma
ture, and along with it comes the daily
threat from Washington that newspa-
pers postage rates are to be raised or a
five per cent tax placed on newspaper
advertising. To finance the war, in
other words, the government would
curtail the dissemination of news con-
corning that war, for with every added
burden the newspaper will become less
and less efficient as an agency for Patri
otto service. Such measures as are pro-
posed at Washington will spell the doom
of many small papers whose usefulness

Congress, entitled to change its mind,
has happily surprised US by finally
"authorzing" the President, without
"directing" hi to raise volunteer
forces which Col, Roosevelt desires to
take to France. In view of the sus-
picion that the Roosevelt offer is not
altogether pleasing to the White House
or to the War Department there may
still be some doubt that the Colonels
army will be recognized, but if it is not
there is certain to be a wave of popular
protest that Mr.. Wilson should be
ready to meet with some more plausible
explanation than we are able to see.

MILK SUBSTITUTE FOR CALF

Nothing is better than milk on which

too expensive as Il calf feed. The fol-

meal, az pounds fine blood meal, one
half pound salt. Total cost, three cents
Il pound.
Prepare by adding one-half pound
of meal to two quarts of boiling water
for each feed. At each feeding moisten
the meal first with little cold water
to prevent 1t forming Jumps and then
pour on the boiling water, and stir
well. When this is cooled down to
the temperature of milk fresh drawn
from the COW it is ready to feed.
1t is better to let the calf have whole
milk for about Il week, then gradually
introduce little of the milk substi-

you can cut out the milk entirely,
As soon as the calf will eat let 1t
have hay and little of the meal dry,
together with fresh water. Always
have the calf meal mixture milk
warm when fed. Have the buckets
clean and do not overfeed. A young

Joseph H Choate's sudden death at

Joseph H Choates sudden death at
his home in New York Monday night
was just such closing of his career as
the distinguished Choate would have
chosen. He was the man who, as
ambassador to England during the
Mckinley administration, did so much
to cement the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, and the recent entertainment
of the British war commission in New
York gave him an opportunity to come
back" after some years in virtual re-
tirement, with his old-time brilliancy
as one of the speakers at the dinner to
the Allied commissioners last Friday
night. He took vigorous part in ar
engagements for the entertainment of
the British and French visitors, sur
prising his friends with his sudden
strength, but he over-taxed himself,
his heart failing him, in the service of
his country.

Why rheumatism Comes
) With Cold Weather |!
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 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
McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1917-02-02

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, q pint
morning and night, and take Anurio
three or four times q day. This An.
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. 1t dis
solves the uric acid In the system
and carries it outward. I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, govt
and many Of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ADV.
