Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

tBy VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE. MD)
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex Haig of London
has the most followers in the med
ical profession in the belief that the
presence in the system of uric acid,
or its salts in excess. is the real
cause of rheumatism. Every one has
recognized the difference in the ap-
pearance of their water as soon as
il 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, cause rheu-
matism or gout, or creaky joints,
swollen fingers or painful joints. For
one reason the skin does not throw
off the uric acid. by profuse sweat
ing, as in the hot weather, and the
Kidneys are unable to take care of
the double burden. Another reason
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 sus-
4 ceptible that they soon develop
I rheumatism after eating meat
. AT all such times persons should
drink copiously of hot water, say, a
pint morning and night, and take
\ Anuric double strength) three or
\ four times a day. This Anuric comes

UNIVERSAL TRAINING
CALLED j. S. NEED
Judge RalIou Tells Navy League
Military Service Without It
Is Criminal.
FEARS NATIONAL CALAMITY

Universal military training as pre-
requisite to universal military service
in the United States was urged this
morning by Judge Sidney Ballou in an
address before the Navy League in the
Southern bldg.
Military service without military
training is criminal-it is little short
of murder" declared Judge Ballou. "It
is true that we have ultimately won all
of our wars" he added. but it has been
only after humiliating disasters have
fallen upon the unframed armies, re-
cruited at the last minute that we have
sent into the field. The fact that we
have always won our wars has clouded
the general understanding as to our
military prowess We will be compelled
to suffer a national calamity to fully
appreciate the needs of efficient fighting
machines, both on sea and on land. The
obtaining of such adequate protectors
can only be accomplished by an up
roofing of our national traditions"

MRS. E. B. MCDOWELL SUES.
Also Asks Injunction to Prevent
Husband From Molesting Her.

Mrs. Matte p. Mcdowell today filed
suit for a limited divorce and injunc-
ton against her husband, Eugene B.
Mcdowell. a proofreader in Washing
ton printing establishment. Justice
Hitz cited the husband to show cause
Friday why he should not pay tempo
rary alimony and why he should not be
enjoined from molesting her.
Through Attorney d. Edward Clarke
the wife tells of her marriage at Oak
land, Va, January 26, 1898, and says
there are two children. She charges her
husband is addicted to the use of in
toxicants and when under the influence
of liquor treats her cruelty, she asserts.

Difficulties of Mobilization.

Judge Ballou pointed out the difficult
ties attendant upon the mobilization of
United States troops along the Mexi-
can border. He laid stress upon the
difficulty of securing men for service.
The history of the United States
shows that the National Guard and the
volunteer system always has broken
down after the first burst of patriot
ism" he said. Judge Ballou went on to
cite cases where nations that have
discontinued military training have
fallen, taking Greece and Rome as ex-
amples.
He pointed out that South American
countries, notably Argentina, are
forging ahead of the United States in
military preparedness. He urged the
adoption of system, proved to be
good, whereby this country may better
prepare both on land and on sea-
That song, supposed to come from
a mother, 1 Didn't Raise My Boy to Be
Soldier" said Judge Ballou, "is cor
rect after all. 1t is not the duty of a
mother to make her boy a soldier. All
she need do is get him over his at
tacks of mumps and measles, and Uncle
Sam will raise him to be a soldier"

U. S. Exporters Outsel British.

In 1916, for the first time, United
States exporters outsold British houses
in competition for Argentinas foreign
trade, the Department of Commerce re-
ports official Argentine estimates
made public by the department show
that during the first nine months of
the year Argentine purchases in this
country ran just 100000 ahead of pur-
chases in Great Britain. Both were
close to s45.00O.000. In former years
Great Britain was ahead by a wide
margin and that country still leads all
others as purchaser of Argentine
goods.
