LIMOS SLOWLY DYING OUT
Comparatively Few Remain Of His
torio Race Of Aborlgines Of
Northern Japan.

Investigators call attention to the
fact that the historic race Of the
Amos, the aborigines Of northern
Japan, is slowly dying out. It Is es-
h ilnated that these residents Of Hok-
, lido, the most northerly Of the great
! LANDS making up the Japanese en-
Aire, are now no more than 10000.
The Amos, dark, picturesque ap-
, earring people, live in groups Of twen-
~ to forty houses in scattered. dis
i ricts on the island. In spite Of cease
a'ss efforts on the part Of the central
government and each prefectural gov
; rnment in their behalf, which give
hem allotted portions of land, provide
s.lem with habitations, give them in
kructions in farming and furnish
hhem with necessary education, they
svertheless show no sign Of benefting
from the care taken Of them.

lent, improvident race and declare that

The male Amos pass their time In
s'unting and fishing. The women are
Inscribed as more Industrious. Beal
bunting is the great occupation Of the
,nen, but the bears, like the Amos
themselves, are becoming fewer. The
snen have dark hair and long, thick
Lizards. Hair is sacred to them. Theil
faces are usually tattooed.
The "bear festival" as it is called
consists of the offering Of a slaugh
tered young bear as sacrifice to the
gods. The animal is nurtured fol

WHY RHEUMATISM COMES
WITH COLD WEATHER
(ey Valentine Mott Pierce, N. D.

iRy Valentine Mott Pierce, M. d.,
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof. Alex Haig Of London has
the most followers in the medical pro-
fession in the belief that the presence
in the system OF uric acid, or its salts
in excess, is the real cause Of rheuma-
tism. Every one has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brick
dust" -..... 49,. -. =
Several causes may lead up to an ac-
emulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, cause rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joins, 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. An
other 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 peo-
pie are so susceptible that they soon
develop 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 day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. 1t dissolyes the uric
acid in the system and carries it out
ward. 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
in tho system. Z,
