RECREATION CENTERS

The Knights of Columbus have ap-
propriated Sl.00o,00o for recreation
centers for the United States soldiers
and for the expenses of chaplins who
will minister to the soldiers in these
centers. The money is raised by as

the Durango lodge is 1920, the mem
bership being 110. Plans are being
drawn for the 16 X of c buildings

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
otter n copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, 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,

KEEP FIT AND FEEL FINE

Foley Cathartic Tablets are
wholesome physic that thoroly cleanse
the bowels, sweeten the stomach and
arouse the liver. For Indigestion,
biliousness, bad breath, bloating, gas,
or constipation, no remedy is more
highly recommended. Sluggish bow
els are the direct cause of many ills
and the indirect cause of many more.
Undigested food poisons the whole
system. Don't be careless. See that
your bowels are regular. Keep fit.
Then you will feel fines. 6. Wall

WHY EsEsGaasaaatisln C0se>sS
With Cold Weather /!
Py VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M d.

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, RInt
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times n 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. | would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, gout
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid.
