Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no reSpector OF age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
iect to rheumatism should eat, less
avoid any undue exposure and. above
all, drink lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. II is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine: the pores of the skin are also
means of freeing the blood of this
impurity In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system. eventually set

what Editor Clark Howell has to say
on this subject. Here it is:
Out west a short time ago a young
girl stenographer was surprised when
informed that a legacy of $4,000 had
been left her by an old gate-keeper
whom she scarcely knew by name. She
is polite little lady with a heart full
of the milk of human kindness. and in
voluntarily she had formed the habit
of saluting the old gentleman who
tended the gate through which her du-
ties entailed her passing twice daily.
She would smile and greet him with a
kindly good morning" as she passed
through to her days work: and upon
leaving in the evening she would smile
again at the old fellow and bid him
good night"
She nor anyone else connected with
the establishment where she worked
dreamed that the old gentleman had
means; but he had. And one moring
he was missing from his gate. He
had died during the highland died
without known kin.
! Among his effects was found a
| legally executed will. bequeathing his
savings of $4,000 to the little girl who
had said good night" and good
morning" to him at the gate!
| OF course. had this young working
girl paid her little courtesies to the
old man with cash reward in view all
the beauty of it would have beep
alienated. But no such thought was
in her mind. She did it because Of the
very kindness and thought for the
pleasure of others in her heart-which
made her act beautiful and her good
fortune gratifying to the world.
| And it only goes to show that moth
ing ever is lost through kindly
spoken word nor a flower of courtesy
dropped by the wayside of life; and,
while the tidy little fortune with
which this old gate-keeper remem-
bered his little stenographer- friend
with whom he exchanged greetings
only twice a day during the twilight
of his life, came as a boon to her, 1t
was not her reward, because she had
been getting that as she went along
each day. The courtesy rewarded it.

at stated intervals. One does not need
an introduction to the conductor with

courtesy a negligible few of them will
fall before interpretations; and in any
event the self satisfaction of having
sown them is worth lot and all the
reward one really should hope for

There is nothing else in this world
wich costs so little, yet is worth so
much, as a simple act of kindness or

Liked Girls Letter

EDITOR THE TINES:
Such priceless letters as that of
Miss Vernhart that you printed
last week are of more value to the
public than all of your prepared
bills OF congress and all of your
page-one articles by Charles Ed
ward Russell on down with the
kings of Europe and no voice
against the money kings of Amer
ica.
Miss Vernharts letter occurring
on the back page may cause your
paper to be read backwards. We
are certainly glad to see you are
willing to allow 1t space anywhere
for It surely will reach many per-
sons who will clip It, and letters
like It and send them to their con-
gressmen and tell the latter that
they represent their views.
