New York. March 15.-Declaring

Avenue Baptist Church told the men
of his Bible class yesterday that the
red blooded men of this country, "di-
vided by different nationalities, be-
devilled by wild-eyed women and be-
set by poor pussy pacifsts," can be
excused if they swear.
He added that there was a time
when he was fairly artistic cusser"
himself.
You can't follow Jesus Christ un-
less you are good citizen" he said.
You can't be neutral. | would rather
have a man in the wrong and stand
up for it than be jelly fish.
ut would be a good thing for the
country if one-half of us got shot, "
he said. 'Slackers want to meet the
enemey at the gates with sweet
words. ! would not want to live as
u coward"
He ridiculed a clergyman neighbor
who, he said, was reported to have
taken the American flag off the
church for fear it would inflame the
people.
"When it becomes dangerous to fly
the American fla gin America" said
DR.. Eaton, II want to emigrate."
He said that Americans are moral
ly sick, that the churches are hoo
dooed" and are teaching moral as
phyxiation. lie said that America is
masquerading in effeminacy and liv-
ing in a moral vacuum.
Where is there a richer, ripper or
rottener plum for Germany than

MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid eX-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function 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 kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimi-
nate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of JAd Salts; put tablespoons
full in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for u
week This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have Il pleas
ant, etfervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.

failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy
