WHY RHEUMATISM CONES
r.: WITH COLD !. WEATHER
(Ey Valentine Mott Pierce, M. d.

(Ey Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. ID
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 it's 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 often copious sediment Of "brick'
dust" ..',i,,'.,
t Several causes may lead up to all
accumulation of uric acid in the sys.
TEN, which, in turn, cause rheuma-
tism or govt, or creaky joints. swOl-
len 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-
ceptible that they soon develop rheu-
matism after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously Of hot water, say, a
pint morning and night, and take An
uric double strength) three or four
times. a day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. 1t dissolves the uric
acid in the system and carries it out
ward | would advise everyone to
take Anuric occasionally, and con-
tinue for three or four weeks, and in
that way avoid rheumatism, govt and
many of the painful disorders due to
uric acid in the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally slim
ulating it's action with a pleasant lax
alive composed of May-apple, dried
juice of aloe, and root Of jalap, sugar
coated and long sold by all druggists
as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

WILL BE DRAWN
Details Of Draft Worked Out by Pro-

Congressman VIII
Draw Names.

Further details Of the plan by
which the young men will be selected
impersonally from Washington were
published in the Chicago Tribune to
day under . Washington date line.
Under the plan proposed by General
Crowder, every card in every regis
tration unit in the United States will
be numbered from one up to the limit
of registrations IN that unit.
Corresponding numbers will be
placed in a box and drawn out by the
military and naval committees OF the
house and senate until as many mum
bers are drawn as are necessary to
make up the 100000 men who will
be selected at the first drawing.
Thus, for example, If the commit
tees should draw out Of the box No
1879, every young man In the country
whose registration card bears the
number 1872 would be regarded as Sc
lected for service. The provost mar
shall general has received from each
registration unit word OF how many
registrations there we're in that unit.
The numbers to be placed in the
box will be numbered up to the high
est number Of registrations in the
largest unit Of the United States.
nus, IL NO. SuOulu US VI q WI oul
by the committee it would mean that
there will be one man drawn from ev-
cry unit, but If high number, such
as 7OO should be drawn no man would
be selected from many units, for the
reason that there were not that many
registrations in many places.
If by this process any state should
be called on to furnish more than its
fair quota of troops. its numbers
would be reduced without affecting
the draft because a large surplus OF
men will be drawn to provide for
such emergencies.
It has been determined by the pro-
vost marshal general that this Is the
best method that can be devised to in
sure fair drawing
