Why Rheun1atiSm Comes
With Cold Weather |!
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M D.

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
often 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,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1917-02-09

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, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times a 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. ADV.

Mr.. Roche said that more than S4,-

In 1916 the crop was not as heavy
but the yields in many districts wer,
very large. So large, indeed was tn,
acreage under cultivation in 1915 tha
the resulting crop proved too large to bC
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads. and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall ploWing
was done than would have been done
In less heavy year, because the aver.
age farmer was too busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded in the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced,
. and one factor in the decreased yield
smaller acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that tave
been less favorable to the production
Of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited In smaller yield per acre and
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
"a bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
WesternS Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever before.
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have been re-
ceived thae- are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over $1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, a wheat crop at present
figures would pay the farmer even
supposing he had only the average of |
16 bushels per acre, over $1,000 per |
acre. A large number are receiving
5000 per aere-sOme have received |
$500, and few even more than that.
This price, of course, is not all profit
it represents the gross return, and the
cost Of operation must be deducted.
But 1t does not, even at the highest fig
ures, cost more than 65 cents to raise
bushel Of wheat Id Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
lngly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $4,000 crop costs
III the first case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dis
tricts from 500 to $500 per acre, and
even then return Of $4,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class of ag-
ricultural land, capable of producing
crops that in size compare with any
country in the world except, perhaps
some European countries, can be OBJ
tanned at, on the average, from 500 to
$40 per acre, with irrigated lands some
what higher. 1t is no exaggeration
whatever to say that a number of
Western Canadian farmers have paid

A Serious Problem.

"The United States geological sur
vey," said Mr.. Williams, "has recently
estimated that, with the annual con-
sumption OF oil remaining stationary
and present methods of production,
there is only enough oil to last the
country for another % years. Al
though 1t cannot be definitely said that
no more oil fields will be discovered In
the future, 1t Is safe to say that the
greater number of them are already
being worked. The problem, there
fore, which seems to face the country
is very serious one, owing to the al
most universal use to which gasoline
Is put In developing the industrial re-

standing the fact that the production
Of gasoline is getting relatively
