A close connection exists between
these t7qo - cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers ia the medical
profession in tie 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 a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, 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

Why rheumatism Comes

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. I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid Ih1 1matisn, govt
and many Of the painful disorders due
70 uric acid. ADV.

LONDON OPENS ARMS

Warmly Welcomes Our Soldiers and
Sailors, Who Teach Craps" to
British Chums.

London. london is constantly filled
with American soldiers and sailors. All
the downtown streets. especially In the
Piccadilly district. are often thronged
with them. Everywhere the Americans
mix with the Australians, Canadians
and Scotchmen in kits. and all agree
that London Is fine.
In some places the Britons we're ini-
tiated into the game of "craps" and, us
usual. the beginners won. Craps seems
TO have captivated London. The Amer
leans. who had not been at liberty since
their departure from the United States,

stood handing flowers to the strangers,
who pinned them on their has.
The especially warm personal well
come extended the men is notable.
Furloughed Belgians, Frenchmen or
other soldiers Of the allies travel
through the city in groups, by them
selves. Every American group is pilot
ed by at least one and sometimes half
dozen Britons.
Those in London having just been
paid, had pockets full of money, which
they are anxious to spend. They dine
at the best hotels, some of them occu-
pying tables adjoining those ut which
British officers are seated.

the waste Of tissue Is reduced to the
smallest possible limit, the circulation
in the meantime being only just sufli-

rcrtained that animals can endure the
loss of tissue until it amounts to 40 per

the weight be reduced beyond that linn
