Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. d.


A close connection exists between these
two--cold weather and rheumatism. Prof
Alex. Haig. of London, has the most fol-
lowers IN the medical profession in the
belief that the presence in the system OF
uric acid, or it's salts in excess, is the
real cause of rheumatism. Every one
has recognized the difference in the APP
pearance of their water as soon as it
gets cold; there is often a copious sedi-
ment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an ac-
emulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, cause rheumatism or govt,
or creaky joints, swollen fingers, or pain
full 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 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
coplOusly OI not NdItl, sd y: pihI iHoi III
ing and night, and take Anuric double
strength three or four times a day. This
Anuric 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 every
one to take 4Anuric 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 stimulating its
action with pleasant laxative com

ing, which resulted in the death of one
convict, injury of a score of others and
serious in:ury of two guards.

Bowen charged that women posing
as welfare workers had been visiting
the prison freely and writing improper
letters to the inmates. An order pro-
hibting any visitors except relatives
precipitated the trouble.

state prison by 1000 convicts a rain

stubbornly refused to retreat before
the bayonets of national guardsmen

School Taken by F'airer Sex.

Emporia Kan, June Six women
to one man is the ratio of enrolment
in the summer session of the Kansas
State Normal, according to w. S. Blk
Ter, registrar. Out of 1854 students
enrolled 225 are Een. The ratio of
women to men in former summers has
been about three to one. Forty per
cent of the students of the regular
school year are men. The greater diff
ference this summer probably is due
to a decrease in the number of men
on account of the war and an increase
in the number of women.
Present indications are that the total
enrolment will be as large as last
summer A decrease because of the
war had been expected. The present
enrolment is only 200 short of the
number at the SAM time last year
with more stude hts coming in late.

Mr.. Sidener said that never before
in the history of the country was it SO
important that advertising be up to a
standard of maximum efficiency, for
American business, to provide means
for bringing the war to a successful
end, must go forward with vigor.
Mr.. Kenner said thirty-seven states
now have legislation prescribing PEN

the time near when there would be
national legislation on the subject.
