KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
TELLS Rheumatism Sufferers
to Eat Less Meat and
Take Salts.

rheumatism Is easier to avoid than
ito cure, states a well-known authority.
I'VE are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid EXPOSURE; eat less
meat, but drink plenty Of good water.
Rheumatism is the direct result of
seating too much meat and other rich
floods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
j acid from the blood and cast it out
in the urine: the pores Of the skin are
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and cir
:culating through the system. Aver,tu-
ally 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 table,
spoonful in a glass Of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
OF these Impurities.

The vigilancia was built in 1890

Steamship company, better known as
the Ward line. Until shortly after the
outbreak Of the war, she was engag-
ed in passenger and freight trade be-
tween this port, Cuba and Mexico. In
1914 she was sold to engage in the
cotton carrying trade from the Unit
ed States Of German ports. In March,
1915. while on the way to Bremen,
she was seized by British cruiser
and taken into Kirkwall.
Since then the vigilancia is said to
have changed owners twice, her last
owner being the Barber line but
when sunk she was under charter to
the Globe line.

detained for three days after clearing

might proceed.

BRENT BURGLAR
MAY BE WOMAN

According to late developments, the
thief who entered the Brent residence
some time Saturday night and stole
several diamond rings and pins, is
thought to hav been a female, the
print of a woman's shoe having been
found in a muddy part of the yard.
An arrest may be effected today.
One thing certain, the thief was
extremely partial to diamonds and
other precious stones. A watch.
valued at $3.50, the property Of the
late F. G. Brent, was left after be-
ing handled, only diamonds and
money being taken.
There were several other gold
watches within easy reach OF the
thief, it was said.
Money to the amount of not more
than SO was secured. The list of
stolen goods consisted of three or
four rings, two stick pins and the
money reported.

DROWNED IN Is
INCHES OF WATER

Mariana, Feb. &c. H. Mont
gomery> an elderly citizen of Cyp-
ress, in this county, was found dead
at an early hour Saturday morning,
his body lying in eighteen inches of
water in a small pond near his house.
Sheriff Lewis, accompanied by Coun-
ty Judge j. Bowers Campbell and
State Attorney Rivers H. Buford,
went at once to the scene of the sup
posed homicide and held an inquest.
The result of the inquiry was that
it was found that the dead man had
left his house about o'clock to go
to feed his hogs, and did not return
to breakfast The body was found,
as stated, after considerable search,
and from the evidence produced to
the coroner's jury it was apparent
that the man had fallen into the
pond from a log on which he had
walked out to get a bucket of water
for his hogs, and that his feet had
become entangled on the log so that
his head was submerged and he was
unable to extricate himself before
drowning in the shallow water. The
verdict of the jury was accidental
drowning.

The submersibles were at a distinct
disadvantage, however, for not being

FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS
is NOW UNDER WAY

Washington, Feb. 1s.-With the
end of the sixty-fourth congress but
two weeks off, administration leaders
are concentrating their energies to
the enactment of revenue and ma
tional defense legislation. Long
pending general legislation, as every
one recognizes, must give way to ap-
preparations and measures relating
to the preparation of the nation for
any eventualities which may grow
out Of the break OF relations with
Germany.
What emergency legislation may
be enacted before adjournment will
depend upon the decision Of the pres
ldent, who it is believed will go to
congress in a few days. 1t is doubt
ed by leaders of both parties if there
win be time for the passage of rail-
road legislation and other general
bills.

slid into berth Saturday afternoon,

rushed down the bay last night short
ly after 10 o'clock, after hurriedly
summonfng aboard all who had been
given shore leave.
Where the Marlborough went to,
what caused its precipitated depart
ure, whether or not she actually went
into the gulf, what is behind it all,
were questions left to surmise only.
One fact that was not denied is
that the destroyer had received who'll

night" said one sailor, ''there would
not have been liberty parties in the

SAYS GALL IS WELL"

On Board the Royal Yacht Rospen,
En- Route to Pensacola, FEBRUARY Is,
via Wireless. His Majesty King
Priscus XVIII restlessly awaits his
arrival in his Capital City at high
noon tomorrow, and bids all his
faithful and merry subjects prepare
for the great merrymaking and reign
of pleasure which is declared in the
royal city during his stay
He hears with pleasure that an
elaborat\ reception will be given him
on his arrival, and that thousands of
his subjects have assembled to do him
homage.
The voyage up to the present time
has been without particular incident,
not even the ever present U-boat
showing its furtive periscope. Some
apprehension was felt upon entering
the Mexican Gulf, as it was reported
that one of the deadly submarines
was nearby. So far, this rumor has
proved groundless, and within a short
while the Imperial craft will be out
Of the danger zone.
His Majesty has greatly enjoyed
the trip thus far, the weather during
the entire voyage being ideal. Every
thing has been done TO relieve the
tedium incident to extended water
trips, and the passage has been en-
livened by court entertainments.
At the request of His Majesty, his
subjects are informed that Fun and
Frolic are unconfned during the two
days of merrymaking in honor Of the
visiting sovereign, and all faithful
subjects are expected to assist in
making the entertainment of H. l. NJ.
Priscus XVIII more brilliant than
that of any of his predecessors.

There are two indications at pres

Washington is not contemplating an

of Joseph @. Grew, former secretary
Of the embassy at Berlin, to be con-

the fact that Secretary Lansing
