Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

CBy Valentine ldott Pierce, NJ. d.
close connection exists between these
two-coId weather and rheumatism.
Prof. Alex. Haig. OF London, has the
most followers in the medical profession
in the belief that the presence in the
system of uric acid, or its salts in excess,
Is the real cause of rheumatism. Every
one has recognized the difference in the
appearance Of their water as soon as it
gets cold; there is often copious sedi-
ment of "brickdust"
Several causes may lead Up to an &C
cumulation of uric acid IN the system.
which, in turn, cause rheumatism or
gout, or creaky Joints, swollen fingers,
or painful Joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw OF 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
copiously OF hot water. say. a pint morn
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. II dis
solves the uric acid in the system and
carries It outward. I would advise every
one to take Anuric occasionally, and con-
tinue for three or four weeks, and in
that way avoid rheumatism, gout 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 a pleasant laxative COM

1t is refreshing to read in the Lon
don Chronicle the advice it gives to
Mr.. Lloyd George and some other
British statesmen "to get off their
high horse" as we would say in the
States. It's about time that the aver

world knows. e., that he is just one

New York, Day by Day
BY o. o. MCINTYRE.

New York, Jan. 15-She OF. a cabaret
singer at Shanley's. Twice nightly she
stands on the platform in full view
of the dinners and sigs Maggie" and
TN the Land of the Sky Blue Water"
Her voice is rich and shows much
promise.
The other evening she came out to
sing and as the orchestra vamped she
looked out over the audience. Her
she paled just a bit. But she went
through the song and hastily retired.
Loud and long applause failed to bring
her back for the encore.
I happened to be at one of the tables
and later asked the manager the rea-
son for her refusal to sing. He was
reluctant, but finally told the story.
The singer is a young girl who has
been used to luxury in a city in the
far West.
Family reverses put her out in the
world upon her own resources She
had had a musical education and so
she came to New York with high hopes
Of grand opera. But the path to the
stage of the Metropolitan is not a
primrose path.
So she went to the cabarets and in
the meantime is taking vocal instruc-
tions each day to improve her sing
ing. And" said the manager, "she
will not always be a cabaret singer.
Those people out there tonight are
people who know her well in her home
city They knew she was singing here,
but did not call to visit her They
just came out of curiosity. It upset
her and I told her not to sing again
until they had left
Door of the Hotel Majestic that houses
me. If we lived that near in my
home town in Missouri 1 would be
calling him George" and he would be
calling me Mac" and I would borrow
a clean collar from him now and then
when my collar got soiled.
But this is New York. And SO he
passes me in the hallway every morn
ing without even a bow. And fur
thermore l was in Rector's cafe the
other night and he ushered a crowd of
