why rheumatism Comes
With Gold 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 Is it gets cold; there is
o'ssn q copious sediment Of brickdust.
several causes may lead up 10 an
accumulation Of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gopt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw on 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 Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1917-02-22

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 30 susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, q pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times q day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be-
had at almost any drug store. Il dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. i would advise
everyone 70 take Anuric occasionally.
and continue for three or four weeks.
and in that way avoid rheumatism, govt
and many Of the painful disorders dnc
TO uric acid. ADV.

LISTEN TO THE BLACKSMITH
Ayers That His Equine Friends Are
as Proud Of New Shoes as
Little Boys.

we happened to hold e with
q horseshoer the other day. He is q
veteran who can remember the day
when he not only had to forge his
wv shoes, but even the nails that
tackled them on. He says that horses
are like little boys. Some Of them are
intensely proud of a new pair of shoes.
He mentioned one mare that tries to
turn In at the shop door every time
she passes. She Is so fond of the
feel Of new shoes that she fairly
prances when she leaves the shop.
Then he told about the old doctors
old mare that would come by herself
to the shop whenever she was loose.
II always had to pick up her shoes
and look ut Them" said the smith. "If
/ happened to be busy. she would hang
around for an hour and wait for me to
examine her feet. II any work was
needed I did II. and charged 1t up to
the doctor. If her shoes were oil
righr, / would give them a few taps
with the hammer, and then the old
girl was satisfied" The smith thinks
that mares are prouder than ~geldings
Of a new pair Of shoes. He attributes
this to natural feminine good sense,
rather than vanity. We don't vouch
for the truth Of his anecdotes, but we
will say that It Is hard to find a more
interesting man than this blacksmith
or any blacksmith. He is always a
good story-teller. and we imagine that
the rhythmic ring OF hammer on iron
develops his imagination.-Farm Life.

element of value that make for peace

money invested.
The perspective view does not dis
close the height Of the roof over the
one-story section. Possibly there is
sufficient headroom to give nm attic
for storage purposes, entrance to be
secured through the front bedroom on
that side. The cost of a door would
be in~considerable and storage room
usually is at a premium in all houses.

To Have Perfect Skin
Throughout the Summer

These days the face needs special
care and attention. Flying dust and
dirt. the beating sun. are severe on
any skin. Their despoiling effects
are best overcome by the applica-
tion of pure mercolized wax. This
keeps skin and pores in a cleanly
condition, the complexion beautI-
fully white and spotless. Discol-
ored, freckled and roughened cuticle
are actually absorbed by 1t. One
ounce of mercolized wax. obtainable
at any drug store, is sufficient to
completely renovate a soiled COM
plexion. 1t is used like cold cream,
allowed to remain on over night,
and washed off in the morning.
As the skin tends to expand in
warm weather. causing wrinkles to
form, a good astringent lotion
should be used. Dissolve 1 OF. pow
dered saxolite in II pit. witch hazel.
Battle the face in this during the
heat of the day or before going out
for theater or social affair 1t is a
remarkable skin tightener and
wrinkle eraser.-Adv.
