URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Gays q little Salts In water may
save you from dread
attack.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly: keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure: eat less
meat. but drink plenty Of good water.
Rheumatism is a direct result Of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which is
absorbed into the blood 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1T out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood or
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 acld,
which keeps accommodating and circula-
ting through the system, eventually
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 a tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning TOR a

How long will this war last? That is a
question heard with increasing frequency.
No person is qualified to answer by the
book and hope is probably father or the
belief that next spring will mark the be-
ginning of the end. Personally. however,
we believe that the allies opposed to Ger
many are now in a position where they
could lay their cards on the table face
up and play the game from now on with
the certainty of winning. We do not be-
lieve that Germany set into this game
with the idea of bluffing the thing
through but she is bluffing now and that
she will collapse when n showdown is
forced. Bddeford Journal.
One of the signs Of peace is seen In the
fact that the great financial people Of the
United States think that the end of the
war will come in a few months. These
men have trusty agents all over the Allied
and neutral world and are therefore en-
abled to know what conditions really are.

is likely to happen and usually they do
know.-Belfast Republican.

XII KLUx KHAN IN
A MORMON MAID
Garb Of Raiders Only Copy
Of Dress Originating
Before Civil War

That the mysterious garb Of the ku
Klux Khan. stories of which have
thrilled booklovers the world over, did
not originate with that secret organiza-
ton. but was copied from that of the
Mormons of antebellum days, is re-
vealed for the first time In "A Mormon
Maid," the six-part photodrama OF
carly Mormon days In which Mae Muir
ray appears in the title role, which
will be seen at the Empress theater
on Friday and Saturday.
Years before the notorious southern
clansmen spread terror in their his
torical night rides. CARRIED in their long
flowig robes and hooded helmets, "rhe
averaging Angels. four hundred fana-
tic Mormons. disguised in a similar
garb. spread a reign of terror among
enemies of the Faith" on the outskirts
Of the youthful Salt Lake colony. in
Utah.
Replica Of "avenging Angels"
Moreover, "A Mormon Maid" shows
that the mysterious costumes OF the
X. X X. is an exact replica of the
of the symbol on the front OF their
robes. On the garb of the latter APP
peared the "All Seeing Eye" large
reproduction of the human eye sym
holizing the far-reaching Influence of
the clan, which accumulated the hid
eousness of the garb. Later when the
i. *. X. adopted this garb the eye was
displaced by the large cross.
"A Mormon Maid wildly portrays
the insidious activities of thS"Angels"
who We're under the bidding of the
Council of Elders. and who formed
network of guards through which no
tale-taie bearer could escape and no
interloper could break in. Heavily
armed and expert on the swiftest of
steeds, these Angels" were noted for
the dispatch and brutality with which
thoy carried out every whm of the
Elders.
Furious night rides to execute secret
missions of the Council and secret
meetings of that Council" make some
OF the strongest scenes of the picture.
