Report Many Cases of Rheumatism Now Says we must keep fese dry;
 avoid exposure and eat less meat.

Stay off the damp ground. avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat drink lots of water and above ali take spoonful Of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gen. erated in the bowels and absorbed in to the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this i'm purity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work. they become weak and slug gish and fail to- eliminate this uric acid. which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, event ualiy settling in the joints and mus cles, causing stiffness. soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for g week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys tc normal action. thus ridding the blood Of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Mthis and is used with excellent results bS thousands of folks who are subject te rheumatism. Here you have a pleas. ant. effervescent lithia- water drinl which evercomes uric acid and is ben eficial to your kidneys as well.

to accommodate it inasnuch as Ne has fleet of 30 and there are others which can be obtained. But to sum is all up he doesn't like the idea of the state going into business in competi- ton with private enterprise.
 There may be something to be said in regard to this last complaint but if private enterprise is not prepared to furnish the barges the necessity of getting them ready for use in order to help out the transportation prob lem under prevailing war conditions devolves upon tho state. This head of a barge company ought to under stand that the provision of the boats cannot be delayed until it is found that the canal cannot be put to it's full use because of lack of boats. The thing to do is to prepare and then see that the canal is kept busy with all the traffic that it can accommo- date. Great harm will be done by prpcrastinatiig

FROM LUCILE'S DIARY

It was perfect beauty of an even ing frock, marked down from slOo to SIS. Not unnaturally felt that it would be poor economy to lose such a remarkable bargain, so I asked the clerk to lay it aside while went to fathers office. hoped I could per- suade daddy to advance me the money for it. Somehow I always find it much easier to transact. business with him at the office than at home.- The fact that he was out disappointed me grievously, and I could scarcely keep my tears back when his junior partner, MT. Jennings, told me that father had run out of town for the whole day.
 "Is there anything can do for you?" he asked.
 You're awfuliy kind, but I don't believe ought to trouble you with my difficulties."
 "It would be pleasure to serve you, if I can in any way. I can't ex aetly De father to you, but I can at least be your banker. if that would help" "How did you guess so quickiyr asked, laughing.
 "I know that with all the Red Cross and other good work you young wome. are doing these days there's always an | opportunity to reduce your surplus" "I wish sver had surplus Some times think I really ought. to go worl to relieve father. Of course, ha lookl upon me as q baby almcst. but if could earn--' --- Don't contemplate such thing said Mir. Jennings. What amount please ?''
 "Wel I should have s1o0, but believe I can get along win S75.' l thought you were going to re quire $500 at least" said Mir. Jennings smiling, as he handed me, his persona check for $10o. I thanked him warmly and told him that father, too, would b, grateful. He looked extremely pleased at that for he's been in the firm onl, a short time.
 went right back to the store ant 1 paid for the frock. decided to giv to the Red Cross all 1 had left of tn dancing slippers and silk stockings t match the gown. Although I shoppe, diligently ana bought only bargains had but $2 left. It seemed a srnal sum to give to the Red Cross, and was so Hungry after my long nlornin that I had to get myself a uncheoi and make a larger gift later, when met George Requier,
 "Whither away in such haste ?" h asked.
 I'm going to make small donatio to the Red Cross" explained

yori, and admire you in the act of en- riching the Red Cross.''
 When we had finished our delightful repast at his club looked in sfiy purse to find the s2 bill I saw beside it some tickets that made me gasp.
 Whats the excitement, Lucille ?' George asked.
 "Why, Eve found some symphony orchestra tickets. and it's ? o'clock now. isn't it?"
 "Yes, and five minutes" Oh, George, won't you go with me? Can't you take an afternoon off for a little music '
 Charmed, I'm sure.' he answered gayly. And now we shall have to run down the street to the hall, or we won't be able to to take our seats" !" And run we did, entering tine box just before the conductor raised his baton for the first strain of the lovely synp hony. The others in the box were all strangers to me, and they appeared to be the kind of music mad people who consider that whisper is a crime. Every time George and I exchangsd the slightest remark they positively | glared at us.
 1 This morning mother came ;o my room before I was up to tell me that ' 40s telephoned to ask how she and Cousin
 Fannie had enjoyed the concert. | "Of course, Lucille, I had to ask her
 what concert she meant. She told me I that she had sent two tickets by yor for her Friday box. What did you dc with those tickets ?'
 Why, you see, mother, she handed them to me at that noisy bazaar, ant 1 simply forgot all about them until happened to find them in my purse just at 2 O clock on Friday when it wa. quite too late to get you and Cousir Fannie downtown, go I took Gedrgi Reqnier, with whom I was lunehing. I Why, Lucille. that was outrageeu'
 Surely you wouldn't have wished me to waste the tickets w

 reasonable mood, said no more, bu
 she did. She said that she and fathe wished to know where l got the none,

MEN WHO CAME BACK
The Experiences of a Bomber.

By Sergt. R. E. Bulger, Sd Battalion Queens Own Toronto Rifles.
 Have the brigade bombers as- semble under cammand of Major Smith and for Heavens sake get those machine guns"
 These were the orders given to our company commander by the Colonel. His anxiety was due to the fact that we had already gone over that top twice in an effort to silence four of Fritz guns that were causing Us no end of trouble. Each time we were driven back by those murder splitting devil weapons.
 I was a bomber and a member of what was termed by the boys the Sui eide club,-an exclusive club for bombers only. My feelings were not exactly cheerful that morning when told that the brigade bonlbers were going over' that night, and I was not particularly encouraged by the remarks of my ctum.
 Say, Dick, would you like some daisies or shall I send home for tu- lips?" meaning of course, that he would see to my grave being decor ated: He, poor fellow, was blown tC pieces that night by a high explosive but we did find enough to make z grave.

TIE FLoRlzEl DISASTER.

Tho loss of the Red Cross liner Florizel together with 92 of passen- gers and crew is one of those sea tragedies which too frequently occur as the result of weather conditions. Although happening during the war period it has no direct connection herewith for 1t was in no way attrib- utable to the action of the enemy. Caught in furious blizzard the cap- tain of the ship lost his bearings in :he blinding snowstern and when he had supposed that he was making due allowance in order to get by danger GUS Cape Race he was as a matter of fact heading for the rocks where such a large loss in lives and property took place. There is no indication to show that 1t was due to carelessness or recklessness on the part of the com mander.
 Negotiating that part of the North Atlantic ocast Is full of danger. The locality about Sabis Island end Cape Race has been the scene Of many such disasters. Even in good weather there arc tides and currents which have to be closely watched in order to insure safety, but. as can be appreciated, the danger manifoldly increases when weather conditions and especially a hard snow storm interfere with the -eckonings of the pilot.
 The only stroke of good fortune in the whole affair appears to be that the ship was held in the position that it was by the ledge upon which it struck, and the abatement of the storm so that those who remained alive aboard could be rescued. And in that work of rescue none too much praise can be given to the heroic ser
 vice rendered by those who risked their lives to help those stranded and in distress.

TIME TO PREPARE.

Someone is always standing in the way of needed improvements and there are those who are constantly doing their bit to forestall adequate prepara- tions under the claim that the ileees- sary outlays and the optimism which advocates them are not warranted.
 Such to a degree is the attitude which Is being taken by the head of a lighterage and transportation com pany in New York who is protesting against the appropriation of two mil lion dollars fer the purpose of con- structing beats to be used in the new Erie canal. In spite of the fact that the barge canal will be able to ham, de ten million tons of freight in a season he maintains that there will be no freight to transport. or if there Is there will be enough canal boats V s~e M --s~ s-~ ~~ " s--s ,
