since the special session was called Representative Asweu declared that it has no right to spend peoples money at the rate of $20, 1000 a day unless 1t is going to give the people something in return. Following the introduction of his resoutions MT. Aswen pointed out that as the situa- ton now exists the Republicans are keeping Congress going simply to keep the Republican party in the 1me-Hght at great expense to the government. The railroad legislation is waiting, the living cost is hanging, in the balance and other matters of national importance are before Con- gress, including the various soldiers measures that have been brought up. With great ostentation he said, the Republican leaders were pictured busying themselves earlier in the Ses- sion over the Lane-Mondell land bill for the soldiers. They have lost in terest in this measure. They have re- fused to enact legislation in behalf of the soldier of any character. They have failed to do anything construc- tive or progressive and still they con tinue to spend money lavishly try ing to build up campaign material fo rneXt year.

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts Ond Get Rid Of
 Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those sub nct to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above all. drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated ill the bowels and absorbed into 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 impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are clos ed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they became weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this ufic acid which keeps accumulat- ing and circulating through the sys- tenn, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, sore ness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Sales; put a table spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn- ing for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to 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 lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithiawateI drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well
