URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says Little Salts in Water May
Save You From Dread
Attack.

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
TO cure. states well-known author
tty. 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 it out in
he urine: the pores Of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this in1purity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
75ork, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating 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 tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
Of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
end lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands OF folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent Whitewater drink
which helps overcome uric acid and
Is beneficial to your kidneys as we'll.

German Commander in East Africa
Surrenders With His Army Of $500
Europeans and Natives.

London, Feb. "a, british Wireless
Won Letsow Vorbeck, the German
commander in East Africa, with his
command Of $500 Europeans and ma
tives which took place on Nov Is
is graphically described by the Rhode
sian Herald. According to this paper.
General Won Lettow's command in
gun carriers, a medical unit and nu-
merous women who had followed
their husbands through the hardships
of years of campaigning. The sur
render took place on the Chambezi
River, near Kasana, Rhodesia.
The surrendering troops were
formed into three lines and General
Won Lettow read his formal surrender
to General Edwards. Won Lettow then
ordered his native troops to lay down
their arms, but the Europeans am ong
them were allowed to retain theirs in
recognition of the hard fighting they
had experienced. The natives were
then marched away to the internment
camp.
1T was a most impressive specta-
cle," says the Herald. The surrender
ing forces numbered 1866 Europeans,
Att natives and 819 women. The
men were all veterans of a hundred
fights while the women, who had gone
through long campaigns, were carry
ing huge loads and many of them had

wreckers that naval vessels cannot b.
broken up at q, profit.
Italians Have Other Views.


The Italian government claims to
have broken up the famous old bat
tleship Dullo at a profit, but no one
else has been able to do as we'll. The
turrets and side armor plates could
not be utilized excepting at great ex-
pense and even the boilers and en-
gnes would be unsatisfactory for
commerce use. 1t is pointed out it
would be possible to detach the navi-
eating instruments and much brass
work, which would be done in any
case, but the recommendation of
British and American experts is that
the hulls should be sunk.
Oppose Distribution Plan
One naval expert of the peace COM
mission said today there were i'm
portant naval reasons for complete
destruction Of the German ships.
1t had been suggested that they
should be distributed among the En-
tente powers in proportion to the
maritime loss sustained by each. On
that basis the American share would
be absurdly small. Then, he said the
distribution might involve disagree
ments and leave bad feeling between
the powers and also provoke an en-
largement of rival building program
a great expense. At the same time,
the German ships would not fit into
any of the Entente naVies.
