keep URIC ACID
OUT Of JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism rs 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
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 closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
natism. y
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a 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 and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
efervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well.

DISGUISED
BLESSINGS
ARMY WORM
Pest Damages Wheat, But Holds
Second Cutting of Alfalfa
Back to the Proper Date,
Says Hybarger,

That the Mexican army worm has
passed into history as far as the 1919
situation in Grady county is conren-
ed, and that while he was here he
was blessing in disguise, is the
opinion Of D. c. Hybarger, land own
er and president of the Grady Coun-
ty Free Fair association.
Mr.. Hybarger pointed out that the
blessing in disguise" applied partic-
ularly to the alfalfa and that the
wheat growers of the county paid
for such blessing in damage to their
crop, He estimates that the worm
damaged Grady county wheat to the
extent of 100000, but that the al
falfa was not permanently injured.
"At first it looked like the alfalfa
was total loss Mr. Hybarger ex-
planned "The second crop was just
coming on when the worms hit the
county, They stripped the leaves off
as fast as they formed. All you could
see was stems.
"This delayed the second crop,
which has proved the very best thing
that could have happened to the ag-
ricultural interests of the county
Had not this occurred, the second
cutting of alfalfa would have been
on at this time when the binders are
busy in the wheat fields. There
would not have been men and teams
enough in the county to handle both
crops and the result is that we
would have lost one of them.
"As it is, the wheat harvest will
be out of the way in few weeks
and the men and teams used to har
vest it, will be ready to start right
in on the second cutting of alfalfa
Both crops will be saved, meaning adj
ditiCnal thousands of dollars to Ora.
dy county farmers that would have
been wasted in the field, had not the
army worm set the second crop of
alfalfa back few weeks"

FREE FAIR
PROMISES
BIG EVENT
Officials Getting Out Catalogue
Live Business Men and Farm
ers Anxious to Put Over ~
Best Event.

That the county fair, to be held
here September 9th to 18th, win
doubtless surpass any such occasion
in several years, is evidenced by the
results obtained in making the pre-
llminary arrangements for the expo
sition.
d. C. Hybarger, president, and Ar
thur Ersland. secretary of the Grady
County Free Fair association, have
just completed preliminary arrange
ments for the publishing of the fair
catalogue. THE merchants of
Chickasha as well as the agricultural
element are heartily in favor Of 4
bigger and better fair We were not
refused advertising for the catalogue
by any merchant we visited" said
President Hybarger this morning.
Pursuant to what we believe the
desire of every individual in the
county, we are going to put on one
OF the best fairs the county has ever
witnessed. That the spirit Of rival
ry will flow in a deep channel, is
assured. Many entries are expected
in the various displays.
"a big barbecue has been planned,
the returned soldiers and sailors to
he the special and honored guests at
this occasion. Farmers or stockmen
who wish to donate beef animal,
should notify this office" Secretary
Ersland said. Mr. Erslan@ declared
that any merchant who desired to
give any special premiums or dona-
tions should get in touch with the
fair officials so that notations Of pre-
naums can be included in the premi
um list
From every angle prospects for a
successful fair can be seen. The
association officials, the county
agent, the business men and farmers
all over the county are working in
cooperation for the fair" said Mr..
Ersland this morning

RECORD OF
BLACK NOT
SUFFICIENT
Family Bible Data on Births Falls
Down in Case Against Local
Negro; Held for Federal
Authorities.

Following his preliminary hearing
in the court of U. s. Commissioner
O'Neill, Fred Johnson. local negro
porter, charged with eyading tive
draft, was bound over to await the
action of the federal grand jury
which is to convene at Ardmore the
first Monday in OctoEc~.
The charge on which Johnson was
bound over to awit the action of the
federal grand jury, was the second
such charge to be preferred against
the negro since the passage Of the
selective service act. Information
charging him with evading the draft
was filed against Johnson in October,
1918.
In the preliminary before Commits
sioner Speake, Johnson introduced
the family bible which contained the
date Of birth and other data pertain
ing to every member of his family
According 10 the dates given in the
family book of books, Johnson was
above the draft age, and on this
count Judge Speake dismissed the
case.
Later, it was reported to Deputy U.
S. Marshal Worley that the data in
the family bible was written for use
as evidence and was not an old fam
lily record Deputy Worley investi-
gated and charges were again institut-
ed against the negro porter
The family record" was intro
duced as testimony in the prelimi-
nary hearing before r. j. O'Neill
Other testimony that the family rec
ord" was prepared as evidence in
Johnson's behalf and was not an au-
thentic record of the Johnson family
was offered and Commissioner O'Neill
bound the man over to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury Johnson was
formerly employed at the Wren drug
store here.

Prospects early this morning were
that the troops of the 142nd infantry,
seth division, will not parade in
Chickasha until some time tomorrow
afternoon, but will be in El Reno
this evening, leaving there tonight
for Oklahoma Ciey to be in the cap
ital tomorrow morning.
The local dispatcher at the Rock
Island this morning picked up tel
egram from the trainmaster at Enid,
to the chief dispatcher's office at El
Reno, stating that the first of the
five troop trains would leave at 8
to $3.50 o'clock this afternoon for Ell
Reno and would parade in El Reno
until dark, when they would again
board the trains for Oklahoma City
and be ready for the state capital
tomorrow morning
They are scheduled to spend five
hours in Oklahoma City and unoffi-
cial estimates were this morning
that, providing they make this sche-
dule all the way, they will hit Chick
asha tomorrow afternoon around 3
to 4 o'clock.
The trains are running ten minutes
apart, which indicate that it is prob
able that Chickasha will get to see
the entire outfit in a body. This is
not certain, however, and it will not
be until tomorrow when a Chickasha
representative confers with the COM
manding officer of the troops that
definite arrangements can be made.

IS MARKET
FOR WOOL

More than seventeen thousand
pounds of wool, assembled in Chick
asha by growers from Grady, Steph-
ems and Caddo counties, was sold
here yesterday at prices ranging from
twenty-five to fifty cents per pounG.
The wool was sold under the auspi-
ces of j. W. Owens, county farm
agent, whose efforts brought about
the assembling of the wool here.
Twenty buyers representing some
of the largest manufacturers and
wool buyers in the United States,
were here and we're bidders at the
sale.
Wool growers who brought wool
to Chickasha obtained excellent and
very satisfactory prices for the pro
duct" declared Farm Agent Owens
this morning "The highest market
price was obtained. It. has been
proved that wool growing is profita-
bic in Grady and surrounding coun.
ties"

Orin Ashton, chairman of the re-
ception committee here, left today
for Oklahoma City and will be on the
job there when the trains arrive
He will get in touch with the COM
manding officer and will then phone
the details of the Chickasha stop to
local people who will complete ar
rangements.
The committee this morning
stressed again the importance OF rel
atives of the men obtaining passes
from the chief of police permitting
them to pass through the lines to
meet their boys. Otherwise it is
probable that they would not get to
see them.
The canteen committee Of the Red
Cross is completing arrangements to
serve refreshments to the soldiers.
1t was announced again at Red Cross
headquarters that the rooms, second
floor of the Federal building, would
be closed tomorrow afternoon while
the troops are here. The request
that relatives Of the men appear at
the Eed Cross rooms this afternoon
or tomorrow before the arrival If
the troops and register.
Decorators started work yesterday
afternoon, dressing up the various
business houses OF the city in honor
of the returning soldiers. This work
was being continued today as rapidly
as the rain would permit and the
streets were taking on a decidedly
gala appearance.
