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
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 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-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in 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 1ithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant
effervescent Whitewater drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as we'll.

the packing houses will be present to

College of Agriculture will send rep
resentatives to grade and assist in
the sale, which will all be free Of

pense of sending kilograms, ! for
bids, and whatever hired labor will
be necessary in operating the SALE
Farmers are advised to bring such
hogs as will grade No. 1, weighing
not less than 100 pounds, because
lighter weights will command a less
price. Smaller sizes will be sold, how
ever, if presented for sale.
'The county agent asks the hearty
cooperation Of the farmers in this
sale, as it is proposition strictly for
the best interests of the hog-raiser
and by this method of sale should in
