RUSSIAN FOOD SHORTAGE DUE ID
 GREAT LACK OF TRANSPORTATION

London, Jan. 2O-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) )-Demora1- ized transportation, lot lack of food, is responsible for the famine condi- tions in Russian cities and towns, &C., cording to Leslie Urquhart, a capital ist with large metallurgical and min ing interests in Siberia. Mir. Urqu- hart, who recently returned from
 .Issia, has been appointed by the British government to assist in the revival of Siberia's economic life.
 Considering the depreciation of the ruble, he told a represent i've of The Associated Press, food puce in Si- beria are practically normal In Western Siberia, he siid, there is so much food on hand that a Considera- ble surplus coulC be sent into other parts of Russia, and the same applies, he understood, to Southeastern Rus sia and to the Ukraine.
 Broadly speaking, it can be said that in the Country as a whole there is no shortage of food, and although the urge towns of north and central Russia are starving there is plenty of food in the villages. The difficulty of transport due to the disorganization of the railways, the industrial strikes and risings which brought about the flooding of the Donetz coal mines and the decrease in the supply of fuel to less than 25 per cent of normal pro- duction. civil war in the country and economic chaos generally are all req sons for the state bordering on fam inc in the towns.
 ''EkibastOus, the greatest wheat producing province in Siberia, with large stocks of wheat, lying less than 100 miles away, is living from hand to mouth as it is practically impossible to transport the wheat for lack of strap iron with which to make tires for wagon wheels.
 The continued increase of wages in the industrial and manufacturing towns has raised the cost of iron steel, clothing, boots and other essen- tials of everything indeed that the l peasant wears and uses-and the peasant represents S5 per cent of tna

DRESS WARM AND
 KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Rid of
 Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, Sex, color or rank. If not the most oaEGarous of human affIictions it is one of ii=e most painful. Those sub ject to rheu.natism 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 in 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 dou- ble work, they become weak and slug gsh and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps aCcumulating and circu- lating through the system, eventually settling in tn joints and muscles 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 glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This IS said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus riddin the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes nd lemon juice, combined with lithia ; i'd is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, effervescent Whitewater drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

population of the country-to 2O ana even 50 times their normal value. The town workers, or 15 per cent. of the population however, would not per init the Soviet government to raise the maximum prices fixed for food. This one-sided legislation not unnat- urally incensed the peasant. While he had to pay 20 and 50 times the normal price for all esseniaI com modities produced by the industrial workers in the towns, he received only about double the normal pre- war. price for the produce of his own labor.
 Therefore, the peasant sits tight on his grain. He refuses to sell wheat to the Bolsheviki at the requl- sition price of 1 F cents a pound when he can sell it at 96 cents pound or even more. When it can be got. bread today in Petrograd or Moscow is 16 rubles or more a pound. The peasant is willing to barter his food for cloth, steel, textiles and other necessaries, but the industrial workers have ruined industry. Noth- ing is being produced, there is noth- ing to barter with. The peasants have large accumulatOns of paper money but this is of no VaGue for they can buy nothing with it. Meanwhile the peasants are hoarding their produce. Tn sense then the peasant is master of the situation. He has the food, the townspeop1e have not. The Bolshevili have tried with varying success to take wheat and other pro duce by force to feed the proletariat of the towns, but neither the Germans in the Ukraine as they have found to their cost, nor the workmen in the l towns can get food from the Russian peasant if he does not choose to let them have it."
