KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take Salts

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure. states a well-knoWn author
ity We are advised to dress warm
ly: 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 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 a table
spoonful 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 lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have a
pleasant. effervescent lithia- water
drink which helps overcome uric acid
and is beneficial to your kidneys as

What Do You Think Of II?

Aid to home builders on q national
scale. and in a manner similar to
that by which the Federal Farm Loan
Banks aid agriculture. has been sug-
gested to the Division of Public
Works and Construction Development
of the Department Of Labor by Pres
ident Keesler Of the United States
League Of Building and Loan Asso-
Citations. in order to interest the pub
lie in building during the transition
period from war to peace.
Building loan associations Of this
country. according to this plan. would
perform for workingmen much the
same service as that performed for
farmers by farm loan banks. Mort
cages made over to building and loan
associations, it is suggested. should
be rediscountable at Federal Reserve
Banks, in order that these associa-
tions might render most effective
service. At present, however. two
difficulties stand in the way: first. the
associations are not members Of the
Federal Reserve Bank system, and
have no capital stock and reserve
therein: second, the Reserve banks
are designed for handling CONNER
cial paper, not mortgages.
The solution of the first problem
suggested is that special measures be
taken to protect the Reserve banks,
and that the second be met by limit
ing the amount Of mortgages redis-
counted. AS an alternative. it Is
thought that the farm loan banks
might be authorized to accept mort
cages on homes as we'll as on farm
lands. Either method, it is thought.
would be preferable to the creation
of new organizations.
President Keesler has been in con-
ference with Franklin T. Miller, di-
rector, and other officers Of the Divi-
sion of Public Works and Construc-
ton Development. in the Department
of Labor. The building loan asso-
Citations are admirably equipped to
finance home building, and it is be-
lieved that they can assist greatly in

ed now to relieve congestion. The
restrictions on building due to the
war, and the gradual decline in build
ing for some years preceding the war.
have reduced the amount of housing
per capita in the United States to
figures below the normal for a num-
Der Of years.
The building and loan associations
for the country number 1850, with a
total membership of 3,s3s612. Their
total assets exceed $l.750. 900. 900.
Their receipts from all sources in 1917
were $4,000 900. and their cost of
doing business. $9.S00,00o. amounted
to only O.S Of l per cent. They are
semi philanthropic associations. and
officials are, moderately paid or I'M
paid. Losses are light because Of the
conservative basis on which loans are
made. Ordinarily, if a man owns a
lot Of ground, he may Immediately
obtain a loan for o-thirds the COM
bined value Of land and buildings.
These are some of the facts in one
Of the problems of readjustment.
They are worthy of consideration.
