Since arriving i France

heard you say in regard to the

have come to the conclusion you
are right. l realize the dough-boy
has to keep that rifle shining, but
at that he has nothing on NJ. 7.

all we have to do is to keep them
shining, drill every day, drive a
truck every day and most Sun
days, keep the truck oiled and
shined. None of this they can
make you do, but, o boy! they
sure can make you wish you had.

the most painful. Those subject
Pumatism should eat less meat,
hs warmly as possible, avoid any
exposure and, above all. drink
bf pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
hich is generated in the bowels and
described into the blood. 1t is the func-
1tion of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast 1t 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
fall to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually settling
in the joints and muscles and causing
stiffness, soreness. and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about foui
ounces Of Jad Salts; put tablespoon.
full in glass Of water and drink be.
fore breakfast each morning for q
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
