Aches and Pains of Rheumatism
Sometimes Almost Unbearable.

There are weather conditions that
make rheumatism worse. They are
not the same in the cases of all per-
sons. Some victims of this disease
suffer more in dry warm weather
than in moist cold weather, but all
suffer more or less all the time.
The cause Of rheumatism is an ex-
cess of uric acid in the blood, affect
ing the muscles and joints. Hence
the blood must have attention for
permanent results in the treatment OF
this disease.

earlier at the %postofice.
This request applies mainly to firms

mailing list. If these firms deposit
the bulk of their mail at the office
longer before train time it will give
both the dealers and others a better
mail service, according to Mr.. Dunlap.

made early the force has an oppor-
tunity to sort the matter and conse-
quently has more time for handling

When large deposits are made
shortly prior to train time the postal
employees do not have time to sort
the mail matter and consequently 1t
must often be held until the mex
