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 ofthe kidneys to
filter this acid from the blood and
cast it out in the urine. the pores
of the skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly cold weath er
the skin pores are closed thus fore

TALBOT TOMATO men
AGREE TO LOWER PRICES
Growers Meeting In Easton To
q Thrash Out Situation Draws
Large Crowd. 25 Gents A Bias
ket Is Rate.

Easton. Md, Aug21-Hundred of
men were present at the meeting in
the courthouse here this afternoon
| for the purpose of discussing the to-
mato situation Standing room
was at a premium and all the eRwd
was unable to get inside. tn TO-
mato question was eventually cd
by agreeing on cents q baSssa
baskets furnished by the cams II
this price cannot be obtained he
crop will be plowed under, it was
said The price agreed on at Hur-
lock over week ago was so cents.
Royce Spring, in calling the meet
ing to order, stated that the object
was to arrive at some concerted
agreement on the sale of tomatoes.
He asked for the opinion of those
farmers who had contracted and the
price they were getting. Three or
four were present who had contract
ed for so cents a basket, but virtu-
ally the entire assembly was at the
mercy of the open market it develop
ed.
Mr.. Spring said that he thought
the packer was not to blame for the
present situation, and if 2 price be
agreed upon it should be within fea-
son.
Better to name a price the pack
ers can pay and all stick to it," he
said, than to name figure too
high, which the packers will not pay,
and have the farmer forced to sell
eventually at any price offered
Many took occasion to score the
packer, and the question was raised,
Why does a Gamer pay SO cents a
basket one week and rs cents the
next? 1t was stated that one Talbot
concern did this, the reason being
that the price dropped as soon as
the tomatoes became plentiful.
Henry P Turner, 4 Gamer as well
as a farmer, told of the Gamers
side. He told how the California
packer can buy tomatoes at SIS a
ton from farmers that grow Is tons
to the acre against 4 tons raised
here.
He scored the farmers for the care
| less way in which the tomatoes are
picked and delivered 20 the canning
house. On account of farmers re-
fusing to contract, he said no
futures were sold because the cost
price could not be ascertained.
About 125 farmers signed a mem
bership list and then proceeded 10
elect officers. John Arringdale was
| chosen president, Robert Cooper vice
president and Mckenzie Colds
| borough secretary and treasurer.
| These officers were authorized to Sc

meeting to be held next Saturday a

FIRE ON STEAMBOAT
BLAMED ON CIGARETTE
b. {. n A, Official Believes CarIess
Smoker Responsible For Blaze On
Old Point Comfort.

\ careless thrown cigarette is be-
| IIeVed responsible for the fire which
wrecked the steamer Old Point Com
! fort OF the Baltimore, Chesapeake,
, aud Atlantic Steamship Company at
! her dock alongside Pier l, Pratt
street, early yesterday morning.
The old side-wheeler, which has
| been in service more than 80 years
without an accident is lying IN about
Il feet Of water near the end of the
pier. Her hull is intact, but her in
terror is a mass of chaTred woodwork,
and before she can be put i'll service
she will have to be practically re-
built.
\, H. Seth, superintendent of the
line, yesterday declared he was IN
able % estimate the damage. The
ship when built cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, but officials admit
That it will be impossible TO dupn
cate even the hull for that amount.
Pending an investigation by insur
ance agents, no plans can be an
nounced as to rebuilding the boat,
Mr.. Seth said.
The Old Point Comfort has been
used as a Relief Boat by the line.
She has not been on any regular run
for some time Her last relief
run was Friday when she made a
trip to Claiborne in place of the Cam
bridge. When the fire broke out,
according TO Mr.. Seth, there was no
freight ABOARD, neither was there any
steam in the boilers.
On this account he is inclined 10
believe a cigarette must have been

Two or three colored boys were the
only members of the crew supposed

were sleeping aboard.
The fire was discovered at 2.40 by
