KEEP URIC ACID
 OUT OF JOINTS
Tell Rheumatism Sufferers To Eat Less Meat and Take
 Salts

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly: keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it ont in the urine; the pores of the skin ars also means Of freeing the blood of this inn purity. In damp and chilly wealth CT the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work. they becoming weak and sluggish and. fail 10 eliminate the uric acid which keeps aceamulat- ing and circulating through sthe system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rhcuma- tism.
 At the first twinge of rheuma- tism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts: put ta- blespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn ing for a week. This is said to stimulate the kidneys to normal action, thug .ridding the blood of these impurities.

Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithis water drink which helps oyercome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.

SYNOPSIS OF NEW PEARSON PLAY, "The LIAR"

The story of '.Fhe Liar" the play in which Virginia Pearson is appear ing at the Palace theatre tonight and Friday, is the story of a mothers fight to prove the falsity of a> charge that negro blood is in her veins and the veins of her expected child.

 The old maids are indignant at the article and set out to chastise the author but light on the wrong man the lad who is eloping with the girl. Finally the boy and the girl make it up-but whether they ever get mar ried, the author doesn't profess to know. Harold Goodwin is the lead ing man.

whole farm bureau structure.
Farm bureau development
in Colorado during the next
year must, therefore. see a
much better and greater or.
ganization of community COM
mittees in every county of the
State. Nor can we be content
with mere formal appoint
ment of committees. The
growth in farm bureau men,
bership, the interest developed
the influence a farm bureau
may exert, the entire results of
farm bureau work in any coun-
ty. depend almost entirely up
on the degree to which we de-
velOp and train the members
of community committees, to
work on the problems of a
community. We must, there
fore. revise our lists, encourage
more active leadership, and in
every way direct more effort
towards building up active,

The future of farm bureau
work in Colorado depends up
on this.

many people, but dried corn is the
equal If not the superior of canned
corn and can be used for practically
as wide variety of purposes. The
following directions for drying 1t are
those advised by the United States
department of agriculture.
Any Of the varieties of sweet corn
having qualities desirable for table

removed with the kernels. The glumes
or the hull attachments at the tip Of
the grains are easily screened out
after the corn becomes dry. Spread
the kernels upon trays to depth Of
one inch If drying is done in drler,
or One-eighth to five-eights inch If the
corn Is to be dried In the sun. Stir the
grains thoroughly several times dur
ing the drying to break up any COM
pact masses.
Sun Factor In Drying Corn.
1t is practically impossible to bring
corn to a sufficient degree of dryness
by the unaided heat of the sun. If
corn is dried in the sun it should be
finished by pouring into bread pans,
placing in the oven of the stove, and
warming to 16O degrees to 1G5 degrees
f. for two hours. Whether the dry
ing Is done in the sun, in cOOk-stove
drier, or in commercial drier, 1t
should be continued until the grains are
hard. semi-transparent. and will break
with clean, glass-like. fractures if
crushed.
Before storing free the corn of silks,
glumeS, and bits of cob. This may De
done by pouring the corn from one
vessel to another In strong draft.
When the corn is dry, store In closely
woven muslin bags or heavy paper
bags. Tie tightly at the neck and
place within large bag, which also
should be tightly tied.
Do not allow the drying process to
stop from the time 1t is started until
the corn is fairly dry. Corn is a
product which contains considerable
sugar and protein, and II the drying
process Is allowed to stop bacteria are
apt to develop and souring take place.
Protect 1t from insects. II sun drying
is interrupted by cloudy weather On
showers, remove corn to the stove and
continue drying or the product may
spoil.

WATCH LABELS ON BOTTLES
Poisons Should Be Kept Under Lock
and key-Antidotes to
Be Used.

(By United. States Public Health Service.)
Accidental poisoning may be pre-
vented to a very great extent by never
tasting or taking anything into the
mouth which is not plainly labeled.
1t Is also very wise to put all poisons,
when they must be kept on hand. in
a safe place and under lock and key.
Sudden and severe sickness shortly
after eating, drinking or taking medi-
cine in a person who has been In good
health, is often a symptom Of poison
ing.
If a number of persons who have
eaten the same food become seriously
Ill after a meal, 1t Is almost certain
that they are suffering from poison
ing, probably from that form of pois-
oning which is Cue to decayed. fer
mented or rotten food, and which Is
termed "ptomaine poisoning" Such
accidents should always be reported
% the department Of health for care
full investigation.
Send for a doctor at once. Direct
the messenger to tell the doctor that
the person has been poisoned and give
the name of the suspected poison II
possible. so that the doctor may bring
the proper antidote.
Do not wait for the doctor to arrive
but give an emetic to aid In Kidding
the body of the unabsorbed poison.
Warm water, mustard and water. salt
water ipecac or other common emetic
may be employed, or the patients
throat may be tickled to produce
vomiting. Do not waste time In look
ing up the proper dose Of an emetic
and repeat If profuse vomiting does
not result.

SALT PESKY FLEAS TO DEATH
Pests Usually Get Into House Through
Basement or Other Places Where
Dogs Sleep.

Last year was an unusually bad
year for fieas about houses. The time
is again at hand when. though the
voice Of the flea may not be heard in
the land his tickling will be felt in the
flesh-unless the simple preventive Is
applied. Fleas usually get into the
house from the basement or some
place where dogs or other animals
have slept. Make thorough clean
up. Then sprinkle the floor well with
salt and wet 1t down-not wet enough
to cause 1t to run. It may be neces-
sary to repeat this treatment two or
three times at intervals Of about three
days.

USE GREEN TOMATOES
TO MAKE MARMALADE
Recipe Given Out by Department
of Agriculture.
Caramel Flavor Given by Increasing
Heat At Very Last-Rind Of Lemon
and Orange Give Somewhat
Different Effect.

(By U. s. Public Health serv' 'ce).
To those who are fond of the pi-
quaint flavor Of green tomatoes In
made dishes. the following recipe for
marmalade, given out by the depart
ment Of agriculture, will be welcome
Green Tomato MarmaIade.

III cup Of syrup.
one-halr lemon and orange. or one
quarter cup sugar.
M lemons 90 ounces).
Wash and trim tomatoes, cut into
slices medium thick. Cut lemon and
orange into very thin slices. (Be
careful to pick out all seeds). Add
sirup and sugar. A small amount Of
salt (one-eighth to one-fourth tea
spoonfuD Is often considered advan-
tageous; here, as always, 1t renders
the sweet taste of sugar less cloying.
Boiling orange peel for a few min
utes in salted water prevents its
hardening later, when cooked in sirup.
Heat slowly, stirring until well
mixed, then simmer gently until the
tomatoes are soft and the marmalade
has the consistency of thick, heavy
jam. This will require three to four
hours. There should be about one
pint Of marmalade.
II a caramel flavor is liked, the
heat may be slightly increased at the
very last so that the Jam darkens at
the bottom next the kettle; but great
care must be taken not to Overdo this
effect as the jam is easily scorched.
A somewhat different effect may be
obtained by chopping the rind of
lemon and orange. At the end of the
long cooking process these bits OF
chopped rind seem much like chopped
nuts.
Orange flavor in preserves does not
last indefinitely. apart from the tang
of the rind. Consequently this mar
malade is best when only few days
or weeks old.
