DRESS WARM IND
KEEP FELT DRY
Tells rheumatism Sufferers to Take
Salts and Get Rid of
Uric Acid.

Rheuma tism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure, and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the 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 i'm
purity 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 this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circula ting 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 tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor
NAL action. thus Kidding the blood of
these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, ,kombined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant effervescent Hthia water drink
which overcOmes uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as WE'LL

NAVAL STORES
PRICES TUMBLE
FOREIGN SITUATION BELIEVED
CAUSE OF UNUSUAL ACTION
OF SPIRITS MARKET.

Naval stores on the Jacksonville and
Savannah markets, on which local
prices are based, have taken a tumble
in the last 4S hours, turpentine from
1864 to 1.S8 with no demand. Rosin
has dropped from cents to $3.50 a
barrel in some grades.
AT this season of the year when
the old stocks are practically gone
upward. 1t did that this year, the
price going to s1.96 q gallon for tur-
pentine, the highest price ever known
here. But in ordinary times the price
remains at its high level without any
appreciate loss until nearly April,
when the new stocks begin to come in.
The reason for the unusual action
of the market this year is believed
to be the condition Of foreign ex-
change. There has been practically no
foreign demand for naval stores since
February 5 when the British pound
sterling reached its lowest point.
For some weeks it was believed in
the local naval stores market that tur-
pentine would go to So a gallon but
Mondays drop almost precludes that
possibility. However, should foreign
exchange steady mad a demand come
in the price might re-ascend.

away the first officer had disappeared
while the captains form was hanging
to the lee rigging.
Like nadmen the crew set to work
to clear away the foremost, while one
of the a. BIS and l carried the captain
aft to his cabin. He was unconscious
and as far as I could see, as good as
dead. His skull was fearfully smashed,
his left arm was broken, he barely
seemed to breathe. I laid him in his
bunk, covered him up, and went up on
deck again. In a few minutes we
would be making that island, but now,
with both the captain and the first Of

there was no one left on board who
knew that channel. The second Off
Ger had taken the wheel but I could
see from his face that he had no hope
of getting through. For five min
utes I stood there. then I saw him
grip his teeth and brace himself. We
were almost there.
Just then 1 became aware OF a fig
ure by my side, and the captain APP
peared before my unbelieving eyes.
Without a word he took the wheel
from the second officer. His face was
terribly pale and clothed with blood.
There was a PARKWAY look in his eyes
as without hesitation he handled the
wheel, turning it now one way, now
the other as we proceeded along the
channel. In that raging sea, he
achieved a feat of seamanship that
will never be able to express in words
All the time. he never spoke word TO
us. Indeed he seemed utterly una

But he was dead, and what was more.

Mr.. Milligan stated that tax payer
came into his office yesterday with
his invested capital computed, as he
believed it to be. and the excess
profits tax figured on the invested
capital Upon examination of the tax
payers balance sheet Mr.. Milligan dis
covered that the corporation had failed
10 include. as invested capital, his
surplus amounting to about $4,000.
II the tax payer had paid his tax with
out consulting the local revenue office.
he would have overpaid his taxes to
the amount of $4,000. This would
necessitate correspondence with Col
lector Cathcart's office in Jackson
Vile and possibly a long time would
have elapsed before the corporation
secured the refund for over payment.
Many such errors, and others not quite
SO simple, would be eliminated if the
local collectors office was consulted.

has been possible of course, to look
through ones body and make pictures
Of living organs, but now every move
ment Of every part Of the body may
be reproduced on the screen. The
slightest movement Of the heart, the
muscles, Joints, intestines and lungs
can be watched for hours at time.
Such pictures are expected to be Of
the greatest Importance to medicine
and surgery and make possible many

made so far of animals only but hu-

stration. A lighted lamp was first
placed In the tiny structure and Ia

into the model building with pair
