Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts and Get Esid of
 Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of ag7, sex, color or rank If not the most dangerous of human afflichOns it is one of the most painful Those sub ject 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. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it 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 clos ed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- bic work, they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circu- lating 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 lad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for g week This IS said to eliminate uric acid by stimula ting the kidneys tc normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities

The following is an address defiv- cred before the Tri-State Wholesale Groeers' Association recently by W. B. CoIver Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission:
 "AS matters stand now >our export trade is seriously threatened by ad- verse rates of foreign exchange. The curtailment of export means the cur tailment of production here. The curtaiIment of production here means involuntary idleness, and while over production might mean perhaps a temporary lowering of the price struc- ture, it would mean also a reduction of the payrolls which provide the needed money with which to buy necesSarieS.
 ':At the end of the civil war the United States found itself in much the same position as Europe finds it. self today. Its industries were dis organized. Its manpower was dep1e- ted. It's credit was overstrained. It lay bleeding and prostrate. 'Following the civil war Europe ans became very great investors in our great transportation and indus 1 trial enterprises, so that by 1914 more than s1o,o00, ,0O0,OO of gilt | edged American securities were in

FIND WEALTH IN WINTER
Canadian Farmers Turn Winter
Months to Good Account.

Large crops and good prices for the
wheat, oats, barley and flax from Ca
madam farms have made the winter
resorts in California at times resemble
a meeting OF a Canadian farmers in
stitute, but the practice among sue
cessful farmers of spending their vim
tiers holidaying seems to be on the
wane. After all, nothing can be more
tiresome than having nothing to do,
and the farmers of Western Canada
are now finding winter employment
right on their farms which rivals the
attractions of the sunny South.
Live stock is the explanation, ac-
cording to a Six-foot Westerner who
dropped into the Canadian Government
Information Bureau at 81 Jackson
street. st. Paul. He was on his way
back to Western Canada with car
load of selected breeding stock which
had carried off blue ribbons at several
state fairs in 1919. "NVe have found,
said he, shat there is just as much
pleasure and great deal more profit
in developing herd of prize stock .as
in listening to the murmur of the sad
sea waves. Where we used to grow
grain exclusively now we are raising
stock as well. The fact that steers
raised in Western Canada took the
grand championship at the Interna.
tional Live Stock Show at Chicago two
years in succession shows how well we
are getting along. And instead of de-
pleting our bank rolls we add a tidy
sum to them"
''But don't you find the life monoto.
nous?"
mot in the least. You see, we have
a rural club which meets in our
school house, where we thrash out all
kinds Of problems. Here we exchange
ideas and also have occasional talks
from government experts. and the man
who goes abroad for the winter only
realizes how much he has missed when
at a summer picnic he hears an adj
dress by neighDor that would do
credit to college graduate.
''It was at one of these meetings
that we decided to import a prize
winning stallion, and today our dis
trict is raising some Of the best draft
horses in Canada. The carload of
breeding stock which I am now ship
ping to my farm is indirectly the re-
suit of our club meetings. We are
going to make that little corner of
Saskatchewan one of the big stock
centers of America. Why shouldn't
we? Everything is in our favor-cli-
mate fertility. cheap land, free graz
ing land adjoining lots of farms,
creameries, government supervision.
You know how energetic the northern
climate makes man? Well, it's just
like that with stock. They get to be
great, husky fellows, hardy and big
framed-and that counts on market
day.
"Come up and see me some time"
were his parting words as he left to
catch his train. "I'll show you some
Of the finest land and live stock out Of
DOORS and treat you to a real farm
meal-everythin but the coffee and
sugar grown right on my farm. That
counts some in these days Of high
prices. ''-Advertisement

In what is destined to De the last

of William Hohenzollern, which had

war, is on it's way to the United
