URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a Little Salts i'm water May Save
You From Dread Attack

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to
cure. states a 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 direst result of eating
too much meat and other rich foods that
produce uric acid which is absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the kid
neys 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 closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate the uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating 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 tablespoonful in a glass
of water and drink before breakfast each
morning for week. This is said to elm
mate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys
to normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities
Jad Salts is inexpensive harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and is used
with excellent results by thousands of
folks who are subject to rheumatism

NEW YORK, Jan. Esd ''Stran-
gler" Lewis of San Jose, Cal, success
fully defended his worlds heavyweight
catch-aS-catch- wrestling title last
night by throwing Earl CaddOck, a for
mer champion, in one hour and 81 MIN
utes. Lewis won with combined head
and hip lock.
The final fall was dramatic climax
TO one of the most terrific mat struggles
ever seen in the East. Caddock appeared
to be the winner up to within one min
ute of the finish.
After an hour and a half of wrestling
CaddoCk gained a terribly punishing toe
hold and for one minute and 10 seconds
he struggled to force LewiSS shoulders
to the mat The champion in his agony
beat the floor with his fists and cried
aloud, but his voice was drowned in the
terrific uproar for CaddOck. The former
soldier was a tremendous favOrite with
! the 10000 spectators who watched the
contest.
Twice Referee George Bothner asked
| Lewis if he would quit, but twice he re-
| fused. although his face was distorted
entirely out of human semblance, and
streams of perspiration were pouring
| from his face.
With a last desperate effort he kicked

! punishment which Caddock had received
| left him helpless and he collapsed on his

When Lewis rolled off from Caddocb
the latter lay like dead man on the

! Scrambled through the ropes to his AS
siStance it was all they could do to lift
him to his feet. \ chair was placed be-

he rolled to the floor again and a call
was made for a doctor.
This drove the crowd TO a frenzy, for
