UTe, keep feet dry. eat less meat, drink
lots of water and above all take a spoon
full of salts occasionally to keep down
uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin. called uric acid. which is generated
in the bowels and absorbed into the blood.
1t 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 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 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 a week. This is said to
eliminate 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.

UPHOLD HONOR
OF
Miss Evelyn Harris and Fred III. Harris
Win Hare and Hounds Races at
Lake Placid Club

In the Hare and Hounds race run Feb.
- under the auspices of the Sno Birds
of the Lake Placid club at Lake Placid,
n. Y. Miss Evelyn Harris of Brattleboro
won first place in the ladies' class, with
Miss Betty Walmsley of Washington sec
ond.
In the mems class Fred H. Harris of
Brattleboro won first with c. G. Patterson
of Harvard second and K. Whittlesey
third. There were II entered IN the
mems events. Mr.. Harris was handi-
capped and was not allowed to start
until two minutes after the rest had
gone.
The Hare and Hounds race is considered
one of the unique and most interesting
The hares start 10 minutes ahead
of the hounds and leave a trail of con-
fetti behind them. There were 0
blind leads in the race.
The leader of the race comes to a point
where three confetti trails lead away.
He guesses that one is the right one and
follows it for perhaps a quarter of a mile
only to find a red flag at the end of it
which signifies it is a blind lead. He then
has to retrace his steps to the main trail
and try again. Other racers coming up
from the rear seeing the leader retracing
his steps do not go out the blind lead
and are thus saved all this distance. In
this way, the race does not always go to
the swiftest.
The hares often go around loops and
double on their own tracks. In a recent
race a girl of l. years won first place
against a field of fast ski runners. 1t is
the uncertainty of the race which makes it
interesting. In winning both first places
and Fred Harris well upheld the
honor of BrattlebOro.

He longed to find the road to fame,
But not highway bore that name.
He thought TO glory there must be
A level path that she should see; @
But every road to which he came
Possessed a terrifying name m
He never thought that fame might Turk
Along the dreary path called Work.

He passed the road to Service by.
Yet had he taken either way
He might have come to fame some day.
