Says We Must Keep Feet Dry. Avoid
Exposure and Eat Less Meat

Stay OF the damp ground, avoid ex-

keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poison
Gus 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.
Tho 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 slug
sish and fail to eliminate this uric
acid which keeps accommodating and
circulating through the system even
tually settling in tho joints and mus
cles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts: put table,
spoonful 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

SHEEP and Wool Growers
Assn. Going into ArooetoOk

The farmers of Aroostook county
are becoming much interested in the
Maine Sheep and Wool Growers As
ISOLATION, both as a means of market
ing their wool and in getting their
supplies made from virgin Maine
wool. Charles H. Crawford, secretary
of the association, is to meet the
Aroostook Farm Bureau at Houlton
on Thursday, Jan. rs. to complete
the plans for organising several local
branches of the association in that
county. Said Mr.. Crawford:
1--WE have received several, yes
numerous inquiries from wool pro-
ducers of that section regarding the
workings Of the association and the
demand for the finished goods has
grown to such an extent in that
county that 1t seems advisable to
broaden the work and scope OF our
association by doing this.
"The farmers of Aroostook have
taken a keen interest in the market
ing Of these goods, which is indicated
by the many orders from Grange
stores and individual parties for
blankets, pants and suits. Aroostook
county, having the largest number
of sheep of any county in the State.
feels anxious to get behind the as
ISOLATION, feeling that 1t will be the
solution of the marketing problem for
their wool. 1t is the plan Of the as
ISOLATION to establish agencies in
every part of Arc ostook during the
year 1922 and, Judging by the de-
mand for the various lines Of goods,
that county will be a wonderful out
let for the products.
The bed blankets made by the as
ISOLATION have proved to be especial
ly attractive, as they possess a quail
ity and appearance not found in any
except made of high quality OF
wool. Large quantities have been
shipped all over the New England
states, Massa chusetts and Connect
cut being the largest purchasers out
side Of Maine. Many have gone to
New York. New Jersey. Washington,
d. c.. and Chicago.
THE demand for sutings is grow
ing rapidly and it is expected that
the large shipment expected this
week will find ready market.
1.-The association is planning to
complete the final payment for the
1920 clip of wool in a few days and
as the manufacture of the 1921 clip is
we'll under way, it is expected that it
will be possible to settle fpr this by
early spring. Members generally are
taking a very active interest in the
marketing Of the finished goods. This
eliminated the expense Of selling and
makes it possible to return a larger
price to the producer.
THE wool market is much brighter
just now and without doubt the de-
mand for good sheep will increase
rapidly during the next year"
