MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
spoonfuko of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated 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 means OF
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys 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 tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
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 thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.

HOGGING THE GASOLINE
FILLING STATIONS

Independent gasoline retailers over
the country are viewing with some
anxiety the entertainments of the re-
timers into the retail field. Florida
seems to have been chosen as a field
in which to demonstrate the feast
bility of the refiner entering into the
retail bus ness, and in number of
communities the Standard Oil is con-
structing filling stations, choosing
the best locations and putting in sta
tions that are modern and sure to
take very large portion of the bust
ness.
Two such filling stations are
either already under construction in
Palatka or soon will be. The first
of the two is about completed. Ma
terial for the second has been assem-
bled, and as soon as the oil trust
contractors finish putting in sim
liar station at Palatka they will put
in the second one here. In this con-
nection the Tampa Tribune some
days ago sounded a warning to indie
pendent dealers who contemplate put
ting in expensive filling stations, and
in yesterdays issue follows up this
warning with a statement by Stand
ard Oil official that serious competi-
;fion between the Standard and a
western concern may mean gaso-
line war which would be disastrous
to the independents.
The Tribune says 'the fact estab-
lished, then, that there is to be plenty
of competition in the handling of
gasoline in Florida. Certainly if the
"irumor" that a "Western gasoline
company is preparing to put in
chain of stations in Florida" was well
enough verified to cause the biggest
of all the oil companies, Standard Oil,
with its 80 subsidiary companies, to
buy locations all over the state to
meet the competition of that "West-
ern company, it should be authentic
enough to be warning to private in
diyiduals to look out for their own fu-
ture. The Standard Oil company is
not after the privately owned sta
tions" it sells gas to them 1t needs,
and seeks, their friendship; but it
win not brook serious opposition from
4 formidable rival as that western"
company seems to be. So it is fair to
assume that if they both do begin OPP
Grafton in the country, there will be
some fight before it is settled.
