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
spoonful 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 Whitewater drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as WELL

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Macon, Georgia, April 4, 1922.

Macon, Georgia, April 4, 1922.
Editor, Times-Recorder. Upon
seeing in a recent issue of your pa
per very severe arraignment of
the meat markets in Americas as a
whole, called upon our Americas
manager for report and an explain
alton. He sent me copy of your
local inspectors report, which while
far from being up to the standard
we are endeavoring to establish in
your city, still showed that our mar
ket was not guilty of any of the
things referred to in your story.
We are very strict about the clean
Illness and service in our markets,
and the quality of goods they sell
In Macon the local inspectors have
voluntarily informed US that the ten
Nash markets in this city are most
sanitary and the best kept places
under their jurisdiction. The home
office has just taken over the active
management of the market in Amerl-
Gus and is rapidly bringing it up to
the standard of the other Nash mar
kets the first steps being better
lighting and more efficient screen
ing which have-Just been attended
to. | have been planning a personal
visit to Americas to look after fur
ther improvements in person, this
trip will probably be made some time
next week-just as soon as | can
get away from Macon.
In fact we are working out our
plans right now for a complete re-
organization of our Americas mar
ket which will be followed by an
aggressive publicity campaign SINH
lar to that used locally, so you can
readily see why we are interested in
the Americas situation particularly
at this time.
| feel sure that your story was
only laudable efofrt to correct a
lamentable condition which demand
ed the attention of a conscientious
newspaper, but Internationally the
generalities and insufficient informa-
ton of hurried newspaper man
harmed us-it not only was Injurious
to our business, but was a severe
blow to our own pride and most all

GIRLS CLUB WORK
FORGING AHEAD

With the farm weather now at
hand, Miss Bonnie Parkman, county
home economics agent, is urging the
club girls to push their garden wUlS
forward, and is offering some very
helpful suggestions for the prepare
ton and planting of the seeds.
Miss Parkman says that as soon as
all danger of frost is over, the seeds
should be sown and the plants placed
in the ground to be rushed to matur-
ity. This early planting and atten-
ion is advised in order that the in
sects and various pests may have no
opportunity to interfere with the
growing process.
Many calls are being had at the Of
ice of Miss Parkman for soup mix
,ures, canned vegetables of all kinds,
preserves and jellies, to be put up by
he canning club gifls of Sumter
county Already the fame of their
products has spread abroad through
The medium of the county and state
fairs. and Miss Parkman regards this
as an important factor in increasing
enthusiasm in club work The cost
If preserving and canning, she states,
will be reduced this year, because of
l decrease in the price of tin cans and
glassware, which can and should be
purchased here in Americas.
Strawberries, which are now rapid
ripening, should be preserved and
iellied, and a ready market is open
for this product.
The offering of many valuable
OriZeS nv the counties and state
hould be an inducement for the can

That is the thought so often expressed
in letters recommending Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. These wo-
men know what they have suffered, they
describe their symptoms and state how
they were finally made well. Just plain
statements, but they want other women
to be helped.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a medicine made from medi-
cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs,
to relieve the sickness women so often
have, which is indicated by backache,
weak feelings, nervousness, and no am
bition to get anything done or to go
anywhere. 1t has helped many women.
Why not try it?
