given on Friday night the delegates

that prevailed. One feature Of en-

gia on the map there before all those
Northern and Eastern and Western
delegates. Georgia had the largest
number of delegates, even going

My city is the place where
my home is founded, where
my business is situated,

\ Gated, where my neighbors
dwell, and where my life is

\ 1t is the home spot for me.
My city has right to my
4 civic loyalty. 1t supports me
and | must support it.
My city wants my citizen

4 ference.
My city supplies me with
law and order, trade, friends,

| and the rights of freedom
J. American. | should believe
in my city and work for it,

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers Eat
Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure. states a well-known authorl-
tv. We are advised to dress warm
"; keep the feet dry; avoid expo
sure; eat less meat, but drink plenty
of good water.
Rheumatism is direct 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 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 kidneys to do d
Bile work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric
acid which keeps accumulating 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 tour
ounces of lad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in a glass OF water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action. thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid OF grapes
and lemon juice, combined wit
lithia and is used with excellent re-
suits by thousands of folks who are
subject to rheumatism. Here you
have a pleasant. efervescent lithia-
water drink which helps overcome
uric acid and is beneficial to your
kidneys as well.
