RULES FOR GEORGIA
PRIMARY ARE FIXED

ATLANTA, May 18.-Rules gov
erning the state. primaries this year
were adopted Wednesday by the sub
committee with practically no changes
in the old rules, save those necessary
to bring them up to date and fixing
the assessments sufficient to meet the
actual expenses of holding the cleo
ton.
The state convention is called to
assemble in Macon October 4, at 10
o'clock a. M, unless there be a run
over primary, in which event, it is to
be held October II, at the same
hour.
BY law the date of the first pri-
mary is September IS, and, if run
over is necessary in the gubernatorial
race, that primary is to be held Oc-
tober 4.
Assessments were fixed at $3.50 on
each candidate for governor, and
$3.50 each on all other candidates
for state house offices, which is just
little above the last election as
sessments, in view of the fact that
there are fewer candidates to run
this year, and yet the expense will
be the same. Candidates other than
for governor were assessed $125
before.
The time limit for filing entries for
any of the races is fixed to close Ju-
ly l at midnight, eastern time, the
entry to be in the hands of the Sec
rotary, E. W. Jordan, at Sanders
vile, by that time.
The county executive committees
are to meet in the respective county
court houses at noon the day follow
ing the first primary, consolidate the
returns and declare the results.

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

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; 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 double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
ting in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
ful in 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 thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and IS bene-
fetal to your kidneys as we'll
