Hold ;nmbllnK Lair Invalid. Attorney General Prout has handed down B decision that the gambling law of this state making gambling a felony Is Invalid and of no effect. The reasons given by the attorney general for his decidon are the name as mentlined In this column several days, ago w hen the matter first came up. lie holds that the title of the bill Is not proper. In that the body of the bill con tained wider matter than was shown by the title, and that all of the bill which was changed after It passed the senate, where t orlKinated, was not read three times In each house, as provided for In the consti tution. This decision leave. the old gam bling law, which provided a penalty of a lino of $100 or three months In jail, .still In force. The county attorney of York county wrote to the attorney general for the opin ion. A number of prominent Lincoln attorneys do not agree with the attorney general on Ms stand. Former County Attorney Mun gT, who fought out the whole thing In the local courts six or aeven years ago, aald that the attorney general certainly did not go entirely through the matter or he would not have arrived at such a conclusion. "I hive all the records, Including the sen ate and house bills, pasted togethet In my office and 1 not only believe the law to be good, but It has been ao passed upon by the district court. Judges Holmes and Hall hitting on the case. "Ullllngsley & Green, who defended the gambling caaea In ouestlon, raised the same point fully and briefed It to the court. After going through the whole record and the decisions of the courts on the question the two judges were unanimous In the opinion that the point raised was not a good one. The supremo court has never pro hibited either hou from amending the title of a bill passed by the other house, all Its prohibition being 'to the tffect that two different bills could not be passed. 551 WHAT TEA DOES TO RHEUMATICS. When you next take tea, think of this. Tea contains 176 grains of Urlo Acid In very pound. Meat contains only Ave to seven grains. Rheumatism Is Urlo Acid In ths blood. Uric Acid accumulates from food when the digestive apparatus cannot create enough Alkaline elements (like soda) to neutralise It. This Aold oollects urea, or worn-out waste matter, from ths system. That Urea enters ths blood when Alka line action has not previously dissolved It. By and by the waste matter reaches the Joints and muse leal through circulation of ths blood. There It gradually deposits In solid par ticles, like granulated augar. hese solid particles grind between ths ints and muscles at every movement. This grinding causes irritation and pain. These in turn may develop Inflammation and swelling. That inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. 8he proceeds to coat ths hard Uric par ticles over with cushions of pulpy muonus, like ths first healing strata of an outer sore. This pulpy covering grows to ths bone;, as well as to the particles deposited. There It hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then we have "bony Joints," almost inflexible, aid usually fixed In a beaded position, from the pain and Inflammation. That Is Rh.suma.tism at Its worst. It Is bad enough before It gets that far. There la but one sure way of curing Rheumatism. Ths first step Is to neutralise ths Urlo Acid already In the system. Next, to dissolve, snd carry away, the hard de posits that grind between the Joints. Then get the digestive apparatus Into such healthy condition that It will, unaided, pro duce less Uric Acid, snd more Alkaline. This is what doctors generally have failed to do. It la what I studied a lifetime to accom plish, and achieved only after many fail ures and thousands of experiments. At last I found, in Oermany, a Solvent which was not only effective, but abso lutely safe to use. Few agents powerful enough to be ef fective In Rheumatism are safe. My discovery, now railed "Dr. Bhoop's Rheumatic Cure," acts directly, but Inter nally, upon Urlo Acid In the Joints and muscles. It dissolves, and carries off, the painful deposits, producing an Immediate Alkaline condition of the blood, and neutralising the Acid In It which would have fed the Rheu matism and extends! the disease. It won't restore bony joints to flexibility, and it c-n t undo, in a week, the damoce caused by ytarj of rheumatic condition. Hut it will benefit every case, and It will entirely ure most rases of Rheumatism. Bo auia am I of this, that I will supply Pr. Snoop's Rheumatic Cure, to any sick one who writes me for It, on a month s trial, at my ruue. If it suco.eds. the cost to him Is only So 60 for the six bottle trestment. If It falls. I bear the whole cost myself And-he sJcne shall be the Judse-ehali decide who hall pay. Surely yuj will not continue to suffer when you can thus get well, at my risk. I have writ win an important Treatise on Rheumatism, telling of Its relief and cure. I I U free to Rheumatic people. Write me a card for It todav Address. Dr Bhonp, Box ii75. Racine, Wis. S.
