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
wate.'.
Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating foo much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which
is absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid GjFi flic blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
:old 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 accumulating and circu
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles.
causing stin ness, soreness and pain
caned rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon-
tin in a glass or water and drink be-
lore Dreaktast each morning tor
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of thVse impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and i made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have' a
pleasant, effervescent lithia water
drink which helps overcome uric acid
and is beneficial to your kidneys as
well. Advertisement.
Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified co'coanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless) and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and it leaves the scalp soft and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months. Adv.
TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY
Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about us ajid is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very careful
in hair washing, -e will have virtually
no hair troubles. An especially fine
shampoo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of
the hair, that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt, can easily be used at trifling ex
pense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox (which you can
get at any druggist's) in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just ifti- cj o' the head. This chemi
call dissolves all impurities and cre
ates a soothing, cooling lather. Rins
ing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and pliant, while the hair takes
on the glossy richness of natural
colo", also a fluffiness which makes
it seem much heavier than it is. After
a canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is a pleasure. Advertisement.

ENDRE8 NOT ABLE
TO SLEEP NIGHTS
Burglar Alarm System at Court
House is Out of Order No
Deposit Vault,
ASKS AID OF THE COUNCIL
Treasurer Endres told the city
council committee of the whole that
he would not be able to sleep peace
fully if the city and soliool district
securities, amounting to approximate
ly $2,000,000, were kept in the court
house vaults.
Mr. Endres' mission before the city
commissioners was to secure approval
of a bill for $60, being the yearly rent
for a strong box in a downtown safe
deposit vault. This deposit box was
used by former treasurers and the
necessity of its use was considered
adversely by the city council in 1915
and again in 1916. -
Burglar Alarm Broken.
"The burglar alarm system at the
court house has not been in operation
for six months, explained the treas
urer, when asked why the new $1,000,
000 court house does not afford suf
ficient protection for the securities of
the tour branches ot city and county
government served by him.
How much cash do you carry over
night in your vault in the court
house?" was asked the treasurer.
'Between $5,000 and $8,000," he re
plied.
"I wouldn't sleep if I had that much
cash around, according to conditions
you describe," rejoined one of the city
commissioners.
The county and water district se
curities are protected lit another
downtown safe deposit box.
Another city commissioner re
marked that it was rather strange
that the burglar alarm system at the
new court house, was not in operation,
after thousands of dollars had been
expended for its installation.
In order that treasurer hndres
mav eniov undisturnea sleep tne city
officials will stand the expense of the
outside strong box, although the gen
eral opinion was that the court house
should provide ample protection for
these documents, which are not ne
gotiable. No New Cases of Spinal
Meningitis Reported
No new cases of crrcbra4 spinal
meningitis were reported to the health
office since last Friday, which situa
tion encourages the health commis
sioner in the belief that the disease is
not as prevalent as at first be'icvcd.
J he last case reported was Anna
Tubbs of 3915 North Twenty-first
street. She is 5 years of age and re
ported to be gradually recovering.
School children today were handed
circulars sent out by the school of
ficials, giving instructions and advice
in connection with preventive treat
ment and advising every child to gar
gle his or her throat.

MEAN HUSBAND OUTWITTED
After falling into the legal clutches
of Um:le Sam and being threatened
with deportation, Mrs. Helen Knezcr
ich, a Russian immigrant, and her
lover, Jovica Miljush, a Serbian em
ploye of a South Side packuig house,
arc now rejoicing in their new-found
knowledge that the Stars and Stripes
offer a chance to all who do right and
will be good citizens.
The woman is said to have deserted
a cruel husband in Montreal, because
her home life was unbearable. When
life again became happy for her here
and Cupid was negotiating an inter
national alliance, the husband in
Canada caused deportation warrants
to be issued.
Social Workers Help.
Mrs. Ahlquist and other social
workers here became interested in the
case, however, and serving ot the
warrants was postponed. Now M.
A. Coykcndall, immigration inspec
tor, has been authorized from Wash
ington to hold up the warrants and
allow the couple to prove themselves
morally capable ot Dctng good citi
zens.
For this purpose Mrs. Knezerich
and Miljush have been paroled to
Rev. Peter Ostiyachich, a Greek
Catholic priest, who is working at
the Swift plant, South Side. The
woman plans to get a divorce and
bring her 3-year-old baby here. She
had left it with a sister in Canada
when she fled from her husband.
