Heavens in February
By WILLIAM F. RIGGE.
There is nothing of unusual interest
transpiring in the heavens this month.
Our brilliant evening star, Venus, has
disappeared from our western sky and
will soon again regain the same bril
liancy in the morning twilight before
sunrise. Jupiter crosses the meridian
on the 15th at 6:45 p.,m., and Saturn
rises on that day at 4:25 p. m. Both
are therefore in fine position for ob
servation. Mars rises on the 15th at
8:48 p. m. The moon is in conjunc
tion with Jupiter on the 18th, with Sa
turn on the 23d and with Mars on the
27th.
The days are increasing 1 hour- 7
minuets during the month, beine 10
hours 0 minutes long on the 1st.-10
hours 33 minutes on the 15th, and II
hours 7 minutes on the 28th. The
sun is from 36 to 38 minutes slow on
central time the whole month, so that
when our clocks' show 12 a. m. or 12
p. m., we have that much time to. wait
for the natural noon and midnight. On
the ivth the sun enters risces, the
Fish, the last sign of the zodiac.

"The Bohemians have an active pa

means get rid of dandruff, for it will

hundred times better. You can get

that ghastly story. It relates how the
Nabob Suraja Dowlah shut up 146
Britons, captured bv him in Calcutta
Fort, in a small, unventilated dungeon,
and how, after a night of agony from
heat, thirst and lack of air, only 23
were found alive next morning.
for more than 150 vears the storv
has been implicitly believed. Yet now
along comes Mr. Little and proves in
his "Bengal: Past and Present." not
only that it is not true, but that it
could not possibly be true.
Nine persons only were, it appears
from contemporary records, confined
in the "black hole," which was really
the common orison, and none of ths
suffered any very great inconvenience.
The remainder of the garrison, num
bering some 120, were either killed or
wounded in the fighting, and the lat
ter were treated by their conquerors
with every consideration.

. Fifteen years ago, ; in a
little North Carolina town,
a druggist discovered a
process of combining the
old-fashioned remedies
Camphor, Turpentine and
Menthol with certain vol
atile oils such as Eucalyp
tus, Thyme, Cubebs and
Juniper, so that, when ap
plied externally, the body
neat would vaporize "these
ingredients. These vapors,
inhaled all night long, carry
the medication, with each
breath, direct to the air
passages and lungs.
Today this vapor treat
ment, Vick's VapoRub, is
almost universally used
throughout the South in
preference to internal "dos
ing." It is quick in its ac
tion, and what is more im
portant, particularly to
mothers with small chil
dren, it is applied externally
and hence does not disturb
v the most delicate stomach.
Colds are easiest treated
at the beginning, and Vapo- 1
Rub makes the ideal pre
ventive for the entire family.

Why Chilly Weather
Brings Rheumatism
Say akin pores are closed and
uric acid remains
in blood.
Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human afflictions, it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible, -avoid
any undue exposure, and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid,
which is generated in the bowels aTid
absorbed, into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter- this
acid from the blood and cast it out
in the. urine; the jiores of the sjtjri
are also a means of freeing t'le blopd
of this impurity. In damn and chilly.

cold weather the skin pores are clos
ed, thus forcing the kidneys .to ; do
double work, they . become weak -and-"
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
uricr acid; which. keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles, causing1 stiffness, soreness -and
pain called rheumatism. .
At the first twinge of rheumatism ,
get from any pharmacy about if our
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespobn
ful in a glass of water and drink be

acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these .impurities. "
Jad Salts is inexnensive, harmless
and is 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 pleas
