BHEUMfin M DL00D FILLED VITH imiC ACID Rheumatism come from an excess of uric acid in the blooa. This add circulating- through tha system acts as an irritant to the different muscles, nerves, bones and tissue of the body, and produces the inflammation and welling of the joints and the sharp, cutting pains characteristic of the dis ease. When the blood is overburdened with uric acid it continually grows weaker and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing qualities. Then Rheuma tism becomes chronic, and not only a painful, but a formidable aad danger ous disease. ..

HOW POMEROY WENT "DRY." Banners Borno by Children Carried the Day. A correspondent at Pomeroy writes as follows of the means by which that town was carried by the prohibition IsU: ' Pomeroy went dry. Such was the result of yesterday' election, there being S3 majority voting against the Issuance of any license to expire after March 31. 1909. The change of sentiment on the day of election was wonderful. Three week ago there was undoubtedly 60 majority wet. The children's parade yesterday on Main street changed many votes. The parade was headed by 15 young ladies, and children fol lowed according to age down to the tlnleBt tot. Many banner appeared appealing to the voters, the last one In the pa rade being carried by a little tot two or three years old, which read, "Vote for me, papa." The long parade si lently conducted had It effect, and tears welled to the eyes of many In the big crowd that witnessed the pro cession. After the parade the temperance people could notice a change and took on hope. They redoubled their efforts with the result that the sub stantlal majority of 33 resulted. Many men who drink to excess worked hard for the dry side and the majority must be attributed to the men who pa tronize the saloon. As there was but one ticket in the field there was no contest between men, as they pledged themselves to do the will of the people on the sa loon qustion. H. C. Krouse was elect ed mayor and N. O. Long, Dan McRae and Geo. J. Ruark were elected coun oilmen. MRS. EDDY IS 87. Cele- Ttounder of Christian Science bratee Birthday. Boston, July 17. Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Bddy, founder of Christian Science yesterday celebrated her 87th blthday. Admirer and followers of the famous religious leader In all parts or the world sent telegraph and cable messages of congratulation. Mrs. Eddy speht the day quietly In her handsome house In Chestnut Hill. Re cent rumors to the effect that she Is seriously 111 are denied and her pri vate secretary declares that she is wonderfully vigorous, mentally and physically, for one of her years. Mrs. Eddy's followers declare that their leader has been persistently mis represented by a prominent New York newspaper, especially as regards her physical and mental health. When this journal recently declared that she was 111, because she had failed to take her customary drive, Mrs. Eddy la- sued the following eaustlo public statement: "Since Mrs. Eddy Is watched, as one watches a criminal or a sick person. she begs to say. In her own behalf. that she Is neither; therefore to be criticised or judged by either a dally drive or a dignified stay at home, Is superfluous. When accumulating work requires It, or because of a preference to remain within doors she omits her drive, do not strain out gnats or swal low camels over It, but try to be com posed and resigned to the shocking fact that she Is minding her own business, and recommends this sur prising privilege to all her dear friends and enemies."
