Rheumatism come from an excess of uric acid in the blooa. This add

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

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."
