Says .we must keep feet dry ; avoid
exposure and eat
less meat.
Stay off tlic damp ground, avoid ex
posure, keen feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and 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
pores of the skin arc also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints am
muscles causing stiffness soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts ; put a tablespoonful
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus ridding the blood of these impur
ities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is- made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, comlilned with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.

The county nnr.se has practically
devoted all her attention for the past
two months of December and .lanu
ary to the work in Medford. There
have been a great many calls made
at (he homes, and for the month of
.! unitary considerable bedside nurs
hij;. The next ten days will be spent
in and around Ashland, with speci-il
work in the three schools of that city.
Kvery day, particularly during
those days when sickness in many
different forms requires skilled nurs
ing care, the county nurse realizes
how totally inadequate her best ef
forts are to meet the demands upon
her.
Home day, .Medl'crd will have its
own school nurse, its own visiting
nurse, and they will both be kepi
busy. A school nurse is an econom
ical asset to any community, and the
visiting nurse Koks after the bedside
care of those who need her ministra
tions. .Mrs. Lee desires to thank everyone
who has helped her in her work this
past month. Many a kindly act of
social serice has been performed
that will never be recorded. Oh. it is
tbesocalled "lime things" that make
life the easier to bear, ami the bur
dens easier to carry.

What country in the world can
out rank Wogne river vallev in
grapes, loganberries, black berries,
M ra wherries, etc., and particularly
our wonderful , apples. pears,
peaches, etc. In a great variety ol
vegetables we excel. All of these
products are. found to be unexcelled
assets in other parts of this state
where they have facilities for hand
ling them. At Salem, for instance,
is a great dehydrating plant being
largely increased in enpucitv to meet
the rapidlv increasing demand for
dehydrated fruit and vegetables. The
Willamette valley has numerous
plants for the preparation of various
kinds of berrv juice and fortunes
are being made in these lines.
Fruit raisers in Uoirue river val
ley complain of disadvantage for
want of competition in freight lines
for marketing their produce. It is
a' well known fact that dehydrated
fruit and vegetab-s are relieved of
the great amount of their weight
without loss to their duality as food
material.
Now I have a suggestion. Kog-ue
river vallev ought to have a berry
juice factory and a delivd rating
plant: then put out berries and veg
etables to supply these factories. In
a very short time hundreds, perhaps
thousands ,f acres now unemployed
in oid of the way places as well as
throughout the vallev would soou

world as did the flaminglv labeled
beer bottles work the same miracle
for Milwaukee.
Sams vallev is tributary to Gold
Hill and has thousands id' acres suit
able for these products when water
is placed on it. Water, water, that
musical, precious fluid intended !)v
tlie Almighty to make everv desert
blossom like the roe. is plentiful and
pellucid in the beautiful river that
ings pat this land on its way to
the ocean.
There seems hut two classes of
people that we run up against when
we commence to tall; about irrigat

river a chance. One is the complain
