The lands were taken just out- side of the provisional boundary line of the forestry reserve and the Neils Lumber company only finished cutting the timber off last week. The Mor law says that as soon as the timber is cut off the lands shall be opened tohome- stead entry, but as action by tae mterior department is required before entries will be received by the land office here, people had been waitng for such action. Good legal authorities contend that the squatters will be able to stick until the time for filing, so acquiring a preference right to {the land. Ten thousand acres of land near this city are now subject to the sameaction andthis amountis daily being increased by logging operations. - This rush it is be- leived, will hasten official action on the agriculutral land of the re- servations and cause their open- ing within the next sixty days.

Most people have an idea that rheumatism s contracted like a cold, that the damp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible aches and pains, or that it is something like a skin disease to be rubbed away with lini- ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuematism originates in the blood and is or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in mus- s , producing inflammation and soreness and the sharp, cutting s peculiar to this distressing discase. Exposure to bad weather or sudden chilling of the body will hasten an at- tack of Rheumatism after the blood and system are in the right condition for it to develop, but have nothing to do with the real ‘true causes of Rheumatism, which are internal and not external.
