E——————i—— URIC ACID IN MEAT BRINGS RHEUMATISM ys a little Salts in water save you from dread attack. Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known author- Ity. We are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Wheymatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is 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 are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly weather the skin pores aro tiosed thus forcing tthe kidneys to do double work, they, become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and sirculating = through the system, Laventually settling in the joints and ahgscles causing stiffness, soreness wnd pain called rheumatism, At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four punces of Jad Saits; put a tablespoon- ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a weeks This is said to eliminaté uric acid’ by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities.

This fact was brought out last night at a meeting of the board of public works, which dis- cussed a petition from the Corbin Screw corporation for relief from conditions caused by the High street sewer. At present sewage backs up into the company’s building becausc the sewer was not built at the proper grade. City Engineer Hall expressed the opinion that it would be neces- sary to build a new sewer in Grove street and as the screw corporation has already been assessed for the Grove street sewer and has not been given proper service the city may be forced to stand the major expense. It is probable that the Malleable Iron Works may be assessed for its proper share for the new sewer. The board voted to do away with the trolley sprinkling car for a year and allow the H. R. Walker company to sprinkle the streets in the trolley area. James F. Farrell, and Harry Sperry saw President E. N. Hum- phrey previous to the meeting and said they wanted to bid for the street sprinkling contract. They intended to do the sprinkling with automobiles. President Humphrey infermed them' that they were too late, as bids had been called for and opened a week or so ago. He did not consider the au- tomobile sprinklers feasable, anyway. Lines on Adams Street, W. S. Bacon appeared for a num- ber of property owners on Adams street, where it is proposed to estab- lish street, grade and building lines, and said he and the others were in favor of the board’s plans. Repre- sentative E. W, Schultz concurred in the board's view, Ag there was no opposition the lines were adopted. There was no opposition to the ex- tension of the Lawlor street sewer! A catch basin was ordered put in at McClintock road and Laurel street. Hamilton Street Accepted. City Engineer Hall produced a map showing the proposed taking of land for the widening of Hamilton street from the raijlroad to Hawley street. There was no opposition to the board’s plans for the acceptance of the street. It was voted to favor the installa- tion of a water main in Carlton street. John Holmberg asked for a cinder walk on Ash street and a hearing was ordered. Thorman Smith peti- tioned for the removal of a tree at Milk and Tremont streets, and it was referred to the city engineer. J. J. Erwin asked for permission to con- nect property on Erwin place with the Putnam street sewer and this was also referred to the city engineer. A query was recelved from the com- mon council asking when the exten- sion of Wilcox street will be in shape in for public use. As money s scarce it was laid on the table. The job would cast about $1,300. ’ Where Is “Adams’ Street? Grading and macadamizing of Adamg strect, petitioned for by prop- erty owners, was recommended to the council, Adams street was formerly Walker street, but was rechristened, it is said by Representative Schultz. It s listed in the estimates as Walker street and according to Corporation Counsel Cooper is a public way. “It was named Adams street about the time ‘Willie’ went up,” said Com- missioner Moore, referring to the elec- tion of Representative Schultz. Trees on Whiting street and at 395 Fast Main street were ordered cut down. The matter of building catch basins in Harrison street was referred to the city engineer with power. Park Street Building Linc. The commissioners examined a map of Park street from Stanley to Fair- view street where it is proposed to establish ‘& building line of fifteen feet. City Engineer Hall was in favor of stopping the line at the Oldershaw property on' the north side and at a point almost opposite on the south side. This is because the Oldershaw property has been built on for a long time. It was finally decided to recom- mend a building line through the properties mentioned as far as Stan- ley street. White Oak Co. Gets Contract. Bids on crushed stone were pre- sented in compact form by City Engi- neer Hall. C. W. Cadwell of the White Oak Crushed Stone company could not see where the board gained anything by WHAT CAUSES' COLDS? This question and “How to Prevent Colds” is asked a thousand times every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but due to a disordered condition of the | blood or lack of impertant food- elements. In changing seasons fat- foods are essential because they dis- tribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the body better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the underlying reason why the medicinal fats in Scott’s Emulsion quickly overcome colds and build strength to prevent more serious sick- ness. It contains nature’s medicinal fats, so skillfully prepared that the blood profits from every drop, and it is free from harmful drugs or alcohol. W57 Sceit & Bowne, Bloomfield, N.J.

Barnes, representing the ‘White Oak crushed stone, claimed that his firm had presented the lowest bid. He sald that prices would be at least ten cents per ton higher had it not been for the organization of his com- pany, a new member of the crushed stone family in this district. Mr. Barnes said he could guarantee 1,000 tons a day at the discretion of the city engineer. He also claimed that his plant is the best equipped in the state today. On motion of Commissioner James Kelly the contract was awarded to the ‘White Oak company.

The Sherman sand company was awarded the contract for No. 2 sani at the last meeting but City Engineer sand was not as specified. Sprinkling in Trolley Arca. Commissioner John E.

Walker company to sprinkle the trolley area. City Engineer Hall ing of $1,000 by the latter course. Permanent pavement which is proper- ly cleaned needs sprinkling only once every two days, he said. He was in favor of the car sprinkler if the price could be regulated. Mr. Hall hald another proposition, to do away with the squeegee machines and allow the car sprinklers to flush the streets off for an hour in the morning. President Humphrey did not agrece with him and stood up strongly as a champion of the squeegee. The Walker company offered to sprinkle in the trolley area at thir- teen mills pér lineal foot per month in proportion to ithe number of times a street requires sprinkling. This bid is contingent on the final acceptance of the Walker company’s bid for other street sprinkling which has been ac- cepted by the board, ratified by the council and held up by Mayor Quig- ley. Comumissioner Moore moved that the Walker company's bid on the trolley area be accepted. This was BAD BREATH at the Cause and Remove it M. O.
