WHAT TEA DOES TO RHEUMATICS. When you next take tea, think of this. To a contains 175 grains of Uric Acid in every pound. Meat contains only five to seven grains. Rheumatism Is Uric Acid In the blood. Uric Acid accumulates from food when the digestive apparatus cannot create enough Alkaline elements (like soda) to neutralize it. This Acid collects urea, or worn-out waste matter, from the system. That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline action has not previously dissolved It. By and by the waste matter reachps the Joints and muscles, through circulation of the blood. There it gradually deposits in solid particles, like granulated sugar. These solid particles grind between the Joints and muscles at every movement. This grinding causes Irritation and pain. These In turn may develop Inflammation and swelling. That inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. She proceeds to coat the hard Uric particles over with cushions of pulpy mucous, like the first healing strata of an outer core. Thi3 pulpy covering grows to the bones, as well as to the particles deposited. There it hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then we have "bony joints." almost inflexible, and usually fixed in a bended position, from the pain and Inflammation. That is Rheumatism at its worst. It is bad enough before It gets that far. There is but one &ure way of curing Rheumatism. The first step is to neutralize the Uric Acid already in the system. Next, to dissolve and carry away the hard deposits that4 grind between the Joints. Then get

the digestive apparatus into such healthy condition that It will, unaided, produce less Uric Acid, and more Alkallnes. This is what doctors generally have failed to do. It is what I studied a lifetime to accomplish, and achieved only after many failures and thousands of experiments. At last I found, in Germany, a solvent which was not only effective, but absolutely cafe to use. Few agents powerful enough to be effective In Rheumatism are safe. My discovery, now called "Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure," acts directly, but internally, upon Uric Acid in the Joints and muscles. It dissolves and carries off the painful deposits, producing an immediate AJkaline condition of the blood, and neutralizing the Acid in It which would have fed the Rheumatism and extended the disease. It won't restore bony joints to flexibility, and It can't undo.sln a week, the damage caused by years of rheumatic condition. But it will benefit every case, and it will entirely cure most cases of Rheumatism. So sure am I of this, that I will supply Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure to any sick one who writes me for it, on a month's trial, at my risk. If it succeeds, thev cost to him Is only $5.50 for the six-bottle treatment. If it fails, I bear the whole cost myself. And he alone shall be the Judge shall decide who shall pay. Surely you will not continue to suffer when you can thus get well, at my risk. I have written an important treatise on Rheumatism, telling of its relief and cure. It is free to Rheumatic people. "Write me a post card for it to-day. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 2790, Racine, Wis. P. S. Simple cases oftenyield to one bottle of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure (Druggists 51.) But all druggists do not supply it on a month's trial. You must writs to me for that. C. I. 5. TROUBLE THREATENED BY UHI0HS0FHEW ALBANY Refusal of Recognition of Teamsters' Union Results in Plans for Co-Operative Transfer Co. COUNCIL SIGNS SCALE Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., March 22. The labor troubles of the teamsters union in this city threaten to bring on a war between capital and labor. The Employers and Business Men's Protective Association, which has filed articles of incorporation, was organized, it" is claimed by labor leaders, to tight the teamsters in their demand for rec ognition of their union, and a movement is on foot among the unions to organize a company with a capital stock of $5,000 to purchase teams and engage in a general teaming business. The New Albany Trades and Labor Coun ell has taken action and will support the teamsters union and a number of the unions, whose charter does not prohibit euch action, have taken stock in the com pany. The labor leaders say they will have the 1,400 union men of the city back of the enterprise and will receive the support of the unions in all the falls cities and that all the firms who refuse to patronize the new company will be boycotted. The Louis Hammersmith Company, which dots a general transfer busim-ss between this city and Louisville and Jeffersonville and employs nearly one hundred teamsters, has been placed on the "unfair" list because of its failure to recognize the union.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN THE TWELFTH TO-

Gilbert, Gilhams and Carver Seek Congressional Honors, the Chances Favoring Gilbert. DEMOCRACY IS DILATORY Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE. Ind.. March 22. The Republican congressional convention will be held in this city to-morrow. A great crowd Is' expected owing to the unusual interest created by the candidacy of Lieutenant Governor Gilbert and the vigorous-fight Clarence C. Gilhams, of Lagrange, the unsuccessful nominee two years ago, is making. Orville Carver, of Steuben county, Gilbert's former home, is a candidate, but seems hardly in the running, having no votes in sight except the twelve votes of his own county and one here, thirteen in all. The primaries in this county resulted in Gilbert securing at least, thirty of the thirty-five, with fifty required to nominate. He has elected ten of the fourteen in De Kalb county, where the situation is complicated with the candidacy o: Judge Penfield for Governor and his desire to divide equally the vote of his own county. He may not get all that belongs to him on the first billot. The Whitley county delegation, with eleven votes, Is believed to stand seven for Gilbert and four for Gilhams, making forty-four votes. Gilbert has elected at least nine in Noble county, which will give him the nomination oh the ilrst ballot unless the unferseen develops. Gilhams's own county has agreed to stand solid for him on the first ballot and will remain with him if conditions, after that, make him a possibility. He was defeated two years ago at th-3 polls by disaffection in his own county and he now claims that the divisions are hraled. The convention promises to be the most exciting for a score of years' in this district. The nominee will oppose James M. Robinson, who always has received a number of republican soldier votes and who ran 1,400 ahead of Gilhams two years ago, securing 2S7 majority when the district showed nearly 1,100 majority for the Republican state ticket. Never before, however, has Robinson failed to secure renomination earlier than this, and .it may be that his change of policy indicates his indisposition to risk defeat in the face of the improved Republican' conditions. The Democratic congressional convention will not be held until June. This Is a wide departure from Democratic practice here and indicates a fear of bad nominations for county offices. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert will be placed in nomination to-morrow by M. W. Kemp, a local workingman of fluent speech, and the honors for Gilhams will rest with Sidney K. Ganiard, of Lagrange. QUIET CITY PRIMARY IS. HELD IN MUNCIE Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Marca 22.

LAUNCHING A HEARST BOOM III ALLE COUNTY Fort Wayne Union Labor Democrats Take Up the Work, Instigated by Visiting Boomers. SUPPORT IN LAGRANGE Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 22. This district has been invaded by agents of the Hearst boom from Chicago. A. couple of lawyers named Sullivan, supposed to be brothers,- spent Sunday here instituting the neucleus of a Hearst movement. They were in close conference much of the day with former Senator Ryan, who put them in possession of full information concerning the local situation. There is no sentiment here for Hearst, except among certain leaders of organized labor. The Democratic union printers in the union are loud and strenuous for Hearst, and have the aid of the Democratic leaders of other unions. They will have a large influence in the primaries against the reorganizes, who favor Parker, of New York, and the Hearst boom, while deplored by the ablest leaders of the party in this county, will able to canture a large part of the Allen county delegation to the state convention. County Chairman Dunten. of the Lagrange Democratic committee, has already declared in fulsome terms for Hearst calling him the "peerless" leader in his speech' accepting the chairmanship. Dunten is an aspirant for the congressional nomination whenever Robinson leaves an opening, and is a worker of first influence in the district. Franklin Prohibitionist. FRANKLIN, Ind., March 22.

Not including the Arsenal grounds at Indianapolis, a conservative estimate of the present resources of the Winona Association would place them at $900,000. Although the frost is not yet out of the ground, Winona park presents a scene of great activity. Dr. Dickey has promised to throw open the park grounds and buildings for the twenty-third annual meeting of the Northern Indiana Teachers' Association, now only two weeks away April 7 to 9. inclusive. All the big hotels and boarding cottages are being overhauled by a big force of men under the personal direction of J. K.

The scale committee of the block coal miners and operators met here to-day to discuss some local grievances. The differences between the men and their employers are small and it Is thought an amicable agreement will be reached soon and the scale signed for two years to conform with the scale signed by the national oiheers. Owing to the f;ict that consumers of coal have stored immense amounts in anticipation of a strike, work in the mines will be slack here for the next iwu months.
