SEARCH STARTED FOR MISSING WAR VET AND NURSE _ . _ ... .. \ Bride of Six Months Suspects Foul PFay-—Girl’s Parents Silent,' Bv United Press DANVILLE, 111., Feb. 20.—Inquiries ■were broadcast today for Maj. George D. Walter, 45, veteran of the World War, doctor, sculptor and electrical engineer, who disappeared last Saturday. Search also is being made for Irene Epperson, pretty student nurse. Miss Epperson disappeared last Thursday. Dr. Walter had charge of the Xray laboratory kt St. Elizabeth’s Hospital here. Miss Epperson also was attached to the institution. Dr. Walter’s bride of six months refused to believe rumors of an elopement and leans to the_ theory of foul play. Last Saturday the major telephoned his wife to meet him downtown. While she waited, Walter went to their home, packed a Sag and drove away in his wife’s automobile. Major Walter graduated from Cornell and the University of Maryland. He was doing research work in Germany for a New York hospital in 1914 when the war drums rolled, and he promptly made his way to England where he joined the British army with the rank of major. After the cessation of hostilities, Major Walter returned to the United States and entered a Philadelphia hosptial. Illness forced him to give up his indoor work. For six months he acted as assistant sculptor on the famous Robert E. Lee memorial on Stone Mountain. Ga. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Epperson, parents of the missing nurse, said today they would not hunt for their daughter, and refused further comment. Mrs. ' Walter clings to the theory of foul play or loss of memory, due to the strain of four years in France, as the reason for the major’s disappearance.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advised to dress warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind. Rheumatism is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fermentation. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison 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 cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this waste and acids, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the Joints and 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 helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste matter, also to stimulate the kidneys, thus often ridding the blood of rheumatic poison. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthla, and is used with excellent results by thousands at folks who ore subject to rheumatism.— Advertisament.
