Staff off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acids. Rheumatism js caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated 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 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 poison, 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 body vaste also io stimulate the kidneys, has helping to rid the blood of hese rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes \nd iamon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subcct to rheumatism. —Advertisement.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

REVOLT CUTS HOLIDAY SHORT FOR LINDBERGH Flier and Fiancee Return With Ambassador Morrow to Mexico City. Bn United Press CUERNAVACA. State of Morelos. Mexico, March 4.—The week-end holiday of Colonel Charles A. Lindoergh and his fiancee came to an abrupt and premature end today. The Mexican revolt which broke Sunday apparently caused Dwight W. Morrow, United States ambassador, to alter his plans and leave here Sunday, more than twenty-four hours earlier than first intended. Mrs. Morrow, Colonel Lindbergh, Lindbergh's fiancee, Miss Anne Morrow, and the ambassador’s other daughters, accompanies him. The Morrows and Colonel Lindbergh spent a harassed week-end at the ambassador’s <"'untry home here. Tourists, newspaper men and photographers kept an unceasing watch all Sunday before the unresponsive house, and once a group of eager tourists ventured to the door and rang tfce bell. They left unanswered. Lindbergh’s plane crash last week with Miss Morrow appeared to have added to their importance in Mexican eyes. Many wealthy Mexicans braved the bandit-eendangered motor trip from Mexico City, hoping to sue them and Cuernavaca was filled with foreigners and curious visitors from other parts of Mexico. The ambassador, his family and his future son-in-law came here Saturday along roads guarded by troops. The guards were stationed after a train was robbed and burned between here and Mexico City Thursday. DEMOCRATIS SENATE PAGE A! Smith Supporter Wins Job From G. 0. P. Even at the hour that Herbert Hoover was inaugurated President of the United States the “brown derby” sentiments of A1 Smith lobbied a job out of the Indiana senate. The pro-Smithite is Orville Gardner, 22, 420 North Delaware street, newsboy, who went to work today as a Democrat page in a Republican senate. Gardner, who has been selling papers at the corner of Market street and Capitol avenue, decided the surety of $3 a day as page was better for a week than the hit-and-miss income of a newsboy. Lobbying, he got the patronage of Senators Winfield Miller and J. Clyde Hoffman, both of Indianaoplis. With their backing Senator Alonzo A. Lindley, Kingman, director of pages, acceded to Gardner’s request for a job. ARRANGE DEDICATION Church to Open New Gym Tuesday Night.

NURSE TO FIGHT LIFE Convicted of Murder in ‘Love Mania’ Triai. By United Press DENVER, Colo., March 4.—An appeal from her conviction of first degree murder will be sought by attorneys for Farice King, who shot and killed her former sweetheart because he jilted her. A jury Sunday decided the nurse was sane at the time she killed Robert Evans as he lay on a hospital cot. They found her guilty in the first degree, which carries a penalty of life imprisonment. Attorneys for the nurse denounced “jurors who would sanction seduction,” in filing notice of appeal. They declared Miss King was insane at the time of the killing; that her mind was imbalanced through her great love. The term “love mania” was used to describe her mental condition. * Judge Frank McDonough granted twenty days in which the appeal brief may be prepared. Judge McDonough received the jurors’ decision in the absence of Judge Henry Sackman, who heard the case and who became ill Saturday.
