WHAT. TEA DOES TO
RHEUMATICS.
When you next take tea. think of this.
Tea oontalns 175 grains of Urle Acid -In
every pound.
Meat contains only Ave to seven grains.
Rheumatism is Uric Acid in the blood.
Urio Acid accumulates from food when
the digestive apparatus cannot create
enough Alkaline elements Olke soda) to
neutralize It.
This Add collects urea, or worn-out
waste matter, from the system.
That Urea enters the blood when Alka
line action has not previously dissolved It,
By and by the waste matter reaches the
Joints and muscles, through circulation of
the blood.
There is gradually deposits in solid par
ticles, 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
Vature to help herself.
She proceeds to coat the hard Urio par
ticles over with cushions of pulpy mucus,
like the first healing strata of an outer
sore.
This pulpy covering grows to the bones.
RB well as to the particles deposited. There
; Hardens uks piaster or seating wax.
Then we have "bony joints," almost In
dexible, and usually fixed In sfbended posi
tion, from the pain and inflammation.
That is Rheumatism at its worst.
It is bad enough before It gets that far.
There is but one sure way of curing
Rheumatism. The first step is to neutral
ize the Uric Acid already in the system.
Kext, to dissolve, and carry away, the hard
deposits that grind between the Joints.
Then get the digestive apparatus into
such healthy condition that It will, unaid
ed, produce less Uric Acid, and more
Alkallnes.
This Is what doctors generally have
failed to do.
It Is what I studied a lifetime to ac
complish, and achieved only after many
failures and thousands of experiments.
At last I found, in Germany, a Solvent
which was not only effective, but absolute
ly safe to use.
Few '"agents powerful enough to be ef
fective In Rheumatism are safe.
My discovery, now called "Dr. Snoop's
Rheumatio Cure." acts directly, but in
ternally, upon Uric Acid in the Joints and 1
muscles.
It dissolves, and carries off, the painful
deposits, producing an Immediate Alkaline
condition of the blood, and neutralizing
the Acid In it which would have fed the
Rheumatism and extended the disease.
It won't restore bonv Joints to flexibility,
and it can't undo. In 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 Ik, on a month's
trial, at my risk.
If It succeeds, the cost to him Is only
$5.60 for the six-bottle treatment.
If it falls, 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 set well, at my risk.
I have written an important Treatise on I
lineumatism, truing oi its renei ana cure.
It is free to Rheumatic people.
Write me a post card for it to-day.
Address Dr. Snoop, Box 3645, Racine,
"Wis.
P. S. Simple cases often yield to on
bottle of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Curt.
' (Druggists SI.) But all druggists do
rot supply it on a month's trial. You
must write to me for that. C. I. S.

SEEKS TO REFORM
ELECTION OFFICIALS,
Commissioner Louis F. Aloe Says
He Is Opposed to Old Re
publican rrograuime.
MAY IGNORE COMMITTEEMEN.
Thinks That New Law Is Ade
quate to Correct Abuses Due
to Poor Judges and
Clerks.
Republican politicians who were disap
pointed over the action of the Republican
Judges and clerks during the last two or
three elections are beginning to anticipate
better conditions. Among these acquainted
with the local situation, it has been no
secret that some of the officials who ore
sided in the polling places for the Re
publicans during recent elections were of
a sort to make a partisan ueep.
Election Commissioner Louis P. Aloo is
the man appointed for the regeneration.
In a recent meeting of the tit. Louis Ham
ilton Club with the Republican City Cen
tral Committee, ho Is s-aid to have pol:en
freely regarding his views and the neces
sity for a better class of men to represent
the party in the election booths.
Under the new election law the Elec
tion CommUsIner, representing his p.irty,
has tho right to namo tl.o judqc and
clerks and to compel those nnom. lie
names to tcnDr For any man named by
the Election Commissioner to lefuse to
serve subjects him to a tine and possible
imprisonment. High and low degree are
on the same plane in the ejes of tho new
law.
Under the old law the City Committee
men named their judges and clerks, sub
ject to the approval of the Election Com
missioners as a whole. In some wards,
especially the so-called "tough" wards, it
was almost impossible to get reputable citi
zens to serve. As their service was
voluntary, nothing could be done to compel
them to take their places in the booths.
"Some of the Judges and clerks used in
recent elections were not satisfactory and
every one knows it," said Election Com
missioner Aloe yesterday. "I knew it at
the time, but there was no remedy under
the law. The returns from some of the
precincts were evidence of the poor Judges
and clerks who served."
HONEST MEN TO BE APPOINTED.
"It is my intention this fall to see that
none but honest and trusted men receive
appointments. Of course, I shall receive
recommendations from the city commit
teemen, but in some of the wards I shall
do more than that. I shall appoint com
mittees of reputable Republicans to scan
the lists, and where tho names are not
satisfactory I shall get other men to do
the work. Fortunately, the new law per
mits no excuse for not serving. I bellevo
the law to be a good one, and I shall en
force It to' the letter when It comes to
naming these Judges and clerks. I imag
ine there will be aN different tale to tell
from some of the precincts if we have
good officials In the polling places repre
senting the Republican party."
Since the election of the new city com
mittee there has been much disgust over
the apparent friendliness of some of the
committeemen with the Butlers. In some
of the wards these committeemen seemed
so completely tinder the benign influence
of the Butlers that even before the elec
tion was held the result was predicted
with accuracy.
STATE CHAIRHAX AKIXS RnTTJRXS.
Condition of Frank D. Roberts Is Se
rious, bnt Patient la Hopeful.
Republican State Chairman T. J. Akins
returned yesterday morning from Excel-i
sior Springs, Mo., where he spent a short
while with Collector of the Internal Rev
enue Frank D. Roberts of Kansas City.
Mr. Roberts is confined to his bed with
Bright's disease.
"Frank is very sick, but not discour
aged." said Mr. Akins. "He Is in that
condition that he might be up and doing
next week, and again he might riot. He
Is one of my best friends, as everyone
knows, so I am anxious for him to get on
the mend.
"Everything was lovely In "Washington.
I secured the additional help I wished
without much trouble. Bert Nortoni Is
there and working on his Dolan-Barrett
brief while awaiting the pleasure of Post
master General Payne regarding the ap
pointment of an Assistant Attoreny Gen
eral. We are hopeful that he will re

"Cyrus P. Walbrldge's boom for Vice
President has taken root In the East, and
Eood words can be heard for him on every

made."
DECLARES HE IS -OT A CANDIDATE.
Gilbert Barbee Says He "Will Not Go
Back on State Committee.
Democratic State Committeeman Gilbert
Barbee was In the city yesterday on pri
vate business and visiting his political
friends. It was the first time that he had
been In St Louis since the right in Jasper
County, which resulted in a split conven
tion. "I shall not go back on the State Com
mittee." he said. "I did not wish to do so
two years ago. but my friends insisted.
The Democrats of Jasper County held a
conferenco and practically ugreed on John
B. Cole for Jasper County's member from
tho Fifteenth District. I do not know
whether he will be elected or whether he
wquld take It if he Is elected. The action
of other counties in tho Fifteenth on the
gubernatorial contest has not affected my
friends very much. In Lawrence County,
for Instance, the McNatts, who led the
Folk fight, ore my warm personal friends.
'Tes, we had a warm fight in Jasper
about as warm as they ever get. I think
that Folk will be nominated without a
doubt and do not understand why Reed
is keeping up the fight. I have not seen
Mr. Reed since the fight In Jasper
County."

Democratic State Committeeman Prank
RvsmII of Laclede County oiit the Lactate

VANDiVER COUNSELS
FOLK'S ADMIRERS,
Tells Cockran and Others That
Missouri Needs the Cir
cuit Attorney.
WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR.
Is for Cockrell for President and,
Though Appreciating Mention
of His Own Name, Does
Not Approve It.
The Republic Bureau.
Hth St. and Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington. Aprtr2G. "We need Mr.
Folk out in Missouri, and it will bo four
years before the State will be willing to
give him up."
In these words. Representative WlHard
D. Vandlver, who has been managing the
Folk campaign for Governor, answered
to-day the numerous questions of Con
gressmen who have been interested by the
presidential boom in favor of the Mis
sourian started by reference to him as a
Democratio possibility in Bourke Cock
ran's speeches of Saturday and to-day.
Mr. Vandiver returned to Washington
this morning after a long absence, during
which he has aided vigorously In the
prosecution of the Folk campaign. No
sooner had he appeared in the Democratic
clo-ikroom. this' morning than ho was
made the recipient of the congratulations
of -his colleagues. He declared to them
that Folk's uncontested 202 delegates to
the State Convention, as compared with
the 1H uncontested of his united oppo
nents. Is a guarantee of Folk's nomina
tion: and he declared that the Circuit
Attorney will be elected by M0.000 ma
jority. CONGRESS. IS INTERESTED.
The Folk movement In Missouri, as well
as Mr. Folk himself. Is credited in Con
gress with a national significance. The
fact has been greatly emphasized by the
utterances of Mr. Cockran. Traders from
various localities are declaring that the
mention of Mr. Folk's name in tho St.
Louis convention would be very likely to
carry It in whirlwind fashion, were a
deadlock to occur.
aid Mr. Siaydcn of Texas to Mr. van
diver to-day:
"If Folk had been turned down
in Missouri, we would have had to account
for the fact and to apologize for such
action by so thoroughly a Democratic
State as Missouri. We would have had to
apologize to the Republicans of the na
tion." VANDIVER THANKS COCKRAN.
"When Mr. Cockran had concluded his
speech to-day, Mr. Vandlver thanked him
for Mr. Folk, saying, however, that the
Missourian has work to do at home.
"Members of the House," said Mr.
Vandiver to-night, "I find, are considering
Mr. Folk for President, and are consider
ing him seriously. Quite a number of them
have spoken to me about it. But I tell
them that Mr, Tolk. as well as myself.
Is for Senator Ccckrell. and that our
able prosecutor desires to support Mr.
Cockrell as Ions as any chance may re
main for his nomination.
"The iandFllfie for Mr. Folk Is ample in
dication of the sound discretion of the
farmers. When I vant to sound senti
ment I so up to the head of tho hollow
and come down the creek. Anyone cur
suing this policy out in Missouri will hear
nothing but Folk's name. Congressmen
here, away from local conditions, are rieht
In attaching a national meaning to this
popular uprising. It Is gratifying for us
from out there to find that Missouri's
country sentiment is reflected among the
people of the nation at large."
VANDIVER'S BILL.
Mr. Vandlver returns to Washington at
this time to push a measure which now
Is pending before the Judiciary Committee
for the creation of a branch of the Fed
eral Court in Cape Girardeau. Appropria
tion to this effect has been advocated at
several congresses, but favorable action
rould not be had. Mr. Vandlver maintains
that Southeast Missouri is very greatly
handicapped In this respect, and that Jus
tice should compel the passage of such a
bill. He will ask a hearing on the matter
before the Judiciary Committee to-morrow
morning, and hopes to get a favorable
report. In that case he would expect to
have It passed next winter.

RKPUBTjIC BPECIAIj.
Omaha, Neb., April 26. Bryan's Chicago
speech on the New York platform did not

clare that the discourse marked him more

that he overshot the mark in his speech.
Frank I Weaver.' president of the
Jacksonlan Club, one of the most impor
tant Democratio organizations in the

"Mr. Bryan's criticisms and compari
sons are not apt, because the Democrats
of New York simply adopted a platform
tor their own State, which may have no
bearing whatever on the national plat
form. His criticisms are most unfair,
because he anticipates what may be done,
rather than talk of what has been done.

Nervous Dyspepsia
Cured by TO-NI-TA.
MISS L. FRANC MEMBERT. '
"I suffered from acute nervous dyspen.
la and was not able to eat even tha
slight diet of tea and toast, which I was
obliged to live on most of the time, with
out great distress. I drank a glass of
hot water with a pinch of salt morulas
and night, and even this nauseated me.
"My system was so ran down from lack
of sufficient and proper nourishment that
the mucous membrane of my stomach waa
unfit to do Its work. I was faint and
had great pain and a heavy feeling In the
digestive organs. This was brought m
by mental- overwork and worry.
"The doctor prescribed rest of brain and
mountain air to Improve my condition, but
I was unable to leave my business, and
kept on getting worse. Finally I heard
of TO-NI-TA and began taking a table
spoonful three times a day before meals,
and after taking two bottles am com
pletely, cured."
