• Notice to Heggars.
The cold weather has brought scores
of beggars flocking into the city, irho
have been bothering the people with
their supplications.
This has led the chief of police.
Percy Dawson, to issue a warning no
tice in.which he calls attention to the
fact that the cit yis not inhospitable,
■and takes care of all deserving cases,
without the necessity of destitutes go
ing to the door# of the people them
selves. A large number of the beg
gnra know this, and make the state
ment that they have "police permits"
to solicit alms. The chief calls at
tention to the fact that /io such per
mits have been issued, and when the
claim Is made it is prima facie evi
dence that the suppliants are unde
serving.

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
(BY VALENTINE MOTT PIEBCE.
* M. D.)
A close connection exists between
these two—cold weather and rheuma
tism. Prof, . Alex. Haig of London, has
the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence In the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, Is the real cause of
rheumatism. Every one has recog
nised the difference In the appear
ance of their water as soon as it
gats cold; there Is often a copious
sediment of "brlckdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys
$®m, which, in turn, cause rheuma
tism or gout, or creaky Joints, swol
len fingers, or painful Joints. For
on, reason the skin does not throw
Off urlo acid, by profuse sweating, as
In the hot weather, and the kidneys
are unable to take care of the dou
ble burden. Another reason Is that
people do not drink as much water
In cold weather as In summer, which
helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather,
and some people are so susceptible
that they soon develop rheumatism
after eating meat. I
At all such times persons should <
drink copiously of hot water, say, a <
Pint morning and night, and take An
urlo three or four times a day. This l
Anurlc comes in tablet form and can I
tie had at almost any drug store. It I
dissolves the uric acid in the system i
and carries It outward. I would ad- ■
vise everyone to take Anurlc occa- i
stonally, and continue for three or i
four weeks, and in that way avoid
rheumatism, gout and many of the
painful disorders due to uric acid in
the system.
Make your system healthy and
strong by open-air exercise and diet. 1
Then cleanse the liver by occasionally (
stimulating Its action with a pleasant c
laxative composed of the May-apple, I
dried Juice of aloes, and root of Jalap, f

BAD, BOLD BURGLAR
GANG OF ANNISTON
FINALLY RUN DOWN
(Special to The Advertiser.)
ANNISTON, AT^A., Nov. 20.—"Pax

burglars who have been sending
anonymous letters through the malls.
In which they have exploited their
deeds and warned the Anniston police
of further attempts, have been found
at last. They were not the crime
stained jail birds they would have
the public to believe, but merely a
bunch of school boys who were bent
3n ‘‘throwing a scare” into the police
lepartment and city generally.
When Patrolman Carroll received a
hreatening letter Friday he decided
o find the writer. He took the let
er to D. R. Murphy, superintendent of
lie city schools, who recognized the
vritjng as one of the boys in school,
md the rest of the “Pax” gang were

Soldier Boys •
(BY JAMES GAYSOH HART.)
(War rwrayralni of Advertiser.)
NOGALES, ARIZ., Nov. 2U.—Hikes,
maneuvers, and border guard duty are
now routine duties at the Alabama
camp. Monday the Second Regiment
worked out a very interesting PBpb
lem. The Third Battalion was a bbdy
oL Mexican bandits, while the other
two battalions were United States sol
diers. The soldiers of the Third Bat
talion wore white hat bands to dis
tinguish themselves from the other
soldiers. Leaving camp an hour be
fore the remainder of the regiment,
the would-be bandits stole a herd of
imaginary cattle , and tried to cross
into Mexico with them. The object of
the other two battalions was to re
cover the cattle, which they finally did
after fighting many bloodless skirm
ishes, and returned them to the ranch
from which they were stolen.
Wednesday was the first anniversary
!of the battle of Nogales, Sonora. On
the morning 'of November 15th, 1915,
the Carranza garrison stationed at this
city was attacked by "General" Villa.
The*battle began on the outskirts of
the city, but before noon the Car
ranvistas were driven back Into the
city and the hottest of the fight was
along the international line. The
American side of the city began to
suffer from stray or otherwise bullets.
The Twelfth Infantry, U. S. A., was
strung out In skirmish line on the
American side of International Avenue
with orders not to. fire. The Mexican
bullets began to pour se thickly into
the American side of the city that the
commanding officer gave his men
orders to shoot the next Mexican that
fired his gun into United States .terri
tory. *
All Begle Firing.
As soon as this command was given
it appeared that every man had a
Mexican picked out. for the whole regi
ment began firing. The battle lasted
till the men could not see how to shoot
for the darkness. Both the VUllstas
and Carranzlstas retired with the
nightfall. Over a hundred Mexicans
were killed. . One American soldier,
Stephen A. Little, was slain. The dis
trict camp, with headquarters at No
gales Is named In honor of his memory.
A story goes that one soldier in the
Twelfth Infantry, who is an expert
marksman, shot ten times at a Mexican
soldier in a box car, but, every time
he fired the Mexican would Jerk his
head Inside the door to immediately
stick it out again. The Twelfth In
fantryman did not understand why he
continually missed the Mexican. After
the battle was over he and some of
his friends went over to the box car
to see why he could never hit the
Mexican, but to their surprise they
found ten dead Mexicans in the car.
After the battle the Villalstas re
treated Into Sonora. Few men in the
Alabama brigade had ever heard of
this battle before coming to Nogales.
In fact, none kpow that so many Mex
icans were killed. Some of the officers
think that at the time the news was
partially censored by the military au
thorities. Citizens here state that
Villa vowed he would return and cap
ture Nogales, Sonora, one year from
that date. Of course nobody here has
the slightest idea he will return.
Nevertheless, It has been a great sub
ject for discussion among the boys
and a great many banter each other
as to what they would do If he should
really come.
Mea Well Fed.
While in Montgomery the govern
ment bought provisions and Issued
them to each company according to the
number of men. But here It Is dif
ferent. The government pays each
company in cash so much per day for
each day and the company is permitted
to spend it as the mess sergeant sees
fit. This is a great advantage, as the
mess sergeants may buy what the men
like. Therefore, the men get better
things to eat here than we did In
Montgomery and the company is not
overstocked with one article of food
and short on another. Each regiment
has a grocery store run by the com
missary captain and an account Is
opened with each company. The com
pany buys what It wants and at cer
tain Intervals settles up with Uncle
Ham.
No doubt a. great many Montgomery
mothers wonder how their sons spend
the evenings after supper. The army
Y. M. C. A. Is the great rendezvous of

‘Daily Telegraph” Comes
Out Strongly For a Board

rrowing criticism of the admiralty
itely owing to the recent channel raid
nd the Increase of submarine opera
ions. The Pogt, Mall and Star com
men ted pointedly on this subject last

the Admiralty is strangely unaffected
by Changes due tp the war. It adds
that the nation's filth in Admiral Jel

the hostilities have brought unfore
seen developments, notably In sub
marines, mines and aeronautics, all ot
which departments are operated by'

Wonder Is Inevitable.
“It is' not surprising," says the pa
per, "if the officers for forming the
Admiralty Board, reared in a very dif
ferent school, should be somewhat Im
pervious to new ideas In these days of
naval, revolution. It Is perhaps Inevit
able that the nation should wonder
whether the admiralty would not gain
were fresh blood introduced into Its
iellberations.
“Above all things the nation needs a
Board of Admiralty open to new
methods. Would it not be well If sea
men fr< h from the sea, experienced!
In th* Phase of warfare now being pur
med by the enemy, were given a more
commanding voice In our naval at
