' ■ AFTER MEN WHO BUY LIQUOR FOR DRUNKS [Continued From First Page.] keepers will not soil them any liquor once they are on the "jag list." "The saloonkeeper isn't to blame," said Chief Zeil to-day, "It's the man who is working an underhanded game, getting the money from the drunks, then buying the booze and turning it over to the men who can't get It be cause they are on the "jag list." The drunks, the police chief says, for many weeks have been "slipping one across.'" Panhandling to get enough money to buy a quart of whis ky, they give the money to some man not under the ban, and after he buys the liquor give him a drink and keep what is left of the quart. The man who buys the booze for the drunks is the man the police are going after now. "We're going to make it. warm for a few of them soon and when we- get them we'll have them on a charge of furnishing liquor to habitual drinkers and doing it without license," the ex ecutive said to-day.

The chief of police In talking of his plan said that he Is positive that the men at the bars in the city know prac tically every man on the "jag list" furnished by the police. According to htm, some of these men are still be ing brought In drunk, who are on the list. "None of them have enough money to buy a quart of cheap whlskv even, but by panhandling they soon collect fifty cents and then have their j party," Chief Zell said.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex posure, keep feet dry. eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric aoid. Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gene rated 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 kid neys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accumulat ing and circulating through the sys tem, eventually settling In the joints «nd 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 tablespoon ful In «. glass of water and drink be fore breakfast each morning for a week. This Is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidnevs to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impuTitles. Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with llthia nnd is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant. effervescent lithla-water drink which overcomes uric acid and Is bene ficial to your kidneys as well.—Adver tisement. f ~ HARRIS BURG'S largest and most progressive paper and Harrisburg's largest and most beautiful motion picture theater have ar ranged for the largest and most unique and lib eral plan of entertain ment ever heard of, next week.

Storm Blinds .Middle West By Associated Press \ Chicago, Jan. 2. Snow, rain and sleet over a large area of the Middle West, centering over Southeastern) lowa, northern Missouri and Illinois; but extending in all directions caused | much delay in train service to-day and hampered telegraph and tele- J phone companies. Further west the conditions were i aggravated by Intense cold. Ontaha | reported eight degrees below zero. Many of the telegraph and telephone lines to the west were down and throughout Illinois, lowa and Missouri much trouble was reported by line men. Denver was reached by a circuitous route. Trains reached Chicago from the weßt from an hour to two hours late. In the city snow and sleet hampered the surface and elevated lines. Forecast of decidedly colder weath er was made by the weather .bureau the prediction being that the Arkansas storm would spread northeastward and be followed by cold and north west gales bringing temperatures of from 30 to 40 degrees below zero over most of the Northwestern States. ' The northwestern cold wave was said by the Weather Bureau to be the most severe in recent years with the mercury standing at 30 to 48 degrees below zero over most of the Dakotas and in the northern Rocky mountain regions. Temperature 5 to 10 degrees below zero was predicted for the Chicago district to-night. Easterward of the Mississippi temperatures were abnormally high, ranging from fifteen to 33 degrees above the seasonable average, but these districts are expected to feel the effect of the storm later in the week. Snow and rain are predicted for to night and Thursday as the storm moves northeastward and a severe cold wave, the Weather Bureau says, may be expected through the upper lake region, the lower Ohio Valley and the l.ower Mississippi Valley to night and Thursday ana in the east Gulf States Thursday and Thursday night. By Thursday night and Fri day It Is probable the thoroughfaros. and the three tracks called for in the measure now before council will increase the number to seven. All these seven tracks, it has been pointed out. must be crossed by high school children and all other residents of the Weal Side in coming to and from their studies or to the central pari of the town. The granting by council of this valu able right, prominent men of the bor ough declare, should be compensated by the railroad In some manner. As the ordinance now stands—and it has been passed by council on first and second readings—the railroad gives the borough absolutely nothing. In municipal circles, however, it is understood that the railroad is willing to construct a sewer to relieve the old canal nuisance. Nothing Is men tioned in the ordinance, though, about this sewer, and it. Is the consensus of opinion of leading citizens that before council passes the measure finally it should be amended to show just what the borough is to receive for the valu able rights given the railroad com pany. Many are awaiting with in terest (he next meeting of council, scheduled for February 7. Steelton Snapshots Bring Body Here.
