boundary; a cathedral completed in
1906; and a straight palm-fringed,
boulevard along the sea.
"Batum Is about eight miles from
the Turkish frontier in Asia Minor.
Russia conquered it from Turkey, and
the congress of Berlin in 1878, con
firmed the conquest. In awarding Ba
tum to Russia, it was stipulated that
the port should not be made into a
naval base, but the city la now a
strongly fortified station. In 1911,
following the collapse of the ancient
quay, extensive harbor works were
undertaken, with the result that Ba
tum has been made one of the safest,
best-equipped harbors on the Black
sea.
"The city is very ancient In loca
tion and very recent in Importance.
It Is mentioned, under various names,
from early antiquity. The Russians
have been the first to endeavor to
launch It upon a career. Though still
'highly unsuccessful from a sanitary
standpoint, it has a model modern
city's ground plan, the streets being
the ehortest ways between two points
and most of the city squares having
Bharp right angle Modern conveni
ences, however, have been lost sight
of In the city's stride for business.
"A pipe line and a railway made
Batum. The pipe line Is laid down
from Baku, and it brines to Mia
its principal export oil. The railway
connects Batum with the main trans
caucasian line, through Tlflle, and
with Baku. Besides petroleum and 'its
by-products, the city ships liquorice,
manganese, silk cocoons and wool. It
imports tin and machinery. Greeks,
the ehrewd dealers In money and
goods in the near east, hawe control
of much of the business.

river run through a narrow, wooded
vajiey, narrowing in places to a pic

and throughout its highland .way Is
surrounded by as wild scenery as can
be found within the United States.
"Just before reaching Cracow, the
Vistula leaves the mountains, and
from this Gallcian city seaward it Is
navigable for smaller boats. Its direc

'The plain through which thA rlvfn
passes from Warsaw to th Pmunn
boundary smooths away into swelling
lowianas, tne river course becomes

sandy banks are forever sliding Into
the water. The Vistula enters Prussia
ten miles above Thorn, the strong
Prussian frontier fortress. Beyond
this point it cuts through tha Prus
sian ridge, enters low country again,
wnere its shirting bankB give con
siderable trouble to navigation. The
Prussian government has pxnpndRrt
large sums of money in the endeavor
to win a mastery of the river, and to
keep it serviceable as a great trade
Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known author
ity. We are advised to dress warmly;
keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat
less meat, but drink plenty of good
water.
Rheumatism Is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rlrh
foods that .produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
funotion 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 damn and ehlllv
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accumulating and circu
lating through the system, eventually
settling In the joints and muscles caus
ing 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 a glass of water and drink be-
off fore breakfast each morning for a
Week. This is Said to ellmlnnra nrln
a acid bv stimulating tha Vtrlnov. in no
orange mal action, thus ridding the blood of
tnese impurities.

all others In the theaters, music halls

It la apparent that "gem of the

our large tract of continent, and "borne
by the red and the blue" (tie red of
the British army and brae of the navy)
Is more logical than the meaningless
line "borne by, the red, white and
