WASHINGTON. May 17-Attorney
General BonaDarte has heard the OBJ
iections To his opinion relative TO the

spirits under the new rure food act
The Attorney Generals ruling. it is
claimed, would in effect deprive tn,
makers of blended whisky Of the bene-
ht Of tie word blended" as formerly
used uuon their labels.
The other view OF the case was thai
IL was the intention OF Congress "a
limit the use of the word blended
whisky 70 two whiskies, and that
neutral spirits and whisky were not
like substances, either IN fact or with
in the meaning Of the law.
1t was insisted that the word blend
which had come in the public mind tc
mean a certain kind of whisky. could
not. under the Attorney Generals opin-
ion, be permitted on labels except in
the case of a blend OF two or NOR,
straight" Whistles ana these. it was
contended. could not properly be call.
ed a "blend" at all.
The Attorney General said theri
were administrative reasons why the
matter Of labelling whiskes should be-
finally determined as speedily as pos
sible. and he would allow one week
for the fling with him Of additional
briefs or arguments on tho subject.
The DeDartmeW of Justice. he said,
would afford every facility for making
this test case and he hoped the matter
would soon be brought to the courts.

DRINK PLENTY OF
GOOD WATER
Try This at Home for Kid
ngy and Bladder Disease
and Rheumatism

"The people here Go not drink
enough water TO keep healthy" eN-
claimei a well-known authority "The
numerous cases Of stomach trouble.
kidney and bladder diseases and
rheumatism are mainly due to the fact
that the drinking of water natures
greatest medicine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with patent
medicines and cure-alls: but get on
the water wagon. If you are really
sick, why, of course, take the proper
nedicines-plain common vegetable
treatment, which win not shatter the
nerves or ruin the stomach"
When requested for such a prescrip-
tlon for the cure of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: You
must make the kidneys do their work;
they are the filters of the blood.
They must be made TO strain out of the
blood the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism: the urine must
be neutralized so it viii no longer be
a source Of irritation to the bladder,
and. most OF an. YOU nust-k these
acids from forming in the stomach.
This is the cause of stomach troubles
and poor digestion. For these condi-
tions l would suggest tho following

Wooden Anehors.

The Basques. a strange race inter
mediate between French and Span
iards, have for all time been great fish
ermen, aud some OF their craft and
seagoing gear are totally different
from any other known types. Perhaps
the most remarkable relic Of bygone
civilizations is the primitive wooden
anchor stili In use among them and to
be seen in the fishing settlements round
Blarrltz, Guethary or st. Jean de Luz.
These wooden anchors are in all prob
ability Of the identical type in use
among the Phoenicians twenty centu-
rles ago. The wooden anchor is rough
hewn out of three branches, so fasten-
ed to a crossbar, also Of wood, as to in
close a great stone. of twenty or thirty
pounds weight. Here is a cheap but
effectual anchor for comparatively light
boats. 1t can be made on the spot. and
It entails little loss If, in a sudden
squall, 1t has to be left imbedded in
the rocks.

Pure gold is unaffected by the atmos-
