s SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
we'll known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremiC poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such a
risk to send 10 cents for large trial
package of "Anuric"-the latest dis
cOVery of DR.. Pierce. Also send a
sample Of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at Dr.. Pierce's Invalids' Ho-

INQUIRY SUGGESTED BY FEEDER.
AL GRAND JURY OF OPERA.
TONS IN NEW ORLEANS.
MANY COMPANIES ORGANIZED
Claims That of All of Those Which
Have Sold Stock Only One Com.
pany Has Been Named Which
Has Paid Any Dividends.
Shreveport

Shreveport
The federal grand jury for the
Western District of Louisiana In a
report Of its findings to Judge Boar
man recommended that the govern
ment take action with reference TO
the oVerly-watered oil stock promo
ton schemes that have been operat-
ing with great freedom in North
Louisiana and warns the public
against hasty investment in such en-.
terprises.
The promotion, organization and
operation Of the various oil concerns
was probed closely by the grand jury
which returned an indictment against
one concern for using the mails to
defraud. The records of the parish
show that since January l, 1913, IA
oil corporations with an authorized
capital stock exceeding $15,OOO,OOC
nave been organized. There are many
others operating here that have been
organized in other parishes and other
states since that date and possibly as
many more organized prior to 1913.
The majority Of these concerns are
close corporations which have not Of
fered stock on the market for sale
but the minority which mulcted the
public Of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars.
Of all those which have sold stock
through agents and advertisements
only one company has been named
which has paid to its stockholders
any dividends.
The grand jury report states thai
less than ten per cent of the class Of
companies which have sold stock tC
the public have paid anything to the
stockholders. The report denounces
the "get.rich-Quick" schemes which
the oil industry in this section has
presented with a golden opportunity
to fleece the investing public.

WONDERFUL HOW QUICKLY
RESIN0L STOPS ITCHING

To those who have endured for years
the itching torments Of eczema or other
such subscriptions, the relief that
the first use of resinol ointment and
resinol soap gives is perfectly incredi-
BILE. After all the suffering they went
through and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for, they
cannot believe anything so simple,
mild and inexpensive can stop the
itching and burning INSTANTLY!
And they find it still more wonderful
that the Improvement is permanent
and that resinol really drives away
the eruption completely in a very
short time. Perhaps there is a pleas
ant surprise like this in store fer you
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all druggists.-Adv.

which it is claimed the company fail
ed to pay through alleged fraudu-
lently lowering the duty test on su-
gar imported by it into the port OF
New Orleans, will begin December 6
before Judge Foster in the United
States District Court. The alleged
fraud is said to have been committed
between the years 1899 and 1907.
Henry Newton Arnold, of Washing,
ton, special assistant to the attorney
general, and H. H. Waters, acting
deputy collector of customs at the
port Of New York, who is accountant
IN the case, have been in New Or
leans several days preparing the gov
ernment's side of the suit. When the
case is called the government will in,
sist on an immediate hearing, and
fight any attempt to delay the trial.
Evidence to be presented by the
government will be that which was
obtained by agents of the Department
Of Justice during an investigation in
1910, and in the last year. Mr.. Ar
mold will prosecute the case in con-
junction with Judge Gudon, United

Trial Of this suit will follow close
upon the heels of the custer suit of
the State of Louisiana against the

seeking to prevent the company from
doing busine-s in the state on the
grounds that it was a trust and re,
straining the sugar industry to the
detriment of Louisiana sugar grow

ago before Judge King, the arguments
lasting five days. A recess was taken
for two weeks, and Judge Kings de
cision probably will be handed down
about the time of the hearing Of this
suit in December.
