Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
Of sediment channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"Anuric' is the most powerful agent
in dissolying uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration Of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure,
" Anuric" is a regular insurance and
life-sayer for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts In their joints.
Ask the druggist for vAnuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

STRENGTH AND BEAUTY

Come with DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This is a blood cleanser and
alternative that starts the liver and stom-
ach into vigorous action. 1t thus assists
the body to manufacture rich red blood
which feeds the heart, nerves, brain and
organs of the body. The organs work
smoothly like machinery running in oil.
You feel clean, strong and strenuous in
stead of tired, weak and faint.

20 DREADNOUGHTS TO
Be BUILD BY j. 5.
Navy Will Be Doubled With
in Five Years. Plans
Announced.

Washington, Oct 13.-President Wilson,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels and mem
bers of the general board on naval affairs
are outlining plans for doubling the naval
forces OF the country during the next five
years. The necessity of being prepared
has at last become the most important
platform in the administration policy and
those under whose hands passes this part
of the country's work have entered into
the matter to get prompt results.
The idea is to build as many of the
ships the first year as possible. The pro-
gramme will be arranged so as to get the
ships built as rapidly as the yards can
successfully turn them out BY the fifth
year it is estimated that practically the
entire feet will be built and then the
work can be carried on as seen fit.
The naval appropriation for the coming
year VIII probably be about S24S.OOO,OOO
or Sl0O,0OO,00O more than that of last year.
The personnel will also be increased about
5000, according to present plans Definite
plans will probably be completed Friday.
The construction programme calls for
ships of all types, dreadnoughts, cruisers,
submarines, hospital ships, machine ten
| ders, colliers, torpedo boats, mine LAYERS.
| Probably 20 dreadnoughts will form the
| back bone of the new fleet with the other
/ ships in proportion. 1t is understood that
the plans will call for about a hundred
new submarines and seventy destroyers
| The proposed building of four battle
ships year was killed by congressman
who wanted the government to spend its
money in other ways and claimed that
squirrel shooters could protect the country
in case of war. The idea of having !
fleet of 4S first class battle ships in 1871
has suffered.

TAKEN ON
OIL LANDS
Chicago Capitalists, Through
New Orleans Lawyer, In
vest 100000.

Chicago capitalists have decided to try
The development of oil land in Jefferson
parish Through local attorney and with
the services of prominent real estate agent
of New Orleans, they have secured options
the Oakdale plantation of about 1000 acres
back of Gretna and Algiers.
The Chicago men have been in the city
several days and it was known that the sale
under contemplation. Saturday evening
it was announced that the options were closed.
The drilling is expected to be commenced in
a short time. 1t was stated that the transac.
ton involves over 100000.
| That there was gas on the Oakdae planta-
| tion has been known for some time Several
years ago well was started there but owing
to conditions existing at the time, the work
was abandoned. Gas and oil are said to come
/ from the ground in abundance. There is a
well of moderate depth on the land which has
the queer characteristic of giving out oily
material which acts like soap. The water
from this well is used by the workmen testing
the land TO wash their clothing and hands
when smeared with oil and the statement is
vouched for that it readily removes all traces
of oil and grease.
The promoters of the Jefferson parish en-
terprise said Saturday that they did not care
| to give details of their plans at present, but
are satisfied that they will find plenty of oil
under the land they have taken the option
on.
