j. s. MAY RENEW
SHIPPING PROTEST
Britain's Warning That She Will
Seize Grain Cargoes Stirs
State De- artment.

The United States Government today
faces the possibility of making new pro-
test to Great Britain on that nation )
attitude toward American shipping.
Great Britain's formal warning that
she Intends to seize grain and -four car
goes destined from the United States
to Germany and Austria precipitated
this possibility.
In view of Germanys notice that any
such cargoes would not be commander
ed Tor military purposes some authori-
ties held that England was exceeding
established rules when she declared
these cargoes conditional contraband.
Officials. OF course, admitted that
England has the right to revise her
contraband and conditional contraband
lists. But. 1t was pointed out. that al
legged arbitrary treatment of America s
commerce was the basis for the former
shipp ng protest. and this view strength
ened the belief that the United States
would not submit, without objection, to
this latest move.
Meantime the department not fed the
owners Of the food-laden W'lhelmina of
Great Brtain's intent toward that ves-
sell assuring the concern that. while the
cargo will be seized. England will re-
lease the vessel and pay for the seizure.

CLOSING OF SALOONS ON JAN uARY i BRINGS UP MANY
 PROBLEMS.
ANNUAL LOSS OF S76,OOO
1t Is Now Proposed to Draft a Meas ure Providing For An Occupation Tax-Many Storerooms Will
 Be Vacated.
Little Rock

The Marion and New Capital hotels will substitute popular-price cafes Tn the places now occupied by the grills on January 1, tf.N date the statewide prohibition law becomes effective in Arkansas. Saloon men all over the city are making arrangements to re- tire from business at the appointed time, and all kinds of bargains in whis- key, wines, etc., are being advertised
 It is expected that from 40 to 50 store rooms will be vacant when the sa- looms go out of business the first Of next year. In addition to the individ- ual endorsements, the City of Lit tie Rock, or a committee of the city council, is hard at work day and night trying to frame up a license ordinance to make up for the S76,000 loss which will be caused by the closing of the saloons. It was first suggested by the aldermen to pass an ordinance pro viding for an occupation tax, but the Arkansas Supreme Court, when Chief Justice E. H. English was on the bench in the early eighties, held that such a tax was unconstitutional It is now proposed to draft a measure to cover the proposition as laid down by the supreme court in that decision.

WHAT IS URIC ACID? THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGo

Ever since the discovery of uric acid ia the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and the bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and the blood of this poison. Because of its over abundance in the system it causes baekache, pains here and there, rheu- matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis covered new agent, called "Anuric," which will throw out and completely eradicate this uric acid from the sys- tenn. "Anuric" is 37 times more po- tent than lithid. and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or ar ticular rheumatism or gout, or many

other diseases which are dependent on an accumulation of uric acid within the body. Send to pr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, foi pamphlet on "Anuric,' or send 16SSents for a trial package of "Anuric" Tablets.
 If you feel that tired, worn-eut feel. ing, backache, neuralgia, or if your sleep is disturbed by too frequent urination, go to your best store and ask for Dr. Pierces "Anuric."
 pr. Pierce's reputation is back of this medicine and you know that his Pleasant Pellets" for the liver and his "Favorite Prescription" for the ills of women have had splendid reputation for the past fifty years.

In civil suit growing out of the famous horse racing swindles at Hot Springs several years ago, the court refused to give John H. Humping judgment of S3,7SS against the Ar kansas National bank at Hot Springs for drafts which the bank paid. RumD- ing, Montana resident, put up drafts as bet on a fake race. Ed Spear, now awaiting a second federal trial in connection with the cases, procured the money from the bank on the drafts. Humping sued Spear and the bank in the Garland Circuit Court to recover his loss. He was given a Judgment against Spear, but the court held that the bank was not liable un- less it could be proved it was a par ty to the swindle
