I. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,

urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-

When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.

must accept future promises to pay.
The immediate effect upon the
United states should be great eco

quantities OF goods, at exceptionally
profitable prices. upon credit terms
that involve less risk than do ordinary
commercial transactions. The ultimate
menace TO the United States seems to
lie in the warped and feverish quality
OF war demand This involves first,
the overstimulation Of limited group
OF industries and the relative depres-
sion of all others; and, second and
more important. a trade expansion

The story goes that in the years of

Seattle, Wash. He had gone there
from the South to make his fame and
fortune AT the same time little
fleet OF fishing smacks began to get in
trouble in the North Pacific waters.
The boats piled up and down the
British and Russian coasts along
Bering Strait. and they poached in
Russian and British territory and were
straightaway seized by naval vessels
of those countries.

TAXATION OF Church Property

a amendment making the property of
[ churches, charitable organizations fra
ternal orders and cemeteries taxable was de-
ieated IN the taxation committee of the New
York Constitutional Convention, in session
al Albany
The amendment was presented by James
l.. Nixon, OF Buffalo, who wished to eliminate
TAX exemptions except in the case of govern
ment property His measure was regarded
as uitra-radical, and was. therefore voted
down hut 1t is not unlikely that the present
vide power of tax exemption enjoyed bv the
Legislature will be limited.
Undoubtedly. the Nixon amendment went
much too far. Church buildings and certain
Kinds or charitable property should moi he
nufaehed with taxes. AT the same time OK
exemption from taxat on has been carried IN
great lengths in New York Millions IF
dollars worth of church and charitable
property should not go untaxed, while Law
property is burdened TO the limit When
me church is rich landlord, enjoying high
rents ana large requests, there seems no rea-
son why It should not pay its share towards
the expenses OF the State.
