A recipe given by famous ply
stefan for long life was: Keep the
kidneys In good order! Try to elimi-
nate through the skin and intestines
the poisons that otherwise clog the kid
neys. Avoid eating meat as much as
possible: avoid too much salt, alcohol,
tea. Drink plenty of water.
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms Of intlam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or If uric acid In the blood has caused
rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is
n wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DIR. Pierce of In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your
druggist does not keep 1t send 10 cents
TO DIR. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that it is thirty-seven times
more potent than lithia and that 1t dis

that is why she wandered around a
day or two, sleeping in the parks
and dark corners of buildings,
searching all day long for the NOV
ing-pieturs, studios where she
thought Mary Miles Minter might
be at work.
Who are you. little girl?" a kind
ly policeman asked her, but before
he could go any farther she had
flown down the street and into the
path OF an on-rushing automobile.
There was shrek, a thud, a quick
gathering of curious on-lookers, and
the little crumpled body of the girl
was dragged from under the auto
mobile and carried into a drug
store.
WHO are your" they asked her
when she was taken from there to
the emergency hospital. The little
girl looked at them for a minute
with her great dazed eyes, then
searching through her maze Of mem
ories, replied unswervingly, Mary
Miles Minter."
Like streak of lightning through
a stormy sky the news that Mary
Miles Minter had been injured and
was in the hospital sped down the
corridors from the doctors to the
nurses, from the nurses to the re-
porters and from the reporters to
the laundering presses.
There was a wild attempt to locate
Mary's family-the studio was agog
with cxcitement-but, fortunately for
Mary and her mother, they were far
out on location and could not be
found until the story had blown over
and the truth had come to light.
The little country girl lived, and
II was Mary Miles Minter who saw
she was cared for through the long
weeks Of her illness and who later
sent her home to her family with
the comfortable assurance that she
would be guarded and looked after
as long as she was in need.
