SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well 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 poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease. or
disease OF brain or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such a
risk TO send 10 cents for q sample
package OF "Anuric" the latest dis.
covery of DIR. Pierce. Also send q
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, worn-out feeling, it's
time TO write DR.. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without charge-ahsolutely free. This
eAnuric" of Doctor Pierce's Is found
10 be 81 times more active than lithia,
for 1t dissolves uric acid In the system
as hot water does sugar.

An InsidIous Free Trade Lobby,

AS might be expected, Democrats
In Congress have been very much EN-
Earrassed by recent disclosures re-
garding the "slush fund" raised by
italian lemon importers for the pur-
pose OF influencing tariff Legislation
In this country in 1918.
Al the very time when President
Wilson denounced as an ''Insidious
lobby" the business men of the Unit
ed States. who We're in Washington
cndeavoring to prevent legislation
for the benefit of foreign producers.
the lemon trust OF Italy was spend
ing $4,000 for the purpose of de-
siroying the protective tariff on LEM
ons to the injury of lemon producers
In Florida and California and for the
benefit OF lemon producers in Italy.
President Wilson drove away from
Washington the business men who
were advocating America first" but
he had nothing TO say In criticism OF
the men who were spending money to
promote Italy frst.
The Democratic Congress passed
and President Wilson signed the leg
islation desired by the lemon produc-
ers of Italy and opposed by the lemon
producers OF America. This legisla-
ton was passed on the theory that
IL would give the American consumer
lemons at a lower price. 1t had no
such effect. 1t merely transferred a
large part OF the market to Italy.
while California lemon growers
found 1t difficult TO sell their crop
at a living price. The middle-man,
who bought his lemons in Italy mere
~ made a larger profit and retailed
his lemons to the consumer at the
same old price.
The need of an import duty on lem
ons was demonstrated by Senator
Works, OF California. in an address
before the Senate a few days ago.
Senator Works showed that even with
the Republican tariff Of one and one
half cents a pound. foreign growers
were able to compete with American
producers and the government re-
ceiyed a revenue Of about S2.000,000
year. The Underwood law reduced
the duty to one-half cent per pound.
this small measure of protection
probably being retained because lem
ons are produced In Florida, one OF
the states Of the Solid South.
When the Democrats were about
to pass their bill retaining the duty
on sugar. which is largely product
OF the gulf states, Senator Works
moved an amendment placing a duty
Of one cent per pound on lemons. He
argued that lemons and sugar often
go together and this Is time when
they should not be separated. Need
