New Strength for Lame Backs
and Worn-out Conditions
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
| suffered from lame back and a
tired, worn-out feeling. Was unable to
stand erect and scarcely able to get
around. 1t would usually come on at
first with crick in small of my back.
/ took Anuric Tablets and my back
commenced to get better. l did not
have to walk doubled over as | did
before using the "Anuric." It is the
best remedy l have ever taken for
what 1t is intended to relieve.
A. G. DRAKE.
NoTE:--When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog, you suffer from
backache, sick-headache, dizzy spells,
or the twinges and pains of lumbago,
rheumatism and gout. "Anurio" is the
most powerful agent In dissolving
uric acid, as hot water melts sugar.
Ask the druggist for "Anuric," nut
up by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

To Preserve Her Hair

If women would use an Anti-Septic
0il Shampoo instead of the soaps and
shampoos now 50 commonly used, they
would improve rather than injure the
delicate hair plants.
The hair plant is an oil plant and to
wash it with soaps or shampoos con-
tanning free alkaH works great injury.
1t not only cuts the natural oil of the
hair but it destroys the fatty roots of
the hair plant causing the hair to come
out.

pEFEcTs mn REPUTATION.

Defects in the present system of railroad
regulation considered in a recent bulletin
of the Railway Business association, and the
discussion is especially timely in view of the
attention the subject is expected to command
in congress during this session. The associa-
ton is national organization of manufacture
ing, mercantile and engineering concerns
which deal with steam railways, and there are
presented in it's latest bulletin the results of
study of the views of members of congress,
businessmen, lawyers and railroad managers
concerning evils which should be corrected in
order to strengthen the countrys transporta-
ton system.
Many defects in the existing plan Of regula-
ton are pointed out Not the least of the evils
with which the carriers contend is the result of
the divided authority that they must recognize.
One exceptionally clear headed student of
railroad problems has said that the most seri
Gus grievance of the railroad industry is the
fact that in addition to the activities Of state
legislatures there are forty -three state com
missions. exercising varying degrees of power,
gnided in their decisions by no fixed rules
ether jurisdiction and their DEGREES conflict
ing with upsetting those of each other and of
the interstate commerce commission" Anoth-
er defect calling for immediate correction is
that shippers of one commodity suffer discrim-
nation when another commodity pays less
than It's share of the total cost of Transportation
There is pretty general agreement that the
present body of railroad laws ought to be de-
moshed, and there is absolute agreement tn at
III creating new structure congress should. be
guided by expert opinion, which takes account
OF the fact that there can be no permanent
prosperity in which the railroads do not share.

HONOR THE POSTAL WORKERS.

Franklin and other dignitaries get most of
the honors when it comes to the designing OF
United States postage stamps. The special
delivery stamp, as an exception, departs radi-
cally from the conventional design. This has
a speeding messenger bicycle-quite typi-
cal of the special delivery service. Why not
give more recognition to the faithful men and
women who bear the heat and burden Of the
postal service? Why not put on the face OF
stamps of different denominations, figures of
carriers-city and rural; mail clerks at work
in postoffces and on railway trains; and other
designs depicting the operations of the postal
service7
This would place emphasis where credit is
duet would impress the public with the in
valuable services of these faithful men and
women who, constituting our stupendous sys-
tenn, bring the peoples mail to their doors
with such wonderful swiftness and sureness-
The postoffce workers are entitled to this hon
or It will entail no lowering of the dignity of
the government nor Of this great service to
give recognition to the great army of workers
whose concerted expert labors have brought
the postal facilities of the United States to the
high state of efficiency prevailing today.

Remedy Prescribed
BY Many Doctors
Compound Of Simple Laxative Herbs
Proves Most Efficient.

DR.. w. A. Evans. writing for the
Chicago Tribune, makes the assertion
that practically everyone, at some time
Tor other, suffers from constipation.
This applies regardless of age or con-
|dition In life.
The congestion OF stomach waste In
the bowels Is evidenced in various
ways; bloat. eructation of foul stom-
'ach gases, sick headache, langour. all
indicate constipation. and call for
prompt attention, not only to relieve
the present discomfort but also to
avoid possible disease that follows
neglect OF this important function.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
|tfves should not be employed, as these
afford only temporary relief. while
they serve to shock the entire system.
Ia mild laxative such as Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is far preferable and is
now the remedy generally used and
prescribed by many doctors. It is free
from opiate or narcotic drugs, acts
easily and pleasantly, without gripping
Tor other pain and Is a safe, effective
family remedy.

HIGH PRICES AND INITIATION.

In one respect the war has lived up to the
predictions made for it at the outset. 1t has
sent flying aloft the prices of the articles on
which the nations stricken by the war rely for
their crying needs. A review Of the price sltua-
ton published by New York newspaper pre-
sents table including upward Of thirty manu-
featured materials essential in the railroad in
dustries selling at more than eighty per
cent above the price of year ago.
Breadstuffs, fuel, the leading metals, build
ing materials and long list of drugs and
chemicals have risen to the war level, conspicu=
iously higher than any level attained in times
of peace. The surprising stampede in the
great flock of commodities is not without its
terrifying element. ''What are we coming to?''
asks the mind, cropping vainly to recover its
lost ideas of normaity. Were it not for the
abundance of work all over the country and
the high wages generally paid to labor the
price situation would be doubly calamitous.
Prices are beyond the power of this nation
to restrain at this time. Yet in one respect
the United States is failing seriously in it's
economic duty. Instead of applying the only
available brake to pr ice initiation by keeping
down the supply of paper money, the govern
ment, under the Influence of the facile federal
banking system, is permitting the issue of pa
per money, not secured by gold coin, to an ex-
tent likely to accelerate the general price in
crease Of Late though few persons, perhaps
some connected with the banking business,
realize it. exchange much in our favor as
against the belligerent powers actually has
stood slightly against us In certain of the Euro
pean neutral countries.
Money initiation, under new and untried
system of bank issue, threatens to add its dis
turbing force to the price initiation already
prevalent A weighty duty rests with the fed
eral reserve board to see that this danger is
averted.

Sioux City Tribune: Most of the

increase and the benefits of free

Atlantic News-Telegraph Amid all
this talk about preparedness there is
a thing which, it occurs to us, few
have pointed out, and that is the fact
that, while it is possible for nation
as wealthy as this, to buy big guns,
lots Of all kinds of equipment, a big
navy and a lot Of other things which
make for proper defense, there is
per cent. of this preparedness which
money cannot buy. This per cent. is
represented by the preparedness
which must come from the willing
ness of the ordinary citizen to sacri-
fee his all, if needs be, for his coun-
try, willingness to give UP life itself
when this country calls. This is, in
the last analysis, the basis on which
must be built up any program of
preparedness in country such as
this.
