GAVE HIS WIFE A SURPRISE
Indiana Man, Dressed for Festive Oc-
ceson, Was Taken by Spouse
for Bold Burglar.

member of the degree team of the
Columbus lodge of Eagles was getting
himself ready to 90 to Greensburg,
where the Columbus team was to give
the work to class of candidates, re-
lates the Indianapolis News. Each
member of the Columbus team was to
wear a dress suit. This member did
not have any evening clothes, so he
borrowed an outfit, including a boiled
shirt. high collar and white tie. He
got home rather late and found his
wife in bed asleep. He wished to try
the thing on to see just how he looked.
SO, after dint of much nervous eXpen-
diture, he had everything in shape and
rather admired himself i'm the mirror.
He felt it was a shame for his wife
to miss the great sight, so he went into
the bedroom, shook her gently and
waited for her to awaken. The woman
opened her eyes and looked into the
face of Il strange man attired in fash
ionable evening clothes. She gave one
scream and ducked under the cover.
Go away, 60 away" she begged the
supposed gentleman burglar, 1--WE
haven't any money"
Nobody knows that any better than
| do" her husband retorted, but that's
no reason why you should carry on
like this"
Then she recognized his voice, came
from under the covers and admired
him to his hearts content.

BACKACHE
(By L. II. SMITH, NJ. d.

In spite of the best care one takes
or oneself, any part of the human ma
chine is liable TO become out of order.
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the Scivengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood Their sig
nails of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache, depressions, drowsiness. trrita-
bility, headaches, dizziness. rheumatic
twinges, dropsy, govt.
The very best way to restore the kid
neys to their normal state is to drink
plentr of pure water and obtain small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed
by most every druggist. Anuric is in
expensive and should be taken before
meals 1t is much more potent than

Here's another neighborhood story
from Columbia, Tenn.
An aged mother, it seems, was scold-

exclaimed, "to be chawin' tobaccer and
smokin' that old pipe? You are jes'
ruinin' your health"
"But listen, ma" replied her son, 81

"but maybe If you didn't chaw an

lithia and many will find that Anurie
dissolves uric acid as water does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly working,
separating the poisons from the blood.
Under this continual and perpetual
action they are apt to longest. and then
trouble starts. Uric acid backs up into
the system, causing rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, dropsy and many other serious
disturbances. II means that you are u
victim TO uric acid poisoning. Then ask
your druggist for Anuric. which was
first discovered by DR.. Pierce of the
Surgical Institute in Buffalo. N. Y.
and which is dispensed by nearly every
druggist in the land.-Adv.

PAN-IsLAM

We have heard much 1f late of Pan-G -Germanfsrn and Pan-Slavisna, and of the menace they may possibly hold for the peace and security of the world. More to be feared than either, perhaps, is the possibility, still dim and remote,. of the realization of the old MosIem dream of a Pan-Islan. To bring together into a militant mass, animated by a common spirit, all the hordes of Islam, would be to threaten Christendon, yet that is what some of the war. There seems little foun- dation for such a fear just now, but in this era of transition there is no foretelIing what the future may hold. The caliphate of Islam is now nomi- nal1y held by the Sultan of Turkey, but his right to pose as the head of the faithful and the successor of the Prophet has long been denied by the great majority of the followers of
 Iohammed. It is to this circumstance, more than to any other, that Christen- dom owes its security from the Mos lem plague. The bitter hatred and fanaticism which once made the fol- lowers of Mohammed so formidable to the Christian world has not diminish ed with the passing of the centuries. The Mohammedan of today is filled with the same spirit as impe1led his ancestors to carry the Crescent through Spain to the Pyrenees and through southeastern Europe to the very gates of Vienna. There are some 225!000,OO0 Moflammedans in the world. but only a comparative few look upon the Ottoman Sultan as the Caliph. This internal dissension has prevented the realization of the dream of Pan-1slam. If sparks from the European conflagration should fire the religious fanaticisn of the MosIem world and bring about a reconciliation between the warning sects, warning Christendom might have to compose it's differences in order to present a united front to the common foe.
