TREATMENT OF WAR VETERAN
Bed He Was Compelled to Sleep on
Was Uncomfortable, but Was
Well Supplied. With Legs.

An army officer said at dinner:
"The mutilated young heroes of the
world war will be very finely treated
for a few years; then afterward they
will be treated no better, but probably
worse, than anybody else.
Look at our own Civil war veter-
ans. Nothing very wonderful about
their treatment, Ell?
Il remember a Civil war veteran
with enc leg who went to Ocean Grove
one summer. His bedroom was clean,
but the bed was most uncomfortable,
and in the morning he said to his land
lady:
"I couldn't sleep last night, ma'am
The room was clean, but the bed was
more uncomfortable than the rocky
fields l used to sleep in on my cam
paigns. The bed, in fact, is unsteady
ma'am. 1t has only three legs
"'Only got three legs, eh?' sneered
the landlady. Well, you old groucher
that's two more'n you've got!'"

with poisonous waste matter, which
settles in the feet, ankles and wrists;
or under the eyes in bag-like forma-
tions.
1t is just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep tho
bowels active.
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take a glass of
hot water before meals and an "Anu-
ric" tablet In this way it is readily
dissolved with the food, picked up by
the blood and finally reaches the kid
neys, where it has tonic effect in re-
building those organs.
Step into the drug store and ask for
50cent package of "Anuric" or send
DIR. Pierce Toe. for trial pckg. "Anuric"
many times more potent than hthia,
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

THE PEOPLES NAVY.

The overwhelming vote in the
House of 2S3 to 81 marks the final
discontinue OF the little navy men
and promises the restoration Of the
navy to its old position. second only
to the fleet Of Great Britain. This is
a striking victory for common sense
and foresight. It is equally a strik-
ing victory for the popular will work
ing against Congressional pettlness
and cowardliness.
The disheartening factor in the
whole movement for preparedness
has been the failure Of our national
legislators to reflect popular sentl-
ment. In apportioning blame there
can be no question that President
Wilson's early sneers at all military
foresight and his prolonged reluct-
ance to lead take first rank His final.
helated conversion to the cause. ex-
pressed in an emotional plea for the
largest navy in the world, probabsS
did more harm than good. In the
face Of such vaeillation and weak
ness at the head of the nation it is
scarcely to be wondered that action
in the House has been slow to de-
velop and most difficult to conclude.
The present vote in the House is,
therefore. far more than a legislative
victory. Il is the visible record OF q
growth of popular opinion in over
whelming strength. II signifies that
the American people have so prog
resSed in conviction that not even
parochially minded politicians could
ignore their demand.
With such an example Of slow sue
cess. there is still hope that a salts
factory development of our second
line of defences. our land forces. may
yet follow. The debate must go on.
From the present Administration
there is little to expect. A new Con-
gress may see the light It is for
the voters to determine their needs
and resolutely demand that they be
met.

hood, but the art may be readily ac-
quired by any one who is active enough
to 90 into the water at all.
Timidity keeps many bathers from
learning this very important art. They
permit nameless terrors to deprive them
of what is at once a great Joy and a
safeguard against disaster. Such per-
sons should never 60 in the water at
all, except where there are ropes to
mark the limits where they may 20, and
guards to look after them.
IL is true that one often reads OF
good swimmers" being drowned. But
usually it will be found that, notwith-
standing their proficiency in natation.
they have shown bad judgment taking
unnecessary risks, attempting fool
hardy feats, or indulging in too violent
exercise for their physical condition.
Many swimmers do not allow sufficient
time to elapse after a hearty meal. or
after getting greatly heated up, but 90
into the water too soon. Crampsc are
likely to seize those who do not take
this precaution.
Bathing is like any other pastime. Il

with Judgment. Thus enjoyed. it is one
Of the most healthful forms of exercise

purposes, resolving themselves at
last into an unyielding determination
to adhere to no resolution. Mr.. Will
son exhibits once more the curious

the impulse of tomorrow.

DR.. Wilson would award to himself;
but he does not stay put.
