(2) When animals, such as coy
otes, dogs, cats and swine are allowed
to feed on rabies carcasses. Such an
ill-advised method OF carcass disposal
is always dangerous, and in the case
of rabies emphatically so. Although
experimental feeding of rabid brains
to dogs has not produced the disease
except in a small percentage of cases

sons there is grave danger in leaving
carcasses exposed to animals. When
ravenous carnivorous animals gather
round a carcass there is always a
fight. During the fray they inflict
bites upon each other when their
mouths and teeth are heavily coated
with rabies producing material. Again

1915 BUSINESS PRos7Ecrs.

Whatever may be the economic
reactions after the close Of the war
in Europe, It cannot now be gainsaid
that all signs point to substantial
prosperity during 1916. The various
indicators of good times upon which
business men are accustomed to place
reliance, such as the bank c1earings,
the trade balance, the steel output,
railroad earnings, were analysed IN
these columns several weeks ago.
They were almost unanimous in point
ing toward conditions much more
favorable than those a year previous,
says the Economic World.
Now, with the opening OF the new
year, various editors and experts, fol-
lowing a long establish custom. have
reviewed our economic position; and
1t may fairly be said that with one
voice they agree upon favorable
verdict This is true OF Dun's Review,
Of Bradstreet's, Of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, and Of the New
York Evening Post. Typical also Of
this attitude IS the statement Issued
by the chamber Of commerce Of the
United States That the outlook for
better business for the first four
months of 1916 is in striking contrast
to that prevailing this time last year
is the opinion expressed In a report
Just submitted by the committee on
statistics and standards of the nation
al chamber There are localities
where much caution and conservatism
vet remain. and the influence of high
prices for the future further accentu-
ates this caution because dealers feel
that high prices will curtail buying
by the consumer Broadly speaking.
the report goes on. 1t may be said that
the spirit of optimism and hopeful
ness prevails to a degree that has not
Leen apparent for nearly q century,
and the general belief and expectation
is for such prosperity during 1916 as
will recompense the people Of this
country for all their past rnfsfortunes.
Referring specifically to conditions
caused by the Furo7eau war the re-
mort Of this committee, OF which A w.
Douglas. Of ST. Louis, is chairman,
says:

in Europe still prevails in some sec

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES.

Sight being quite as valuable as
life itself, the admonition would
seem to be unnecessary that the
eyes should be scrupulously cared
for. Yet, as matter of fact, the
waiting rooms Of city and country
oculists alike, are crowded, day after
day and week after week, by people
who have been criminally negligent
of their vision Reading too fine
print, unleaded and often on glossy
paper, is responsible for much OF the
mischief. Poor illumination is an
other destructive agency. Overindul-
gence in tobacco or alcohol and read
ing too soon after recovery from an
acute Illness, play also part In the
throwing away Of sight. One OF the
least excusable Of agencies Is the
use of proprietary nostrums. both
made and sold by men who know
little or nothing about the eye and,
in addition. have never examined the
eyes of the individual patient, says
the Quincy Journal. These nos
trums are generally advertised as

substances well known to educated
oculists, and which are useful or

1ARlEE RATES.

A low record for the underwood
law as revenue producer was chalk
ed up the week ended December rs.
1915. The average duty rate for the
week was ST., the worst showing thus
far made by the Underwood tariff
since it's enactment in October. 1913.
President Wilson and Senator Under
wood ought to be proud Of the christ
mas present to Uncle Sam which
their tariff folly produced. On i'm
ports valued at s3O,799,642, entered
at the thirteen principal customs dis
tricts of the United States, revenue
was collected in the sum OF $685.
866. That accounts for Secretary Nc
Adoo's financial juggiery. and his de-
sire TO levy tax on everything from
tombstones to false teeth. He is at
his wits end trying to make both
ends meet. Everything going out and
nothing coming in. SO far as reve-
nues are concerned.

Il ANUR1Cp
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This Ia a recent discovery OF Doctor
Pierce. who is head of the 1nvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
tina. can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms OF infian-
nation -as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urinatien, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or ii uric acid IN the
blood has caused rheumatism, 1t is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for 50-cent package OF
q Anuric,n manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him sample OF your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE French scientists affirm that
'Anuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but ehould be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,

sibility of this country being involv-
ed in the gigantic strife; but as
against this the large portion Of the
people are paying less and less at
tention to the war and more and more
are concentrating their thoughts and
efforts on domestic matters. Beyond
this is the striking fact that the in
fiuence of the war at present, as a
verse, because of the tremendous
impetus it has given TO certain lines
OF manufacturing, especially east OF
the AIleghanies, and likewise to many
agricultural products. This influence
is a material factor in the present
high prices Of sheep. cattle. wool,
grain. and OF the products OF leather,
steel, iron. copper, brass, lead and
zinc or spelter. Much Of the pros
perity in the grain-raising section. is
due to the fact that the farmer is
selling freely because OF remunera-
tive figures for his product, and there
seems to be no manner of doubt but
that these prices will decline mater
tally in case Of peace. While there
are many conjectures as to the con-
seauent effect upon business Of such
contingency, the general belief CEN
ters around the conviction that the
war will last for some time and that
the part OF wisdom is to make the
most of the present situation, re-
grettable as 1t is, and not take undue
thought of the morrow by attempting
to forecast the likelihood OF what will
happen If peace Is declared. since
there seem to be no stable analogies
nor precedents In the past on which
