Annoying Troubles Of Heart. Stomach
and Digestion AL Removed.

To look at Mr.. David T. Remington,
Of Springfield, Mass, one would say,
"he is as sound as nut"
And so he is, thanks to the new
combination of purifying and build
lng-up treatment embodied in Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills.
These two remedies working to-
gether are accomplishing wonders.
Mr.. Remington is well known, hav-
ing been 2l years in the State House
IN Boston as Senate Doorkeeper and
SeTgeart-at-Arms.
He had annoying symptoms about
his heari. stomach and digestive or
gas. His old friend, Senator George
4. Putnam. of Lowell, urged him to
take course of Hoods Sarsaparilla
and Peptiron Pills, which he did, and
says,-"I never felt better. I can
walk from my house down town and
back, a mile and a, half each way"
These medicines are sold by drug

Balkan Policy is Planned by
Kaiser and Bulgarian Hing

Berlin, via London-The visit ot
King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, to the
German emperor at eastern headquar.
ters is being made the occasion of an
important conference on the near-east-
ern situation, particularly that in the
Balkans.
King Ferdinand is accompanied by
the chief of his cabinet, while the I'm
perial German Chancellor, DR., Won
Bethmann- Hollweg, is in attendance
on the German emperor as his respon-
sible political adviser. The other Teu-
tonic allied governments also are rep
resented at the conference, which, it
is understood, will not be without
effect upon the future grouping in the
Balkans.
While apparently there is no inclin-
alton to divide the lions skin before
the animal is killed, it is considered
advisable and timely, in view of Rou-
mania's entry into the war, and the
Greek attitude, to discuss certain ques-
tions of general policy and the aims of
the Teutonic allies in the near-east.
Concrete proposals, however, are not
under review. The conference rather
is devoted to general survey of the
situation, and study of the general
lines of the Balkans policy.

American Warning TO Stay Out
Of Mexico May Be Revoked

New London, Conn.-With the bor-
der situation set aside temporarily, the
American-Mexican joint commission
devoted itself Tuesday to determining
the extent of the control exercised in
Mexico by the de facto government,
the information being supplied by the
Mexican commissioners at the request
of their American conferees.
1t was stated informally that upon
the showing made by the Carranza
government rested the possibility that
the Washington government would re-
woke its warning to Americans to stay
out of Mexico, and would encourage
their return to their properties there.
1t was explained that the question
of transportation was vital to any re-
sumption of industry in Mexico, and to
show present conditions the Mexican
commissioners presented figures from
which the following conclusion was
drawn in formal statement issued by
Secretary Lane.
"The data presented by the Mexican
commissioners indicated that the gov
ernment roads now are being operated
with large degree of regularity, and
that the roads owned by private COM
panies are being turned over to these
companies, the only exceptions at the
present time being line in the feder-
al district, one in the state of Hidalgo,
and the United Railways of Yucatan.

Why "a AngzrHc ~ IL an
IN SUR A NcE
Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick head
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
OF sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
vAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
WAnuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with otEer
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
we'll as regulating blood pressure.
wAnuric' is 0 regular insurance and
liie-sayer for oil big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their Joints.
Ask the druggist for vAnuricn put up

TWO ls comnanx.

After saying his prayers at nigh
the 7-year-old son of parents in BryI
Mawr announced that he was so tiret
Of the kind of life he was compelled
to lead that he believed there was
nothing for 1t but for him to run away
The father considered the matter
thoughtfully, and then said:
George, If that is the way you feel,
there is money in my purse here, you
may take 1t all.'
The boy packed up his grip, got to
the front door, came back on the
ground of having forgotten his tooth
brush, and went downstairs again. The
parents were much disturbed to know
what he would do. He opened the
front door, went out on the veranda,
and all was silence. The father and
mother looked at each other, but
thought the course they had adopted
the best, and hence did not make a
move.
After 15 minutes Of intense anxiety
the door opened and boys voice
called out: Say, dad, If I'm going
away alone I'd better take mother
along, don't you think ?"-Pittsburg

Too Much to Ask.

A party of engineers were tracing a
township line across some farm lands
in Illinois. As chance would have 1t,
the line passed directly through a
large barn, having double doors on
each side of it, and they found they
could continue their measurements
through the barn by opening the doors
and thus avoiding the dreaded detour.
The owner watched their progress
with considerable interest, but made
no comment until they had reached
the farther side of the barn, when he
asked:
THAT a railroad ye-all surveyin
for?"
Certainly" replied the chief, with
humorous twinkle in his eye.
The farmer meditated a bit as he
closed the barn doors behind them,
when he remarked somewhat aggres-
sively: Il hain't got no objections ter
havin' 'er railroad on my farm, but
I'll be darned eff I'm goin' ter git up
at all hours of the night ter open and
shet them doors fer yer train ter go
through. Youths Companion.
