one of his long ears.
"Are you crazy, Peter?" she de.

that this uric acid poison is present
In the joints. muscles or nerves. BY
experimenting and analysis at the In

In Buffalo. n. Y, Dr. Pierce discovered
a combination of native remedies that
he called "Anurlc"-which drives out
the uric acid from the system, and in
this way the pain. swelling and lntIam-
nation subside. II you are n sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, pains
here or there, you can obtain "Anuric"
at any drug store and get relief from
the pains and ills brought about by,

WOMEN ARE
RESPONSIBLE
FOR CRUSADE
Against Smoke According to
Osborn Monnett of the City
of Chicago in Speech.
fnY A1rocIATrn r.r..,

PITTSBURG. Oct. Women are
responsible for the crusade against
smoke according TO Osborn Monnett.
former smoke inspector of Chicago. in
speech here today in connection
with the Smoke Abatement Week
celebration
In each city in this country" said
Mr.. Monnett, !" in which a vigorous
campaign is being carried on against
the smoke nuisance, you will find that
the movement was inaugurated by
women.
There are very good reasons why
women should be interested in the
smoke abatement movement. The
biggest industry in the country is not
steel, nor automobiles nor moving
pictures, but housekeeping. More
money Is spent in housekeeping than
on any two OF the big industries OF
the United States. Yet very little
united effort is made in the cities to
prevent destruction Of this great in
dustry by smoke and dirt.
IAN average taken OF the damage
one by smoke in Chicago, Cincinnati,
Buffalo and Cleveland shows that the
per capita cost is nearly s12, or about
$50 per year per family. The smoke
Investigation OF the Mellon Institute
figures that the percap!ta cost OF tho
smoke nuisance In Plttsburg was
about SEQ, or 800 per family. What
family in your knowledge is able to
spend this amount for damage done
by smoke and dirt?

concerning education II will he
asked to change some Of tho statutSa

The school department will ask
the legislature to provide means
of euualizing school conditions and
whether this can be done bost by
making the state the unit OF taxation
for school purposes is question that
will have to be worked out by the
legislature.
Under the present system, Harris

the physical conditions in the coun-
ties are such as TO make Calhoun, as
we'll as many other counties suffer In
comparison.
By making the state the unit OF

VICTORY
In This State for the Republic
can Party Greater Than
Ever Robinson Says.

WELI4SBURG, Oct. 25-Judge Ira
E. Robinson, Republican nominee for
governor, arrived here this morning
to attend the Brooke county barba-
cue. He was full of confidence af-
ter completing tour through the
counties in the lower end Of the
state and declared that the Repub-
iican party in his opinion would win
a greater victory in West Virginia
this year than ever.
There is no doubt that Rob
inson has made wonderful gains over
his opponent within the last two
weeks. Straw votes taken during
the last week in Logan, Kanawha.
Mercer, Roane and other counties in
that section indicate that he will not
only get all the Republican votes
there but that he will get more than
the usual majority. Last night the
judge addressed the biggest political
meeting ever held In the town oil

dollar Judged in the light OF that
definition the much Landed prosper
ity' that exists under the present
administration is looked upon in the
light Of a Joke by residents al the

the country. have much TO do with
the fact that more voters are going
to their home state from The capital
for tho coming election. than at any
time in years past, When the cost Of

when the increase in the cnst Of me-
