Kidney Disorder
CBy DIR. L. c. BABcoCK.)

Simple methods are usually the most
effective ones when treating any dis
order of the human system. The mere
drinking a cup of hot water each
morning. plenty of pure water all day,
and little Anuric before every meal
has been found the most effective
means of overcoming kidney trouble
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache, de-
pressions, aches. pains heaviness,
drowsiness, irritabiEty, headaches, chill
iness, rheumatic twinges, swollen joints,
gout.
1t is such a simple matter to step
into your favorite drug store and OBJ
tain Anuric, which was first discovered
by DR.. Pierce, of the Surgical Insti-
tute, Buffalo, N. Y. Every druggist
dispenses it.
All people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are
prone to eat too much meat and in con-
sequence deposit uric acid (uratic
sslts) in their tissues and joints They
often suffer from .winges of rheuma-
tism or lumbago sometimes from gout,
swollen hands or feet. Such people are
not always able to exercise sufficiently
IN the outdoor air in order to sweat
freely and excrete impurities through
the skin. Anuric viii overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings. cold extremities, scalding
and burning urine and sleeplessness
due to constant need of getting out of
bed at night, by carrying off the uric
acid poison.-Ady.

FREIGHT DEMURRAGE
CHARGES CONDEMNED

Claiming that the new freight demur-
rage charges viii be q hardship to deal
ers, Theodore Michael, grain and feed
dealer at % New York avenue northeast,
has called the attention Of the Wash
ington Chamber Of Commerce to the
new schedule. which the railroad COM
panies proposed to put into effect Deoem-
ber 1. but which action the Interstate
Commerce Commission has ordered held
up until March 1.
OF 81 for the first day on freight left
IN the yards after the expiration of the
4S hours allowed as free time, 50 for the
second day. 81 for the third and IS for
the fifth day. Washington dealers con-
tend that these charges are prohibitive.
The matter was referred to John L.
Newbold. chairman of the committee on
transportation and freight rates.

TEACHERS NAY REVISE
RETIREMENT PROGRAM
Probably VIII Pattern Measure After
Law in Effect in Chicago.

There Il q probability that the wash
ingtcn teachers retirement BIN win be
completely revised. It was learned yes
terday that It proposed to pattern the
measure after the Chicago law. This in
formation gave rise to considerable COM
ment among teachers.
A visit to this city by Mrs. Ida L. Furs-
man. president Of the Chicago Teachers
Union, has caused those working for the
local bill to hesitate before making q
tinai decision. Herbert d. Brown, chief
Of the United States Bureau Of Efficiency,
who drew up the bill, 10 favorable i'm
pressed by the information given by Mrs.
Fursman.
An Important change which has been
suggested by Mrs. Fursman's ideas b In
respect to the cost to teachers. As the
bill now stands, Washington teachers
would have to contribute annually so to
30. according to their salaries, to form a
tension fund. II is proposed that the
governments share OF payments for each
teacher shall be g.
In Chicago It Is more Of a fifty-fifty
proposition All teachers are taxed on q
uniform basis, regardless of their salar-
les. Their rate Is IS annually for the
first three years, so annually for the next
three years, S15 annually for the follow
Ing three years, and so annually for the
remaining years until retirement The
city contributes an amount equal to the
share Of each teacher.
This Is regarded as q much fairer
method of establishing q pension fund
than the one proposed in the bill now
under consideration by Washington each
srs- II the bin will not be revised to be
Identical with the Chicago law In this
respect, II IL believed that the rate Of
contribution will be greatly reduced. A
number Of teachers have complained that
they could not share in the pension move
ment with the proposed rate.

LOWEST TARIFF
COLLECTION ON RECORD

The lowest duty rate recorded by the
Underwood law since its enactment
was the lemon handed to Uncle Sam
by that tariff law the week ended De-
cember 25th, 1915. On imports total
ing $50, 799, 642, there was paid into
the federal treasury revenue in the
sum of $2,6s5, $3.50, or an average rate
OF duty on imports entered at ;hs 3
principal customs districts of the Unit
ed States of 81 per cent for the week.
Secretary McAdoo must have INDUCED
in a little lurid language when he
found that measly contribution to the
public revenues in the treasury's Christ
mas stocking. No wonder he wants to
tax gasoline, horsepower, and various
other things" TO quote from his an
nual report. Imports are coming in as
never before, but they the coming in
for the most part free of duty.

THE LATEST
MEXICAN OUTRAGE

The other day nineteen American
citizens were taken from train in Mex.
leo, lined up, shot to death and their
bodies piled in a heap. Meanwhile the
Washington matrimonial bureau -four
ishes and the Democratic administra-
ton continues its policy of watehful
waiting.
The protection of American lives
and property by this government has
become a joke with all the nations OF
the earth. Whenever any of the bel
ligerent powers of Europe wish to
blow up a ship, they do not stop to
ascertain if there are any Americans
aboard, knowing full well that should
a number of our citizens be killed it
would only mean an exchange of a few
diplomatic notes, at most.
Since the Civil war there has never
been such another shifty, Facilitating
administration as the present N 1T
will doubtless go down in history as
the country's great political failure.
When American marines were land
ed at Vera Cruz they should have been
kept there until Mexico was paeifed,
although it would probably have been a
matter of many years.

No Agents Needed
To Secure Pensions

Mrs. Sara Il. Drager, wife Of A. w.
Drager, an old soldier who died here
last spring, through Roland Glover,
secretary of Representative w. C.
Hawley, received yesterday her first
pension check from the United States
government. Mr.. Glover has sent the
names of 155 pension claimants TO
Washington, who come under the new
pension law that went into effect
September s, 1916. He has sent out
several hundred application blanks to
persons who might be entitled to PEN
sions. The new law allows the widow
of soldier, sailor, or marine who has
reached the age of 20 years to write
to the Commissioner of Pensions and
state her pension certificate number,
name and service of the soldier, and
other redtape matters, and she will he
granted an increase in her pension
without aid of claim agent or attor-
ney, whose services will not be recog-
nized by the government.
