Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nlze that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y, DIR. Pierce discovered a
combination Of native remedies that
he called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and In this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma-
tlon subslde. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anurlc at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and Ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you

Youth Was Too Previous.

An excellent story is told by Walter
Passmore, the comedian, with reference
to a friend of his who was studying
in order to pass an examination. The
father had promised the young man
that If he passed successfully he
should have sufficient money to defray
the expenses of trip to the continent.
The student was so certain he would
pass that, directly the examination was
over, he rushed off to make the prep
arations for his journey, leaving Mr..
Passmore instructions to wire him the
result next morning. However, In spite
Of his confidence, the young fellow
failed to pass, and so Mr.. PassmOre
wired as follows:
"Trip Off-PassmOre."
'He thought meant him to trip
off," says Mr.. Passmore, so he did
trip off with his fathers money In his
pocket, and did not find out that he
had failed until he met his angry pa
rent on his return. Explanations fol-
lowed, but next time he stayed to get
the result for himself"

TOO MANY KANSAS COURTS
District Judge RuppenthaI Of Russell
County Writes Governor capper
of Need for Reform.

The biggest reform Kansas needs
right now is change in the court
system of the state. This is the view
of ]. c. Ruppenthal, Judge of the dis
trict court in Russell county. In a
letter to Governor Capper, Judge Rup-
penthal indicts the Kansas court sys-
tenn, which he says is better than
most states but not good enough for
Kansas"
I'VE have too many courts, too
many judges, too many different kinds
of courts" Judge Ruppenthal said.
I'VE have too complicated procedure,
too many court officials, too little flex-
ibility, too little provision for ade-
Quately doing the court work fully at
all times and places under al circum-
stances. We have too many unframed,
inexperienced Judges too many
courts with no legal training. We
let one judge work $50 to 500 days in
year, and twenty-five miles away is
another who works only seventy-five
or one hundred days, it is said. If
work pies up FOR any reason IN one
district, we have no provision to re-
duce it. even if the next judge has
nothing to do.
Our people are needlessly confused
by the number of courts and the need
of certain technical knowledge where
to go for any particular kind of relief
or redress. We have too many differ
ent county officials, each doing part
of the clerical work of the judicial
department of government.
Our system of handling moneys in
court is wasteful and antiquated. At
all times in Kansas there are probably
$1,000,000, and maybe more, in the
hands of courts with no definite pub
lie supervision or control, no public
deposit, no public accounting, exami-
nation or report; in a way private
spoil as to its income"

BITS About BABIES
FACTS ELUcIDAT.
ED BY WOMAN MEDIco.
Infants Smile, She Says, ls a Much
Misunderstood Thing - jealousy
and Sympathy Manifest Them
selves in the Second Year.

In the course Of a lecture q distin.
guished woman physician said that the
Inability Of baby to hold up its head
was not due to the weakness of the
neck, but to the lack of development
of its will power, an exchange remarks.
The, act of standing was instructive
aud initiative, while facial expression
and gesture were due almost wholly to
imitation.
A baby's smile, she said, was the
most misunderstood thing In infancy.
A real smile must have an idea behind
1t, but the expression resembling
smile which is so often seen on u very
young baby's face was without an idea
and was due to the easy condition of
the stomach or to some other physical
satisfaction.
The smile with an idea does not ap-
pear earlier than the fourth week. So,
too, with the crying of a baby. The
cOntortion of the features is due to
physical causes. The baby sheds no
tears, because the lachrymal glands
are not developed for several weeks
after birth.
The chief pleasure of all children Is
to change from one condition to an.
other by their own effort. This is the
beginning of the development of the
will power, and is often attested in
what has been called the imperative
intention Of tears" This is not dis
closed until after the second or third
month.
A baby tests everything by its mouth,
its sense Of taste being the surest and
most reliable guide 1t has.
The attention Of all young children
is difficult to attract, and they must at
tain considerable age before they begin
to notice. Then colors and sounds are
most potential. Fear has been known
to be manifested by baby only three
weeks old, and in all cases the sensa-
tion is produced by sound more than
by sight.
Children of luxurious and carefully
guarded homes are almost wholly with
out fear, but the children of poor and
exposed parents always manifest 1t.
Jealousy and sympathy begin to
manifest themselves in the second year.
Curiosity also begins to develop here,
and proves to be self-feeder through
out childhood. A little later the ego
begins to appear and the baby has the
first consciousness Of itself.
The ego first appears as muscular
sense, and the infant gradually learns
to distinguish itself from surrounding
objects. 1t is first the hand that is dis
tinguished, and then the foot, and final
ly the whole body.
Memory does not appear befoVe the
child is two years Of age. All the rea-
sonlng of children is primitive and ele-
mentary and develops slowly. Darwin
noted an association of ideas in the
mind of his child when 1t was only five
months Of age.
The lecturer related experiences of
babies with the first view of mirrors
and showed that their actions under
the new conditions were similar to
those of anthropoid apes and dogs un-
der like conditions.
