new F0OD-PRESERVING IDEA
BY French Process Contents Of Boxes
Are Kept HeaIthful by Means
of Inert Gas.

A method has been invented for pre-
serving various food or other prod
ucts, and especially milk powder. the
idea being based upon placing the sub
stance in q sealed vessel or packing
case with inert gas, so that this latter
prevents the usual spelling of contents
by the action of the air.
In a French patented process the
milk powder is packed in metal boxes
of convenient size, which are entirely
sealed except for a pinhole that is left
at the top. A number of such boxes
are put in a chamber and the air Is
exhausted by means of an air pump.
The valves are then opened, which al
lows nitrogen to enter the chamber
and fill up the several boxes. When
opening up the chamber the boxes are
quickly removed and the pinhole SOL
dered before an appreciate amount OF
air has time to enter. In this way the
contents of the boxes are kept in an
atmosphere of intert gas.

Battle of the Herrings.

There is in French-English history
an occurrence known as the Battle of
the Herrings. On the outskirts of the
great Forest of Orleans, and not far
from the city of the same name, is a
town known as Rouvray, and it was
here that the Battle of the Herrings
was fought in 1929. The English were
besieging the city of Orleans. before
the famous heroine Joan of Arc, ar
rived. In the preparation for Lent the
English were bringing in a supply of
fish to their camp, when the French
attacked, but were beaten off, and the
contest hence was called the Battle
of the Herrings."

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize 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-
oerimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered
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 infiamma-
ton subside. If you are 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 uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will fnd many
times more potent than ltthla and
elimiaates uric acid as hot water melts
