wl,y 14Anurie'' Is an
 INS URANc cE 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 a 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 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 8 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 other properties, for it preserves the kdneyG in healthy condition by thoroughly cleansing them. Being so ID any 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 well as regulating blood pressure. wAnuricD is regular insurance and life~saver for all big meat eaters and those who deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask the druggist for ~Anuric" put up by Dr. Pierce, in 5O-cent packages.

STAMFORD
especiaI5 to me Farmer. )


 Stratford, March 22-Judge Howard M Curtis continued the case of Fred King of Barnum Terrace,f Stratford, alleged to- have embedded funds of the Stratford Steam Laundry of which Harry Saunders is proprietor until to- morrow morning. The continuance was granted to give King time to pro- at $25O. It was understood from au- thoritative sources today that Fred w. Nettleton and three other Stratford citizens will go his bonds. Se1ectman Nett1eton said such an action was being considered but refused to discuss the matter.
 King was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff E. Mills Tonlinson five minutes after he had been married to Miss Maude Hawkins of Fairfield by Judge Charles H. Peck. He was un- able to procure bonds yesterday. and spent the night at the police head quarters, Bridgeport.
 Mrs. Ernest Carpenter presided at the meeting of the Child Welfare club held yesterday afternoon in the DOT table building at the Center school. After the reading of. the secretary's and treasurer's reports. plans were discussed for the awakening of the in- terest of the mothers in town in the work of the club. The meeting was adjourned for two weeks in order that all members may have a chance to participate in planning the work in connection with the school gardens before formal action is taken. Great interest was manifest in the gardens last year and splendid exhibition of flowers and vegetables was held in the autuA1n. Hence, it is felt that the work should be- e/icontinued this year and also begun as soon as possible The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced later. 8

and the District of Columbia. Its first exhibition was held in Georgetown May 10, 1909, and the National Intel Hgencer of that day reported that it was attended by numerous assem- blaze of members of the society, among whom we noticed the president and his lady, the secretary of state and secretary of the treasury, the secretary of war, the comptroller, register, etc., and many other ladies and gentlemen of responsibility, This fair was main sly devoted to domestic animals and manufactures. SemiannuaI fairs were held until the spring. of 1872, when the war with England and the expiration of the time for which the society was organized caused it's discontinuance.
 The oldest existing agricultural so- ciety that holds fairs is the Berkshire Agricultural society, Pitts1eld, Mass!
 Does the manufacture of war rnuni- tions mean the production of shells, bullets, guns and all sorts of explosives only, or does it include the nanufac- ture of other supplies that army needs-for instance, clothes, shoes, etc.2
 The term is broad one and includes all supplies of all kinds used by an army.
 What does the foreign service of the United States consist of?
 In a general way the term foreign service includes consuls, but they are not diplomatic officers. The diplomat ic service includes ambassadors p1eni- potentiary, enveys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary, ministers resident, diplomatic agents, secretaries of embassy, special secretaries of lega- tion and third secretaries of embassy. Officers of the army and navy serve as military and naval attaches to some embassies and legations. The grade of ambassador was established by con gress under the second Cleveland ad- ministration. The law provided that when any foreign country should send a diplomatic representative of the grade of ambassador to the United States the president might appoint an amba ssador of the United States to that country. Congress, however, re

STRENGTH AND BEAUTY

Come with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This is blood cleanser and alternative that starts the liver and stom- ach into vigorous action. It thus assists the body to manufacture rich red blood which feeds the heart, nerves, brain and organs of the body. The organs work smoothly like machinery running in oil. You feel clean, strong and strenuous ip- stead of tired, weak and faint.

How did the United States raise money during the Revolutionary war2 Was there tariff law in those days2
 There was no United States by that name during the Revolutionary war and no intelligent financial policy. Un- der the articles of confederation, which preceded the constitution, the several states or colonies could levy taxes or impose tariff duties on foreign imports, but congress could not do either. The only resource was to borrow money or issue paper money, and congress did both to a dangerous degree. Every state or colony had its own tariff law. The articles of confederation gave congress power to make acquisitions upon the states for money, but it had no power to enforce a requiSition, and while the states were collecting tariff duties the confederation could not col lect a cent.
 What is the meaning of the Monroe doctrine?
 The Monroe doctrine is the name given to a scheme of national policy outlined by James Monroe G75S-183D while president of the United States and promulgated by him in his message to congress, dated Dec. 2, 1923. It em- bodies the principle of noninterven tion of European powers in the affairs of the western hemisphere and has been practically, though not formally, adopted by the United States.
 Where and when were the first aer- cultural fairs held?
 The first flii1 fedged agricultural fair, primarily for competitive exhibits in stead of for marketing, was held by the Columbian Agricultural society, which was organized in 1909 by a num- Der of gentlemen interested in agri- culture residing in Maryland, Virginia

We have many consuls in foreign countries, but their duties relate to business and conner cial affairs.
 What is the difference between business that is incorporated and one that is. not?
 An incorporated business is one that is owned by a corporation. as distin- guished from one owned by an individ- uaI or a partnership of individuals Tn an incorporated business liability for debts extends only to the property owned by the corporation, whereas an individual doing business in his own name is responsible to the full amount of his possessions.

Summer On The Border.


Most Northners have a preeonceived
idea that the South has an intolerable
climate daring the warm months. In
many places near the Mexican line the
average temperature for July is only
two or three degrees higher than in
Northern cities that have visitors by
the thousands. The thermometer
mounts higher at some of the Eastern
summer resorts than it does in the
South at corresponding times and FIRE
quently is accompanied by oppressive
humidity which the border land lacks
except at the Gulf. All along the coast
Of Texas from Houston and GALVESTON
west and south to the Mexican border
one finds numerous pleasure resorts,
many Of which have summer colonies of
goodly proportions. Few San An
tonians realize that the annual
temperature of that beautiful city is
oaly 80 degrees. That of New York
for July is 10, while San Antonio for
the same month averages only 81.
