aud satisfactory relief. Rest should be
insisted upon," he says, and the patient
should so TO bed, darken the room, and all
the attendants and family should be as
quiet as possible. An emetic will some
times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be kept open with "Actoids"; a hot bath and
thorough rub b-down with a coarse towel
often give grateful relief. Two anti-kamnia
tablets when the first signs appear, will
usually prevent the attack. During an at

These Jobs Are Healthy.

Breweries and tanneries and print
ing-ink factories confer an exemption
from tuberculosis, and employees in
turpentine factories never have rheu-
matism. Copper mining excludes the
possibility of typhoid among the work
ers. Shepherds enjoy remarkable
health. Men and women working in
lavender, whether gathering or distill-
ing it, are said never to suffer from
neuralgia or nervous headache.
Lavender, moreover, is as good as Il
sea voyage for giving tone to the sys-
TEN. Persons suffering from nervous
breakdown frequently give their serv-
Ices gratis to lavender planters in or
der that they may build up their vital
lty. Salt miners can wear summer
clothes in blizzard weather without
lear of catching cold, for colds are

Gardner Outlines Plans.

Gardner Outlines Plans.
In a recent interview Gov.-Elect f.
d. Gardner discussed six big prob.
lens to which he will give his imme-
date attention upon assuming office.
They are:
First, the rehabilitation of the finan-
cial system of the state, to provide
adequate revenue for all the states
activities.
Second, to build a system of good
roads which will embrace a perma-
nent highway from st. Louis to Kan
sas City. from Kansas City to Spring
field, from Springfield to St. Louis,
nibal to st. Joseph and from st. Jo-
seph to Kansas City; also a road from
st. Louis to Charlottesville. This
he proposes to do by increasing the
automobile license tax to the basis Of
other states, so that It will produce
a revenue of 100000 per year and
by the submission to the people as
early as possible a $15,OOO,O0O bond
issue for good roads.
Third, to work out a solution Of the
penitentiary problem, with the idea
Of abolishing permanently the con-
tract labor system and at the same
time to furnish employment to the
convicts. This to be done by a study
Of the best methods and practices of
other states or by plans worked out
by nonpartisan commission which
he will appoint Immediately upon
taking office.
Fourth, to revise and simplify the
legal practices of the state in order
to minimize delays in the trial of lit.
igation.
Fifth, to have enacted a fair and
just worbmen's compensation act
Sixth, to have submitted to the
people at the next election the ques-
ton: Shall constitutional conven.
ton be called to write a new constitu-
tiCn for Missouri"

NOT MUCH OF A SCANDAL

G0SSIPlNG OVER THE PHONE
Many Women, in Their Enjoyment Of
Friendly Chat, Forget the
Rights OF Others.

Women do not meet and mingle to
the extent that men do. At work or
at home, they do not have the oppor-
tunities for visiting. Housewives, es-
pecially, suffer from bottled-up social
instincts. The most affable husband
cannot be engaged in serious CONVERSE
ton on many topics which are Of az
much interest TO Il wife as a bowling
score, the home teams pitching pros
poets or behavior of the real estate
market, are to a man and his cronieA.

over the telephone brings about Q
serious problem in service. The tele-
phone company has arranged cali
culating supervision of telephone con-
versations, instructing operators to
break in on those that monopoliZa
party-line systems which other sub

conversation between pair of esttm-
able maidens or matrons and becomes.

The telephone company, seeking to
justify its demand for heavier tolls
and to answer bitter criticism of its
service, decides TO strike at the heart-
to-heart communications which vibrate

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-
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 infiamma-
ton rubside. If you are sufferer from
rheuR Itism, 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 DIR. Pierce 10c for trial

times move potent than llthia and
