Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause cf 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 infamma-
ton subslde. If you are a sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from tie
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid: or send DR.. 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 win convince yOsS.

at all seasons of the year and keep
them in constant repair. There is no
road material but what becomes worn
in spots in time and if these spots
were kept mended constantly the cost
of the upkeep would not be nearly so
great. After the spring grading and
shaping up the roads are allowed to
run as best they can till fall. "a

plication than on our county roads

MEASUREMENT OF ROAD WEAR
Ingenious Machine Perfected to Show
Effects of Different Loads at
Various Speeds.

A complex and highly ingenious ma
chine has been perfected which runs
over a sample of road surface at the
National Physical laboratory, shows
the wear caused by different
loads at different speeds and in vari-
Gus climatic conditions. In other
words, given specimen of a new
surface, the machine will tell pretty
accurately what. say the Manchester
to-Wilmslow road, would be like in
a year if that surface were laid on 1t.
1t seems a pity that SO valuable a
wear-and-tear recording device can
not be applied to more than roads,

FILTHY HABIT OF MIXERS
Practice of Wetting Hands With Milk
Is Liable to Cause Cows Teats
to Chap in Winter.

Mixers should be allowed to milk
only with dry hands. The practice of
wetting the hands with milk is a filthy
habit and is liable to cause the cows
teats to chap in the winter time.
Milking should be done quickly and
thoroughly, with no violent jerking of
the teats. After each COW is MIXED
the milk should be removed immediate
Iy to the milkhouse.

Other Advantages.

Concrete roads are country boule-

making travel quick, safe, easy, clean

borhood limits, bring more people
into personal touch with each other,
increase social opportunities and
thereby remove the Eonotony of iso-

SEED CORN EARS oF HIGH MELDINe vARlETY.

and was not injured at the tip when
removed from the ear. If 36 per cent
or more kernels from any ear fail to
grow or make a weak growth, it will
be advisable to test every ear in the
entire supply Of seed corn. II the
100 ears tested contain no poor ones,
further testing of the supply is un-
necessary.
Shelled corn is difficult to grade sat
isfactorily. The grading can be done
better before the ears are shelled. If
the seed ears vary greatly as to size
Of kernel they should be separated
into two or three grades according to
size Of kernel. These grades should be
shelled separately, tested In the corn
planter, and numbered to correspond
with the number on the planter plates
that are found to drop them most uni
forInly. These arrangements can
be completed before the rush Of spring
work begins.
The first operation in properly she'll
ing seed corn is the removal Of the
small kernels from the ups OF the
ears and the round thick kernels from
the butts. The former are less produc-
tive than the other kernels of the ear.
The round butt kernels are as produc-
tive as the other kernels Of the ear,
but do not plant uniformly in a
planter.
Smelling seed corn carefully by hand
is profitable. The greater the acre
age the greater the profit. Each ear
should be shelled separately into a
sieve, rejecting any worm-eaten or
blemished kernels. If the grain from
one ear appears good and contains no
poor kernels, it is poured into the gen
eral supply and another ear shelled in
the same way.

USING UP VITALITY

The struggle for success uses up
vitality In America at greater rate
than any other thing. Fighting to keep
away from the poor-house we shorten
the distance to the grave.
Especially in middle age, at forty or
thereabouts, do we become impressed
with the necessity OF laying up COM
petence and with that feeling in time
comes worry, nervous breakdown, neu-
rasthenia. The entire system feels the
result OF the nervous strain. The diges-
ton resents things that it accepted be-
fore, the heart palpitates on slight ex-
ertion, the muscles of the back ache
after a days work. Your blood is
thinner and not SO bright red.

YOU are fourteen or forty, you need q
tonic. DR.. Williams Pink Pills suit

non-alcoholic and they really build up
the blood and strengthen the nerves.

just as coal, when it burns, leaves be-

This will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone an enthusiast on the

Remember, inside bathing is more i'm
portant than outside bathing, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities into
