To Liue Long!

A recipe given by a famous ply
sician for long life was: keep the
kidneys in good orderl Try to elimi-
nate through the skin and intestines
the poisons that otherwise clog the kid
neys. Avoid eating meat as much as
possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol,
tea. Drink plenty Of water"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of 1nflam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is
a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce Of In
vnlids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your
druggist does not keep 1t send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial packs &c and you
will know that 1t is many times
more potent than Nthia and that 1t dis
solves uric acid as but water does
sugar.

Herrck himself who first sought the
Anti-Saloon League men through his
son. The Prohibition generals were
told, it is said that it was through them
that Herrick was Inundated when he
was defeated, and that there was no
reason why such an affair should take
place again. Finally Herric< had din
ner with White, and it was arranged
that both sides should bring witnesses.
so the story runs. White brought Rev.
John Rutledge, of Cleveland, but the
account is silent as to the personnel of
the Herrick witnesses to Colonel Her.
TICK supposed vow to aid in the ex-
termination of the traffic.
Whether he was compelled to put the
supposed oath in writing or whether the
oral promise was considered to be suf-
ilcient is not known. There was varying
accounts of it. 1t seems, however. that
the liberals soon were advised of the af-
talr. AS the Ohio law does not require
candidates to tell what pledges they made
only Federal action can bring the true
facts to light unless it is given voluntar-
lily.
Colonel Herrick's friends in Column
Dus beileve the situation is to be hand
led delicately, for they say it would be a
shame If he were beaten twice on ac-
count of the liquor issue, once as a SUD-
posed liberal and the second time as a
dry man. There is not another cloud in
the Herrick political sky, they say.

CREDITS BOARD NOMINATED

Washington. - President Wilson has
nominated Charles F. Lobdell, Great
Bend, Kan. George w. Morris, Phia-
delphia; w. S. A. Smith, Sioux City,
Iowa, and Herbert Quick, Berkeley
Springs w. Va, as members of the
Farm Loan Board, created under the
Rural Credits bill, recently passed by
Congress.
The following are features of the law:
Creates twelve Federal land banks and
permits any number of joint stock land
banks to make loans at reasonable in
terest, for long periods on farm lands
Provides a Federal Loan Board of
five members to control these banks
Banks are empowered to lend on first
mortgages on farm lands in amounts of
500 to $4,000 for approved purposes.
NO loan may be made for more than so
per cent of the value of the land and
20 per cent of the value of the perma-
nent insured improvements.
National farm loan associations, local
organizations, composed exclusively of
borrowers, are authorized.
The act prohibits the Federal land
banks from charging more than 6 per
cent on any mortgage.
Borrowers will share in the net profits
of the bank, because they are stockhold-
ers. 1t is contemplated that ultimately
the borrowers will be the only stock
holders.
Long-term loans are provided by au-
thorzing mortgages for periods of from
five up to forty years.
Small annual or semi annual payments
on the principal are made required
feature of all mortgages.
Joint-Stocl land banks are authorized
They are corporations for carrying on
the business of lending on farm mort
gage security and issuing farm loan
bonds.

Columbus, Ohio.-While only COM
plete statement from Colonel Myron r.
Herrick will put an end to the mystery
as to his purported pledge binding him
self to vote for the constitutional amend
ment for national prohibition of the
liquor traffic, additional confrmatory de-
tails are coming in bit by bit. Surprised
that Herrick should have experienced so
great a change from his course years
ago, and still more surprised that James
A. White, the Anti-Saoon League Sup
erintendent, made it public, Republicans
will await the word from Herrick before
attempting to outline any course of ac-
ton.
1t is probable that this may be delayed
In this connection an interesting incident
of Buckeye politics is recalled. When
in 1905 the Secretary of War, William
II. Taft, charged in a speech at Akron
the Republican organization in Cincin-
natl with being bossed and with indulg
ing in questionable practices, Colonel
Hcrrick was candidate for Governor.
1t has been related that he proposed an
emphatic statement, but devided counsel
of his friends and associates caused him
TO keep silent until it was too late. This
incident seems to be one cause for some
of his friends wishing Colonel Herrick to
say promptly whether the Columbus and
Washington anti-iberal chiefs have
quoted him correctly.

wo years ago, when this work passed

an order putting into effect the charging

this order postponed until June 30, 1916

The Attorney General ruled that an ex-
ecutive order was within the law. and
President Wilson accepted the recon-
mendation of his Cabinet officials, who
agreed with the trade unioniStS
The workers on the canal zone can

months of 1916 almost as many fatal
accidents occurred in Pennsylvania in
dustries as were reported during the en-
tire twelve months of the previous year.

COMPENSATION LAW EFFECTIVE

Louisville, Ky. - After running the
gauntlet of State Legislatures and vari-
Gus Kentucky courts the State Work
mems Compensation Act became effcc-
tive.
The law provides for compensation
equal to 65 per cent of the average
weekly earnings, but not less than So

nary medical fee not to exceed $l0O An
additional fee of 500 is provided in

ton of $4,000 in case of DEATH and $4,000

CAN'T LIVE ON $40 A YEAR.

New York-Employes of the Munich
pal Street Cleaning Department have
protested against the finding of George
l.. Tirrell of the Bureau of Standards,
that laborer can support family of
five on $40 year. These employees
say
For instance Mr.. Tirrell claims that
husbands food per day should not ex-
ceed % cents; wife's food 81 cents :;
a boy of thirteen years, 21 cents; a girl
OF ten years, rs cents; child of six, -
cents.
1--WE can not see how, under the pres
ent high cost of living family of five
can exist. not live, on such an itemized
scale. He also states that DIR. Robert
Colt Chapins' book on Standard of Liv-
ing says that one overcoat for S5 should
last three years, that suit for Ss should
last three years. Theoretically, it sounds
very good, but we would ask Dr. Chapins
and Mr.. Tirrell to be so kind and prac-
tice this scale of wages for three years,
and then give their earnest statement
whether it is possible to exist on this
scale.

demand a living wage to support our
wives and children properly"
