Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. NJ. PIERCE, NJ. d.

The subject OF drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means Of X-rays, the observations Of
scientists such rs Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during dl-
gestlon is necessary In good bodily
housekeeping.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain In the back or back Of the
neck, take little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty Of pure
water. And for long life. occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times day.
Anuric acts much more quickly
than llthla. You will find It dlssolves
uric acid as water does sugar.

Every Man a Soldier.

Every man is a soldier, for every
man carries a dagger and sometimes
a gun. and he will kill a man who
differs with him without SO much as
an argument, and added to this he
feels that everything belonging to the
man he has killed is now his prop
erty, and woe be to the man who re-
sists him in what he considers his
rightfui inheritance. There are no
"snipers'' In Albania, and when these
men kill invaders they do 1t in the
open. They also have a fierce sort of
chivalry-that is. they will not harm
a woman. They refuse to modest her
because they think she Is weak-con-
sequentiy. a woman can travel In the
most remote regions Of the country
without being harmed.
Albania is made up OF a part of
ancient Hlyria and all of ancient
Epirus. and comprises about eleven
thousand square miles. The plateau
Of JANA, which constituted the an
cient Hellopia. Is entirely surrounded
by mountains and has q large lake In
it's center-a weird looking body of
water of a dark emerald shade. Two
antiquated forts stand close by the
City of Jania---a town of some TWEEN
ty-five thousand people. 1t was there
that All Pasha was beseiged and later
assassinated. So-called roads radiate
from JANA in every direction fact
which makes the occupation of this
city indispensable to the nation that
would master ancient Albania.
The population. which consists OF
nearly one million souls. is made up of
a mixture of races--Italians. Greeks,
Slavs, Bulgars and a few descendants
of the real Albanians. They have
neither political. nor religious, nor So
cial cohesion. Their religion Is the
Greek Church, Mohammedanism and
Roman Catholic. The latter live In
one section of the country and are
practically independent as they pay
no tribute. nor do they allow an Otto

governs itself and the patriotism OF
the country exists for the tribes rather
than for the entire country. The Al

Unpleasant Customs.

without sanitation of the simplest
kind and most of the scavengtng OF
the streets is done by dogs. At FL
basan 1t Is performed by ducks which
wallow about in the dirty mud pud-
dies of the streets. Hotel comforts
such as clean bedding and clean water
are unknown. The country has no
manufactures except the silk weaving
industry at Elbasan. In the cities the
men SQUAT about the streets and talk
of the demons which inhabit the
mountains, for the Albanians are. per-
haps, the most ignorant and supersti-
tious set Of human beings in the
world. They are suspicious of for
eisners and have a firm conviction
that the nation who would be friendly
with them is after their land--the
poorest In Europe where agriculture
Ii concerned. Perhaps their greatest
field industry is the rearing Of silk
worms on mulberry trees for weaving
Of the silks at Eibasan. Very little OF
this silk finds its way to the markets
of the Continent as the trade with the
outer world is small and uncertain.
