NorE: This vAnuric" is adapted
especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-
gestion of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine and
urinary troubles. The physicians and
specialists at DR.. Pierce's great Institu-
ton, at Buffalo, n. Y, have thoroughly
tested this prescription and have been
with one accord successful in eradicat-
ing these troubles, and in most cases
absolutely curing the diseased kidneys.
Patients having once used cAnuricD u
at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, have re-
peatedly sent back for more. Such q
demand has been created that DR.. Pierce
has decided to put "Anuric" in the drug
stores of this country, in ready-to- use
form. If not obtainable send one dime
by mai to DR.. Pierce for trial package
or so cents for full treatment

LET TIERS TO THE EDITOR
Has Faith in the City Government.

Mir. Editor: I have no wish or inten- tiOn to enter into any lengthy news paper controversy regarding the traf- lie regulations now in force in this city. and my desire is the laws may be so enforced as to work no harm to any one. We have the ordinance, let's give it a, fair trial and if found too drastic it can be modified.
 The claim is made that autos are not allowed to stand in certain streets long enough so one can go into store and trade. Now look at this from another angle If an auto is allowed to stand for an indefinite time why not any other vehicle How would from one to an unlimited number of 'CharcOaI SChOOners,' heavy team wagons, or trucks, lined up along our busy streets2
 Even now expressnen are sent to side streets. If autos are given uulim- tied privileges why not others?
 Fair Play wishes to know whether we wish to be like NOluntOwn? l am at a loss to know what he means by that. Does he even know VOluntOWn, or why so named? If l am correctly informed it was because being granted to some early citizen who was a vol uuteer in Revolutionary times. Then the state had more land than money to repay for service rendered. The town was settled by some of the best people. such names as GIdlluD, CEan- dau Chapman, Gardner and Briggs are to be found there, with many others because there may be some undesirable ones living there, that is no reason why the name be made use of as a term of reprOach.
 I would ask Fair Play" whether Norwich has no undesirable ones, none to whom we can point except with pride? In former years had Occa- sion to travel in and through the town a good deaI and know whereof l speak The mother of one of Nor wichs best beloved mayors was from VoluntOwn.
 There is one other point in Fair Plays" article which is of far more serious import, the yelled threat that if the present administration enfOrces the traffic regulations when another election time comes around some of our officials will be left behind in the race.
 This is supposed to be a free coun- try and one has a right to vote for, or not to vote for, any one they please; but to try to browbeat or bulldoze is unamerican, and not to be tolerated.
 I challenge Fair Play to come out and disclose his full name.
 have confidence in the present city government will stand for the right without fear or favor. E

KEEPING Cool

Keeping cool is more a matter of diet than of dress, although lightness of dress contributes to personal com fort. If we take just as much fat Cheat units) in July as it requires to keep us warm in the zero weather of January soda water within and an electric fan without may temporarily check the heat but these will not al- lay it.
 People who do not feel as though they wanted anything to eat on warm days are wise to fast.
 The army ration is only 34 ounces a day and this is nearly three times the weight of the Edison ration for a IT, hour day; but the American with his abnormal appetite consumes above 40 ounces of food every day of his life, and usually dies before his time.
 The reason people feel as if they were burning up when they are sit ting still is because they are taking their $500 heat units a day regard less of their effect.
 Cut down the food and eat as little fat as possible, and you will find it is easier to keep cool and to keep calm.

 Mayor Brown and police commis- sioners, stick to your text, and if the automobile owners can't eat enough in 15 minutes let them leave their cars where they belong, and then they can eat all day if they want to.
 MT. Editor: Take it all in alI we poor pedestrians have been against it! If one of the abused knows what he wants and can't buy it in 15 minutes he ought to have 8 conservator.
 Mayor Brown: It was not the few one sided flair plays" who elected you, but the common people who Lin coin loved so well, and who want the privilege to use our streets without being killed, or crippled. You have started out to protect the underdOg! that Fair Play" as he calls himself, who boasts what he will do at the polls on election day, will not amount to as much as a sick cat.
 would advise One of the Abused, B and "Fair Play" to go to Providence, R. L, and try to hang up his autOmo- bile in WeybOssit, Westminster and other streets and see just how long it will be by the wa tch before they are moved. There is no doubt Norwich is supplied with a certain few who with the help of several civic hOdies, would keep Norwich just about where it always has been on questions of better conditions for the general public and up to date methods that do not directly benefit them personally.

WHAT TIE KAISER LIKES

The kaiser likes the German who can sing with good heart: "A German I was born and a German [ will die!'
 He has no use for citizens of dual titles, and he has just as poor an opin- ion of a German American as the most ultra American has,
 All nations have Tahatha cats. but the striped, strealzed, blotched, calico citizenship bears an imprint of hy- bridity repugnant to all nations.
 The Bulletin likes the kaiser's per pendicularity. He declared to Judge Eippert, of Cincinnati:
 There are Americans and Ger mans, but the two are separate and distinct. I wish every German to be heart and soul a German, just as you desire every American to be com pletely an American. There can be Americans who have syrnpathies with the Gemran cause, just as there are Americans who sympathize with the Allies, yet the latter are not termed Allied Americana
 We believe the title American is sufficient to express our character and nationality. No hyphenated coupling can add anything to it; and it is de- .

 selves out of the muddIe, and not cared how many British ships were
 sunk by German submarines, the peo- pie of England would today be in a state of starvation.
 When we interfered in the .U-boat war on British commerc with a threat of war, made under the man ner of concern for lives of Americans, was the interference made out of con cern for American lives? If so, why 1 then the total abandonment of Ameri- can citizens to the brutality of Mexi- can outlaws and murdererS2 The proof is, the present adTninis- tratlOn has no real concern for Amer ican lives when political gain, or par tlsan prejudice can be served, with @ l pretense of concern,
 Are we to be kicked around some more, and then some? Is the treat 1 ment of our ships, commerce. mails, our citizens, an act of gratitude for our very good services in queIling the submarine war on British commerce? Are we ruled from Downing street, or did the true American spirit die during the revolution?
 Are we in fear to offend the British | because of the Japanese peril? Is the BFitish-JaDanese alliance the club held over our head. The signs of the times show clouds dark and full of menace. with British contempt of all things American and the Japan ese preparing to strike for the su- premacy of the Pacific.

CARE OF THE HANDS.

Washing the hands in a bowl of warm milk every night is a good bleach for redness. Here is another good bleach: Lemon juice, one ounce; honey. one ounce; perfume, one ounce. This is the recipe of a famous beauty expert.
 If you wish to make your fingers longer and more tapering, soften them with warm water or olive oil and then massage them with a long slow stroke from the wrist to the ends of the fingers. Then take each finger sepa- rately' between the thumb and fore finger of the other hand. Pinch the finger tips gently at the sides, at the same time drawing the finger out from the hand.
 If your hands have a congested, swollen appearance, with distended veins it is sometimes a sign that you have some articles of clothing too tight for your own good-a sleeve, collar or belt, perhaps. If this is not the case, the trouble is that the blood rushes to your hands too much. Form the habit of holding the hands up as much as possible Instead of down at the sides. This will relieve the blood vessels of their extra burden.

10 MAKE A BIG FIGHT.

President Wilson recognizes the inn portance of putting up a stiff fight to hold Maine in the democratic column and several of his cabinet members have been toIled off for campaign work there just as if Maine was not a forlorn hope so far as the democ- racy is concerned.
 It is patent that the democrats car ried Maine four years ago because the republican party was split in twain. The combined vote of the republicans and progressives is assurance enough that the first gun in the fall campaign will be for the republicans.
 The democratic hope is to hold the progressives; but they have returned to the republican fold, and the Port land Express says the republican sen timent is strong in Maine and the question who is to win the state" is fairly answered already.
 The democratic political dribble that the republicans and Hughes are pro- German and desire to defeat Wilson because he kept the country from war with Germany is not likely to make a deep impression upon the voters of the Pine Tree state"

IN PURSUIT OF VILLA.

Gen. Villa appears to have more lives than cat. He seems to be flee ing ou Cutches or on horseback for The mountains to escape from Car rauza's forces.
 He with his men escaped the 10000 troopers who tardilv pursued him over the Mexican border for 200 miles.
 Since Villa raided Columbus. New Mexico, he has been four times report ed as dead
 The American troopers mortalIy wounded him and he was buried in a lonely grave.
 He was assassinated by one of his own men and his gavre was identified by a Carranzist who was looking for reward.
 He was killed at ranch house while putting to death loyal Mexican citizens
 He was shot in an affray and his body was burned.
 He has since offered to join Car ranza to punish the United States.
 He has had a conflict with the gov eFnment troops and worsted them.
 Gen. Villa is very popular in north eru Mexico and never seems to lack supporters.
 The prospects of his being captured are far from assuring. He knows his way in the mountains as the Modocs knew the larva beds, and his capture isn't even probable

A MILLION MINUTES OF WAR.

au English editor on the 26th of June last called attention to the fact that the European war had been car ried on a million minutes, at 10.4O a. m. of that day, which constitute 22 months and 26 days.
 From the minute viewpoint the war my be graspcd in it's cost and inten- sitv us in no other way.
 In this million minutes it is esti- mated 1000 GOO men have been killed or wounded. or five men a minute for tho entire time.
 There had been spent for the de- uenGeuts consequent upon the war $50.Nuo 900. or $50 9 minute in charity beoaTae of the war up to that date.
 The war is estimated to be costing all parties concerned $5O,C0O,OOO a day, approaching S=5 GOO g minute
 On one occasion it was estimated that a million shells were fired in 72 hours in front or Fcrdun, or a rate of "4' shells a minute
 The wireless telegraph in the first -5 months If the war transmitted 2J.- oJ0009 words or a little in excess of three words a minute for the entire time.
 If the prisoners held reach four mil lion. and this is far below the number claimed. they averaged four a minute from the beginning of the war.

The Issue Wi4h Enqland.

MT. Editor: For over a year the United States has been content to let the issue with England drift with 9 mere exchange of lOng-winded, though profound notes on academic theories of law and justice, which have en- vOked in reply a similar mass of words and inactiOn. But what touches to the quick is the fact, while Eng land has rcaped the benefits of our neutrality, there has been scant ap- preCiation of 1t abroad. Had we chosen to be painstakiDgIy neutral we might have kept within the sacred province of neutral rights and duties, and imposed the following restric- tions:
 4 censorship on all telegraphic and cable communications of the allies.
 An embargo on the export of muni- tions of war at the outbreak of the war. as did Holland, Norway and
 Legislation forbidding the Notation of war loans
 Strict measures to prevent individ- ual reserVists from leaving the United States.
 Convocation of a conference of neu- traIs, which, as our own officials pri- vately admit. would resolve itself into an anti-British convqation, demandin9 retaliatOry measuresGagainst British violations of maritime law.
 Many things embarrassing to Eng
 
 by the United States, but instead, it has chosen to be passively neutral.
 How has all this been answered or appreciated?
 After numerous transgressions, the British government now takes occa- sion to again emphasize it's utter con- tempt of American rights, and they appear confident that this government will do nothing to defend American rights against aggression.
 A specific order forbidding the American Red Cross to send hospital supplies to Germany or Austria, for the use of the sick and wounded, was issued some time ago.
 They now issue an order blacklist ing specified American firms.
 These two orders are in conflict with the recognized law of nations

When l washed my fine white sweater it shrank so that was scarce ly able to get it on," said a young housewife the other day, the bottom dried in nipples and the pockets stretched to twice their size. Next time I stitched the pockets in place before wetting. I prepared a luke warm studs of white soap and care fully washed the sweater in this, after ward rinsing it several times. Then I squeezed it dry. Over my dress makers form I pinned a sheet and put the sweater on the form, batting into shape and stuffing each arm with e. rolled bath towel. When dry it was as large as when new and fitted me even better"
