Il nANURICl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery OF Doctor
Pierce, who is head OF the Inyalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. Experiments at Doctor PIERCE
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eiirniDator OF uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms OF iniiam-
nation as baclIache, scaldlng urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, OF II uric acid IN the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric"
acts. The best OF results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the Joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pnins and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package OF
vAnuric,p manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him a sample OF your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report TO you, without
fee or charge.
NoTE - French scientists affirm that
UAnuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conacientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases = as "Anuric"
(thanks TO Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder CorrectOr obtainable.
DIR. Pierce's Pellets are the original
little Liver Pills. One little Pellet for
a laxative-three for cathartic.

CHICAGO, June 26.-In his letter
of the Progressive National commit

earnestly bespeak the Progressives
ungrudgingly support Hughes for the
sake Of the country's welfare. Under
existing circumstances the people are
not prepared to accept u new party.
The third ticket will merely help elect
Wilson. Hughes is beyond all com

not believe there should be a third

Vice Presidential candidate John
Parker and six national committee
men bolted the meeting after being
defeated in their attempt to make
the session public. Secercy was i'm
posed when Chairman Perkins init
mated he had a confidential message
to the Progressives from Hughes.
The bolters are willing to return when
the meeting is made public.
After reading and considering
Roosevelt's declination, the committee
accepted it.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Henry
ID. Flood, representative from Virgin
ia, says war is almost certainty.
Congressional leaders are preparing
to receive President Wilson's message
within few days.
Yesterday the President delivered
an ultimatum TO Carranza, demand
ing the release of the Americans cap
tured at Carrizal and held prisoners
at Chihuahua.
The President intimitated he might
want to address congress after Car
rama makes his reply to the ultimat-
um and states his attitude towari
the expedition.
Party leaders have indicated their
Willingness to follow the president.
Secretary Of State Lansing told the
Latin American diplomats, who sug-
gested mediation, that everything de
pends upon Carranza's reply.
Discuss Mediation
Don Ignaclo Caldreon, the Bolivian
minister, who acted as spokesman for
the Latin-American diplomats, sug-
gesting mediation, also asked Mex
ico's ador-designate, Arredon-
do if Carranza would accept nAt,a-
ton. Arredondo replied that he hour
'y expected instructions from Carrar-
70 upon this question. The media
ton offer of the tin-Americans has
been forwarded to Mexico City.
Lansing gave Calderon to under
stand that mediation is not accept
able at the present.
Boyd Possibly Provoked Carrizal
Attack
Captain Morey's report shows that
Captain Boyd possibly provoked the
Carrizal attack. However Carranza' S
prohibitive movement eastward pos
sibly necessitated Captain Boyd's of
fensivep' formation. The Mexicans
fired first
If Carranza does not free the Amer
lean prisoners, disavow the Carrizal
affair, and promise future saftey for
the American expedition, war is be-
lieved to be the only answer.
Cali For Volunteers Expected
A majority of the hundred thousand
militiamen ordered ont, will probably
be on the border or en- route before
Saturday. A call for volunteers is
expected.
Seventeen thousand New York and
New England volunteers are leaving
to-day,
The campaign contemplates, after
thorough preparations, sweeping into
Mexico from strategic points, sur
rounding the northern Carranzistas,
seizing Torreon and Saltillo, controll-
ing the railroads and pushing through
to Mexico City.
The spectacular battles will prob
ably occur early, but subduing tho
guerillas will require long time.
Arranging Transportation for Troops
Troop trains and ammunition will
be given clear tracks. The Ameri-
can railway association sent special
lists to aid the war department. The
chiefs worked all night arranging
transportation.
Eight hundred coast artillerymen,
guarding the Golden Gate, have been
sent to the border.
