NOTE: This cAnuric" 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 "Anuric !"
at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, have re-
peatedly sent bac!, for more. Such a
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 obtanable send ope dime
by mail to DR.. Pierce for trial package
or so cents for full treatment.

SEEKS LAW AGAINST AUTO GLARE

Legislature Will be Asked to Regulate
Operation of Glare Headlights on Road
1t is likely that an effort will be
n ade to have the General Assembly
pass law to regulate the use of glar-
ing headlights on automobile, but re-
quiring autoist to dim their lights
while passing through towns and when
approaching each other on public high
ways. The recent accident on the
state road below Smyrna to Post
master Robinson. of Milford, has en-
phasized the necessity of such legisla-
tion. 1t is also probable that bill
will be offered to have colOred camp
meetings properly policed. Numerous
shooting affairs and murders have oc-
cured in Kent County around Smyrna,
in recent years as a result of camp
meetings, and the Grand Jury at its
last session, recommended that legis-
lation to regulate the camp meetings
be enacted.

MAKES PETS OF LITTER OF RATS
{. Harry Butler, Telegraph Operator
in Tower Near Middletown Has Pets

{. Harry Butler, Telegraph Operator
in Tower Near Middletown Has Pets
F. Harry Butler. a telegraph opera
tor in a tower south of Middletown on
the Delaware Railroad, has a strange
bunch of pets in a litter of rats who
keep him company during the long and
lonesome hours when business is dull
in the little tower. When first as
signed to the post about three years
ago. Butler noticed two young rats
come out from a hedge back of the
tower. Every meal time Butler would
throw whatever was left from bucket
out of the window, and soon the rats
would appear and eat. This was kept
up until Butler could go down where
they were eating without soaring
them away. On one occasion, more
than two years ago, he caught the
largest of the rats and cut a nick off
its tail to identify it, but the rat did
not seem to mind, and still continued
to come to be fed. In the summer
months the rats disappear. but at the
first sign of cold weather back they
come. The old rat can always be
told by its abbreviated tail. for now
there are several others who accom-
pany him. Butler can descend from
his office and pick them up at any
time, and they with play around him
with impunity, altho the presence of
strangers at once causes them to
leave.

SMYRNA DEMOCRATS PARADE
Town Crowded Wednesday Evening as
Parade With Plenty of Red Light
Marches Thru Principal Streets

Parade with Plenty OF Red Light
Marches Thru Principal Streets
Smyrna was crowded Wednesday
night and the streets lined with teams
and automobiles to participate in the
great demonstration over the re-elec,
tion of President Woodrow Wilson and
the Democratic victory in Kent county
and State of Delaware, held under the
auspices of the Wilson and Marshall
Club of Duck Creek Hundred. The
First Infantry Band of Wilmington,
came down for the occasion and
marched at the head of a street parade
which formed at the standpipe and
traversed the principal streets of
town. Messrs. Mark McMsnus and
John E. Wilson were marshals of the
parade. Illuminated with plenty of
red fire, they passed through town.
Mummers, transparencies and floats
featured the procession. Some of the
provoked much laughter. All along
the line of march bright and catchy
music was played. Many homes were
Illuminated, some lighted with candles
like the illumination of years ago
when Delaware was almost continually
democratic. Some homes displayed
lanterns snd flags and bunting. Quite
few Republicans illuminated their
homes, showing good patriotic spirit.
The -Four Corners" was circIed
with a variagated array Of Chinese
and Japsnies lanterns. There were
quite a number who rode horses in
line who wore regalias of red, white
and blue. One atleast wore a string
of red, white and blue electric lights
J which were turned off and on inter-
mitently. A long string of automo-
biles followed the horses Some os
these were very effectively decorated.
1t was planned to have many march
afnOt in the parade but the night was
cold and interfered with the turnout
which was expected. For the same rea-
son neither was there any open air
speaking at -Four Corners" follow
ing the parade. Smyrna democrats
were content with the parade and
while the turnout might have been
much larger, it was creditable never
theless.

Teachers of New Castle County in Ses-
sion Move for State Spelling Bee
The Schools of New Castle County
are closed for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week and rural
teachers from the lower end of the
county joined the hosts at the Hotel
dupont where the annual session is
being held. Vieing in interest with
the institute will be the spelling con-
test to be held in connection with it
"a contest which will lead up to the
spelling contest TO be held for all
sc1ool pnpils in delaware late next
February or early in March. In this
spelling contest, besides the 10 high
school contestants, will be about so
contestants from grammar schools.
Prizes will be awarded to the success
full contestants. Infinite improve
ment is shown in the average spelling
of county school pupils as result of
the special emphasis which is being
laid on this work. An indication of
this is that there have been so m any
ties for first and second place in the
papers submitted by the pupils desir-
ing to enter that a great many more
have been admitted as contestants
than was at first expected. An in
stance of it may be seen in the case
of the Middletown pupils. Last year
the pupils in the Middletown school
were found to be so poor IN theil
spelling that none of them cared tc
submit papers. This year, from
among their number, there were three
who tied and this was the only school
from which a 100 per cent. paper wa:
submitted. This is equally applicable
to many other schools. Great pubic
interest has been shown in this worn
and due to this, the pupils.
