The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

simply ask for a 50-cent package Of
-Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write DR. Pierce for a large
trial package 00c). IL you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him q
sample Of your water and describe
symptoms. DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DIR. Pierce will report
to you without fee. or charge.
NOTE. "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme

This is a recent discovery of Dr.
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y Experiments at Dr. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
infiammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS If BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
irritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally.
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches. rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots Of Jad Salts to folks who be-
heve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.-Adv.

LACK OF MONEY

that l had neuralgia Of the stomach
Then 1 went to a specialist who told

said he could cure me in four months,

ONLY POSSIBLE ON PAPER
Statistician's Assertion That Dollar
Bill Has Average Life of Three
Weeks is Challenged.

A statistician who hangs around the
national strong box figures out that
the average life of a dollar bill is
the secret of the prodigious prolonga-
ton of life.
The dollar bills with which most
of US are familiar expire in a few
minutes. or at best a few hours. Com
pared with the average dollar bill the
morning glory is marvel of lon
gevity. The tender infant-maybe
that's why it's called legal tender
hardly comes into your hands ere ii
becomes an adult, and almost be-
fore you know it the blasted and
withered veteran has passed to the
bourne of memory. We mourn many
a sweet william which. for it's ten
der, brief existence. might be said to
have persisted at birth. and many an
other whose untimely end in the morn
ing of life caused bitter grief
A statistician who could show US
how to keep a dollar bill alive three
weeks at a time like this. when the
mortality is so heavy. generally speak
ing, would earn the gratitude and adj
miration of the community. A stat
istician who could really keep dol
lar, dead or alive, for such a time
would tempt many of US to become
statisticians if possible. But the sad
truth is that a statistician does it
only on paper.-New York World.

M'LOUGHLN AND BUNDY
UPHELD AS AMATEURS

New York, Jan. 25.-Letters from offI-
cials of lawn tennis organizations in the
West and on the Pacific Coast which
have been received by an official OF the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
are construed here as indicating that the
Western men will secede from the ssso-
citation II 1t adopts a rule professional
izing all tennis players connected with
the sale Of sporting goods.
California is reported to be rebellious
against any movement rejecting upon
the amateur status OF Maurice z. Nc
Loughlin and Thomas c. Bundy as a re-
suit of their venture in a sporting goods
business
1t is assumed from the Western letters
that IL players connected with the sale of
sporting goods are declared ineligible as
amateurs, the Western players will call
meeting to organize new tennis as
sociation in that section. 1t is estimated
that the Western men are ready TO con-
tend that a player remains an amateur
unless he receives payment in money or
its equivalent for competing, competks
for cash prize or sells his prizes.
The question is likely to be brought up
for determination at the meeting of the

SHAFER CAN COMPETE
WITH AMATEUR GOLFERS

Los Angeles, Jan. 25.-Tilie Shafer.
considered the most temperamental ball
player in the country when he was
member of the Giants a few years back,
is showing great promise as an amateur
golfer. Tillie was a star when in the big
league. He was one of the cleverest
third basemen in fast company, was
crack 'nner, and his batting ability
was ia above the average. However,
he was born with a silver spoon In his
mouth, and mixing with the rough
ball players got on his nerves so that he
quit the Giants In 1913. Manager McGraw
frequently remarked that had not TillIe
been cursed with riches he would have
bIossomed into one of the real luminaries
of the game.
Tillie is now eligible to compete in all
the tournaments of the Southern Cali
fornia Golf Association. Last August he
applied for reinstatement in the anna
teur ranks, which was necessary because
of his experience in professional baseball
He stated that he would never play ball
again. After giving the matter long con-
sideration, President Tufts, of the local
organization, today announced that Shafer
was now eligible to compete as a simon
