WHAT Is URIC ACID?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE RHEUMATISM GRAVEL AND sU


Ever since the discovery Of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, in ITS,
and the bad effect it had upon the
body, scientists and physicians have
striven to rid the tissues and the blood
of this poison. Because of its over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. II was DR.. Pierce who lis
covered new agent, called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric scid from the sys-
TEN. "Anuric" is 81 times more po-
tent than lithia, and consequently you
need no longer fear muscular or
other diseases which are dependent on
an accumulation of uric acid within

Dear Sir:

pean states will he the outcome of
this last great war among them. A
certain section of these warning ma
tiOns, who trusted in the power OF
might to conquer and rule all the
world, as we'll as the remaining ones
who believed only less in the power
of arms and ornaments, will thus be
led to see that the Brotherhood of
man is the basic principle of all per-
manent peace. e .
Awful as the present experience of
Europe is, it has probably fastened
by hundreds of years the universal
acknowledgment and adoption of the
principle that right, not might, is the
best law for the welfare of nations.
Then why prolong two and one-third
years carnage has been decisive of

conflict, that can only result in the
exhaustion of these self-same Powers
and the century-long misery of the
great masses Of all these peoples
If new Hague conference we're to
sit continuously until the peoples of
these countries compelled their rulers
to submit their differences to it's de.

anyone would imagine. What greater
role could America have than to be
the first to take this decisive step,
and work for it necessarily until its
fulfillment came?

From out of convention of farm

OUR LITTLE GROUcHES.

We all love heroes. There is enough
of the poet and the actor in the av'
erage. man, there is enough magma.
ton, to enable him to put up fair
imitation of a hero whenever the op.
portunity offers.
We can all manage to meet failure,
grief and death with some show" of
bravery ..
But we are very often towards
when we face the petty irritations of
every day. And as these ills are OF
hourly occurrence we are much less
heroes in fact than we fancy our
selves. So it is good plan, once in
awhile, to make little record of our
ordinary grouches.
There's the getting-up crouch. It's
causes are many, the cure is the same
for all. It can be had before we
leave our rooms--just a little deep
breathing before the open window, OF
a cold plunge, will do the work.
There's the crouch because the
morning coffee is too weak or too
strong. Well, most of us drink too
much coffee, anyway.
There's the crouch over our clothes
which are never quite good enough
We can never cure this by buying
more. If a woman can afford chin
chilla coat at $4,50O she covets sable
cape at $4,000. But if we will put
our minds on the needs of the Red
Cross in Europe we very soon be-
come ashamed of our mad craze for
tinery
There's the Office grouch--which
consists in trying to go opposite to
the course OF business events. Just.
average human perversity kills har.
mOny and cooperation in many an
organization. There's always some,
one above us or next to us to be
jealous of. The cure for this is to
remember that "he who would com.
mand must first learn to obey" And
if this kind of philosophy does not
help, then the honest thing is to find
another job.
Every morning we seize afresh up.
on all of our little pet grouches as
they were novelties belonging to each
one exclusively, and not ancient in.
cumbrances which we should have dis.
carded yesteryear And perhaps we
cannot cure ourselves altogether OF
the habit of getting srouchy about
something. But can we not prove our.
selves extraordinary. almost heroic
ny getting rid of all these common
place grouches and inventing few
brand new ones?
