VIII Reopen Tin Mines.

Austria is to resume exploitation of
tin mines on her territory, working Of
which was discontinued before the war
owing to small profits. 1t is estimated
that the three principal mines in Bo-
hemia alone, if actively worked, can
furnish three-fourths of the country's
requirements. Little tin has been
mined in Austria heretofore, only
about one per cent of the country's
needs having been obtained from Aus
trian mines.

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys Is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per
son dies. and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease OF brain
or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents fer a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery OF DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.
