bDensburg to Harrisburg, is through
Hollidaysburg and thence to Water
street which is almost all permanent
macadam.
In some of the towns and cities
along the route west of this city the
plan of the boards of trade at TYRONE
ana Bellwood to have the highway di-
vert at Water Stre7sc through these
two places to Altoona is decried on
the claim that the road is a poor
one.
Editorially the Cambria Freeman.
of Ebensburg, says:
NO matter what chambers of COM
merce may say, the man who is going
some place viii not make a long de-
tour over bad roads when the direct
way is permanently improved.
And greater joke is in including
Indiana in this route. Indiana is off
the route, and its position will keen
1t off. The direct William Penn road
from Johnstown and from Mundays
is through Blairsville to New Alex
andria; and all the palavering OF
eastern road constructionists can't
change the fact.
TT is mighty good thing that
Governor Brumbaugh is interested in
this route and will see to it that the
direct roads are used. The Governor
may be expected to use his influence
so that every two-by-four town in
Central Pennsylvania is not included
in the route.
when the eastern road specialists
learn that a short road is the straight
est distance between two points
when they learn that small towns and
small cities can reach this short road
through the construction of laterals.
then this road proposition will begin
to take form"

WHAT IS URIC ACID?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACFIE, RHEUMATISM LUMBAGO,
GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH

Ever since the discovery of uric
acid in the blood by Scheele, in 1875,
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, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DIR. Pierce who dis
covered a new agent called "Anuric,"
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. "Anuric" Is 81 times more
potent than lithia, and consequently
you need no longer fear muscular or
articular rheumatism or gout, or
many other diseases which are de-
pendent on an accumulation of uric
