Oscar Roston, barber, carries

lock of the hair of James Hill,
deceased railroad magnate aud

hard luck for the first few years
after he reached this country
Hill had been lucky and amass-

A Great Discovery

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due
to a dropsical condition. often caused
by disordered kidneys. Naturally
when the kidneys are deranged the
blood is filled with poisonous waste
matter, which settles in the feet,
ankles and wrists; or under the eyes
in bag-like formations.
AS a remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms of Inflammation
caused by uric acid-as scalding
urine. backache and frequent urina-
ton, as well as sediment in the urine.
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, lumbago. sciatica, gout,
it is simply wonderful how quickly
"Anuric" acts; the pains and stiff
ness rapidly disappear

LONDON, June 19.-(By MaiD -
Babies refuse to come into a world
full of automobiles. for the simple
reason that new automobiles usually
are more welcome than new babies
Babies and autos don't go together.
Muriel Viscountess Helmsley gives
this explanation for the falling birth
rate in England.
Autos. according to the viscountess.
create an appetite for amusement.
and as babies furnish little amuse-
ment. in the twentieth century way
of thinking, they are considered an
interference with the pleasures that
the automobile affords.
Viscountess Helmsley says further:
"The lamentable decline in the
birth rate is due to the selfishness of
women They feel that with increas-
ing family ties they may be unable to
maintain their social status, while at
the same time they might find their
outdoor activities crippled.
"The craze for amusement has been
a growing deterrent to family life, but
