BUSINESS PLACES
CLOSE SUNDAY
HE HEEBE &EUkHEEHh

On Sunday business places that
had never closed on Sunday put down
the lid. This was in harmony with a
tendency toward Sunday closing. Drug
stores were open, also news stands,
garages, restaurants and hotels. In
some cities drug stores take turns in
opening on Sundays, but this is diff
cult to do on account of filling pre-
scriptions, each store having its own.

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. NJ. PIERCE. W. D.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for a
hundred years.
In recent years investigation by means
of X-rayS, the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow:-
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is necesA
sary in good bodily housekeeping, Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago Or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back. of
the neck, take a little Anuric before
meals. This can be found at any good
drug store. Therefore my advice to
young OF old is, always drink plenty OF
pure water. And for long life occa-
sionally take tablets Of Anuric three or
four times a Law.

Germans Are Not
Pleased With U-Boat
War Against Britain

London, July 20.-The naval cor
respondent of the Times comment
ing upon the submarine returns
writes:
"It is perhaps not to be wondered
at that there should be growing, dis
satisfaction in Germany at the re-
suit of the submarine campaign.
The hopes awakened by the high re-
suits of April have not been fulfilled.
1t is due no doubt to this state of
things and with the purpose of en-
couraging the German public that
the press is publishing heartening
opinions from the nations leaders.
Whether any real satisfaction
can be felt FROM the cryptic utter
ance of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz,
The U-boat is extremely effective,
but needs time or the still more
mysterious saying of Won Hinden-
burg, The U-boat is performing its
Office must be doubtful. The sol
dier himself seems to have no great
faith in the naval weapon, while the
originator of the submarine war has
to ask more time, and yet he must
know that time works on our side.
Commerce has been we'll main
tanned. There has been no material
falling off in the use of our ports by
the ships of the allied and neutral
nations. The traffic returns of the
Allies do not indicate that the sub
marine is having the success expect
ed by Germany. The number OF
ships of all nationalities arriving al
French ports has increased from an
average of S42 in March to LOLA In
June, and the latest return for July
shows a still further advance"

Far East Mirage Shows
Beautiful City Where
No City Ever Stood

Washington, July 2O.-A mirage rage,
was witnessed at Dairczi, formerly
+he Russian dream city" OF Laihy
on the Liatung peninsula. The vision
anpeared upon the site of the bay
and was discovered by the pursucr
Of the Shanghai liner Sakakt Maru
while coming into port.
Looking northward he saw vast
structures upon the side of the bay
whore NJ knew no such buildings
existed. A crowd assembled and the
vision was promptly declared to be
q n1irage-one of the most remark
able ever seen in the East East. III
originally appeared to be three
buildings six stories high.
These disappeared and then a
whole city rose out of the waters Of
the bay-a great city with a tall
church tower in the middle ground.
The tiles upon the church roof were
plainly discernible. At the right of
the picture a stone wall of a large
roofess structure, blackened by a
destructive fire, were visible. No such
aerial images have been seen before
at Dairen, and superstitious citizens
are yariously commenting thereon.

IMPROVE HOMES

The demand for greater ecC .omical
living in tie present crisis of our coun-
try makes it obligatory that every
housewife and true helpmate should
be prepared to do her part in eliminat-
ing every unnecessary expense, wheth-
er in the matter of wearing apparel,
the management of the home or in the
hitchen.
The greatest results are obtained by
those who are prepared-those who
know how tc practice economy in a
scientific wa! by doing their own sew,
in4 and plain dressmaktng and mil
inery. BY kuewing how to make their
own wearing apparel and hats they
eliminate the great expense of hiring a
dressmaker or having q milliner do the
work for ttiI1 1t is knowing how to do
thing cor3S:rly and scientifically that
produces the erc1test possible and last

farreaching subjects of economy is not
