ACID POISONINC!

The most eminent physicians recognize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of gout and rheumatism, that this uric acid poison is present in the joints, muscles, or nerves. By experi- menting and analysis at the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. r., Dr. Pierce discovered a combina- tion Of native remedies that he called An-u-ric, which drives out the uric acid from the system, and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are sufferer from rheumatism. backache, pains here or there, you can ob- tain Anuric, double strength, at any drug store for 60 cents, and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid; or send Dr. Pierce 10e for trial pkg. Anu ric which you will find many times more potent than lithia and eliminates uric acid almost as hot water melts sugar A short trial will convince you. Send a sample of your water to Dr. Pierce and it will be tested free of charge.

RUSSIA MUST WORK

WASHINGTON CONFIRMS NEWS THAT RADICALS SEIZE MoS-
 COW-GAiN MORE OF ARMY.
SUPPLIES MAY BE STOPPED
State Department Will Make No Move Until Definite News Is Secured Radicals Form Cabinet With
 Lenine as Premier.

shington.-Russia' de facto gov ernment set up by the Maximalists was the biggest question mark in the Russian crisis. Kerensky's star was in the descendency, even Russian em- bassy officials admitted, while declar- ing they would never accept the Max imalists authority.
 Russia will now be allowed to work out it's own destiny by the United States and the allies. None will rec ognize any new democratic govern ment there until the atmosphere clears. Allied diplomats stated they would not deal with a Russian gov ernment which clings to a policy of immediate peace.'
 The hour of Russias greatest trial has come, according to officials. With the German fleet hammering away at Helsingfors, German agents running wild in the country preaching sedi- tion and discord, only miracle can save Russia for the allied cause against Germany.
 The pacifists have won both Moscow and Petrograd, Ambassador Francis reported to the state department More troops and probably--the Baltic fleet have gone over to the new Bol- sheyiki cabinet set up by the Maxi malists with Lenine and Trozsky at its head The expected opposition from Kerensky, alone of the old cabi- net to be at liberty apparently, has so far failed to materialize in the Russian news. The Bolsheviki ruled with an iron hand in both the leading cities and without further bloodshed, meantime sending emissaries to all points to enlist support.
 Facing this situation, the State De- partment was at a loss to move diplo- matically.
 There is no one yet with whom we can treat" said one official. There is no disposition to withhold support from Russia just because there has been revolution. It has been plain from the beginning of the revolution ary movement that such things must be expected.
 'The United States government feels that it must continue to have faith in Russia even to an extent which might appear foolhardy from a financial point of view. As soon as there is a government firmly estab- lished undoubtedly the United States will seek to learn just where the new government stands with regard to all questions affecting Americas inter- ests."
 So far the Maximalists have been playing a lone hand, too busy with internal affairs to seek outside recog- milton. They have at last permitted Ambassador Francis and other allied diplomats to cable, but the dispatches were withheld and only confirmation of earlier press reports were given out
 State Department officials said they were hopeful that next week would bring detailed information on condi- tions throughout Russia upon which this government can base it's future attitude.
 The diplomatic sensation locally. was the embassy's def hurled at the Maximalists.
