Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act as kind
of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or degenerated, by
disease or old age, then these poisons are
retained in the body. If we wish to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or if We
want to increase our chances for long
life, DR.. Pierce of the Invaids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, says that you should drink
plenty of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then
procure at your nearest drug store Anuric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
II we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty Of pure
water, take Anuric three times day for
month. Anuric is many times more potent
than ithia and dissolyes uric acid as hot
yater does sugar.

There is lad in town in New Hamp-
shire, says the New York Times, where

their children's hair by means of pair Of

class of which this boy was member
the story OF Samson and Delilah. When
she had finished she said TO him:
Henry, what do you learn from the
Samson story 2"
THAT il don't never pay" responded

Sandy Knew How.

The kirk in a certain Scottish village
was in urgent need OF repair, and Sandy
McNabb, a very popular member, had
been invited to collect subscriptions for
the purpose.
One day the minister met Sandy walk
ing irresolutely along the road. He at
once guessed the cause.
"Man, Sandy" he said earnestly.
"Tm sorry to see you in this state"
"Ah, we'll, it's for the good o. the
cause" replied the delinquent happily.
Eye see, meenister, it's through these
subscriptions. Pve been down the glen

made me hae wee drappie." )"
Livery house! But-but-but surely,

Why Corn ls Hiuher

While we are being urged to substi-
butte corn for wheat to favor our allies
I'm the war, the price OF corn continues
In its upward course. Week before
last 3405 for 1o0-lb bag Of corn meal.
Last week s415; this week s4.25. When
asked the reason. a dealer in a Kenne-
bee city answered: No corn in sight
OF course he did not mean that there
is no corn to be had but transporta-
ton is the great and growing difficult
~. And. what is worse, there is no
relief in sight The latest bulletin
from the Northeastern Department of
the American Railway Association
says:
The transportation situation is be-
coming the subject of growing public
uneasiness and agitation. Those re-
sponsible for the operation of the rail-
ways realize that transportation con-
ditions unless more vigorously dealt
with by all concerned will grow more
acute. Therefore, the Railroads War
Board believes that it should make to
the public frank statement and ex-
PLANTATION of the facts and indicate
some Of the means which it believes
should be used in dealing with the sit
uation.
Both the public and the manage
ments of the railways must courage
ously face the fact that under the try
ing conditions which will develop this
winter, it probably will become i'm
possible for the carriers to handle all
the trafYic which the shipping public
can offer. The number Of untitled
acquisitions for freight cars, after hav-
ing largely declined between May /
anil Sept. l, in spite of vast augment
alton Of traffic, showed an increase on
October ! and a further increase or
Nov. /.
The main reason. Of course, why the
railways are having such great diff
Guilty in handling all the traffic is tina,
there has been an enormous increase
in its volume. and that this still con-
tinues.
Statistics which have just become
available show that in the months OF
April, August, 1917, inclusive-those
being the first five months after the
entrance Of the United States into the
great war-our railways handled Il
per cent moro freight traffic than ir
tile same months Of 1916. which year
broke al records up to that time. The

Labor for Protection.

for the first time, as a body, has de-
clared for protective tariff. Labor or
CARNATIONS have often declared for
protection but now a national conven-
ton has adopted the following resolu-
ton. without dissenting vote:
Resolved, That this convention
go on record in favor of a policy
OF industrial preparedness and
the enactment of laws by Con-
gress that will adequately protect
all wage-earners of our country
against loss of employment
through any invasion OF the
products Of any other nation"
Here is common ground for labor
and capital. Both need and have now
demanded a more stable tariff policy
that will protect them from the COM
petition Of peoples living under lower
standards. Get together. gentlemen.

Overprioes for Sugar

Complaints are being received at the
Journal office of violation by retailers
of the food administrators regulations
of the price of sugar. Most retailers
ar' combining themselves to the price
ramed. but others are charging II and
in some cases 12 cents per pound. The
food administration has no direct con-
troll over unlicensed retailers, but it
has power to instruct licensed food
dealers not to supply retailers who
are violating the provisions Of the
act AS we understand il, wholesalers
who violate the provisions laid down
ny the food administration, will be
d,a't with by the government at least
to the extent Of cutting off their sup
ply from the rcfiners, and retailers
who charge more than the price
ramed will have their supply cut off
by the wholesaler.
1t has been made plain by National
and State food administration that
which take advantage of war condi-
ticns to exact unreasonable profits on
staple necessaries. The Maine State
food administrator, Leon S. Merrill of
University of Maine, announces that
dealers in foodstuffs who were licensed
Nov. /, will be required to submit to
the U. S. Food Administration, WASH
inston, D. c., on Dec. 1, an inventory
of their stock on hand Nov. 1. Blanks
will be furnished them for the pur-
pose. and they will be expected to
make a report each month. Thus a
comparison Of reports will show
whether boarding has been practiced,
and other facts in regard to the
amount of waste. profit, etc.
No one Is expected to do business
without a profit, or at least to exercise
effort and capital for the public BEN
eht at a private loss. The principal
object OF the rules drawn up for the
licensed dealers are to limit the prices
charged to a reasonable amount over
expenses; to keep the food moving to
the consumer in as direct q line and
with as little delay as possible, and to
limit contracts for future delivery and
dealings in future contracts.
In recent years only on rare and
brief occasions have retailers been able
to realize one cent per pound on sugar.
At the present time, IL we have been
correctly informed, wholesalers are
forbidden to charge more than nine
cents per pound for sugar, and re-
taiIers more than ten cents per pound,
cash sale, taken away by customer.
II greed persuades any retailer to In
dulge in two or three cents profit on
every pound Of sugar doled out in these
times Of scarcity. he should be called
TO account by the food administration,
and we believe he will be, il reported
by consumers at State or National
headquarters.
