TENNIS HEADS WILL PROBABLY
HOLD NATIONAL TOURNAMENTS
AND AWARD ALL TITLES IN 1918
Officials Are Convinced That These May Be
Properly Scheduled and Given-Thousands
of Tennis Players in National Service

FTHERE is every indication that the
l. United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion at its annual meeting in New York
on Friday night will restore the national
titles. 1t will be remembered that the
tennis, golf and athletic officials. after
consulting with Secretary Of War Baker
last winter, decided not TO award ma
tional titles. The decision to do away
with the titles did not help the game
of tennis a bit. 1t discouraged the
younger players. and the life of COM
pctitlve tennis is dependent largely upon
the juniors. In addition to this. there

President Wilson's Attitude

In submitting the foregoing 10 mem
bers of the executive committee Mr..
Myrick further points out that the ma
tonal association has uniformly tried
TO act in accordance with suggestions
from Washington Thus far It has had
the approval cf Administration officials,
expressed or implied. for Its policies,
and there IS no disposition to change

The proposal TO restore championships
next season is In line with opinions eX-
pressed by President Wilson and Secre-

activities as will tend to improV" the

throughout the country.
In this connection particular em-

Mary Lamm Kills Self
BY Drinking StryChrine

Mary Lamm, aged 23, domestic in
the home Of H. H. Roberts, Ais
South Twenty-third street, committed
suicide by drinking a solution of
strychnire Thursday evening between
7 and 9'o'clock.
She left the following note:
Stuart, l had to do this. Call Dohg-
las 802l and ask him to come and see.
(Signed) Mary"
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts had gone out
for the evening Miss Lamm was in
the house reading when they left.
During the evening she called DR.. L.
A. Dermody and asked him to come
to her assistance. DR.. Dermody was
unable to go, but sent DR.. Brown.
The doctor found the girl lying at
the foot of the stairs in great agony,
with the bottle of solution of strych-
nine beside her. All possible relief
was given, but it was too late.
1t developed that she had ordered
the strychnine some days ago when
Mrs. Roberts was not at home and
that she ordered it in the name OF
Mrs. Roberts, who was known to the
druggist. .
Miss Lamm was formerly student
nurse in a Fremont hospital. She
has a brother, William o. Talbitzer,
2108 ] street.

sidering an inquest.

WEATHER UNUSUAL
THIS TIME OF YEAR
Hottest Part of Weather Had
Been Passed Year Before
Last Before June, Says
Weather Man.

, This weather is bit extraordinary
for June |, Colonel Welsh OF the
weather bureau admits. It was snow
ing in Denver this morning. The
temperature was 81, aud in Cheyenne
it was 3. Killing frost visited parts
of Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas.
The lowest temperature in Ne
braska was at North Platte and Val
cntine, where it was 40. The lowest
at Omaha was So,
in 1857 said Colonel Welsh, Eve
had passed the hottest weather of the
summer before June. The hottest
day of that summer was May II. when
the thermometer rose to 90. In June
the maximum was but SO; in July, 81,
and in August, 81.
an spite of the seemingly excess
sive rain this spring we have only
| about onc-fourth inch more than the
average rainfall so far this year.
Winter has returned to western Ne
braska, according to reports to the
railroads. A large area of the state
is covered with snow to depth OF
one to three inches. .tm
On the Burlington's southern line,
the snow extends from Denver, all
the way through to McCook, this
state. On the northern line it is gen.
eral from Sheridan down to and
around Alliance.
The Union Pacific reports snow
nearly the entire distance from west
OF Cheyenne, east to Sidney,
According TO weather data kept in
the railroad offices, this is the first
time in more than twenty years that
snow to any depth has fallen in Ne
braska.

URIC ACID I
An Enemy in Ambush
(By DIR. M. C. LUCAS.)

1t was not until the discovery by
Sir Arthur Garrod, in 1S48, that the
blood of gouty patients contained uric
acid in an excessively large amount,
that much attention was paid to this
subject. Later scientific men learned
that in gout (also true in rheuma-
tism,) the kidneys do not work prop
erly to throw off the uric acid poison;
consequently uric acid crystals are
deposited in and about the joints,
where an inflammation is set up in
the nearby tissues. When for any rea-
son the circulation is sluggish, as in
the joints of the toes, crystals formed
from URIC acid are deposited there,
and one suffers from gout; or, when
deposited in the tissues, one suffers
from muscular rheumatism or articu-
lar rheumatism. My only medicine to
counteract the uric acid and to throw
it out of the system lis tablets of
Anuric double strength) three times
a day.
The pain in the back, lumbago, pain
in the neck, creaky joints, stiffness in
muscles, have all been proven to be
caused by uric acid poison in the
blood and tissues. The kidneys soon
become diseased, then there often fol-
lows disease in the muscles of the
heart.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is
to be done? What can the ordinary
person do to properly balance bodily
health. The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of
water between meals, and take an uric
acid solvent before meals for awhile,
such as Anuric double strength), OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store. 1t
was first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
of the Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y. Most every one troubled with
uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves
the uric acid as hot water will dis
solve sugar.-Advertisement.

THE PRODUCER IS THE PATRIOT

THE PRODUCER IS THE PATRIOT
 Just now every proper source of this sort of publicity and many which are frank butters in," are showing a record output of circulars, bulletins, pleas and exhortations to the farmer to "produce more food" There is no question about the desirability of pro- ducing more food, but there is serious question as to both the ad- visibility and propriety of a lot of the propaganda through which it is being urged.
 There are few official sources like the U. s. Department of Agriculture and the State Agriculture Colleges from which such material very prop erly comes (and they are furnishing "good stuff," by the way) but from some other sources it is useless and gratuitous. The farmers might, with much more propriety, flood the mails cityward to caution few other very large classes of people against their unmitigated wastes-not only of money and materials, but of time and opportunity which properly employed might work, in their own homes and communities, a fraction of the relief they are asking the farmer to give.
 The farmers have come to their present important position as occu- pants of the producing lands, through
