A recent issue of the British Medi-
cal journal explains a remarkable
discovery of DR.. James Scherer, and
describes a new process of photoSra-
phy by which an abscess of the liver
or the kidneys can be photographed
from living patients. This will be in
valuable because so many people SUI
fer from kidney disease. and if it can
be recognized in time they, no doubt,
can be saved and life prolonged. Such
photographs as can be obtained by this
new process viii show whether there
is a blockade in the intestines or not.
whether the kidneys are normal and
able to do the great burden. put upon
them.
Unfortunately, what the liver can't
take care of passes on to the kidneys,
and the intimate relation between the
two often causes a disease of the kid
aeys. one OF the pOisons retained
within the system is uric acid in eX-
cess.
Death would occur if the kidneys
did not work Cay and night in sep
arating poisons and uric acid from the
blood.
The danger signals are backache.
depressions, aches and pains. heavi-
ness. drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, ChillineSs, rheumatic. twinges,
swollen joint or govt
This can be avoided by stimulating
the kidneys to increased action, and
because of its tonic effect on this or
gan l would advise any one to pur-
chase Anuric, (Which is to be had
nowadays at almost any drug store)
and take it three times a day, to-
gether with a pint of hot water, an
hour before meals BY getting rid of
the uric acid you can prevent and cure
rheumatism. govt and the pains and
aches due to this uric acid stored
within the system.
have found in practice that Anuric
double strength is more potent than

the uric acid as hot water does sugar.

TIGHT MONEY IS NOT READY
MONEY

T'HE Government can get money in the
long, critical years before us from only
two sources. loans and taxes. Events
may add another and yet another year
of war and its sacrifices to the strain. The
procedure in that case would seem on the
surface to he simple enough TO find
more loans and more taxes But what if
the system Of taxes prevents the raising
OF loans? What if, when we look for
ready money, We find tight money?
This is not a quarrel between progress
sive and reactionary tendencies although
some of the provisions in the bill re-
ported to the House suggest that n clash
between radicals" and conservatives"
is expected. 1t is not or should not he.
oven n clash between Republicans and
Democrats, because these taxes are adj
mittedly to be only temporary wartime
measures 1t is n dispute between those
who ask for a scientific taxation to pro-
duce the results that every one demands
and those who are not looking far enough
into the future.
If loans and taxes had nothing to do
with each other it would be easy. But
they come from the same source. the
profits of industry. Very heavy taxes on
excess profits and on incomes could he
so large that they would cut down the
supply of ready money and kill the bond
market, so that loans would be hard to
raise. OF course there will be rush Of
patriotic money" for the Liberty Loan.
But after the first rush we may expect a
tightening Of resources as capital, the
most skittish mare in the world when the
tax bride appears adjusts itself to the
new conditions of a nation at war.
The House committee, whose work will
obviously have to be revised in more than
one feature by the Senate, believes that
the bulk of the new taxes should be paid
by comparatively small number of per-
sons and corporations that have large in
| comes or profits. Even IL the House bill
is correct in principle as an emergency
| measure, Congress must nevertheless
make the future safe by guarding against
the danger of so placing the taxes that
industry will he set back. In that case
the Government would not easily raise
its loans from the rich or from the say
try slackens the people will not have
the savings to lend to the Government.
