Diet, Exercise or DEATH =!

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die of thick
ening of the arteries or of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles. rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take q
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar."

Large Cam1aing
 Factory Assured

ID IRMINGHAM is to have mod 0 ern canning factory with capacity of 10000 to 15,0oo cans day. The meeting of farmers and business men held at the Chamber of Com merce yesterday to discuss the project was large and representative. No one present seemed to have any doubt about the success of the enterprise In Jefferson and adjoining countles small farming has increased in recent years, and with canning plant to "work up'' surplus vegetable and fruit crops truckers will multiply rapidly.
 And what Birmingham is about to do along this line other cities in diff ferent sections of the state will do. Commendable headway has been made in crop diversification within the last three years; but not until market con- ditions broaden not until there is a nearby market for live stock and va ried field products-will diversified tion attain it's full development.
 Every packing house, every pickle factory, every cannery and every feed mill will hasten the day when the farmer will get the prices he has a right to expect. All credit to the men who are taking an active part in organizing the proposed canning company.

Britoms Said to Be

 1T T is reported that there is growing ll unrest in Great Britain because the promises made when Lloyd George took charge of the government have apparently not been fulfilled. A'"gin- gering up' process was expected, but on the surface, if we are to believe re- cent press dispatches, there is dis appointing lack of ginger"

Yet, if any great changes. taken place, except in the personnel of the minis try, the astute British censor has kept them a profound secret. It appears now that these expected developments have not materialized.
 It is said that the suspension of the cabinet system because Lloyd George considered it debating so- ciety in which, presumably, he did not always have the best of the argument has caused great confusion among the heads of departments. All sorts of policies are announced by all sorts of ministers"
 Evidently, too, jealousy is getting in it's work. It is charged that Lloyd George Hikes to be called the prime minister of Europe,'" which his enc mics say is unfortunate, because as prime minister of Great Britain "there are many things left undone by him.
 The powerful Northcliffe papers, which wield an influence in British politics that astonishes the average American of independent thought, arc beginning to show their hostility to tho premier and it is rumored that Lore Northcliffe is looking around for 2 successor to Lloyd George.
 Fault is also being found with thu admiralty, although it is conceded that both the navy and the army ar' doing splendidly, but not through an. particular ability shown by the gov ernment. The politicians say thu Lloyd George regime must, in Ameri

A DUKES BoDYGUARD

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 The war has made difference with one old-time custom in Scotland, in that it has practically done away with the fa- nous armed bodyguard of the Duke of Atholl, which he maintained at his seat Blair Atholl. The men of this body guard. the maintenance of which was technically a breach of the British con stitution, are now practically all at the front Some 250 in number, they vied with the Potsdam giants in point of size, and, armed with the newest pattern ri- fles. for which they long ago exchanged their Lochaber axes and claymores, and regularly drilled and reviewed by the duke, they formed a valuable body of fighting men. Queen Victoria, on the oc- casion of visit to Blair Atholl, "con- doned the offense" of the duke in main- taining his bodyguard by presenting set of colors to the little army

Few Recruits For
 the Regular Army

the Regular Army
 M NOTWITHSTANDING the urgent J NJ appeal which the war depart ment makes for recruits for the regu- lar army applicants for enlistment still come slowly. It seems extremely difficult to improve on the recruiting machinery.
 When the strength of the army was limited to 25,OOo, before the Spanish American war, the standard for en- listment was low compared with that maintained now, but even then the ranks were never quite full.
 Conditions for the private soldier are far better now than they were twenty years ago. The pay is more and in no army in the world are en- listed men so we'll fed or treated with so much consideration; still, it is inn possible to keep the number of regu- lars up to the peace footing minimum. When war threatens all the urging for more enlistments avails nothing. l With an authorized enlisted strength of upwards of 100000, including the soldiers stationed in the Philippines and other outlying possessions, not more than 75 per cent of that number are available for duty. That means that less than 10000 are available i for a first defense line--a force suf- ficient in earlier days when large armies were rarely thought of in this country, but scarcely more than a skeleton now.
 Uncle Sam may not need big army for sometime to come, but it is really serious problem today to maintain a regular establishment adequate ever for border duty or emergency mobili
 zation. The Secretary of War is call ing upon business men and all othel patriotic civilians to assist recruiting
 officers in bringing in more appli

To Offset Damage
 To Winter Oats

N LABAMA had an increased acre. GA age in winter oats, but the se- we're freeze early this month killed most of the crop. Whole fields are laid bare. But the plucky farmer is sowing spring oats extensively and he will turn his attention more than ever to corn, velvet beans and forage.
 This should be Alabama's banner year for corn. A normal cotton crop cannot be expected until the ravages of the boil weevil have been greatly minimized, but with fairly good sea- son cotton, intensively cultivated, should be made profitable enough to make up for any falling off in quantity.
 This states largest corn crop was that harvested in 1915-70, ,000, ,00O bushels. Last year, owing to the floods, the crop was only about 5O,- OOO,0OO. This year every farmer should increase his acreage. If this is done the production should total not less than 1O0,OOO,Ooo bushels; and that will mean more hogs and cattle and more prosperity for the people generally.
