Old Looks !?

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid In the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head In early years Is, indeed, often a
sign Of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing In young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation Is OF the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t Is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric,
double strength. which Is to be taken
before meals, In order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache. lumbago, rheuma-
tism. govt, due to uric acid In the blood

Tho True Puritan.

A writer in the Seven Arts believes
that we have the Puritan still with us
and he thus pOrtrays him:
THE true Puritan Is Mt once the
most unselfish and the most self-right-
eous Of men. There Is nothing he will
not do for you. give up for you, suffer
for you. But ut the same time there
Is no Granny Of your world that he will
not illuminate with the virtue of this
doing Of his. His real satisfaction
comes not from his action of benevo-
lence but from the moral Of the tale.
He need not boast about his renunci-
alton or his altruism. But In any true
Puritan atmosphere, that pride will be
prevalent. Indeed, 1t Is the oxygen of
mat atmosphere. Wherever you come
across that combination Of selfless de-
votion with self-righteousness, you
have the essence Of the Puritan,
Should you come across the one with
out the other you would find not the
Puritan, but the saint"
