SEND-OFF FOR BOYS

There was a gathering here Mon
day evening Of unusual interest and
in many ways of sadness. The town
hall was literally packed with people
from this and surrounding towns who
came to attend the reception for Har-
old Ruiter and Clarence Wilson, who
went to Aver, Mass, today to enter
the training camp for our drafted
boys. Hon. J. B. Holton acted in his
usual pleasing way as toast master
and there was a nice program, solos
by H. H. Tracy, Mrs. Leo Callahan
and Miss Esther Buck, readings by
Rev. W. r. Price and Miss Elsie Nc
Namara, prayer by Rev. W. D. Heth-
erington, DR.. Kendrick would not re-
spond to his call, so Mr.. Cofran of
Derby was called on and his remarks
were worth going far to hear. He
has a son in the navy and surely
knows whereof he speaks. G. w. D.
called was VIM. Nelson. His re-
marks will not soon be forgotten.
Both Harold and Clarence have been
much in his home and are very dear
him.
Both young men are of exceptional
merit in physical and mental gifts
and have always lived in this village.
| We think we can safely say that all
who know them have great liking and
respect for them both.
Mrs. Price presented them both
with a comfort bag from the Red
Cross and another package from their
friends here and assured them of the
| interest all have in their welfare and
that always in the future of their
lives as soldiers if they would let the
people here know of want or need it
J would be speedily supplied.
| Someone suggested that collec-
| ton be taken for their benefit and in
la very few minutes $40 was collected
which was evenly divided. Both Har-
old and Clarence thanked the people
for all gifts and good will. Refresh
ments of doughnuts, cake and coffee
were served.
If all could not send them away
with a smile they wished them God
speed and a safe return when the
| world has been made safe for democ-
racy.
During the evening "The Star Span
gled Banner" and "America" were
| sung.

today Senator Stone probably will be

Washington correspondent, in which it
was found that only three senators

Meat Unnecessary
SAYS j. H. WATSON. NJ. ID.

SAYS j.. Ill. WAlSON. VI.
Meat is the most expensive article
of diet, and the least necessary. Add
milk. cheese fruit fresh fish, to vege-
table articles and you have good
diet. The rheumatic should abstain
from meats, or eat very sparingly-
1t is a well-known fact that in govt
serious organic disease of the kidneys
occurs. Such scientists as Futcher,
Minkowski. Hans Vogt and Reach
have shown that uric acid in excess IS
retained in the blood when the kid
neys do not help .eXcrete this poison
Uric acid retained within the body IS
believed to be the preceding stage or
cause of Bright's disease. The eX-
cessive use of heterogeneous food OF
meats often increases uric acid.
High living, intestinal indigestion
constipation, disturbance of the liver,
frequent chilling of the body-aI re
suit in retaining within the body an
excess of uric acid.
The best way to overcome this con-
dition and prevent rheumatism and
govt is to drink plenty of water, say,
a pint of hot water morning and night
with lemon juice squeezed into it, and
take Anuric double strength) three
times a day. This can be obtained at
any drug store. This is my invariable
prescription lor lHe IHeuhAatlS PC
son, and il usually follows that the
rheumatic pains. the backache. such as
lumbago, pains in the back of the neck
or limbs, will disappear. This Anurlc
by it's tonic effect upon the kidneys en-
courages them to greater activity, and
thereby the uric acid is thrown out of
the system. 1t is also well to prevent
constipation and that greater evil,
auto-intoXication, to take bending eN-
ercises every morning. plenty of wa
ter between meals, and at least once
a week take vegetable laxative.

For Food Control
Confers with Senate and

Legislation

Washington. May 15.-President Will
son tonight. at White House confer
enoe with members of the Senate and
House Agriculture committees. empha-
sized the necessity for prompt action
upon the food control legislation "es-
sentisl TO the conduct OF the war"
The President disclosed TO the legis-
lators the food situation in the United
States. the Allied countries and in neu-
trail countries which the United States
must at least help 20 feed. There were
suggestions that there had been too
much aarmist talk about food condi-
tons. The President said that it would
be difficult to express in parliamentary
language that should be done with any
one who would speculate in food prod
ucts in a situation like the present.
The various bills now before Con-
gress probably will be revised into
three measures to express definitely
the ideas Of the Administration as to
food control. The first lever bill 70
provide a food survey and to stlmu-
late production probably will be left
as il is. The second measure, the So
called regulatory bill. probably will be
changed to include the provisions of
the Gore resolution, calling for a con-
troller-general of food supplies.
A third measure will propose prefer
entail shipments for foodstufs. This
