ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test a man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation OF his water. This Is most essen
tial because the kidneys play a most i'm
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says 'Dr. Pierce of Sur
glcal Institute. Buffalo, N. Y, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty Of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric. double
strength, before meals. Coo package.
This An-u-ric is late discovery of DR..
Pierce and Is put up in tablet form, and
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
For that backache, lumbago. rheumatism,
rusty" Joints. swollen feet or hands, due
to uric acid in the blood, Anuric quickly
dissolves the uric acid as hot water does
sugar. Take a little Anuric before meals
and prolong life. Send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package of Anuric.

LOOSE MORALS IN RUSSIA
Marriage Vows Are Broken on Least
Provocatlon and Severing Of Bonds
Is Very Common.

Morals in Russian society are get
ting very loose, the sanctity of mar
rage is being challenged by too great
a facility for obtaining divorce. Many
girls marry in haste to get their in
dependence, and look upon their first
matrimonial venture as step to bet
ter themselves In the future, writes
correspondent, 1t seems paradoxical,
but It is nevertheless a fact that 1t
Is far easier for married woman than
for spinster to find husband.
The breaking off Of an engagement
creates a scandal, but the severing Of
matrimonial bonds is becoming quite
the usual thing. The most insignif-
cant misunderstanding causes husband
and wife to break their marriage VOWS
and go their different ways. Gossips
chatter about impending divorces as
much as Of budding engagements. In
Russia divorced woman does not
lose a 1.-THE of her reputation, If no
outrageous scandal attaches to her d.
vorce. Should she marry again, she
returns to society with her new nus
band and enjoys all the prerogatives
of her new position. The victims of
this state Of things are the unfortu-
nate children.

"Mrs. Buffalo," said Daddy, twas
watching the children growing up.
Little son Henry she said, will soon
be big buffalo. His horns are curved.
For such a long time they have been
quite straight-the way all my sons
horns have been when young. Bot
now it shows Henry is growing up
he has beautiful horns which go of in
semi-circular curves"
"What are semi-circular curvesf"
asked Nick.
"They are curves which only go half
round-just like half circle" an
swered Daddy. "And so Mrs. Buffalo
gazed with foAdness at her son.
"Henry, Mrs. Buffalo's child, was
really much older than / think we
would guess"
"How old was hep asked Nancy.
"About six months DID," said Nick.
maybe a year old" suggested
Nancy, "if Daddy says he was older
than we would imagine when full
grown"
Daddy laughed and shouted, "Both
wrong!
Nov Henry was born one May,
seven years before Mrs. Buffalo made
this speech. She did not know that
he was seven years old. She had not
stopped to count the years, but she
did know that he was at least q grown
up son because of his horns.
ITO be sure every spring of the
seven years she knew that she and
her family and cousins and relations
had all shed their coats and that they
had not bothered about new ones until
the fall. This had happened every
year. 1t was simply that Mrs. Buffalo
had not counted how many years there
had been.
"'Come and talk to me- said Mrs.
Buffalo, as she noticed Mrs. Bison not
far away"
what kind of an animal was Mrs.
Bison, Daddy2" asked the children.
"Mrs. Bison belonged to the same
family of animals as Mrs. Buffalo.

It is also called a bison. It is like
having two names that mean Just about
the same thing.
But this buffalo had always been
called Mrs. Bison, and when Mrs. Buff
falo called her she went right over.

more puzzled every moment.

"'And after a little bit heard a
third person say, 1.-THE buffalo is get

"'Then I must be feeling rare too

so 1 am every bit as rare as you are
"T suppose that is true said Mrs.
Bison. But you must give me the
credit for having heard that we are

mo, we probably never would have

1T must mean that we are gentle
and nice, even If we are stubborn and
always insist upon having our own
way. OF course now and again the
bulls get very angry, but we don't. And
perhaps 1t means that we are so very

SIGNS OF DECAOENCE.

The summary of the United States government last week on the state of the war frankly admits that the Ger mans are still strong and far from de- feat.
 The report, however, makes a state ment, if true, and no doubt it is cor rect, contains reasons for the most brilliant hopes.
 The government makes the official declaration that the German soldier has lost his stamina, his morale.
 An army had better lose it's fairest positions; it could easier give up it's artillery; it would be in better shape if it lost it's leading generals than to lose it's morale.
 Napoleon said that three-fourths of an army's success depended upon that spiritual and vague essence known as morale.
 It's the will to victory that wins a war.
 The same stamina that wins in the fields of peace conquers on the bloody fields of Mars.
 The German army, minus morale, has lost its greatest armament, and it's defeat is certain.

BANNING THE RICE SHOWERS.

After a great amount of hard work, the expenditure of time, some money and more pains than would ordinarily be devoted to such research, The Cor dova (Alaska) Daily Times has an- nounced the statistical fact that l. OOO,OO0 pounds of rice are wasted each year in showering brides. It urgently recommends, therefore, that this rep rehensible waste of good rice on new ly married couples should cease and determine in these days of food con servation."
 And, come right down to it, there is economic sense back of the idea; and, appropriately enough, the suggestion for the abandonment of an extrava- gant and altogether senseless custom that is as old as history comes out of the glrorous, extreme northwest, where rice is rice and food in any form is commodity not to be wasted.
