not work properly throw off the uric acid poison
consequently uric acid crystals deposited in and
about the joints, in the muscles, where an inham-
nation is set up in the nearby tissues.
Hague has said, that "gout is rheumatism, and
rheumatism gout." If uric acid is formed in excesi
within the body it is passed the kidneys, which
act as filter to pass off this poison If the
not excreted by the kidneys it distributed thru the
tissues The choice sites for such storage are in the
joints, muscle sheaths where the circulation is weak
est and where also the alkainity of the blood is lowest
Consequently must do everything to throw of this
uric acid poison, and simple methods are best Flush
the kidneys by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals During winter months the circulation

Eat less meat, drink more water, and take ANURIc
(doube triple strength), after each meal and at

JAPANESE HERE TO HELP
THEIR STEEL SITUATION

Washington. Aug. 22.--The Japan
csc mission has come to the United
States principally to buy steel
. Japan cannot get along FanotaN'
wear without 1t. She needs scientists
TO come and show her how to develop
her big steel industries. She wants
no mony, she comes as big buyer.
These statements are made upon
the authority of person close to the
japanese embassy and the japanese
war mission which arrived in Wash l.
ington today. The mission. which has
been characterized as mission OF
sentiment" will endeavor to smooth
~ont, it is said on the same authority,
some of the difficulties which result
ed from the anti-alien laws on the
Pacific coast.
But the principal mission of the
Japanese Is to find somewhere in this
country source of supply of steel
so that Japan may develop her own
industries
"Our steel manufactures in Japan
have not attained any development,
one Of the Japanese diplomats stated
TO representative OF the lnterna-
tional News Service tonight. we
need steel now, and can not go or
the way we are going for more thar
a year unless we get it. We not only
need it now, but we will need it still
more after the war. We viii neec
it particularly for our shipbuildins
industry, as we intend to develop oui
commerce. We must not only have
from the United States the manufac
/ tured steel, but we are anxious Il
| obtain here steel makers, scientists
| and others to help us to establish
| plants in Japan.

I Allusion was made to the fact tina

WITH GREAT FOOD SUPPLY

More Eggs and Butter In Storage In
Chicago Than Last Year. but Con-
sumers Are Consistently Plundered

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Paralysis seized
the hog market at the stock yards
today. Ripe for a break after daily
rise since June II. the market saw
Tuesdays price OF $40 a hundred
weight drop as low as $3.50. with
few sales, and bids ranging from SIS
to sl9.25. Sixteen thousand hogs ar
rived, as compared with 81, 600 a year
ago,
The cattle market created the real
thrill, top steers going to sl5.5u, nm
advance from SIS Tuesday and the
highest price in history
Apprehension of an embargo on eX-
ports and the fact that the hog mar
ket was abnormally high were the
reasons for the decline. The shippers
and packers were out of the market
Many spectators were hit. Seven
thousand hogs had been carried over
from Tuesday in anticipation of an
advance that did not come. Practi-
calIy all of todays hog receipts
had TO be held over because OF
no demand. Prices are expected &c
decline to an SIS basis. With pork
chops retailing at forty cents pound
and restaurants beginning to cut them
off their menus, a further decline was
regarded as a certainty.
Investigation today showed Chicago
TO be paying unprecedented prices foi
many OF the necessaries of life. Here
are some of the increases:
Eggs-4sc per dozen; last year, &c
Butter-4ec III: last year, 3gc.
Cheese-3Sc III; last year. csc.
