ARE. you BEING i. :.
SLOWLY POISONED?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of govt and rheu-
matism, that this uric acid poison is
deposited in the joints, muscles, or
nerve-sheath. BY experimenting and
analysis at the Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N Y, DR.. Pierce discovered
a combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric, which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and inflamma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, pains
here or. there, you can obtain Anuric
double strength at any drug store
and get relief from the pains and ills
brought about by uric acid.
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due
to a dropsical condition, often caused
by disordered kidneys Naturally
when the kidneys are deranged the
blood is filled with poisonous uric acid,
which settles in the tissues of the
feet, ankles, wrists or back as uratic
salts; or under the eyes in bag-like
formations

kidneys acting properly as to keep the
bowels active to rid the body of
poisons. ~ r..
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take a glass of
hot water before meals and an Anuric
tablet In this, way it is readily dis
solved with the food, picked up by
the blood and finally reaches the kid
neys, where it has a cleansing and
tonic effect .-.... -.-~.
Step into the drug store and ask for
a 50-cent package of Anuric, or send

many times more potent than lithia,

NAVAL ACADEMY
Will GROW FAST
UNDER new Plan

ANNAPOLIS. - Officials estimate
there will be about 1850 midshipmen
at the Naval Academy at the begin,
ming OF the next academic year. Should
the proposed law providing for an ad.
ditional appointment for each United
States senator and representative be-
come a law, the number will not be
less than 1850
There was something more than
1900 midshipmen here at the begin
ming of the present term, which was
by far the largest number ever in the
institution For the half dozen years
just preceding the average number
was between 500 and 900, and up to
90 years ago the normal number was
about 800.
The actual number of midshipmen
now in the academy is 1149, after the
70 who have just resigned are deduct
ed. There are 1873 in the first class.
which will graduate in June unless
the regular order is disturbed. Off
Gals estimate the new fourth class
will contain about $50 members, If as
sembled under the present law, or $50
IL the additional appointments are al
lowed The present fourth class had
a little more than 500 members when
IL began the academic year, and was
by far the largest class which had ever
entered the institution.
II is probable the authorities can
make some temporary provisions to
house the increased number of mid
shipmen II It does not reach above
1850, but it is certain some temporary
quarters must be provided IL the num-
Der is increased through the means of
new legislation An item in the. new
bill calls for an appropriation o.
$1,200,0e0 to construct additions to
Bancroft Hall. the quarters of the mid
shipmen. 1t is intended that this work
shall be speeded up as much as pos
sible, and It is hoped that it will not
be necessary to erect temporary quar-
tiers for the midshipmen. as was done
during the period when the new
academy structures we're being built.
II there is no slip in the plan to
place the naval laboratory here, con.
struction to cost approximately 4,000,.
600 will begin here as early as prac-
ticable this spring.
