UricAcid!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele in
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
, many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry of
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

producers and handlers which con-
ferred at the administration offices.
Arthur C. Ilfeld of the Charles Ilfeld
Company, Las Vegas, was appointed
representative of the bean industry of
the state food administration, the ap-
pointment being approved by the
committee
The appointment was made at the
suggestion of Mr. Ely that he desired
such man so the administration
could keep in close touch with the
bean situation and advise buyers ard
producers of conditions as they arise
Present at the meeting we're the fol
lowing:
Arthur c. Ilfeld, Herbert Herstein,
Herstein Seed CO., Clayton; Neal Jen-
son, Estancia; John H. oyer, Estan-
cia; j. A. Perkins, Mountainair; DR..
F. A. Tucker, Springer; o. o. Gragg,
banker, Nara Vista.
Mr.. Ely stated the purpose of the
meeting to be to establish the best
working relation between the buyers
and producers, to establish standard
marketable product and a relation of
cooperation between the buyers and
producers and the food administration.
The above committee, after a full
discussion unanimously adopted the
following propositions:
First-That all beans should be
bought on the basis of recleaned
beans
Second-That all beans should be
shipped in new, net weight, one hun
dred pound sacks.
Third-That the gross handling ex
pense. including profits for the buy
er should be five per cent (5%) net
for choice, recleaned beans.
The following matters of general
interest we're brought out:
That there is no such article as the
Colorado Pinto Bean" hut that X is
the pinto Bean" and Colorado has no
more just claim to the Pinto bean than
New Mexico; that the New Mexico
pinto bean is more nutritive article
than the Colorado pinto beam that the
dry farming product is better than the
irrigated
Reports from various sections
showed the beans had not threshed
out we'll this year Emphasis was
laid on the importance of keep
ing other varieties from creeping
into the shipments, careful recleaning
and careful selection of seed. "The
idea said Mr.. Ilfeld, "is to make the
standard of these beans so well known
and recognized that whenever man
orders New Mexico pinto beans he
knows what he is going to get"
Mr.. Ilfeld estimates for the San Mi
guel county district total of Fifteen
40,000-pound cars. Estimates on the
Springer-Wagon Mound-French dis
trict are around 100 cars; Roy district,
1875 cars The crop is believed to be
better in the northern part of the state
than in other districts. AS compared
to New Mexico's probable 1000 or 1900
cars, Colorado, it is said, will have
1000 cars.

Campaign Week. In this week a
concerted effort is to be made to Sc
cure a pledge from every family in
the United States to cooperate in
food conservation, so far as their
circumstances permit.
Each state will have campaign com
mittees which will provide workers
to visit every family in an endeavor
to secure these pledges. Every fam
lily signing pledge card will receive
a window card to show that it is a
member of the United States Food
Administration, and a card of in
structions on conservation and sub

Teach Children Conservation;
Start at Bottom to Save Food

Food, Supplies, Men equals Success in
War.
We have men.
We have supplies.
We have food-for ourselves, but the
supply of our Allies is short. We
must help feed them for If they fail,
we fail; If they are ensaved by au-
tocracy-we cannot live for our
selves alone.
Eat wisely--eat enough-don't waste
If every state superintendent, every
city superintendent, every town,
county or district superintendent, ev-
cry principal and every teacher will
teach to the children the avoidance
of food waste and intelligent selec-
tion of the use of those things which
we have in abundance, we will not
fail.
Conserving food does not mean eat
ing less; it means eating less of
some things and more of others:
Eat less wheat-more rye, corn and
oatmeal
Eat less beef and pork-more fowl and
eggs.
Eat less animal fat-more vegetable
oils.
Eat more of our abundance of perish
ables, eat more potatoes-save the
concentrates, so that we may ship
more to our Allies.
Buy no more than you need-eliminate
waste.
These are the principles of food con-
servation The details of methods
are being made available to all.
The Schools Part
There are 22,500,00 school children in
the United States. There are 100000
teachers to teach these children. If
every teacher will teach every child
under her care about food conserya-
ton, many millions of families will
get the message-and many OF these
will receive it in no other way. The
teachers in Germany are teaching
food conservation.
Mr.. Hoover says that food will win
the war Every superintendent.
principal or teacher who teaches the
methods of saving food to the chill
dren, in such a way that the chill
dren will take this message home to
their parents, is performing an i'm
portant service in the prosecution
of this war-nothing more important
or more vital can be done by the
schools to win the war.
There are over 23,000,000 families in
the United States, of these perhaps
10000 900 to 100000 are repre-
sented in the schools. If each OF
these families cuts its consumption
of wheat one-fifth-using corn, rye,
potatoes etc, instead -one-half of
our wheat problem will be solved.
The children in the schools can help
bring this about
An autocracy like Germany can or
der food conservation; its method
is force The use of force in such
matters is repugnant to a democ-
racy We must prove that we can
accomplish, through voluntary asso-
