Old Looks?

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance Of gray hair OF baldhead
in early years is, indeed, often a sign Of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way TO combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is Of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store small package Of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, govt, due to uric
acid in the blood should quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

REPUBLICS OF SOUTH WANT WAR

tically certain Brazil. aroused by the
sinking OF her steamship Parana. is
expected TO become belligerent this
week and It is assumed that her lead
will be followed promptly by other
countries.
Reports OF divided opinion in Ar
gentina have given officials here little
encouragement TO look for aggressive
action by that country.
Active support OF the United States
by at least two OF the five central
American republics and pos Iibly by
four would not be surprising. Official
reports that Estrada Cabrera. presi-
dent OF Guatemala. is contemplating
seriously break with Germany have
been received. So long as MeNico's
course is underlined. unusual interest
is attached to the position Of the cen
trail American governments. especially
Guatemala. controlling the southern
frontier OF Mexico. In the event OF
the development OF an unfriendly sit
uation in Mexico. it is realized that
Guatemala's role would be far from
unimportant.
In Guatemala. Cabrera has built up
what is regarded generally as the
most efficient army in Central Amer
lea and with it he would be in po-
sition TO lend valuable assistance 10
rhe United States. Antipathy between
the Guatemalans and the Mexioans
there has existed for years.
II is known that earnest efforts nave

GERMANY WILL IGNORE MESSAGE
Foreign Office Declares There Will
Be No official Reply.

Berlin.-The complete text of Pres
ident Wilson's message has arrived by
wireless. 1t was printed in the morning
papers April Z. After a careful study
the foreign office declared that there
will be no official reply.
The Weser Zeitung of Bremen ex-
plains the entrance of the United
States into the war as follows:
American world policy demands I'M
restricted backing by England in the
case of Japanese-American war.
That is why the English enmity
against Germany had to be taken over
and supported by the United States
which was actually forced into war
in the face of anti-militarism and its
stand in favor of the protection of
small nations. Truly, an absurd and
nonsensical situation"
