Russia,s Platinum Production.

The production of platinum in the
Ural district in Russia in 1915 is esti-
mated by a correspondent of the Lon
don Mining Journal at only 1854
troy ounces, against 107.774 ounces In
1915; 156774 ounces in 1914, 1882
ounces in 1913 and 1881 ounces in
1912. The decrease last year extend
ed to nearly all the districts but was
most marked on the Demidov estates
and the Shuvalov placers. The short
age of labor has been one Of the causes
of the decrease. The fact that all
crude platinum is now requisitioned by
the government has led, it Is believed.
to the concealment of some quantities,
so that the figures given are below the
real output. A considerable quantity
of crude platinum is understood to be
held by Russian banks, which adj
vanced money to the producers before
the metal was taken by the govern

WHALERS AGAIN ARE ACTIVE
Ancient Industry Has Undergone Note
worthy Revival in America in
Last Few Years.

News dispatches telling Of the re-
cent capture of three sperm whales
by Grays Harbor hunters serve as
reminder that the ancient industry Of
whaling has undergone a noteworthy
revival in the last few years. 1t is
an interesting fact that this revival
has been due largely to the develop
ment of the battleship, one of the
most modern creations of man.
Hundreds of whalers from Ameri-
can ports sailed the seas in the times
before the Civil war, when whale oil
was used for lighting. The discovery
or petroleum caused a slump In the
industry. Historic New Bedford and
Nantucket became the boneyards of a
once mighty fleet, and the race of
hardy American mariners developed
by whaling became almost extinct.
The old romances passed into tradi-
ton.
But as ships, and particularly bat
tleships, grew in size and number it
was found that for use in certain of
the bearings in their ponderous en-
gines there was nothing that would
quite take the place of lease oil,"'
found in the head of the sperm whale,
which is strangely clear and does not
disintegrate under great pressure and
heat. So whalers began to take the
sea again. They are not so primitive
as those of the older generation, but
their cargoes are more than ever in
demand.

ing for Chicago. The extent of the
extensions, / canot definitely say at

the cost Of building materials and
equipment will cut some figure in the
extent Of the budget for the proposed

certain that there will be an increase
in the plan and in its capacity, and
that the increase will be made soon.

erations some sixteen months ago, and
has been one of the biggest of the
new industries secured for Keokuk
two years ago. An electrical process
for smelling zinc is employed at the

was promised that additional units
would be built as fast as the demand
came.

Ia Bad Back
| Made Good
(By T.. w. Bower, M. d.

Backache of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder, which
r,oans that the kidneys are not work
| ing properly. Poisonous matter and
Iuric acid accumulate within the body
| in great abundance, over-working the
sick kidneys, hence the congestion Of
blood causes backache in the sane
,oanner as a similar congestion in the
bead causes headache. You become
nervous, respondent, sick, feverish,
irritable, have spots appearing be-
fore the eyes, bags under the lids,
and lack Of ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective
means Of overcoming this trouble, is
to eat sparingly Of meat, drink plenty
Of water between meals and take a
single Anuric tablet before each
meal for while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist
for Anuric double strength) if you
aren't feeling up to the standard. II
YOU have lumbago, rheumatism,
dropsy, begin Immediately this treat
ment with Anuric. Most scientists
and medical men believe that be-
cause of an over-abundance of uric
acid in the system, uratic salts are
deposited in the tissues and cause
rheumatism and govt.
The physicians and specialists at
DIR. Pierces Institution in Buffalo,
N. Y, have thoroughly tested Anuric
and have been with one accord sue
cessful in eradicating and throwing
off from the system the uric acid
which accumulates and poisons.
Patients having once used Anuric at
this institution have repeatedly sent
back for more.
Such a demand has been created
that Doctor Pierce decided to put
Anuric in the drug stores Of this
country, in a ready-touse form. 1t
will be their own fault if those suf
fering from uric acid troubles do not
take advantage of this wonderful
remedy.
