TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by q famous physician
for long life was: vKeep the kidneys in
good order! Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce OF Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DIR.
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

to issue free membership cards to

GLASuRE IS CHOSEN
oSkALoOSA MAN is HoNoRED AT
INSURANCE CONVENTION

Herbert o. Glasure was at Dubuque
last week as a delegate from the local
Bureau of Insurance men, to the an
nual convention of the Iowa Associa-
tion of Local Insurance agents. The
convention was entertained in lavish
manner by the Insurance Agents of
Dubuque and they had busy and a
profitable meeting with program
overfiowing with events and hospitali-
ty. The meeting Of next year goes to
Keokuk from which place most cor
dial invitation was pressed.
A feature of the convention was the
holding of the sessions on board an
excursion steamer which made trips
upon the Mississippi
Considerable important business
was transacted. Mr.. Glasure will re-
port in detail to the next Bureau meet
ing.
Welcome was extended in formal
address by Senator Nicholas j.
Schrup of Dubuque, president of Du-
buque Fire & Marine Co. Reply was
R. Moore of Cedar Rapids.
An address brim full of information
was offered by Emory H. English,
Iowa State Insurance Commissioner
who made a point of explaining and
illustrating the new laws passed by
the last state assembly touching in
surance, the technical and legal phas-
'cs.
Mr.. Stafford, superintendent of
agents of the London and Lancheshire
Company of London, and other speak
ers interested the delegates in eXpla-
nations of modern business methods.
Resolutions were passed touching
desired legislation and an effort will
be made to secure an agents qualifi-
cation law similar to or patterned af-
ter laws in other states where the
law has been found of greatest benefit
Examination of agents before state
board will be required requiring that
the candidate must know the business.
Increased compensation for agents
received lengthy consideration. In
fact the convention was too brief to
handle the work laid before it.
Oskaloosa was duly honored in the
choice of Mr. II, o. Glasure as one of
the vice presidents of the state organ
ization. The state is divided into sew
eral districts and Mr.. Glasure becomes
sort of District Deputy for South
east Iowa and the furthering of the
county extension work will be in his
hands.

BAR ASKS REFORMS
CHANGES IN LAWS sueoEsTEDl
BY IOWA LAWYERS.

"There should be an immediate re
lcodification of the statutes of Iowa.
'The time Tor taking appeal from
the district court to the supreme court
should be reduced from six months to
two months.
ACTIONS in equity should be subject
to trial at the first term in the same
manner chat law actions are, subject
only to the right of continuance for ap-
propriate cause"
These are the three reforms recon-
mended to the next Iowa Legislature
by the State Bar association. At their
annual meeting at Council Bluffs on
June 2S and 30, several other proposed
reforms will be discussed by the law
yers and judges of the state which
may later be recommended to the
Iowa legislators.
"The opinion that it would be wise
to recodify the Iowa statutes has been
held by many persons for long time, ;"
says H. c. Horack, secretary of the
State Bar association. "This was
particularly evident at the last meet
ing of the legislature, when there was
a marked effort to have the statutes
arranged in more logical and system
attic order than they are nowa
"The other two recommendations, :"
Professor Horack declares, are aim
ed at the delays in procedure. There
is common feeling that lawyers are
to blame for delays, when as mat
ter Of fact, the bench and bar are mo-
more satisfied with this state of affairs
than the public. This is why we are
trying to get laws passed which will
speed up court procedure"
The committee which shaped the
above recommendations was made upI
of the following persons; Judge w. ID.
Evans of the supreme court, Hamp-
ton; Judge M. j.. Wade of the federal
court, Iowa City, Former Judge Jesse
A. Miller Des Moines; J. s. McKemy,
