EUROPE'S WAR HITS BOWLING
Shortage of Pinboys-Few
American Boys Available.

The European war has made itself
felt in many ways, but the latest is
the effect it has had on bowling. With
more leagues and more bOwlers in
competition than ever before, there
is danger of disaster in the bowling
world on account of the shortage Of
pinbOys. Never before has there been
shortage of so serious a character.
Foreigners, principally Polanders,
make up the ranks of the army of pin
boys. Few American lads, except in
small cities and towns, set up pins,
hence the Slav has had a monopoly
of that line Of work. For two years,
however, few, if any, Polanders have
found their way to this country, and
there has been no supply of green
boys.
Since the opening of the war the
green pinboys have secured a grasp
of the English language and have gone
to work in large numbers in factories
and other establishments. Those who
remained in the alley game have
learned to ask for raise, and they
have been getting them at such regu-
lar intervals that clubs and public
alley managers are almost in despair.

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 waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
As a remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms of Inflammation caused
by uric acid AS scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take glass of hot water before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys.
Step into any drug store and ask for

lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.
