Great Britain Spends 20 Mil
lion Dollars a Day-Debt
to Be 20 Billions.

London. Feb. 1.-THE average daily
expenditure Of Great Britain is now
95.7sO.000 Andrew Bonar Law. chan
cellor 9f the exchequer, announced in
the house Of commons today.
The chancellor said the total expen-
ditnre since the beginning Of the war
was. & 200, ,OOo.o 900.
At the end Of the current year the
national debt Would stand between
E3.soO. 100000 and 6 1900. 100000. Ad-
vances to allies and dominions would
be Approximately G39O, 100000.
The number of applications and the
amount applied for by the general
public for the new loan. the chancellor
said. were larger than ever before.
In giving the progressive increases
in the daily expenditure for the Pc
RODS of the war corresponding with
the five votes of credits, Mr.. Bonar
Law said the daily expenditure the
last So days was f5,790,000. This
increase, he said, was not due to re-
cent advances to the allies and Great
Britain's dominions, for the dominions
were now beginning largely to finance
themselves but to the cost of muni-
tions and to the increased cost of food,
amounting to s190.000,O00 daily. j.
In announcing that at the end of
the current year the national debt
would stand at between E3,S00.000,00O
and G 5000, 100000 and that the ad-
vances to Great Britain's allies and
dominions would be approximately
e E390,O00,000, Mr.. Bonar Law, asked
whether the entente would be able to
bear the burden Of bringing the war
to a successful conclusion. He said he
had every confidence in the future
and believed that the new loan of
G550,0O0,000 would be success.
Mr.. Benar Law said the government
had difficult road fronting it as a ma
tion and that there would be no draw
ing gack. Great Britain would be able
to stand the financial strain longer
than her enemies and it would not be
on that account that Great Britain
would be forced to make a disastrous
peace.

: KIDNEY { co.

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions. the skin
being the second partner If we are
anxious to keep wei and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also. free
the blood from noxious elements, we
must pay special attention to a good
action of the skin and to see that the
kidneys are flushed SO as to eliminate
the poisons from the blood. The pores
of the skin can be easily clogged, and
frequent baths with soap and water help
to remove the injurious products that
clog the pores.
Sweatings, by hard work or in bath,
at least once week, help to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty of
pure water, with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the near
est drug store-Anuric, which will help
iluh the Kidneys and the intestines. Ask
for DR.. Pierce's Anuric.
