the rest of the world, which helped
bring about the present assault on the
peace of Europe. The fight they have
put up shows how efficient autoc-
racy is in war.
"It remains for the democratic peo-
pies to demonstrate their capability
of thinking true in a time of world
crisis, of choosing right leaders, and
of actually surrendering for the time
being their customary privileges and
even their constitutional liberties, in
order that these leaders may meet the
centralized organization of autOcratic
powers with an organization which
shall be equally effective. Suspension
of privilege and liberty on the part of
people at a time like this is not apt to
compromise their rights permanently.
Witness the way in which Lincoln
found it necessary to put the Consti-
tuition in his pocket at times in order
to save the government which that
Constitution had made possible and
how little this affected the course of
our constitutional history after the
crisis has passed.
Unless Germany is beaten, thoroly
beaten, or thru a revolution, changes

forward to Is there any doubt that
in such event she would succeed in
imposing On Austria and her other
allies the plan which she herself has
practiced. of making every citizen a

Theodore Marburg, former minister

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush


1t was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Garrod, in 1S4s, that the
blood of equity patients contained uric
acid IN an excessively large amount.
that much attention was paid to this
subject. Later scientific men learned
that in govt (also true in rheuma-
tism,) the kidneys do not work prop
erly to throw off the uric acid poison
consequently uric acid crystals are de-
posted in and about the joints, where
an inflammation is set up in the near
by tissues. When for any reason the
circulation is sluggish, as in the joints
of the toes, crystals formed from uric
acid are deposited there. and one suf-
fers from govt; or, when deposited in
the tissues, one suffers from muscular
rheumatism or articular rheumatism.
My only medicine to counteract the
uric acid and to throw it out of the
system is tablets of Anuric double
strength), three times a day.
The pain in the back, lumbago, pain
in the neck, creaky joints. stiffness in
u5cles, have all been proven to be
caused by uric acid poison in the blood
and tissues. The kidneys soon become
diseased, then there often follows dis
ease in the muscles of the heart
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? What can the ordinary per-
son do to properly balance bodily
health? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty OF
water between meals. and take an
uric acid solvent before meals for
awhile such as Anuric (doubl
strength). obtained at almost an.
drug store. 1t was first discovered b.
DIR. Pierce, of the Surgical Institut
in Buffalo, n. Y Most every on

MAKING OIL SURVEY
Kansans Will Be Told by X. O
Professor Where Prospects Are.

Lawrence. Kan, June 13-"Dodge
City men are leasing land around
here. Is there any oil out here?''
So writes a Hamilton county man
from a Kansas ranch that is five
miles east of the Colorado line. The
letter was addressed to Dr. +. G.
Moore of the University of Kansas
state geoICgist. Doctor Moore replied
oil in Hamilton county; at least if
there was it was in a different oil
horizon than that found in southern,
central and eastern Kansas.
In eastern Kansas, Doctor Moore
explained, oil is found at 500 to 500
foot depths. Westward the oil bear
ing sands are deeper, 2,400 to $500
feet in Chautauqua and Montgomery
counties; $500 to $500 feet in Rut-
Ter county and getting to about $500
and 1000 feet as the drillers go west
ward into Sumner county. AS the
strata UNDERLYING Kansas continue to
dip deeper the further west they go
in Kansas, oil possibilities in Hamil-
ton county must come from other
strata, the biologists believe.
To answer the Hamilton county
man and ell other Kansans. so far as
possible, Doctor Moore and other
members of the university faculty
have been working on a geological
survey of the entire state. All the in
formation of drilling and mining in
the eHliro Sldle has Dcen gathered as
far as possible. For instance, the sur
vey defines clearly as may be
very expensive and narrow granite
dome or ridge that streaks along I'M
der quite a few honest Kansas acres
This ridge runs from near Seneca
thru OnaFa, Wabaunsee, Eelso, Cot
tonwood Falls to near Burns and has
cost oil prospectors goodly sums.
The survey will be the most COM
prehensiVe ever undertaken in Kan
sas. 1t will cover about $50 pages
and will be free to residents of Kan
sas. 1t will be issued some time next
fall. Announcement will be made
