bition. But take no nasty, danger
GUS calomel, because It makes you

dynamite, breaking it up. That's

Cramping.

New Master EXPLOSIVE.

"Silver picric acetylide," a new ex-
plosive discovered by Rev. DR.. julius
A. Nieuwland, G. S., dean of science at
Notre Dame university, Indiana, will
prove more destructive, it is said, than
any other agent known to the scien-
tlfic world If the experiments now be-
ing conducted in the local laboratory
indicate it's actual power.
Doctor Nleuwland first came upon

Diet, Exercise or Death !!

An eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our city folks die Of 9 thick
ening Of the arteries or Of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
Of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water. frequently. Before meals take q
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo,
N. ", discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than hthia, dissolyes
uric acid as hot water does sugar."

HAVE BANK ACCOUNTS.

"It's great!' said the longshoreman
Of Seattle, speaking Of prohibition. Il
know a lot Of longshoremen that used
to spend every cent they could get hold
Of in the saloons and that now have
$500 or $500 In the bank" Mr.. James
A. Duncan, secretary Of the Central La
Dor council in that city, bears out this
testimony. st is indeed encouraging"
he says, ito see men Of such crafts as
the longshoremen, who were content
but a short time ago to walk around
during their leisure in oyeralls, now
dressed in such manner as would do
credit to bankers"

BOYS PROHIBITION SPEECH.

The saloon question was the subject
of a debate before Pennsylvania club
Of boys. One young fellow was on the
side opposed to the saloon. He was
the youngest and smallest boy on either
team and was not accustomed to de-
bate. When he arose to speak, he had
a bad case of stage fright and forgot
what he had prepared. The boys IA
Their was a drunkard and the little fell
low won the debate by simply saying:
eff any Of you do not believe the
saloon is an evil, just look at our
home. No one can deny what it has
done for u.s."

DRINKERS AND rEEToTALERs.

The military hospitals are realizing
the difference between them, and doc
tors and nurses are commenting upon
It. The constant drinker inspires
dread, for the merely superficial wound
often becomes septic and complications
ensue, protracted illness and imperfect
recovery. Much more serious wounds
In the abstainers are easily and speed
lily treated, complications of septic or
igin are generally avoided, and quick
recoveries are the rule.-British Tenn
