Uric oActd Poisoning |

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the system
is the cause Of rheumatism. that this uric
acid poison is present in the joints, mus
cles, or nerves. BY experimenting and
analysis at the Inyalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute in Buffalo, \. y, Or.
Pierce discovered a combination OF native
remedies that he called Anuric which
drives out the uric acid from the system,
and IN this way the pain, swelling and i'm
tiammation subside. II you ere 0 sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, pains here
or there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from tho pains
and ills brought about by uric acid on
send DIR. Pierce Zoe. fer trial pkg. AnuTi5
which you will find many times more
potent than lithia and eliminates uric
acid as hot water melts sugar. A short
trial will convince goa.
Anuric is regular insurance and life
saver for all big meat eaters and thos,
who deposit lime-saits in their joints.

YES! LIFT A CORN
. OFF WITHOUT PAIN /
Cincinnati authority tells how 60 dry
up corn or callus SO 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus. stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his Wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.

Road Bond Election.

The question of whether road
bonds to the amount of $3.50, 600
should be issued was submitted
to the voters Of this county last
tuesday, and while the returns
are not all in there is no doubt
the proposition carried by good
majority. In Winslow there was
comparative little interest mani
tested, as early in the day an
opinion was wired to the election
board that no woman was enti-
tied to a vote unles her name ap-
peared on the tax roll, which
practically disfranchised all the
women in this city. The board
followed the instructions of the
county attorney, nothWithstand-
ing the opinion of the attorney
general was given last year that
where the husband paid taxes on
community property the wife
was entitled to vote at a bond
election.
There was only about 125
votes cast in Winslow, and of
these about 30 were in favor of
the bonds. The east side of the
county will give a large majority
in favor of the bonds, as all the
money to be derived from their
sale is to be expended in that sec

Patriotism is the spirit that is
stirring the hearts of our citizens
in national way against an en-
emy.
Here is a proposition equally
important. Disease is an enemy
to tho home, and it can only be
crushed out by patriotism for
cleanliness to preserve health.
Ordinance No. makes it
misdemeanor to put trash of any
kind in alleys or streets, and
violation subjects the party to a
fine; but let US take a wider and
better view of the question and

Slow Recruiting.

1T is not surprising there has
been no mad rush of young men
to enlist in the service up to this
time, and it is possible for some
time to come there will be no
general movement prompting
enlistments. 1t is not because
our young men are not patriotic,
or lacking in military spirit, but
is due to the fact that they have
lived in such a peaceful age they
can hardly realize that a war is
confronting them at this time,
and they have not accepted the
situation seriously. They have
known of the war in Europe, and
know about the German Submar-
inc warfare on American vessels,
but it has not been brought for
chilly home to them that the
rights of their country have been
invaded, because the scene of
the activities are so far from
home. The martial spirit of our
people has been lulled to sleep,
and it is only slow in awakening.
Any overt act by Germany, as the
sinking of a warship in an en-
gagement, or an invasion from
Mexico under the leadership of
German officers, will fire the war
spirit of America in a minute,
and then the rally to the colors
will come as an avalanche, mil
lion men, yea, five millions, will
BE- found responding to the call to
arms. The apparent lack of zeal
may be little disheartening to
the government officials charged
with the duty of patting the
country on a war footing, but
they have the history of over a
century to assure them the peo-
pie have never failed the country
when the President has issued
his call for defenders Of the
nations flag and honor. This
present crisis will be no excep-
ton to the rule.
The Winslow mail., 1917-04-27
National Guard Recruiting.

Military service is a patriotic
duty that every citizen owes to
his state and country. In this
connection it is high time to
draw attention to the fact that
there is plenty of room for Ari-
zonians in Arizona's own regi-
ment, and there will be plenty of
service there. The regular
forces will not be able to offer
anything in the way of war ex-
perience that will not be enjoyed
by the First Arizona Infantry.
Those who desire to serve their
country can easily find out about
this by communicating with the
nearest National Guard recruit
ing station.
