THE NEW METHOD
(By L. W. Bower. NJ. d.

Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that the
kidneys are not working properly Poison
GUS matter and uric acid accumulate
within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys; hence the
congestion of blood causes backache in
the same manner as a similar congestion
in the head causes headache. You be-
come nervous, respondent. sick, feverish
irritable, have spots appearing before the
eyes, bags under the lids, and lack ambi-
ton to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble. is to eat spar
ingly of meat, drink plenty of water be-
tween meals and take a single An-u-ric
tablet before each meal for a while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Scientific Count Shows Perch 1912
Inches Long Contained 30,480--
More In Small Than Large.

Information concerning the number
Of eggs produced by various species Of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
According to the Allgemeine Fischl
erei-Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarian trout
hatchery. The first investigations were
in connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; 5S specimens Of tho
former and "a of the latter were
stripped, and the ova counted. Tho
older and heavier fish were found to
have the most eggs (ranging up to
about $4,000. but the younger fish
yielded a decidedly larger number OF
eggs in proportion to the weight OF
the fish.
The experiments were repeated with
perch fPerca fiuviatilis), IN this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovaries being removed
and dissected. The number Of eggs In
perch ranged from 3,710 for fish four
inches long up to 30.480 for one 1872
inches long; but in this species, also,
the number of eggs per unit weight
of fish is much larger in small than
in large fish.-Scientific American.

ALUMINIUM FOR WAR PURPOSE
Germany and Austria Use More Light
Weight Metal Than All Other
Nations Now in Conflict.

1t Is stated that Germany and Aus
tria use more aluminium for war pur-
poses than ALI the other belligerents
combined. 1t is known, in fact, that
Germany has for SOME years been col
lecting and storing the metal for war
uses, and the majority of the drinking
mugs, cans and cups of the German
soldiers are made Of the light metal.
The frames for Zeppelins and the fuses
for shells are also made from alumni
mum.
One Of the difficulties the Germans
have had to face is the shortage of
copper necessary for the rings round
shells. Many of the German shells are
now provided with aluminium rings.
Although aluminium has come to be
regarded as a substitute even in cart
ridges as well as shells and fuses, it
does not answer its purpose nearly as
well as copper The FreErh authOri-
ties experimental with it some years
ago for artillery purposes. but rejected
1t, says London Tit-Bits. The Germans
are using 1t in large quantities, how
ever, on account of the shortage of
copper.

Long Journey Of Package.

The wide wondering of a parcel was
described by a soldier now stationed
at Egypt. Writing to his mother, he
says: 81 received parcel last week
which I think was posted In South
Africa, somewhere about September,
1915. 1t had gone to the Hants' in
France, thence to four hospitals,
which sent it to Blighty and to two
hospitals there which forwarded 1t on
to the officer in charge of records,
Warwick. He in turn sent it to the
officer In charge records, Exeter, then
Ryde, and lastly to Egypt. Jolly lucky
to get it after ten months, don't you
thing so? 1t contained a good soft
shirt, a pair of socks, three khaki
handkerchiefs, boracic powder. The
address of the sender was obliterated
and the postmark a smudge."

matches in the box, and the foreman
