A mother was out doing Christmas
shopping, and with her was her four
year old boy. Leaving their automo-
bile, they passed along the busy street
and gazed into the well-illed shop
windows. At the display Of fancy ar
ticles in the dry-goods stores the child
beamed interestedly. At the array Of
toys in other windows his eyes fairly
danced.
Presently they came to a window In
which eggs and like commodities were
on view. AS the child's parents were
enthusiastic and consistent over the
prevalent egg-boycott, hen fruit had
been scarce in the household. The lit
tie lad jumped for joy at the sight
of the hen products.
"Oh, mother" he exclaimed excited

TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe gwen by a famous physician
for long life was: keep the kidneys in
good orderl Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much az possible; avoid too
much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise 80 you sweat the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms Of inlam-
nation, as backache, scalding water"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is n
wonderful eliminator OF uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Inyalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as not water does sugar.
