Sir--I am sixty years of age, forty years
an American, and proud of being a citizen

read in the Wednesday EVENING
LEDGER that Il. F. Swift chairman of the

statement makes for bad feelings. Why
should the foreigners sneer at the boys?
We do not want foreigners in the navy
nor in the aymy at peace times. Why then
should we force them now when the war
is on? In my opinion they should have a
chance to volunteer II necessary. l leave

Dear Sir-Answering your letter of
the 18th inst. you will never learn to

spirit Of the Golden Rule.

that "the things that are seen are tenn
poral and never will be otherwise.
They are so because the producing and
controlling cause is temporal. yerv

Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or 80 years
of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degenerated, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long Life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty OF pure
water all day long, and occasionally tax
ing a little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
You will find Anuric more potent than
ithia for it dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.
