URGE DAYLIGHT SAVING
AS PREPAREDNESS MOVE

The value of the daylight saving bill,
now before Congress, is intensified in the
present perilous position Of the United
States. according to Dewitt Lothair
Burnside, of the National Daylight Saw
ing Association.
THE present international crisis" said
Mr. Burnside, emphasizes the need of
preparedness on our part. Hence, it
seems to me that Congress should re-
member that this extra hour of daylight
might well be used for military training
under a system of universal instruction.
'"This training would give thousands of
factory workers, clerks, and business
men valuable exercise. At the same time
they would learn something of value to
their country

Divorce Yourself
From Pain and
Kidney Disorder
(Dr. L. C. BABCoCK.)

Simple methods are usually the
most effective ones when treating
any disorder OF the human system
The mere drinking of cap OF hot
water each morning, plenty of pure
water all day, and little Anurlc
double strength) before every meal
has been found the most effective
means of overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
dcpressions, aches, pains, heav1ness,
drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
chilliness, rheumatic twlnges, swollen
joints, gout.
1t is such a simple matter to step
into your favorite drug store and OBJ
tain Anuric, which was first discover
ed by DR.. Pierce, of the Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo. Every druggist dis
penses it.
All people in America and espe-
cially those who are past middle age
are prone to cat too much meat and
in consequence deposit uric acid (ura-
tic salts) in their tissues and joints.
They often suffer from twinges of
rheumatism or lumbago, sometimes
from gout, swollen hands or feet.
Such people are not always able to
exercise sufficiently in the outdoor
air in order to sweat freely and ex-
crete impurities through the skin.
Anuric will overcome such conditions
as rheumatism, dropsical swellings,
cold extremities, scalding and burn
ing urine and sleeplessness due. to
constant need of getting out of bed
at night, by carrying off the uric acid
poison.-Adv.

CORSETS FOR COPS
ON PROGRAM NOW
Large Waist and Embonpoint Slated
for Discard.

How'd you like to see Mai Raymond
Pullman hitting the high spots along f
street attired in straight front? And
how do YOU suppose the rotund figure OF
Police Commissioner Louis Brownlow
would look slipped inside of perfect
IS" of the swayback type?
It may happen. at that! For the police
man OF fiction with the swayback line is
st being thrown into the discard in
favor of the more shapley modern day
guardian of the peace. Pittsburgh cop
pers and fire fighters too have declared
themselves In favor of the modern
straight jackets, and according to the best
obtainable information are wearing cor
sets daily despite the laughter of their
women relatives and friends.

No. s. legal light of the force, strapped
into one of the contrivances. and what
do you think Capt. Charles Peck, of No.

with a dainty pink set of the last word
In form fashion. Capt. Father of No. l.
probably would rave at the suggestion,
and Lieut.. Tony Schilling, out in Ana
costa, probably would need help in ''lac-
ing up"
Can't w. F. Falvey, out in the West
End, doesn't need any corsets. say the
knowing ones, but the other members OF
the staff might, on occasions. be induced
to try the contraptions.
Not a word is necessary as to the plain
clothes force. Every one of them VINO
needs a girdle knows it, and when the
order is issued will present himself prop
erly attired for the occasion.
The fire boys OF the local department
will wait to see how the affair works out
in the police department before taking
any action. They are not very enthusi-
astic. They can't see just how corset
will help them climb ladder.

corn, root and all, lifts out without

This drug is sticky, but dries at once
