Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0meS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do q tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisoni
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex'
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick.
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid.

DwindIinq Wool Supply.

War and embargoes are making tex
tile men uneasy as to the wool sup
ply. World demand is increasing
while the supply is growing less. Our
own needs are twice what we raise
and the chasm between domestic sup
ply and demand is widening. Our pro-
duction is less today than 25 years
ago, while the population has in
creased 60 per cent. The difference
between what we produce and what
we use must be made up by imports,
with the world bidding against us.
The British embargo on wool shows
how precarious is our position. Yet,
in peace and in war, wool is an abso-
lutte necessity. Several years ago when
alarm was taken at the declining beef
supply many felt that the situation
could not be remedied. But today cat
tie are increasing in the United States.
More sheep and wool can be raised al
SO If proper attention be given the
industry.

Diet, Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our city folks die of thick
ening Of tho arteries or Of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from tho blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
1.-THE very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
Of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water, frequently. Before meals take a
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains IN back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo,
N. T., discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric. more potent than lithia, dissolyes
mic acid as hot water does sugar."

Wages Go Up In Japan.

Thanks to the general business ac-

Japan are now unusually prosperous

To quote an example, hatoba coolies
in Yokohama are now getting so yen
per month, while waste paper buyers
are making as much as $50 yen day.
Sake shops near the foreign and ma

No woman, no matter how careful
her selection of flour, sugar, eggs, etc. can
employ the limit of baking economy if she uses a poorly
made, wasteful baking powder.
Merit, not money, is the only safe
basis upon which to estimate the worth of a
baking powder. Fortunately the housewife no longer has to
conduct costly experiments OF her own to determine just which
particular brand is the most efficient and economical. Experts
like myself make a business Of testing baking powders and
