work properly to throw off the uric acid poison;
consequently uric acid crystals deposited in and

Hague has said that " govt is rheumatism, and
rheumatism is govt" If uric acid is formed in excess
within the body it is passed the kidneys, which
filter to pass off this poison If the excess is
excreted by the kidneys it is distributed thru the
tissues The choice sites for such storage in the
joints muscle sheaths where the circulation is weak

Consequently must do everything throw off this
uric acid poison and simple methods best. Flush
the kidneys by drinking six eight glasses of
between meals. During winter months the circulation
is apt to be sluggish and the blood stream retarded
Eat less meat, drink water and take ANURIC
(double triple strength) after each meal and at
bed time for several weeks time and you will be
free from uric acid and the diseases that follow.
The urine is often cloudy, full OF sediment;
channels often get and sleep is disturbed two
three times night. This is the time you should
consult physician of wide experience such as
Doctor Pierce of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical

PEACE IS COMING.

late dispatch from Rome says: Germany has assured her moral adherence to the peace proposals put forward by the Ponti6."
 According to this. following the common fo port that the Allies would reject the pfof'osais, we are tempted to infer that the Pope's proposals were dictated by the Kaiser himself. and that in order to show his anxiety for peace. he rushes the announcement that he is ready to comply with the proposals. Which is one way of set- ting round delicate position such as the Kaiser finds himself into now.
 Attacked from every side by nations seek ing his complete downfall together with pressure brought down to bear on him by the Catholic, Socialist and Liberal German parties. must of necessity force him to see his madness to eohtin- ue the war; He must know that he cannot win. From that it was clearly up to him to have dis interested party bait his enemies with peace proposal such as would open the door to discus sion He evidently figured that the allied nations would refuse to even talk peace under the terms proposed by the Pope. thus leaving him come back which will be to ask the allied nations to state their terms. Meanwhile give all chance for reflection and survey of the ravages accom- plished that is bound to lead to 6 sober thought which is all that is needed.
 Germany was mad with ambition and plug ed the world into this war only to increase that madness by being defeated in her attempt to reach her goal Sobered up, she is ready to stop and think, which means peace ahead. And. at any price at that Just wait and see.

THINK OF IT.

It is a we'll known fact that foreigners in this country are subject to all our laws except conscripton. Of course an unnaturalized per son could volunteer and serve the country in time of war. However it has been discovered in the Eastern states that very few of the friend ly foreigners have thus far shown disposition to take up arms. On the contrary they have taken advantage of their position to claim ex- emption.
 Recently. congress took this matter up and found that nearly every country had made treat ieS with our government exempting their citi- zens from military duty. Now that men are needed. these treaties are in the way.
 These treaties impose at this time both limitation on the power of our laws and glar- ing unfairneSs. in that they give an unnaturaliz- ed person living in the United States an advan- tage over citizen. Such persons can claim eX- emption from military duty. enjoy all our gener- osity and protection of our laws while citizen leaves his position to fight in order to make this country safe for those who are not patriotic enough to become citizens. We say, abrogate the treaties exempting foreigners from military duty draft every one or let them leave the coun- try.
 II would seem that foreigners of neutral nations. such as the Holanders. the Scandinav- ians the Swiss and the Spaniards, whose coun- try would be swallowed up in a short time by Germany should she care to undertake the job, would be the first to volunteer to fight, because only with the downfall of Germany can their country be safe. But they don't apparently according 10 reports from the East.
 To remedy this. congress must pass a law making every man in the country do his share. Just as soon as congress acts along that line, we shall see every foreigner leave the country or be- come citizen, thereby subjcting himself to the draft Which would only be fair.

GO FISHING

The law which prevented fishing
until later in the season, has been
changed so that people of Wisconsin
can supply their tables with fish. The
lew is as follows:
A bill relating to the open season
for fishing.
Whereas, To alleviate conditions due
to the scarcity of and high prices for
food stuffs, it is deemed eXpedient and
advisable that the right to take of
the abundant supply of fish held by
the state of Wisconsin in trust for
the people be granted to the people
earlier than now prescribed by law;
therefore
The people of the state of Wiscon-
sin, represented in senate and assem-
bly,, do enact as follows:
Section /. In addition to the open
season now provided by law, any per-
son, who is a resident of this state
may catch fish, excepting large and
small mouth black bass, from any
of the waters of this state by means
of hook and line from May 1, 1917, to
May 30, 1917, both inclusive, subject
to the following restrictions:
% The quantity of fish permitted
to be so taken under the provisions
of this act shall not exceed in any one
day ten pound round, except that two
fish of any weight may be so taken;
(2) No fish taken under the provi-
sions of this act shall be shipped,
sold, or caused to be shipped, sold or
bartered.

WAUSAU SULPHATE AND FIBRE
COMPANY

The Wausau Sulphate and Fibre
company is doing things at Mosinee
without making any great ''holler"
about it. The company is erecting a
large addition to the paper mill at a
cost of $40O 900. This will add great
ly to the capacity of the mill. The
company is also building a large hotel
on the east bank of the Wisconsin
river, where the old Fall City hotel
used to stand. In 1852 this site was
selected for a hotel by VIM G. Blair,
who was wounded in the civil war and
died in Chattanooga, Tenn, in 1861.
Mrs. Cornelia Blair operated the hotel
until she passed away in 1881. The
hotel was one of the most popular on
the river before the advent of the rail-
roads. The old hotel was destroyed
a year or two ago and that another
hotel will take its place soon, speaks
well of the judgment of those who
selected the spot in 1852. 1t is at the
head of Little Bulls falls and has
fine view of the river and surrounding
country. The new hotel is now nearly

COUNTY SANATORIUM

The county sanatorium for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis had many visi-
tors on Sunday afternoon between the
hours of three and five O'Clock, the
hours when all are privileged to visit
the sanatorium each day in the week.
Mrs. Stephenson, the head nurse in
charge, took much delight in showing
the visitors through the beautiful
building.
There are now twelve patients in the
sanatorium and more are expected
soon. With the exception of some of
the furniture, everything is now COM
plete. The grounds have been laid out
and grass planted, and all that is need
ed is warm weather and rain to make
transformation that will be very
pleasing. The walk to the depot in
front of the Sanatorium, and the broad,
artistic concrete steps which form a
part of it, is complete, as we'll as the
walk south to Rib river. In about
six weeks, when the grass is up and
the flowers are in bloom, the sanatori-
um surroundings will be very hand
some, and worth going out to see.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE

One of the best entertainments
given in Wausau for long time was
the illustrated lecture on the the Yel-
lOwstone National Park, North Pacific
Coast and Alaska, by Charles Norton
Hunt, at the Masonic Temple on Tues
day evening. He was also accom-
panied by H. " Wilmot, district pas
senger agent of the Northern Pacific
Z. R. The entertainment was given
under the auspices of Forest Lodge,
No. 130, F. and A. NJ, and the large
lodge room was filled to its capacity.
The moving pictures of the park and
the stereopticon views were the best
that had ever been shown of the park
and were greatly appreciated.
The slides were from actual photo
graphs and beautifully colored by ar
fists who specialize in Yellowstone
National park and Alaskan photogra-
ply.
The moving picture films covered
the park in both summer and winter
and show wild animal life in a most in
teresting manner.
Mr. Hunt is very entertaining lee
lures and knows as much about his
subjects as any man in America.

ARB0R AND BIRD DAY

Last Friday was Arbor and Bird day
IN our state. In Wausau not much in
terest was taken, excepting, perhaps
in our schools. The agitation OF
planting trees should not be allowed
to lag. Ten years ago or more, our
cemetery was a barren waste Thou
sands Of small trees were planted
close together; only about five per
cent died and now the grounds are a
perfect beauty spot, made so by the ell
egant long lived trees 1t was worth
the while to plant trees.
If at every arbor day, thousands of
trees were planted in barren places,
about the city, what a beauty spot
Wausau would be in ten years and
from that time forever afterwards.
1t is worth the while to observe Ar
Dor day.
And the birds! We want them with
us. We want beautiful bird houses
put up in every yard, and most of all,
the young should be taught not to mo-
lest the birds.
Arbor and Bird day, when rightly
observed, are very important to the
happiness of every one of us.

COLD AND FROSTY

The weather history of the past
week has been sunshiny but cold, SO
that there has been a heavy frost every
night. So there is nothing growing.
Gardens and produce, generally, are
back a couple of weeks. There is this
about it: When garden vegetables
and produce, generally, commence to
grow. we will be in the mo frost
time of summer. The same can be
said of fruits and berries: There will
be no fruit or berry blossoms until
about June 1st or later from present
indications. Our farmers seem to
think that the oat crop this year will
be failure, because of the lateness OF
the season. Seed which has been
planted is just laying in the ground
and rotting.
