TAKE THEIR TIME In DYING
Almost Incredible Stories of Tenacity
With Which Snails Have Been
Known to Cling to Life.

Dying by inches is common enough
among the condemned in China. Swift
and sure is our own more merciful
method with criminals. But. strange
to say, there are animals which seem
to prefer lingering death.
Snails are slow, even when it comes
to dying, and one naturalist who had
mounted a shell upon q card was sur
prised to find four years later that the
warm water employed in soaking the
shell off the mount had revived the in
mate, which he had long supposed to
be dried and dead.
Several specimens in another colIec-
ton were revived in a similar manner
after they had lain in a drawer for
some fifteen years. These had not been
glued to a card, but had been left lying
loose, and, though frequently handled,
had shown no signs of life.
They were thrown into tepid water,
with the idea of cleaning the shells,
but to the surprise of the owner were
found creeping about the basin when
he returned to complete the task.

wood for Lead Pencils.

The eastern red cedar or juniper is
becoming so scarce and valuable that
the pencil manufacturers are turning
to the California incense cedar for a
source Of their supply. This incense
cedar resembles the eastern red cedar
more closely than any other wood. 1t
is somewhat lighter in color, however,
and a chemical process is being used
to stain the wood to resemble eastern
red cedar.

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DIR. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is a more powerful agent than
ithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out of the system.
