What Is Uric oAcid?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. E1-
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 Cay. 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
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and 1t IS
then carried out of the system.

INSURANCE FOR SOLDIERS

Ihere ls now every probability that
the plan of the government TO provide
insurance for soldiers will be adopt
ed by congress at an early date and
that following the war there will not
be the pension scandals that char
acterized the years following the
Civil war.
However, the scandal part or the
avoiding of scandals is not what the
people are so much interested in as
they are in providing for soldiers and
their dependauts. Immediately fol-
lowing the Civil war as for many
years thereafter there were many
thousands of union soldiers who
drew no pensions, who never made
application for them though they
were Justly entitled TO do sc because
they regarded the pension as a sort of
charity IL was no charity, was only
what the men who served through
that war We're entitled to-; but many
OF them in actual need never bene-
fitted by it because they could not
bring themselves to become the sub
jects OF a near charity, while many
not entitled to such benefits in all
probability profited through pull"
of one sort or another.
Ih9ngh insurance is provided for
the soldiers many of them probably
will not benefit as they should while
others not entitled to any benefit VIII
be benefited and ii is not beyond the
reach of reason that there will be
scandals. too, for there are dishonest
men today as in other days and some
of them VIII creep into responsible
positions and do the things they
should not do.
The prime thing to keep in mind in
connection with this insurance is that
it is 70 be operated along the line of
some of the great privately manag ed
Insurance. organizations Of the coun-
try. their experiences being available
to the government.
Another thing in connection with
the insurance idea is that the soldiers
will be entitled to the insurance
money in event of injury or disability
and their dependants entitled to it in
event OF the death of the insured, en-
