URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
tBy DR.. NJ. C. Lucas.)

1t was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Garrod, in ls4s, that the blood OF
equity patients contained uric acid in an
excessively large amount, that much at
tention was paid to this subject. Later
scientific men learned that in govt ialso
true in rheumatisml, the kidneys do not
work properly to throw off the uric acid
poison; consequently, uric acid crystals
are deposited in and about the joints,
where an Inflammation is set up in the
nearby tissues. When for any reason
the circulation is sluggish, as in the
joints of the toes, crystals formed from
uric acid are deposited there, and one
suffers from govt; or, when deposited in
the tissues, one suffers from muscular
rheumatism or articular rheumatism. My
only medicine to counteract the uric acid
and to throw it out of the system is tab
let's of Anuric double strength, three
times day.
The pain in the back, lumbago, pain
in the neck, creaky joints, stiffness in
muscles, have all been proven to be
caused by uric acid poison in the blood
and tissues. The kidneys soon become
diseased, then there often follows disease
in the muscles of the heart,
Kidney disease carries away large
of our people What is to be
done? What can the ordinary person do
to properly balance bodily health! The
answer is easy. Eat less meat, eat
coarse, plain food, with plenty OF yegeta
bles, drink plenty of water between
meals, and take an uric acid solvent be
fore meals for while, such as Anuric
double strength, obtained at almost |
any drug store. 1t was first discovered |
BY DR.. Pierce of the Surgical Institute

ENGLAND WILL
TAKE REVENGE
Formal Announcement of
Intention Is Made in
Parliament
WILL lombard
GERMAN TOWNS
AS Far as Airplanes Can Be
Released from Mill
tary Needs

London, Oct l7,--Formal announce
ment that England intends to make re
prisal in kind for the German air raid
over unfortifed British towns was mad'
in the House of Commons yesterday aft
ernoon by Chancellor of the Exchequel
Bonar Law.
He stated that it was the government
intention to make air raids and lombard
German towns, las far as the military
needs will release the necessary ma
chimes"
The agitation demanding that Britain
undertake reprisals for German air raids
grew to a national movement late IN
September when during eight days there
were five raids over and about London.
The public's insistence that the govern
ment adopt an EYE for an eye and tooth
for tooth" policy became so formidable
that open threats were made that the
Lloyd George ministry would fall if a
reprisal program were not adopted.
Lord Northcliffe's newspapers led in
the agitation, pointing out that the Ger
mans no longer dared to raid Paris, be
ing aware that French planes would re-
turn threefold retaliation on German
towns.
Announcement that the government
was planning reprisals has not hereto
fore been formally made, but leaders.
have privately acknowledged that the
reprisal policy had been fully determined
upon and the recent reorganization of
the British aviation service gave the pub
lie an intimation that cooperative
scheme of this sort had been formulated
Heretofore the government has main
tanned that one of the reasons for the
German raids was the German hope that
England would divert great number of
planes from the front, to do patrol duty
at home, thus permitting the Germans
in France to regain something like an
equality with the allies in the air at the
battleline.

MARKET GROWING
SHORT ON COAST
FOOD SUPPLIES

Lack of shipping facilities is great
ly hindering the supply OF perishahle
foodstuffs in Honolulu, according to
comments on the food situation by
number of prominent retail and whole
sale merchants. Shipments Of perish
able foods are expected in by the end
OF this week and this will tend to re-
lieve the serious situation. There Is
just sufficient supply on hand to fur
nish the consumer with such articles
as eggs, cheese, butter, etc. until boats
arrive from the coast early next week.
Island staples remain unchanged in
price, and while there is a shortage
in many foodstuffs, such articles as
bananas. Maui beans and eggs are
plentiful. the banana market is over
loaded. and plantations report that
their crops are rotting in the fields,
there is such large supply on hand
which cannot apparently be disposed

that they are unable to get rid Of the
fruit fast enough to prevent it from
spelling on their hands The fruit is

qualities.
Shipments of Maui beans are COM
ing into the local markets in large
quantities, and are selling on the
average of from 9 to 12h cents a
pound. The Territorial Market has
1870 bags now on the wharfs, waiting
disposition. While the market for
this foodstuff is not overloaded, there
is plentiful supply pouring into
Honolulu by every Inter-Island boat.
Irish potatoes from Kauai are
higher in price, selling for $3.50 for
100 pounds. A planter on the Garden
Island notified a local merchant that
he could get q bigger price for his
potatoes by selling them on Kauai
He wrote that he sold them there for
$3.50 per 100 pounds and would not
ship them to Honolulu unless he could
get that price for them here.
Island beef is scarce, although there
is a large shipment of frozen Cali
fornia beef on the local market.
Ranchers are apparently holding out
on the local dealers for higher prices,
as they can keep a steer for three
years before it is ready for market
Indications point to the fact that the
ranchers are holding the beef until a
higher market is secured.

SUGARLESS AND INEXPENSIVEFRU
CAKES MAY Be MADE FOR HOLIDAYS

Fruit cake can be patriotic cake.
But fruit cake is expensive" says
the prudent housewife. That's just
the point. To be patriotic cake need
not be expensive. but If she chooses
an expensive recipe it can still be in
line with national food needs. These
recipes omit sugar, thereby releasing
an important food of which both
America and the Allies are in serious
need.

tin, alternating layers of fruit with

Keep in closed cake box and slice as
needed. Serve in small slices with Q

This can be varied in many ways.

CAUSES FOR WASTE
IN THE KITCHEN

An interesting and complete analy-
sis of the food waste problem has
been made by Lucius P Brown of the
bureau of food and drugs, New York
City. His chart follows food from the
farm to the kitchen. Below are some
of the causes of waste cited by Mr.
Brown, that will interest the individ
ual citizen.
Kitchen waste comes from:
I. Unbalanced ration.
2, Letting good food 60 into the
garbage pals and sinks.
3. Poor facilities for and jgnor-
ance in handling food.
4. Poor cooking
5. Too much variety in dishes.
6. Influence of custom.
{. High retail delivery cost
8. Unnecessary credits.
9. Failure to buy home-packed
goods of equal quality.
All of these causes do not neces-
sarily apply to any one family but the
list is a means by which housekeep-
ers may widen their conservation eff

EAT PLENTY OF POTATOES.

"Now that the country's bumper po-
tato crop is flowing into markets in
an ever-increasing stream the wise
housewife will take advantage of this
cheap source of starchy food and will
give the tubers very important
place on the dinner table," say home
economics specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
1t is well known that potatoes are a
nutritious and healthful food, of which
one may eat freely without ill effects.

AS a matter of fact, say the depart.
ment specialists, there is something
more which can be said for the potato
for the liberal consumption of them
helps to supply the body with alkaline
salts which it needs for normal health.
Eat more potatoes, for breakfast,
lunch, dinner or supper, therefore,
while they are abundant, say the spe-
cialists, to the advantage of both your
health and your pocketbook.
Every cellar of vegetables is a
trench Of food preparedness.
