OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
 HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent the pick of our American youth. One in four of our boys at home was sick, re- jected because of physical deficiency. Many times the kidneys were to blame.
 If we wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if we want to increase our chances for long life, Dr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y., says that you should drink plenty of water daily between meals. Then procure at your nearest drug store Anuric (doubie strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric acid out and cures backache and rheuma- tiSm.
 If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and vege- tables. with only little meat once a day, is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water take Anurie three times day for month.
 Step into the drug store and ask for Anuric eco cents a package) or send pr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric, many times more potent than ltha, often elim- mates uric acid as hot water melts su- gar. A short trial will convince you.

CIGARETTRs.

OAUAAAE a lIos
From the Dover Index.
What is the sense OF a cigaretts
bill each session. No Legislature
takes such a bill seriously and it only
gives occasion for some one to do
some lobbying. Cigarettes are smok-
ed not only by boys, but by lots and
lots of men and some women.
It is too bad that boys are foolish
enough 10 smoke at all and most OF
such smoking, like other wrong
things done by boys, is largely due
to the failure Of parents to do their
duty The stern but Just parents OF
two generations ago had little trou-
BILE in dealing with such matters and
the parent Of today who seeks legis-
lation TO shield his boys from this
and that temptation Is simply shirk-
ing his duty.
Temptation IL not always a bad
thing Tor a boy, in fact II the parent
stands ready to do his duty and help
his boy overcome temptation, it is
the best school for the boy. The
strong, manly man Is pretty sure to
have been the boy who was not
shielded from temptations but was
aided to meet and overcome them.

Editorial Opinion
NET OPERATING
INCOME DECLINES.

The net operating income OF the
railways Of the United States for
November, 1915, according to the re-
port just issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, shows a de-
cline for the first time since Janu-
airy. 1915" says the Railway Age Ga
zette. This means that the increase
in operating expenses and taxes,
which has been going on for over
year, has at last caught up with the
increases in gross earnings. The rail-
way net operating income for Novem-
Der was s101.717.o 900. or sl41 mile.
as compared with s1Os, oos 900 in No
vember 1915. or s449 a mile. The
total operating revenues increased
by the same number OF dollars per
mile, from 1901 to 1894, so that the
net operating revenue, $500, was the
same as for November. 1915. Taxes,
however, increased from $50 and s61
per mile. which makes the decrease
in net operating income IS per mile.
The reduction Is brought about by
the railroads In the eastern districts,
which show a decline in net operat-
ing revenue from $500 to $3.50 mile,
due to an increase in expenses Of over
5000 per mile. Their taxes also in
creased from $40 to $97 a mile, so
that the net operating income Of the
eastern railways was only 1923. as
compared with 1921 in 1915. The
southern and western roads still show
greater increases in revenue than in
expenses.
For a considerable period after
| the increased volume OF trafic began"
the Railway Age Gazette says, "the
railways we're able to control their
operating expenses so that they did
not increase in proportion, but, on the
eastern roads in particular, where the
congestion OF traffic has been most
felt. the expenses have for some time
been increasing faster proportionate-
ly than the earnings. Tho increases
in net operating income which have
been shown since February 1, 1915,
were due for several months to a re-
duction in operating expenses greater
than tho decline IN gross earnings
which was still being shown in com
parison with 1914, and when the in
crease in earnings began about July
1875 the expenses still showed a
comparative decrease until about No
vember. The end OF the large In
creases in net which have caused 20
much comment during the past year,
was foreshadowed, however, by the
report for September, when with an
increase of 1875 per cent. in earnings
per mile the operating expenses In
creased 1873 per cent. In October the
increase in earnings was somewhat
less, 1O.8 per cent, while the increase
In expense was III per cent. The
increases in expenses are principally
in the department OF conducting trans
portation, although there have been
considerable increases in mantle
nance. Taxes have been showing
large increases throughout the year
