Diet, Exercise or Death I!

IAN eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our city folks die Of a thick
ening Of the arteries or Of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take q
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar."

"The thing that wears tire

Ing another in its place.
My third lesson in auto driving
from r. G.. Field, Tacoma's lead
ing auto instructor, began with a
little inside dope into the work
ings of an automobile.
THE big majority of people run
their machines without an idea OF
what is going on on the inside,
said my worthy instructor, as we
sped out to the environs, where
no mere man might gaze upon my
embryo attempts at replacing an
auto tire.
First donned the funny one
piece sult-awfully uncouth ana
grimy it was, but rather nice
when there was so much climbing
around and under.
Then | got out all the tools that
| could find in the box and strewed
them all about me-real handy
like.
Now jack up your wheel" said
Mr.. Field, very lazily from his
seat in the car.
Once when | played cards | had
heard of jacks, but none OF the
tools lying there on the ground
looked like a jack.
Mr.. Field left his seat, picked
up one of the "tools,' placed II
under the wheel and started puff
fling and showing.

Byron HOuck.

st. Louis, Dec. 6.-When Pres. Phil
Ball, of the St. Louis Browns, drafted
Byron Houck, pitcher, for next sea-
son, there were smokers in some quar-
ters and many believed that Houck
had never a chance to make good in
the American league.
Those that scoffed had remembered
Houck when he was given tryout
with the Athletics some while back.
Connie Mack looked him over thor
oughly, decided he wouldn't do and
shipped him back to the minors Last
season Houck played with Portland
in the Pacific Coast league
After winning more than two-thirds
Of the forty games he pitched for
Portland last season Houck began to
feel that he was worth another chance
In fast company. When President Ball
was on the coast recently he heard so
much praise of Houck that he had no
doubt about the youngsters value as
q big league recruit. Ball believes
that Houck will win many games for
the Browns next season.
While with the Athletics Houck's
chief defect was q lack of control His
Wildness alone was enough to curse
his chances and Connie Mack didn't
take time to look at anything else he
had On the coast Houck has correct
ed his poor control and the arm that
seemed sore at times must be all
right now because Byron worked hard
enough all last season. He is still
young enough to go quite a few years
In fast company and he is big and
strong and always in the best shape.
