Rheumatism and Backache.
Send 10 cents with name of this paper,
to DR. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, for q large
sample package of Anuric. It will con-
vince anyone suffering from kidneys,
bladder, backache, that it is many times
more active than lithia, and dissolves
uric acid in the system as hot water
melts sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless, it preserves the kidneys in q
healthy state by thoroughly cleansing
them. Anuric sweeps from the blood
the uric acid which causes rheumatism,
govt, sciatica. Anuric is an insurance
agent against sudden death. Send to

Should misguided Maximalists conclude a
separate peace with the Hohenzollern regime, the
Allies will have to reckon with lat German divis-
ions released from the eastern front and with the
enormous economic resources OF Russia upon
which the Germans may draw.
The man power made available for operations
on the western front need not be feared very
much, for superiority of artillery on the side of
the Allies offsets this advantage The economic
power given Germany by peace treaty with
Russia is the factor that is most deplorable for it
will prolong the war.
Russia is rich country Seven-eighths of the
population are engaged in agricultural work.
Eighty-one percent of the people are peasants.
More than 68,000,000 acres are available for
agriculture. The American Review of Reviews
in recent issue divides the acres as follows:
Cereal crops, 257,00O,000 acres potatoes, II,
100000 acres; flax and hemp, 100000 acres
meadows, 100000 acres. The output of this
acreage yields imposing totals In 1913, reckoned
in pools Il pood=36 pounds) they were: cereals,
,636,OOO,00O pools; potatoes 2,191,000,O00
pools. sugar; 106,000000 pools; hay, 3,246, OOO,-
900 pools. Besides these major crops, Americans
would do well to note that Russia is also large
scale producer of cotton and tobacco. In 1914
the cotton acreage in Central Asia and the eau
casus was 100000 acres, yielding 1850, 900 500
pound bales, while in 1913 the tobacco acreage
was $4,000, yielding 100000 pools. AS might
be inferred from the size of the hay crop and the
extensive stock-ranges in the steppe-lands of the
Empire, Russia is also great producer of live
stock and dairy products. In 1914, Russia pos
sessed 35,000,0O0 horses, 100000 horned cat
tie, 100000 sheep and goats, and $1,000, 0OO
pigs.
Russia has unlimited deposits of coal and iron
The total. output of coal in 1912 was 1900, OOO,-
600 pools; pig iron, 256, 10000 pools; worked
iron and steel, 227, OOO,O 900 pools.
The agricultural and mineral deposits of Rus
STA would enable Germany to take new lease on
life. 1t would provide her soldiers and civilians
with food, and supply the Krupps with the mate
rails necessary for the manufacturing of man.
killing instruments.
But offsetting this advantage is the ire
mendous loss of men which Germany has sustain
ed in the three years of the war and the fact that
they cannot be replaced All of Russia's coal and
cereals will not increase Germany's man power
one iota.

Luck for Three Murphys.

Because they possess the name of Murphy, three students in search of an education are on their way to their ambition through the terms of the will of the late William S. Murphy, a Harvard alumnus, who left $100000 to the university, the income of which is to support scholarships for men of his name.
 AS there are no freshmen of that name entered this fall, three scholar ships were given instead to students in the graduate schools, only one of whom holds Harvard degree.
 The holders are Clifton Murphy of Georgetown, s. C.. frst-year student in the law school; William A. Murphy of Boston in his first year in the medical school, and Gardner Murphy of Boston, a student in the graduate school.

1t Is Held Under the Law It Requires Majority of All Electors Voting at Said Election Must Vote For Law
 Before 1t Could Be Certified.
Fort Smith,

The so-called stock law adopted by the 1913 Legislature and referred to the voters of Sebastian county at the recent general election, was not adopt ed, Judge Paul Little decided in the Circuit Court at Fort Smith. The board of election commissioners had certified the law had been adopted, on the grounds that it obtained major ity of the vote cast for it. Judge Lit tie upheld the contentious raised in suit filed by w. T. Quinley and Peter McMillan of Midland, who asserted it was necessary for the act to secure majority of all votes cast in the cleo ton.
 In the November election 2,824 votes were cast for and 2,172 against the law, a majority of 652 in it's favor, or a total of 4,996, compared with 5,687 cast for governor, which is accepted as the total number of qualified cleo tors participating in the election.
 In passing upon the case Judge Little found: Under the law it re- quires that majority of all the cleo tors voting at said election must vote for the stock law before same could be certified as having carried by the com missioners, and said stock law not hay ing received a majority of all the quail flied electors voting at such election, the said stock law failed to carry and was not legally adopted at such cleo
