DIR. EAVES WRITES
 ABOUT THE MINERS

To the Editor of The Herald:
 Will you permit me to point out an unintentional inaccuracy of impression made in your report of the proceed ings of the mine workers gathering yesterday? I was honored by being made the voice of the church leading that assembly in its initial prayers.
 Believe me, I did not prejudge the

My good friends at the press taDis would I am sure, be the last inten- tionally to ignore the main burden of our prayers.
 As a reasonably intelligent and req sonably' reverent soul, I did pray with the amens of the delegates re- sounding, that the spirit of God, the

END OF AN ARMED ROBBER
Condemned Men in China, on Way to
Execution, Are Permitted to Stop
at All Wine Shops.

One of the first sights which It was
my lot to gaze upon since coming here
was a public exhibition of a man con-
victed Of robbery under arms being led
forth to execution, correspondent Of
the North China Daily News writes
from Pakow. We were inside the house
when we heard the sound of the yard
long trumpets in the street and going
to the door beheld a procession pass
ing arrayed in the glory of old China,
with IT'S triangular shaped flags and
honorific sign-boards, together with n
touch here and there of Western
ideas
There were probably 200 soldiers in
the parade and they carried modern
rifles and, minus the cue, looked pass
able II rather slovenly in their car
riage. Some officers rode horses and
were clad in semiforeign garments.
Our attention, however, was p1rticu-
larry directed to the man who was to
die, who was coming along at the end
OF the line. His cart, the ordinary long
goods cart, had stopped for minute
or two before 1t came to where was
standing and on inquiry / found that 1t
had paused in front of a wine shop.
1T being the custom here that the CON
Yict should stop at any or all the wine
shops en- route to the execution ground
and drink all he wanted free Of charge.
BY the time the man In his cart passed
me he appeared to be indeed drunk
and was muttering incoherently as a
man will when he is pretty deep in his
cups. He looked like any other sim
pie countryman and one could not but
pity him in view of the fact that he
was soon to be thrust unprepared Into
the presence of the Eternal Judge.
The execution ground was the river
side and just outside the town, and the
business which took the crowd there
was soon dispatched, for although did
not go to see the spectacle / heard the
trumpets announcing the return of the
troops about 20 minutes afterwnrd.
/ am told by one who knows that the
body is not buried, but dragged into
the shade OF a small clump Of trees
near by and vultures and dogs soon

French efforts, however desperate,
could have prevailed against the Ger
man military effort plus successful
blockade.
The British, without controlling
navy, could not have entered the wsr.
Italy and Roumania would not have
entered. The United States could not
have entered it. We could not have
helped the entente with money, supplies
or men. Whatever consequences might
have been in store for US as the result
of a German victory we could have
done nothing but sit and wait for them.
The enemies of Germany would have
been powerless without the British
navy. Germany would have had tbs

WHY AMERICA IS AT WAR.

We are at war today not because the
Crown Prince of Austria was killed in
Servia. but because the German army
protected It's advance with noncom-
batants men, women and children.
We are at war today not because
German submarines sunk battleships,
but because they have sunk and are
sinking peaceful vessels, little fishing
boats, when the fishermen are laboring
to get scant livelihood, and great
passenger ships carrying noncombatants
men, women and children.
We are at war because of those citi-
zens of conquered Belgium who died
protecting their women.
We are at war because of the Ger
man order Of August "a. 1917 for
frightfulness,
We are at war against the conviction,
in German minds, that might is right,
that the end justihes any means, no
matter now brutal

saved the entente. 1t has been the
factor which saved the world from Ger

reduction will be due to the British

URIC ACID
AN ENEMY I'm AMBUSH
CBy DR. NJ. C. LUcAs.)

It was not until tAe discovery by Sir
Arthur Garrod. in 1s4S that the blood
OF equity patients contained uric acid
in an excessively large amount. that
much attention wasf.aid to this sub
1ect Later scienttft men learned that
In govt (slso true ia rheumatism,) 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 slug

tails formed from uric acid are deposited
there. and one suffers from govt; or.
when deposited in the tissues. one suf-
fers from muscular rheumatism or

cine TO counteract the uric acid and to
throw II out of the system is tablets OF
Anuric double strength three times a

The pain in the back. lumbago. pain
