All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-,
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the body.
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 Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid
out. Scientific men have learned that in
govt, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles - y acre in
fammation is set up.
If we wish to keep our l.; ..;.rs in the
best condition diet Of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times day for
a month. An-u-ric is many times more
potent than litha and dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce, if you wish
to obtain trial package OF Anuric.

PEACE FARLEY BEGUN

Germans Play Trump Card and Elect
Won kuhImann, Foreign Sec.
Rotary as Chairman.

London, Dec. 25.-Peace negotia
lions between the Teutonic allies and
the Russians have begun at Brest-Lit-
ovsk, and apparently the enemy has
played a trump card at the outset, for
on the proposal of Prince Leopold Of
Bavaria, the German commander.in-
chief on the Russian front, DR.. Won
Kuehlmann, the German foreign secre-
tary, and an astute politician, has been
chosen unanimously as Official chair
man.
a noteworthy fact in the compost
ton of the delegations from the vari-
Gus countries allied with the Austro-
Germans is that they include mon who
have stood high in the councils of
their respective countries, while the
men who are to handle Russia's in
terests for the most part are unknown
in world politics.
Still another outstanding fact in the
meager details Of the formation of
the conference that thus far have
come through is that Roumania is not
credited with having sent delegates.
The possibility is, therefore, that Rou-
mania has decided to hold aloof from
discussing a separate peace, notwith-
standing the fact that geographically
she will be completely isolated
from her allies should the negotia-
tons result in Russia quitting the war.

The American Red Cross has on its

work, the organization must have at
once fifteen million members. 1t now
has five million on the rolls and is
campaigning to secure the ten million
additional members by Christmas eve.
Every man, woman and child in this
community ought to belong to the Red
Cross. Being a member doesn't mean
that one is expected to 60 to Europe,
carry wounded soldiers off the battle
fields aud nurse them in the hospitals.
1t doesn't mean that one need 60 to
the devastated areas of France, or Bel
.ium, or Poland, or Serbia, and give
personal care to the starving, freezing,
naked, homeless women and children
there.
But it does mean that those OF US
wao stay comfortably at home will do
as much as we can in every way to-
Back up the organization already at

1t does mean that the men among
us will contribute our bit to help our
brothers fighting the cause Of liberty
in Europe.
It does mean that the mothers
among us will knit and sew for the
wretched mothers of Europe and their
pitiful babies.
It does mean that our young womea
will show practical sympathy for the
young women along the western
front" and in Serbia who have suffered
unspeakable cruelties at the hands Of
bestial enemy soldiers.
It does mean that our children be
made to understand the curse upon
the children of Europe, and be taught
to make some sort Of sacrifice for the
cause of humanity.
It does mean that each of US will do
what he can individually to supply
plenty of comforts for our soldiers
fighting the enemy and necessities for
the wounded in hospitals.
