q ANURICl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery OF Doctor
ierce, who is head OF the Invalids'
Iotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital Tor several years proved that
there is no other c'lminator OF uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or II uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it Ia
simply wonderful how surely wAnurc
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
SO frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package OF
cAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or send 70 cents to DR.. Pierce for q
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him q
sample of your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Plerce's chemist
will examine it, then DR.. Pierce will
report to you, without fee or charge.
NOTE: - French scientists affirm that
cAnuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box - or
more in extreme cases - as "Anuric "
thanks to Doctor pierce's achievement)
is by far the tnast perfect kidney and
bladder correetor obtainable.

Asiago plateau. There they were like
trial between the Piave and the Bren-

this supreme effort not only Konrad>s
and Krobutin IS armies but divisions
from the armies of both Krauss and
Belo.
In the center of this third battle

iof the italian left wing A victory for
1.-the foe here would have meant retreat
to the Adige-opening to German spo-
liation the Venetian plains, with the
rich cities of Venice, Padua, Vicenza
and Treviso.
Grappa S Importance thus equalled
that of Verdun.
Carrying the parallel, Mounts Per
,tica, Solarola, Spinoncia, Pallone, Mon
fereta and Tomba constituted the ad-
vanced defenses of the Mountain-just
as Forts Douamont, Vaux, Thiaumont,
Froide- Terre and others of Verdun 8
advanced defenses constituted the out
er chain of the French citadel.
Against Grappa s outer ring the
Germans launched the cream of the
mountain fighting troops-just as the
crown prince threw his Prussians
against Douamont and the Others az
Verdun. At Grappa the famous German
Alpen Korps, the Austrian imperial
ssharpshooters, German chasseurs and
the Austrian Edelweiss divisions were
hurled to the assault.
The Italians fought like fiends.
Prisoners today declare the resistance
often wiped out half of the attackers
effectiveness. That was almost the ra-
ito at erdun.
Like Verdun also, the defenders he
roic resistance permitted time for al
lied reinforeements to complete their

of the enemy move allowed French ana
lpritish armies to get into line, in per-
feet organization, without hurry.
They are now there. The Piave line
now seems impossible.

DISPUTE SETTLED
CONTRACT SIGNED
After Eight Weeks NegOtia-
lions United Press Oper-
atOrs Sign New Contract

New York, Dec. 4. = After eight
weeks negotiations which had resulted
in complete deadlock with strike
on January l as threatened outcome,
the management of the United Press
and committee representing the Unit
ed Press telegraphers union, today
signed a new contract embodying an
increase of more than $4,000 above
the present operators scale.
The contract as finally signed was
the result of federal mediation brought
about by Rowland B. Mahany, com
missioner of coneiliation of the United
States department of labor, who had
been called in in an effort to break the
deadlock. Late last night, when a break
seemed inevitable, Commissioner Ma
hany dictated the final draft of an
agreement which he submitted to both
sides with an announcement that the
would be brought to bear on either or
both sides if necessary to insure the
adoption of the proposal.
The new contract establishes $50
minimum wage in the smaller cities,
as against $24.25, the present scale;
fixes a differential for the larger cit
ies, increases the salary of bureau op-
orators $S a week above the present
contract scale and sending operators
in the big relay bureaus $3.50 per weeR
above the present scale for eight hours
work.
An eight hour day, including thirty
minutes for lunch, is established and d
two weeks vacation with pay is al
lowed all men of more than one year s
service Other substantial increases III
the matter of overtime and inciden
tails are included in the new wage agree
ment,
