What Is Uric eActd ?

Everyone has uric acid In the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat end foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
OF the blood, are supposed TO separate
and throw the poisons out OF the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail 10 do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood TO the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by a treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is n recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is more powerful agent than
lthia in dissolving uric acid, and 1t Is
then carried ont Of the system.

colony in China. This is the Portu-

1857 and has been held ever since by
that once great maritime nation. For
nearly three hundred years the Portu-
Suese paid ground rent to China for
the colony, and in 1887 the sovereignty
of Portugal was recognized by China.
But the extent of the territory has
never been settled, for China has al

buildings. Among the most imposing
of these Is the three-story house of All

II you say Macao to the ordinary
globe trotter or the sailor whose voy-
ages take him TO the Orient, the name
means chiefly n place where he can
gamble, for the city is one of the few
places where the goddess of chance
may still bewooed with the sanction of
the law Gambling licenses and opium
supply the greater part of the colony's
revenues, and such sign as "First-
Glass Gambling House" Is frequent on
the main street. Naturally, one re-
suit of this is that Macao swarms
with lawless characters from all parts
of the world and deeds of violence are
rather frequent.
The gambling dens are conducted by
.Chinamen, and fan-tan Is the game
usually played. 1t is apparently the
simplest of all games, and one at
which 1t should be impossible to cheat.

men with practised eye can tell
while there are still great heap OF

has probably a keener eye than any of
the Chinese gamblers, and hffs seen
before them what the count will be.

Much Untitled Land.

The department of agriculture esti-
mates that only q per cent of the till
able land Of continental United States
is actually under cultivation. Accord
ing to this estimate, 60 per cent of the
total area of continental United States,
or 1,14O,OOO,OOO acres, is tillable, or
capable of being brought under the
pillow. This includes large areas not
yet cleared, but sure to be In the fu-
ture. An additional 10 per cent of the
whole, or 361, 100000 acres, is consid-
cred valuable for grazing or for fruits,
though not for cropping. According to
the last census, in 1910, the land area
in crops was 100000 acres, about
q per cent of the tillable area, leaving
70 per cent still to be, brought under
cultivation. This does not suggest any
immediate danger Of food scarcity.

PROGRAM PLANNED LONG AGO
BELGIAN DEPORTATIONS WERE
DECIDED IN 1914.
Excuse of Justification Given by Teu,
ton Diplomats Declared False
Says Agent.

Washington, June 4.-In memo.
randum presented by Minister De Car
tier and made public by the State de
partment, the Belgian government as
serts that Germany's industrial strang.
ulation of occupied Belgian, Polish
and Lithuanian territory followed by
slavery of the conquered people, has
been carried on under a plan worked
out in cold blood during August, 1914,
by DR.. w. Rathenau of Berlin.
Answer to Teuton Claim.
This is in answer to Germany's
claim that the deportations of Belgians
for enforced labor was a military and
economic necessity. Moreover, reply
ing to the German statement that de-
portations have ceased, it is declared
that they continue without care for
the seeds of hate that are sown in
the hearts of the victims and those
near and dear to them, and which
threaten to render all social inter
course between two important por-
tons of the peoples of Europe.
