"The kidneys play q most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poi5ons
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes dccay'-so says a distinguished
physician. who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the Vitality
of the kidneys and free the blood from
poisonous elements, such as U-.c acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anurlc before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dIssolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar
Discovered by DR.. Pierce OF Buffalo, y. I
Prevent premature old age by simply
sipping a cup OF hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking a little AnurlC
before meals and live TO be q hundred.

May Be Cancelled

Salem Journal: State Treasurer
Kay, at the regular meeting Of the
state board of control yesterday af-
ternoon. declared that in his opinion
the road bonds provided for in the
Bean-Barrett bill, which provides for
the issuance Of bonds for $1,S19,28O
to meet the conditions Of the Shack
elford bill passed by congress for the
improvement of rural post roads, can
not be issued on account of the pass
age of the $6,OO0,OO0 bonding bill.
He says that whatever money is
required for meeting the provisions
of the Shackelford bill must be taken
from the $6,OOO,OOO bond money or
from the millage highway tax. The
matter was brought up at this time
before the board of control on re-
quest of the highway commission be-
cause the board Of control has charge
of the money for the rural post
roads.

L. "A. FOSTER, 1902 E. 8th St., W.
When a girl becomes woman, when
O woman becomes a mother, when q
woman passes through the changes of
middle life, are the three periods of
life when health and strength are most
needed to withstand the pain and dis"
tress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use OF Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, an old
remedy of proved worth that keeps
Che entire female system perfectly
regulated and in excellent condition.
Mothers, if your daughters are weak,
lack ambition, are troubled with head
aches, lasstude, and are pale and sick
ly, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
Just what they need to surely bring
the bloom of health to their cheeks
and make them strong and healthy.
For all diseases peculiar to women,
Or. Pierces Favorite Prescription is @
powerful restorative. During the last
50 years it has banished from the
lives Of tens of thousands of women
the pain, worry, misery and distress
caused by irregularities and diseases
OF feminine character.

We then went out and found real
thin man to eat lunch with.
This changeable weather kind Of
gets our goat. Just when you decide
that there is going to be frost and
go out and cover up all the tomato
plants with sacks and pieces Of rag
carpet, dug up out of the recesses of
the attic (sure they have recesses in
attics, same as they do in schools,
only the children play in the recesses
at schools, while mice are all that
play in recesses in attics), the south
wind starts blowing and 1t gets so
warm that q. F. Smiths straw hat is
really proper.
We are going to get job in the
ice plant If this keeps up. An ice
plant is affected by frosts, but not in
the same way that tomato plant is.
We had an experience this after
noon that has opened an unlimited
field of possibilities. We met fair
young stranger ON the street and lift
ed our hat with a welcome to our
city" air, only to receive a cold stare
that chilled us so that we had to drop
into Greiye's and borrow an overcoat
that Voley Meyers left in there at
the end of the last cold spell (also at
the end of the coat rack). If the sup
ply Of naughty feminines holds out
we may be able to last through the
summer yet.
Anyhow, we envy the people that
can catch cold in such weather as
this. If we knew where there was
any cold right handy We would catch
it too.

gress. President Wilson declares:
"a large, we'll organized and eff
cient Red Cross is essential. 1t is
both a patriotic and humane service
that is rendered by every citizen who
becomes o member of the American
Red Cross"
Red Cross subscriptions need not
be paid all at one time. One-fourth
will be due July 1, one-fourth August
4, one-fourth September 1, and the
balance October l..
A task as great as that Of getting
the subscriptions is to inform every
man, woman and child Of the pur-
poses and emergency character of the
campaign before Red Cross week, as
proclaimed by the president, which
begins June 1S. Community commit
tees are urged to have forceful
speaker at every gathering whether
small or large. Newspapers are
called on for liberal space. Minis
ters are asked to present the subject
to their congregations. Let every
patriotic citizen speak of the cam
paign to every other person he or she
meets.
In this world war some must give
their lives, others their money. No
patriot at home could bear to think
that a patriot bled to death on the
battlefield because he or she failed to
contribute his dollar to the Red
Cross. You have no right to say you
are patriotic unless you give your ut
most in service, no matter what 1t
may involve in personal sacrifice.
