Diet, Exercise or Death !!

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die OF thick
ening OF the arteries or of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once a day, or not at all. Plenty
Of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take a
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
tralizer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains in back, try this wonderful enemy
20 uric acid, which DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar."

Learning to sleep well Is learning

TITS A GOOD BILL.

No more meritorious measure has
been proposed in the legislature now
in session than that of George w. Cof-
fin of Morris county. By the terms
of his bill mortgaged property would
be exempted from double taxation. To
make the matter clearer the assessor
would be prevented from returning for
taxation the same dollar twice.
The Coffin bill is designed to remove
one of the most glazing inequalities
in our system of taxation. AS the
matter now stands the man who bor-
rows money on his property continues
to pay on its full value, while the
mortgage must pay on the amount
covered by his mortgage. Then if the
borrower still have the amount of his
loan in hank On March 1 he is also
taxed on that, thus causing the same
dollar to pay three times. The law as
it stands is more unjust even than the
one which places a penalty on thrift
and public spirit by taxing the citizen
on the improvements he makes on his
property.

WORK ON OUTSIDE
Engineering Society Won't
Dabble in Road Legislation.
Final Session of Annual Meet
ing To Be Held Tonight.

The members of the Kansas En-
gineering society are inclined to let
the other fellow do the legislating for
good roads, and TO support, thru their
influence with the members and COM
mittees of good roads associations
and similar organizations, the meri-
tortous good roads propositions. 1t is
probable that there will be no report
from the legislative committee of the
society. Only one of the members is
present.
A committee was appointed Tuesday
which was instructed to investigate, so
far as possible, the numerous good
roads measures which are before the
present legislature. The committee
consists of P. F. Walker, of the faculty
of the state university: Con M. Buck
and w. S. Gearhart, state highway and
drainage engineer.
The engineers will not commit
themselves on the proposition of the
creation of a state highway commits

whatever assistance or engineering

Tuesday.
This morning the engineers attend

ROTATED WRONG WAY
Food at Rotarian Banquet Made Many
of the Guests Ill.

A combination of certain elements
of the menu at the Rotarian feed last
night, notably Tutti Frutti ice cream,
old rose sherbet and chicken la King,
which implies mushrooms as con-
stituent, resulted in deeply impressing
the feed on the minds of some 25 per
cent of the guests at the banquet.
Approximately that number are re-
ported as on the sick list today.
1t was feared at first that there had
been a wholesale ptomaine poisoning
of the guests at the banquet. How
ever, it was definitely established that
there was nothing of the sort, and that
the ill effects were merely the results
of chemical reactions among the
aforesaid reagents. No serious cases
of illness have been reported.
