 Gridley's sack, which was first started from Austin, Nevada, wore out dozens of ordinary flour sacks and three buckskin coverings before it reached the final purchaser. It has already been necessary to place the Shriners' sack in lauhala or tough, matlike covering. This cover ing was gift of the Honolulu Shriners.
 In every case when the sack Is sold, auctioned or raffled off it is re- turned by the purchaser to the person selling it. Thus 1t is being kept in the hands of the Shriners, who pass 1t on from lodge to lodge. The sack will progress on It's money-making way until there Is nothing left of 1t, or until the demands of the Shriners for this particular Red Cross fund have been satisfied.

Old Looks?
(BY DR. L. q. SMITH

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or baldhead
in eaf1y years is, indeed, often a sign of
uric acid. The face appears lean and
haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing in
young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink copiously OF pure water
between meals. This viii not make you
fat, as it is only the water taken with
the meals that fattens. Obtain at any
drug store a small package of Anuric,
which is to be taken before meals, in
order to expel the uric acid from the
system. The painful effects of backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, govt. due to uric
acid in the blood shoold quickly disappear
after treatment with Anuric.

TAKE OVER VESSELS
United States Authorities Seize
German Ships.
DEPUTY MARSHALS IN CHARGE
Action Follows Almost Immediately
After Passage by Congress of Res
oiution Declaring That
State of War Exists.

New York, April 6.-Seizure of Ger
man merchant vessels that took refuge
in Atlantic ports at the beginning of
the war began almost Immediately af-
ter congress passed the resolution de-
claring state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The collector of the port at Boston
was the first to act. The federal Of
ficials at New London, Conn, Balti-
more, New York and Philadelphia, fol-
lowed quickly. In a few hours United
States deputy marshals were in charge
of German vessels at these ports, rang
ing in size from the majestic Water
land of 54,2 S2 gross tons, to small sail
ing vessels.
The port officers acted on orders is
sued by the secretary of the treasury.
1t was understood that the move did
not involve confiscation and that the
vessels are held as a measure of
safety. There was no announcement
as to whether the government should
take over the ships for its use and pay
for them after the war.
OeTLudn vessels now IN American
ports number 81 with a gross tonnage
of about 100000.
Since the president delivered his war
message to congress these ships had
been under a heavy guard stationed
by the collector of the port.
Their officers have said that, lying
at their docks since the beginning of
the war, these vessels have become so
fouled and their slips so choked with
mud that it would have been virtually
impossible for them to get away unless
they were extricated by dredges.
At various times there had been re-
ports that the machinery and boilers
had been wrecked by their German
crews, but of this there was no official
confirmation.
Chancellor McGovern, after board
ing the North German Lloyd steamer
Whitehead at New London, said that it's
engines were apparently in good condi-
ton.
The ships taken over, ports in which
they were seized, and their tonnage |
and value, are as follows:
