Uric

Ever since the discovery of Scheele In
IT'S that uric acid was found within the
body--most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered a new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and II
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store. or send DIR. Pierce 1oc. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than Ithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

SAYS TOYS WILL BE UNKNOWN
Nine. M~ontessori Predicts That in Flu
ture Children Will Find Play in
Useful Things.

DIR. Maria Montessorri of Rome, in
ternationally famed authoress and ed
ucator, foretold to 700 women the
coming of the time when toys win be
unknown and children will find en-
joyment In useful things adapted to
their mental level. She was talking at
a meeting arranged by the New Eng
land Montessori association.
'Impatience on the part Of mothers
materially hinders the progress Of chill
dren." she said. Let the child take
his own time about performing duties
and you will find they are done far bet
ter than mothers could do them Imag-
Inc yourself dressing leisurely, but
thoroughly, to be suddenly grabbed by
a giant maid, literally thrust into your
clothes and hustled into q motor car.
Sometimes we adults go part way
through life as If In chaos until we
find something that interests US. Then
a phenomena takes place Why not
give the child the same chance? We
can be compared to an airplane. We
| first must have a motor, then we run
over the ground a short distance and
finally we rise in flight. A child mus
be developed along those same lines.
