breeding place for hundreds of the
larvae. This spring 1 have seen mil

There is another breeding place
for these insects which has been

troughs of our houses. If the down

mains in the trOughs it makes an
ideal place for breeding. This
source of breeding has been over

Let us get rid of the discarded
cans and examine the eavetroughs

around town and by this means keep
the cities freer from mosquitoes this
year than ever before, so that we

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele in 1775 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, gout, etc.
 It was Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent called Anuric, a harmless remedy that if taken before meals will carry off the uric acid from the system and in 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 Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial package. Try it and be convinced that Anuric is many times more active than hthia and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

JOHN OuATTLEBAUM SUSPECT ED AS BANDS LEADER OF
 HoLDUP IN WHITE COUNTY.
TRAILED BY BLOODHOUNDS
Search oE the Three Failed To Reveal S2,ooo Stolen From the Bank When Kent Was Forced To Surrender
 Funds and Be Locked in Vault.
Conway

While county officers already have made three arrests and fourth is probable in tracking the two men who completed a daylight hold-up of the Bank of Fl Paso, at Fl Paso, and escaped before Cashier Robert Kent could extricate himself from the vault and give the alarm, Syd and Frank Quattlebaum and a relation named Stone, the trio under arrest, and John Quattlebaum, brother of the first two, and suspected by officers as being the bands leader, were being sought in the neighborhood of Floyd, 12 miles distant from Fl Paso, accord ing to the last report from there. A strong case, it is said, has been de veloped against the men, although they deny any knowledge of the rob- bery.
 Ploodhounds owned by Robert King of Conway were used in tracking the men. The dogs easily picked up the trail at the bank and followed out side of E Paso, where the men changed from buggy to horseback. A second stop was made for lunch, and officers say that at this point scrap of paper was found, upon which a division of the stolen money had been computed
 Syd Quattlebaum was the first ar rested. A false mustache, tallying with Cashier Rents description of the one worn by the taller of the robbers, is said to have been found at the Quattlebaum home. Frank Quattle- baum and Stone were arrested later in the day on the road between Fl Paso and Floyd. They were turned over to White county officers.
 Search of the three failed to reveal s2,000 stolen from the bank, when Kent was forced to surrender it's funds and be locked in the vault Eff teen cents was found at the spot where the men stopped for lunch. The arrest of John Quattlebaum is ex- pected to reveal some trace of the missing funds. Kent, it is said, posi- lively identified the man named Stone as one of the two in the hold up.
 The Quattlebaum brothers, impli- cated by the arrests, are well known here, where citizens give them an in different reputation. Stone is a close relative and associate.
