ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test a man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play a most i'm
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y, who further
advise all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality Of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength. before meals.
This An-u-ric is a late discovery Of DR..
Pierce and is put up In tablet form. and
can be obtained Ct 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. Take n little Anurlc before meals
and prolong you life. Send 10 cents to
DR.. Pierce for trial package of Anuric.
Large package 60 cents.

Short Day and Longevity.

In Pearson's Magazine of recent IT,
sue appears an article under the title
1.-THE Printers Fight For Life and Vic
tory" Recounting the benefits derived
from the acquisition of the eight hour
day, the writer estimates that the two
hours reduction in the working dag
has annually added a thousand years
Of leisure to the playtime of the mem
bers Of the union, resulting in an in.
crease in the average length of life OF
printers. He says: "In 1900, when the
nine hour day was born, the products
of the ten hour day were dying. The
average age at death was Alps years.
Eight years later, when the eight hour
day had just been gained, the average
printer lived 1906 years. Eight years
Of the eight hour regime raised that
average to51.72 years" This increase
In longevity the writer credits solely
to the reduction in the number Of
working hours.

In Thackeray's novel "The Virgin
ians" occurs the following passage: at
was strange that in a savage forest of
Pennsylvania a young Virginia officer
should fire shot and waken up a war
which was to last for sixty years, which
was to cover his own country and pass
into Europe, to cost France her Amer
lean colonies, to sever ours from us and
create the great western republic; to
rage over the old world when extin-
guished in the now, and, of air the
myriads engaged in the vast contest, to
have the prize of the greatest fame with
him who struck the first blow" What
does this refer to?
1t refers to passage in the early
part of General Washington's career,
the young. ViSginian referred to being
Washington himself. In 1851, when
only nineteen years old, he was ap-
pointed by the governor Of Virginia adj
jutant general with the rank of major,
and two years later he was sent in
command Of small force of Virginia
militia to oppose the aggressions Of the
French on the upper Ohio. This expe-
dition was not entirely successful, and
it brought on a collision with the
French which was the beginning of a
war that involved the long train of
consequences described by Thackeray,
He might have stated as one of the
curious condolences of history that in
this expedition the English forces, IN
der Washington, surrendered to the
French on the 4th of July, 1854, twen-
ty-two years to day before the Decla-
ration Of Independence.
When, where and by whom was the
"big brother movement" organized?
The movement was founded In 1904
by Ernest X. Coulter in New York
city and has been taken up in quite a
number of cities. Its object is to en-
list business men in the work of res
cuing little boys from bad conditions
and helping them on the way to good
citizenship.

A. contends that million million is
a billion in England and ten hundred
million 10 a billion in the United States.
3. contends that in both countries ten
hundred million is a billion. Who is
right?
Great Britain clings to its own nu-
merical system and reckons billion as
million times million, 100000 00,-
600. In the United States billion Is
reckoned as only thousand million,
1000, 100000 The same notation is also
used in France as in this country, but
she has also another name for 1t,
"milliard," which, expressed In our
numbers, means thousand million, or
billion.
