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 pr. Pierce of Sur gical Institute. Buffalo, N. r., 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 at 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 @ little Anuric before meals and prolong your life. Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package of Anuric. Large package 60 cents.

WHY FAMILY MOVED TO TOWN
Compelled to Make Change Because of Poor Schools and Bad Roads
 Remedy for Poverty.

ssWhy don't they go on to farm?" is the question with which many men dismiss from their minds the story of some poverty-stricken family. The chances are five to one that that same family was induced to move to town because of poor schools and poor roads in the country. The remedy for much of the poverty now in our towns is good roads and good schools in the country. Why should not country schools be given the same attention given city and town schools? Why should not the children be permitted to go to them over good roads with dry feet, inntead of wading through mud and water? Good roads will make the country better place in which to live.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert at National Capital Illustrates How Scheme Is to Be Brought
 to Successful End.

The establishment of a national SyS- tenn of highways is greatly facilitated by the federal aid road law, which compels all the states that would share in it's benefits-and that means all of the states-to equip themselves with state highway departments. With these state highway departments devoting their attention to the building of state systems of main, through-line high ways, every condition is favorable for the next and crowning act-the estab- nshment of a national system of high ways.
 By way of Illustrating how a na- tonal system of highways is about to be evolved by easy and logical stages. an expert at the national capital made the following statement:
 Gradually the state has made itself a compelling factor in the handling of local road problems and, as a logical sequence, the federal government, first through educational activity and later by the financial aid provided by the federal aid law, has made itself a powerful factor in the working out of the state highway problems. The next logical step follows the same course WACA AdS DCcA puTSUcu Uy tI0 SIdLO governments, namely, the broadening of federal participation to provide for the establishment of a system of na- tional highways.
 'This policy can be put into effect without disturbance of existing organ tzations, without providing new means of finance and with but little change in existing laws. The process would logically take a course somewhat as follows:
 "1. The state highway departments and the federal office of public roads would make an initial selection from existing state highway systems of those highways which are of interstate importance.
 '.2. A system thus selected would be approved b$ congress, with the re- quirement that federal funds be ap- piled only to such system on and after a specified date.
 ''3. The federal aid should be ex- tended to maintenance as well as con- struction, as the national system of highways should have for all time a close relationship with the federal gov ernment.
 'Some of the states already have made plans for utilizing the aid grant ed by the federal aid road act on roads which could not properly be included in national system. But this need

 Germany's Path in Belgium.

The Germans entered Belgium in August and September, 1914; we be gan to come in November. Hence we saw none of the atrocities of the inva- Sion-we saw only results of them, writes Vernon Kellogg in the Atlantic. Among these results, as soon by us, were, hasten to say, no women with out breasts or children without hands. But there were women without hus- bands and sons and daughters and children without mothers and fathers. There were families without homes, farms without cattle or horses or houses; towns without town halls and churches and most of the other build ings, and even some without any build ings at all, and a few without many citizens. But there were cemeteries with scores and hundreds of new graveSSnot of soldiers; and little tod ding children who came up eagerly to you, saying, "Mon pere est mort ma mere est mort.' They were dis tinguished from some of their play mates by this, you seel

But there were stories that were true all true.

Soliciting Teams Declare that Dozens Are
Willing to Make Sacrifices in
Contributing

The biggest thing throughout the
nation this week is the campaign to
raise the Y. M. C. A. war fund. 1t is
the biggest thing in Hood River, and
scores of business men and orchardists
are giving much of their time to as
semble the 81, 500 quota set for the
county.
That word assemble is used purpose
ly, for indeed the teams are finding
that solicitations are not necessary.
In almost all instances the teams are
finding the citizens of town and valley
all ready with their contributions.
They have made up their minds in ad-
vance. They have considered their
financial condition and have given what
they consider they are able.
Indeed, members Of teams say that
dozens of those who have made con-
tributions are ready to undergo sacri-
fees that in justice to themselves they
ought not to make, and in many in
stances, at the possible expense of
offending the donors, contributors were
asked to cut their appropriations in
half.
1t was announced yesterday morning
that Hood River county had already
passed the $3.50 mark and that indica
tions pointed conclusively to the real
ization of the goal set by Saturday
night,
