A:sGreaf Discovery

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
9 dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filled
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
As remedy for those easily recog-
mixed symptoms of inflammation caused
by uric acid-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
The very best possible way to take
care of yourself is to take q glass of
hot water before meals and Anuric, the
discovery of DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Step into any drug store and ask for a
Soc. package Of Anuric, which is many
times more potent than lithia and elimi-
mates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

PACIFIC COAST HAS
WINTER oRAYFIsH SUPPLY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The ha,
bits OF the grayfish, the newly intro,
duced foolish which the United
States bureau of fisheries claims ere.
dit for discovering ARE such that II
frequents the Atlantic coast in the
summer season and the Pacific coast
in the winter time. Experts of the
bureau OF fisheries say this means
that summer pack of grayfish can
be made on the Atlantic and a winter
pack on the Pacific coast.
The salmon canning machinery
which is idle part OF the year can
be used to pack grayfish profitab bly,.
according 10 the bureau. The mechan-
ical appartus used in salmon can
ming and which reduces hand labor to
a minimum is entirely adaptable to
grayfish canning.
The demand for grayfish is much
greater than the supply, according TO
the department OF commerce. For
this Teason the department hopes that
the Pacific coast Gamers Will take ad-
vantage of the presence of grayfIsh off
their coast durin gthe winter months
to make a heavy pack which will
supply the demand.

APPLE GROWERS PROTEST
SHORT STORAGE BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Apple
growers OF the Pacific coast states
have entered emphatic protests
against a bill recently introduced by
Representative Emerson in the house
to make 1t unlawful to hold in cold
storage any food product for period
longer than three months. Certain
varieties ~ apples grown on the coast,
they declare, do not become palatable
until after three months cold stor-
age.
The bill. il it should become law,
would force consumption of all apple
holdings within 100 days after the ap-
pie crop Is harvested and would result
In a disastrous congestion OF all con-
suming markets. force prices far be-
low the co-t of production, and mean
that the country would of necessity
DO without apples except during the
short picking season or immediately
thereafter.
The apple growers of the coast are
writing and teicgraphing their con-
Sressmen here in an endeavor to have
the measure amended so as to exempt
apples from it's operation. 1t is not
believed likely the bill will come up
for discussion as it is very likely to be
crowded out by other and more i'm
portant busines sand will thus die
with the congress on March 4. Should
II come up it will probably be amended
as the coast apple men wish.
