THE LAST EXAMINATION
OF WARS DRAFT

Many a man has fallen down because a
test of his water showed Enthusiastically
that he had kidney disease.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their signals
of distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
''The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health
and cure such symptoms" says Dr.
Pierce of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,
'is to drink plenty of water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of An-u-ric, double strength,
which is dispensed by almost every drug
gist." You will find Anuric more potent
than lithia, dissolves uric acid almost as
water does sugar. Large package 60 cents.
Send DR.. Pierce 1Oc for trial pkg. and
ask for advice if there is need.

BOY OF CHESTERFIELD TYPE
Newsy Divides His Papers With Pals,
Also Remembers Arresting Off
Ger on Reaching Station.

A policeman with kindly eyes, but
a Spartan sense of duty, was towing
a small boy TO the nearest station, says
the Washington Star.
A flock of other boys tagged be-
hind.
The criminal grinned with nervous
bragadocio. Each boy was a human
geyser of sympathy and the whole
show, from a strictly scenic viewpoint,
supplied comic supplement tempest
of the sort we know about-with the
teapot left out.
AS he reached his last edge of free
dom the prisoner passed over batch
of newspapers to the nearest boy with
orders to divide them all areund-eX-
cept one. He handed that one to the
policeman.
The officer accepted the courtesy.
Then he ordered the boys to return the
papers. Then he gave the criminal
good-humored shake and told him to
be off.
"And don't let me catch you scrap
ping again, you little scamp you"
And the little scamp took to his

Least of Two Evils.

An employee in the Office of noisy
munition plant was absent from work
>one morning. After luncheon, how
ever, he presented himself. He looked
pretty bad, but he claimed that he was
ready for work.
''Why, what are you doing down
here?" cried the boss. "Your wife tel
ephoned that you probably wouldn't
be able to work for several days. She
said you were on the verge of nery-
Gus prostration, and that the least
noise was bad for you. Why didn't
you stay at homer"
"Well," answered the wage slave,
raising his voice to be heard above the
distracting din. 81 did get through

went back to New York with his OBJ

of course, the soldier must carry to
tide him over bad situations where
the enemy fire is hotter than the bake
ovens behind the line. But for feed
ing his armies in barrack and trench,
Uncle Sam has become a domestic
scientist who thinks in terms of nu-
tritive values and a psychologist who
realizes that the stomach's digestive
juices will not respond unless the
palate telegraphs it's approval to the
brain.
Never before in the worlds history
have commanders of troops realized
how absolutely an army ''moves on
it's stomach" 1t would not be going
too far to say that a unit in motion is
organized around the commissariat.
Closer than the artillery to the in
fantry, or the aviation division to ell
ther, comes the group of trolling kitch-
ens," which, their great kettles boiling
merrily all day, go mule drawn into
action behind the marching men. Soup
Is simmering, beef is stewing, the clas-
sic beans are heating as the doughty
cook wagon bumps along. When the
company halts for noon the efficient
cook is ready to announce dinner is
served" In appearance it's as simple
Ms the organization of a dining-car
service; and in actuality many times
as complicated.
In the months to come, when our |

perched reasonably out of range on a |
SCARED field somewhere in France and |

Charm Is Necessary.

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, the great

Gus divorces that have come into the
courts of late years to lack of charm
in the women concerned.

says Nine. Bernhardt, "asking of it
something with which to buy happi-

one has charm, she will be loved. And
a woman must have love to be happy.
Beauty does not matter. If woman
has charm she can secure whatever
she wants-love, success, power"

Credit to Old Sergeant.
In fact, large majority of the good

menu for his Sammies is due to an old
commissary sergeant of Fort Riley.
His name was Dunno, and he was one
of those "born to the griddle," who
has the same advantage over the ordi-
nary aspirant to kitchen honors that
Kubelik had from birth over the little
girl next door.
He was not a man of education in
the ordinary acceptance of the word,
but he was a first-class army cook.
On scraps of wrapping paper or old
bills he kept copy of every recipe he
had ever tried. These were edited by

book called methods of Handling
