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 1t; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
1t was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, 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 sill 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 1oc. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than Ithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

Soldier Prayers

During the progress of the conflict
In Europe the question has at various
times been asked, HAS the war made
men more religious?"
Certainly the war has made men
more prayerful, at least so far as the
spoken or written petition is concerned.
There is a large collection of soldiers
prayers and sailors prayers. Also
there are special prayers for aviators.
These applications are beautifully
written and, no doubt are exceedingly
impressive.
On all ships of the Italian navy a
prayer is read at shutdown when the
flag is lowered for the night-a prayer
in which tuese words occur: "Lift up
our hearts from this sacred ship which
our country has armed for battle. Save
and exalt our king. Give just glory
and power to the flag of our country.
and smite the hearts of the enemy with
fear of her. So order it in thy wisdom
that she be ever defended by hearts
stronger even than the armor which
protects this ship. And give her VIC
tory always"

WASHINGTON. Oct. z.

That important developments are pend
ing affecting Scandinavia and Holland is
the strong conviction in official circles here
today
Ever increasing tightening of the Allied
embargo on shipment of supplies OF all
kinds to Sweden Norway, Denmark and
Holland Is rapidly creating a situation
which may have an important bearing on
the war.
The complaint OF these countries against
the American embargo is growing louder
This coupled with Great Britains stopping
shipment OF all articles to Scandinavia and
Holland. Is expected to bring a crisis.
In Atlantic ports tons of grain for HoI-
land and other neutrals are rotting and
sprouting in the vessels Scores OF ships are
lying idle and thousands of dollars are be-
ing lost as a result Of Allied refusal TO let
the grain and other products GO
There II a persistent rumor that GERMANY
may try TO seize Holland. particularly, il
the British menace against the Ostend.Zee.
brugge bases becomes more acute, or IL
there should appear to be any suggestion
of an Allied coup of getting a foothold in
Holland.
Meantime. Scandinavia Is a perplexlng
problem, with the chance that the pro-
German Swedish royalty may lead the nation
into war on the side of the Central Pow.
ers. Norway and the other Scandlnayians
may flock TO that leadership, though Nor
wegian diplomats here declare their coun-
try will starve before II will enter the
