(BY DIR. L. H. SMITHl

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
= The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is Of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as it Is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store package of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

Omaha May Have First-Class
Excursion Boat This Year

A high-class excursion boat to be
operated on the Missouri river out Of
Omaha this summer is now one Of
the possibilities.
Jack McCaffrey has been before the
Commercial club and in conference
with Industrial Secretary Gillian and
the Navigation league with regard to
this. McCaffrey has an option on a
large pleasure steamer, which he
thinks could operate on the Missouris
waters about Omaha very nicely. If
he is given sufficient assurance of the
practicabiiity Of such move it is said
he will 60 ahead and purchase the
boat.
The boat is expected to be handled
and conducted on a high-class scale,
removing entirely the stigma that has
in the past attached to the small
tramp steamers that fotted in here pc
riodically and operated very loosely
up and down the river for the bene-
| fit of Saturday night FOUNDERS.

AMERICA DOES NOT
REALIZE DANGER
Granville Barker, English Play
wright, Talks Before the
Drama League.
SAYS PEACE HAS HORRORS

Americas failure to realize the grav-
ity of the international situation is
what impresses Granville Barker, dis
tinguished English playwright and
producer, who spoke on Ideas in
the Theater" at the Fontenelle
Monday before the Drama league and
Fine Arts societies. \
you are just like the man whose
train leaves at 3:l5 and who at )
O'Clock still sits with his hands folded,
his baggage scattered about him, and
refuses to pack. I don't believe the
train will leave at 3:l5 o'clock he
muses.. But the train will leave at the
appointed time and he will not be
ready for it.
Not until the Metropolitan building
topples to the ground by a bursting
shell>or New York is blown to atoms
will you of the middle west realize
you are facing peril" is his opinion.
Overwhelmed by War.
Americans seem overwhelmed by

of war are not to be minimized, but
how about the horrors of peace? What
of the slums and the sweat shops and
the pain-wracked sufferers condemned
to a life of torture? When house is
ahre is no time to agonize over the
horrors of fire. The fire must be
quenched"
But England will not be beaten"
he exclaimed in tones OF earnest con-
viction. This is a war of democracy
against autocracy There can be no
question as to the result"
Barker's observations anent those
who acquire the culture bug were
derogatory to the devotees. Culture
doesn't come from the top. You can't
set up such an ideal for culture and
say, That is the proper thing to en- joy.
Let us enjoy it. You must begin at
the bottom, And, anyway, the person
who enjoys a Brahms sonata is some
times OF no earthlN use to the world
otherwise.
Does Not Read Criticisms.
Barker refused to read adverse
! crltlques from eastern papers with re-
gard to his latest play, THE Morris
Dance" which had its premier in New
York last week. IF things fail
ure, it is-and that's all there is to it.
No talking about it is going to do any
good. And, anyway, | don't care for
their criticisms. They can't tell me
anything don't know, because [
know more about my plays than any
one else can" he said.
For William Dean Howells to COL
laberate with Charlie Chaplin would
be a very interesting thing, Mr.,
Barker thinks. For a man to devote
himself entirely to initiating himself
is boresome. 1t would do Mr.. How
ellis lot of good to write scenario
for Charlie Chaplin and it would do
the movie actor lot of good, too, to
appear in a scenario Howells had

FORTUNE DEPENDS E
ON SCRAP OF PAPER
Courts Interpretation of Old
Sutphen Will Involves Val
liable Joslyn Land.
MRS. JosLYN FAvoRs SUIT

District court litigation dating back
a quarter OF a century, involving the
heirship and right to sell Omaha prop
erty with a valuation of $4,000 in
1892 and estimated to be worth $780,
600 now, has again been revived.
Sarah H. Joslyn, widow of the late
George A. Joslyn, multi-millionaire
Omahan, as executrix of the huge
estate, appeared iii court and agreed
to a revival of the case against her
late husband by Earl c. Sutphen, son
and grandson of the two Sutphens,
who sold five acres to the Western
Newspaper Union head in the early
'90s.
In 1892 the late Dewitt c. Sutphen
and Charles D. Sutphen, grandfather
and father respectively of Earl I.
Sutphen, who became of age in 1918,
sold the property in question to Mr..
Joslyn. The hve\ acres originally
were part of the old Marston home
stead, Samuel L. Marston having OBJ
tanned possession of the land in 1855
for practically song.
A Life Interest.
The Sutphens, father and son, in
herited the property from their wife
and mother, Emily NJ. Sutphen,
whose will gave them life interest
in it, with a provision that it should
go to, their heirs after their deaths.
They took the case to the courts
then to determine if they had the
right to sell the property, and fol-
lowing favorable decision disposed
of it to Mr.. Joslyn for a consideration
of $4,000 The court at this time held
THAT the will gave them the right
to sell.
When the Sutphen heir, Earl c,
attained his majority four years ago,
he went into district court and repu-
dated the sale made by his father
and grandfather, asking that the case
be reopened and the transaction set
aside on the grounds that the origi-
nal will of his grandfather gave heirs
only life interest in it.
