FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER
Pain IN Stomach, Back
or Joints.
CBy Samuel Hamilton. VI. d.

In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water is necessary in
good bodily housekeeping. To drink
a pint of hot water before meals is
good practice, and those suffering
from catarrhal condition Of the stom-
ach will find benefit in adding about
10 grains (one-sixth OF level tea
spoonful of baking-soda, drinking it
an hour before each meal.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism
at times, pain in the back or back of
the neck, take little Anuric before
meals. Anuric double strength)
can be found at any good drug store,
and was first discovered by DR..
Pierce, of the Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y.
When rundown, when life indoors
has brought about a stagnant condi-
ton in the circulation-most every
one is filled with uric acid-especislly
is this so Of people past middle age.
This uric acid in the blood often
causes rheumatism, lumbago, swell
ing of hands or feet, or a bag-like
condition under the eyes. Backache,
frequent urination or the pains and
stiffness of the joints and high blood
pressure are also often noticed.
Every one should drink plenty OF
pure water and exercise in the open
air as much as possible l have
found that Anuric is an antidote for
this uric acid poison and that il will
dissolve the accumulation of uric
acid in the body much as hot water
dissolves sugar.-Adx

An Open Letter.
Mr.. President:

e
During the current week the SEN
ate will be called upon to make a
decision which will vitality affect ap-
proximately 10000 employees of this
government. To the employees it
means that they will be forced to
fight life and death battle with pow
erty, brought on by the high cost Of
living, without weapons, or that they
will be given little assistance with
which to make the battle.
Their present weapons are of the
vintage of 1854 and hopelessly out Of
date. For many years they have
tried at various times to have this
government provide new weapons fof
their use, as it has for the other uses
of the country.
But because we have had to have
better equipment for our army and
navy and higher salaries for our ex-
ecutives, the plea of the government
employe has always been turned down
in the name of economy.
That same word is about TO be
used again as an excuse for denying
to a poorly paid group of servants
a just but very moderate raise in
salary. The House of Representa-
tives, which, by virtue of its position,
has the best interests of the people
of this country at heart, has already
gone on record as favoring a slight
percentage of increased salary. And
at the time of the consideration of
the question in the House, fifty-fve
Senators pledged themselves as fav-
oring the raise.
But the committee of the Senate
has seen fit to strike out the raises
in the name of economy Just what
economy can be gained through hav-
ing the affairs of the government in
the hands of poorly paid workmen is
hard to see, but the committee has
acted.
1t now rests with the Senate as a
whole. They will decide this week.
Meanwhile, a petition signed by
100000 Americans is being sent to
you, as the Chief Executive of this
country. There must be virtue in an
appeal of half million people from
all parts of the country. When it
arrives you will have the opportunity
of eliminating or at least alleviating
the struggle of 10000 persons who
with their families are depending on
our government for existence.
1t would be the act of man who
has the cause of humanity at heart,
Mr.. President, if you should heed
that petition and do all in your power
to aid its benehciaries.

VERY SMOOTH OF SPEECH.

In the lobby of Washington hotel, the
other night, reference was made to the
subject OF smooth speech. when John s.
Williams, Comptroller of Currency, was
reminded of the soft rejoinder of a pol
ished bachelor.
During a social affair one evening, at
which the bachelor was a guest, several
of the women present wondered why he
had never married. Opportunity afford
ing a few minutes later, one of the fair
ones proceeded to satisfy her curiosity
on that point.
I'VE were not little surprised, Mr..
Jones'" said she, deftly leading UP to the
question, "to learn that you had never
married. Are you a bachelor from
choice7"
"Oh, yes" answered Bachelor Jones, a
little too hastily, 1t seems.
"1ndeed!' responded the fair one, with
a reproving expression. isn't that just
little ungaIlant, Mr.. Jones?"
You must ask the women. madame, g

LIGHT-HEARTED WOMEN.

A cheerful. light-hearted woman IS
the Joy OF a mans life Beauty will
fade, a good figure will change, but
the charm of health and. cheerfulness
will endure to the end. But how can
a woman be cheerful and happy when
dragged down by some female dc
rsngement, with a backache, head
ache, and often on the verge OF a
nervous breakdown.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is the standard remedy
for such ailments. During the last
40 years thousands Of homes have
been made happy by this woman's
great remedy for woman's ills.-Adv.

The President Speaks.

The President of the United States
barred his mind to the world yester-
day. He spoke to embattled Europe
as the pilot and the spokesman of
those liberals and democrats who
believe that-just as Minerva sprang
full-panoplied from the head of Jove
out of the present carnage a per
manent and Christian peace can
come.
There is no diplomatic hnesse
about the Presidents words, no
bandying of sophistical and two
edged phrases. They are so clear
that he who runs may read. They
may be the words of an idealist, open
to the leering thrust of the cynic and
the materialist. The President may
well bear with composure the charge
that he is idealistic Hampton, Rous-
seau, Jefferson, Tom Paine, Lincoln,
Kossuth and Cavour were all ideal
lists.
The magnificent part of the Pres
ident's move is that it grips the offer
of Arthur J. Balfour, the British For
eign Minister, who in his recent note
to the United States almost invited
the President to take the action he
has taken. Balfour declared there
could be no lasting peace without
guarantees that would give the
hardest aggressor pause" He indi-
Gated that Great Britain was ready
to accept the formula of an interna-
tional community of power" The
President takes Balfour at his word /;
takes him so promptly, so incisively,
as to make this sodden, war-ridden
old world gasp.
The Presidents program is epic in
its scope. He seeks the peace of the
world by abolishing the balance-of-
power system, which has been the
bane of Europe through the centu-
ries; by effccting the freedom of the
seas" which means nothing if it does
not mean eliminating the predomi-
nance of the British navy; by a limi-
tation of both naval and military
armament, which Germany scornful-
ly rejected at two Hague confer
ences; by a real recognition of the
rights of small nations and of the
lesser and weaker peoples of the
world to realize their own destiny in
their own way.
Such program will be laughed to
scorn unless Europe is willing to see
the folly of conquest and of Caesar
ism, to fling away the imperialism
which seems woven into the war and
woof of its soul, to welcome the
democracy of the New World. In
other words, to accept the Christ
spirit as binding upon nations as well
as upon individuals.
Speaking for the British empire,
! Mr.. Balfour has stated that the war
is fought to preserve civilization, so
far as the entente is concerned; that
the allies will keep up the fight until
they are enabled to reach and to en-
force guarantees that will forever
make repetition of the present ca
tastrophe impossible. This is exact
ly the Presidents idea, except that
he is opposed to "a victory accepted
IN humiliation. that would leave 2
