See the First Episode of
The Fatal Ring Today

Written by Fred Jackson, the
famous playwright, "The Fatal
Ring" is by far the best serial in
which Pearl White has yet ap-
peared. It is a typical Pearl
White story with a thrill in
every scene and a startling eli
max in every episode. There
never has been SO much excite
ment crowded into one story as
is contained in this apparently
endless hunt for a Violet Dia-
mond, stolen from a strange re-
ligious sect who had worshipped
it. See the first episode today
in vivid motion pictures.

 His contention that this country should Surrender it's right to sail the high seas in pursuit of peaceful business at the order of the kaiser compares avoraby with the contention of certain people, living nthe north, back in 1861 who declared that Lincoln should withdraw his sold ers from the southern states and allow them to carry out their plan to break up the Union and cecede.

Meat Unnecessary
SAYS ]. H. WATSON. M. D.


Meat is the most expensive article
of diet, and the least necessary. Add
milk, cheese, fruit. fresh fish, 10 vege-
table articles and you have a good
diet The rheumatic should abstain
from meats, or eat very sparingly. II
is a well-known fact that in govt seri-
Gus organic disease OF the kidneys oc-
ours. Such scientists as Futcher
Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and Reach
have shown that uric acid in excess
is retained in the blood when the kid
neys do not help excrete this poison.
Uric acid retained within the body is
believed to be the preceding stage or
cause OF BrIght's disease. The excess
sive use of nitrogenous food or meats
often increases uric acid.
High living. intestinal indigestion,
constipation. disturbance of the liver,
frequent chilling OF the body-all re-
suit in retaining within the body an
excess OF uric acid.
The best way to overcome this con-
dition and prevent rheumatism and

a pint Of hot water morning and
night with lemon juice squeezed into

that the rheumatic pains, the back
