Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming

that you should drink plenty Of water
daily between meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double

acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the

tables, with only little meat once a day,
Is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times day
for q month.

DISPOSE OF DEAD CHICKENS
Cremation Is Only Safe Method Of Get

bide Can Is Handy.

There is only one safe method of
disposal Of the dead, and that is by
burning. An ordinary wood fire does
well, but an old carbide can or other
such things made over slightly, makes
the job easier, more complete and less
repulsive, writes Dale r. Van Horn in
Farm and Home. Having procured the
carbon can, make a hole in the
bottom a little smaller than the
hole in the top, and then on one side
near the top make a door as shown.
Before starting operations, dig a
small hole and set the can inverted
over 1t. FIJI with cobs or wood and
soak with cold oil. Then drop the
dead fowl in the top and ignite. When
all has burned, nothing will be left
but the ashes, which have fallen into

GERMANS RESUME
SLAV PROPAGANDA

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IA
While negotiating with the Bolshe'
Wiki regime for a separate peace, Ger
man military authorities have renew
ed their campaign to disOrganize the
Russian army and innoculate the sol
diers with German doctrine.
Cable advices today said schools
have been organized in all the German
divisions on the eastern front for the
training of men to be sent out among
the Russias Three noncommissioned
officers and six privates are drawn
from each division. They are chosen
with special reference to their know
ledge of the Russian and Polish Ian
guages and are instructed regarding
political conditions in Russia, lines of
communication in that country and
other facts that might be of value to
them in prosecuting their work.
In some quarters this campaign
was interpreted as designed to win
over the soldiers and thus strengthen
the Teutons in their demands for fav-
orable peacet erms. There were those,
however, who saw in the German
move a not overoptimistic view of
