OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One in
four of our boys at home was sick. re-
jected because of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tiSm.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day,
IS the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times day
for a month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
Anuric go cents PACKAGE or send DR..
Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric many
times more potent than lithia, often elm
mates uric acid as hot water melts SUI
gar. A short trial will convince you.

and from PetrOgrad to Wilma. There
is also an important railroad to Libau.
Dvinsk is $50 miles by rail southwest
of Petrograd.
''Dvinsk is an important agricultural
center, enjoying an extensive trade in
flax, hemp and grain. 1t is also a big
timber market, and its flourishing in
dustries before the war included -four
mills, breweries, match and tobacco
factories, tanneries, brick and tile
works.
"In most encyclopedias and gaZeteers
the city is listed under its old name
of Dnaburg, but in 1893 the Russian,
authorities officially declared it to be-

presented to-day in the condemnation

he owned thirteen steamships and was

Of man9uvring to get foodstuffs into

The Solicitor-General said that tcie-

Wagner for the express purpose Of en-
abling the ships to fly the American flag.

construed as indicating that the allied
authorities do not expect to end the war
this year.
Mr.. Churchill intimated a strong belief
that the blockade will force the collapse
Of the Central empires and bring about
the finish Of the war in 1918 without
such huge sacrifices Of life as would be
necessary in forcing a military decision.
This view is widely entertained, and Mr..
who ordinarily favors action gives cs-
pecial Significance to such a declaration.
The Government knows that internal
conditions In Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary are very bad, that they are becom-
ing worse rapidly. and that as the ma
tions behind the fighting lines grow
weaker than the armies they cannot sup
port the pressure indefinitely.
Men Of the Churchill school. including
the naval party. believe continuance of
the blockade Of economic pressure will
force Germany to send its high seas feet
out for a last desperate effort. This is
keenly desired by advocates OF extreme
measures for the destruction of the Ger
man naval power. who urge no peace will
be safe while Germany possesses its
fleet.

said armed neutrality bill to be voted
on in the Senate, knowing full well that
upon the passage Of said measure de-
pended the lives OF hundreds Of brave
American seamen.'
1t asserts the Senators knew Germany
repeatedly had insulted the American
flag, torpedoed ships in defiance OF in
ternational law and was making
earnest efforts to bring the United
States into war with Japan: that they
knew the United States was swarming
with German spies and that bridges and
munition plants were being ruthlessly
destroyed. mot knowing how soon plots
would be uncovered to assassinate our
President. destroy our navy yards and
naval and military stores, sink our ships
and otherwise humiliate and discredit
us among the nations Of the earth"
The resolution condemns the out
rageous action" Of the Senators named
as "unmanly. unpatriotic. un-Amerlcan.
unparalleled and unwarranted,' II
commends ''the patriotic members OF
both branches OF Congress" who stood
with the President in showing that
while We may have isolated cases
OF Toryism, as in Revolutionary days.
we are true to our country as were the

II concludes with a message that
