TO LIVE LONG!

A recipe gwen by famous physician
for long life was: keep the kidneys in
good order Try to eliminate thru the
skin and intestines the poisons that
otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat
ing meat as much as possible; avoid too
much silt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and
vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water,
and exercise so you sweat - the skin
helps to eliminate the toxic poisons
and uric acid"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation, as backache, scalding rwater,"
or if uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, rrusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is a
wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DR.. Pierce of Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y. If your druggist
does not keep it send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package and you will
find that it is many times more potent
than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

 Ideal plants for covering brick, stone and rough surfaces are the am pelopsis and hedena helix-the true European ivy. The latter prefers northern exposure as the alternating thawing and freezing of late winter is apt to kill it if grown where the sun strikes It. The ampelopsis, better known as the Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is at all times beautiful. The tender growth in the spring is delicate ly shaded and in the fall the leaves are gorgeous in vari-colored golds, erimsons and scarlets.
 Morning glories, cypress vines, sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japa nese hops, with cucumber are among our most desirable annual climbers. i Seeds of them do not cost much, and a l package of one or the other will yield i shade, beauty and grace.

est demand for the holiday trade is for the smaller birds suitable for a dinner for an ordinary family.
 The plnmage of the bronze Is very attractive. The feathers are bronze or dull black with bands of white across. The bronze tint gives pleasing color effects.
 One common objection has been that the bronze hen is not very good layer. But it is generally found that laying is largely an individual charac- teristic. Many prefer the bronze and generally this breed by far outnumbers the others on the holiday market.
 The bronze turkeys are close de- scendants of the American wild tur- key, which is still found in some parts of our country. The young of the domesticated birds soon show d ten dency to wander in search of food. They can fly to an astonishing height when it becomes necessary.

With this end in view q new bed has been constructed. This bed has surrounding it, close to the edge of the mattress, rectangular framework of hollow metal piping. The parallel sides are connected by broad bands of webbing stretched across the top of the mattress; the pa tient lies on these bands. The short sides of the framework of the bed that is, at the head and foot-are also connected by geared wheel having vertical steel post. By turning the handle at the foot or head of the bed the framework, with the patient lying on the webbing, is lifted off the mat tress while his position remains un- changed.
