The declaration was followed by
q silence of some length. The see

Killed by Poisons

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as o kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-
generated, by disease or old age, then
these poisons are retained in the body.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for " long life, DR.. Pierce OF
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure ut your nearest drug store
Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid
out. Scientific men have learned that in
govt, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals - a p'5.ta! n "' '1tTt

If we wish to keep our kidneys in tie
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 a day for
o month. An-u-ric is many times riore
potent than lithia and is sold by drug.

Oyster Fishing by Submarine.

Mr.. Simon Lake, the father of the
modern submarine, has suggested IN.
use of the submarine for polar explors
ton for ferrying supplies across ic"
bound rivers, for seeking sunken treas
ure, and for dredging oysters.
Experiments have demonstrated 10
Mr.. Lakes satisfaction that when tbs
submarine Is ut the bottom Of the.
ocean, the oysters car be sucked up
into II on the acuum cleaner prin.
ciplc. When traversing good ground
the submarine will suck up 5000 bush,
els of oysters in m hour. This means
that in one hour n mass Of oystera
will be collected which, II compactly
piled, would require a cylinder n and
three-quarters milo long to hold II
The idea should be particularly use

Ass LIMIT REMAINS SAME
Men Over 81 Will flot Be Orafeeo-
Every Youth Reae hing Fl Since
June 5, 1917, Must Reg
lister

Washington-The Government has
decided on draft registration OF all
young men as fast as they become
years old as the means Of
keeping filed the ranks of the wal
army. It has decided against raising
the draft age limit above thirty-one
years.
An Administration bill was intro
duced, at the request Of the War De-
partment, by Chairman Chamberlain,
Of the Senate Military Committee, to
register for draft all men who have
reached II since June s, 1917, when
the draft law became effective. The
Administrators support seems to as
sure its prompt passage. The bill
agrees with the recent recommends
tons of Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
Other Administration bills intro
duced by Chairman Chamberlain, at
the request of the War Department,
win supplement the draft law to make
it workable under conditions that have
developed. One would permit fur.
Laughing of National Army troops fol
harvest work or other civilian duty;
another would eliminate enemy alien
population from basis of calculations
for draft quotas by making the basis
for each state the number of men
available in Class One.
Registration of men who have be.
come of age since the draft law was
enacted was recommended in the re.
cent report of Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder as one of the means by
which a supply of men for the Ma.
tional Army might be assured without
taking those who might have others
dependent upon them.
1t could be done, also, the Provcet
Marshal General pointed out, by e..
tending the age limits above the pres
ent line of 81. The War Departures.
has adopted the first suggestion. 1t
is estimated that it will add about
100000 men to the draft available
each year.
Another bill introduced by Senator
Chamberlain would provide distinc.
tive badge or button for exempted
men.
