Your kidneys are the filters OF the body.
II they become inactive and fail to elm
mate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism of the body
out Of order, thus toxic poisons can ac-
cumulate In the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments OF
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
ache, neglect OF the kidneys IS apt TO
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder. y
Rid the body of toxic poisons clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges Of rheumatism with An-u-ric
and you win the battle Of life

With the number Of so-called war
pictures" which we have seen--one
or two~of them excellent and the
others SO palpabIy faxed and false
lit is refreshing, to say the least, to
view one like my -Four Years in
Germany"
How anyone, no race or creed bar
red could view this picture and not
be thrilled to the very core is beyond
conception. 1t is a truly wonderful
picturization of events, historically
true, taken from the book Of the
same name. by Ambassador James w.
Gerard, and visualized in a manner
both interesting and entertaining.
The photography Is said to be per-

ARMOUR OF ANCIENTS.
TO WIN MODERN WAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-The
American soldier Of the near future
will go "over the top" protected by
clanking steel armor, his body guard
ed by a coat of mail and with hal
berls, spikes, shields and, of course,
stee! helmets contributing to his war
equipment.
Crusader in his own right, his
makeup will bark back to that of the
knights of cid.
Such is the vast change in modern
war methods planned by the war De-
paItment in an official statement
army officers received here today.
Work on baking old war methods
dcve:ail with the new is already un-
der way.
Tools emrioy ed in the making of
armor centuries ago are being em-
ployed to turn out duplicates of old
