Killed by Poisons

An scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
The kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
q 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.
II We wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or il we want to increase
our chances for . long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. T., says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure at 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 are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles = where in.
dammation Is set mp.
II We wish to keep our kidneys in the
bsst condition . diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty Of pure
Wates, take Anuric three times day for
month. An.u-ric is many times more
potent than lithia and diseolvea uric
aeid - hot water does sugar.

are common after effects of the dis
ease.
1t Is a foolish mother who says "let
the little ones have measles early and
get over with it," for 1t is in the early
years that the danger from measles is
especially great.
Children under five years particular
~ should be guarded carefully from
the infections of measles.
The most infectious period is in the
catarrhal stage before the rash comes
out. It may be spread also during. the
stage Of eruption. 1t is spread chiefly
from the sick person to the well person
in such ways as these:
BY infection given off by the sick
person in discharges from the nose and
mouth.
By using the same spoons. cups or
other eating utensils which have
been used by the patient before these
things have been scalded or otherwise
disinfected.
BY fingers which may carry the in
lection to ones lips or nose after hav-
ing shaken hands with a measles pa
tient or having handled his soiled
clothing or bedding.
1t may be conveyed by the nurse or
mother who cares for the sick one il
she has not been long or far from the
sick room.
Mosquitoes.
Mrs. II. L. asks: as there any
thing that can be done in the early
spring to prevent a plague OF mos
quitos in the summer? What dis
eases do mosquitoes cause?"
As early as possible see that pools
of water are drained from yards or
vacant lots about your residence. La
ter II large ponds exist Oil the surface
repeatedly. (2) Malaria and yellow

MISS CREIGHTON ID
 LEAVE FUR COLLEGE

Miss Mary Creighton. daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. M. Creighton, will leave this evening to enter the Vassar Nurses Training school. The Vassar school is open only to college gradu ates, and the three months course at the college will shorten one year.. the training which will be completed at the Bellevue hospital, New York. At the end of her two years training, if the war is not over, Miss Creighton will offer her services to her country.
 A graduate of the University of Illi- nois and an unusually clever girl, she has been a valuable member of the teaching staff of the schools of Mari copa county. Last season she taught at Pendergast, resigning at the end of the term a few days ago.
 Miss Creighton, like her sister, Mrs. Andrew Baumert, is a great favorite with all who know her. She will be greatly missed, although her legion of friends delight in her patriotism, which prompted her to take up the work which the nation is urging.
