Hunting Savages Again.

Thanks to the government for with,
holding until after Christmas that bull
letin relative to the brutal murder of a
| captive American soldier by German sol
| dieTs. But now that the day set apart
for expression of kindly human senti-
ment is past, and the brutal thing being
true, it is well TO be brought thus face to
face again with the CHASTITY business that
is before US, that of hunting and sup.
pressing savages.
Our people have had deal of this to
do. School histories, of course, take ac.
count of the greater struggles for the
maintenance of liberty, and most OF us
think little of any but our chief wars,
when thinking on the subject at all. But
what with fighting the Indians, helping
rid the sea of pirates, and, in recent
years, establishing order in the Philip
pines, we have been engaged in the ex-
termination or the suppression of saw
agery pretty much all the time since our
fathers came to these shores. That is a
part of the white mans burden. Now, it
seems, we must so at it again.
Many of US have been loath to believe
the tales of atrocity that have come to
us from Europe. On their face they were
incredible. Besides, out from all the
wars of the past have come Just such
stories. They are part of war propa-
ganda. Always combatants have painted
their adversaries black. So, when we
heard of living children being nailed to
barn doors, some of us were skeptical
But evidence bore down doubt. Struggle
as we might against the horror of be.
lieving a huEdredth part of what we
heard, in the end incredulity became the
mark of obdurate stupidity instead of
large minded charity. At last we under
stood that when the German leaders |
called their men Huns they knew where
Of they spoke.
Yet, after all we have learned OF Ger
man brutishness. we were hardly pre-
pared for any such a manifestation of 1
rowardly savagery as the deliberate cut

Meat Unnecessary
SAYS J. H. WATSON, M. D.

Meat is the most expensive article of
diet, and the least necessary, Add milk,
cheese, fruit, fresh fish, to vegetable ar
ticles and you have a good diet The
rheumatic should abstain from meats, or
eat very sparingly. 1t is a well-known
fact that in govt serious organic disease
of the kidneys occurs. Such scientists as
Futcher, Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and
Reach have shown that uric acid in ex-
/, cess is retained in the blood when the
kidneys do not help excrete this poison.
Uric acid retained within the body il be-
lieved to be the preceding stage or cause
of Bright's disease. The excessive use
of heterogeneous food or meats often in
ereases uric acid.
High living, intestinal Indigestion, con
stipation, disturbance of the liver. FIRE,
quent chilling of the body-all result in
retaining within the body an excess of
uric acid.
The best way to overcome this condi-
tion and prevent rheumatism and govt
is to drink plenty OF water, say, a pint
of hot water morning and night with
lemon juice squeezed into it, and take
Anuric double strength three times a
gay. lhls NaH De ootdHieu AT any drug
store. This is my invariable prescription
for the rheumatic person, and it usually
follows that the rheumatic pains, the
backache, such as lumbago, pains in the
back of the neck OF limbs, win disappear.
This Anurie by its tonic effect upon the
kidneys encourages them TO greater ac-
tivity. and thereby the uric acid is
thrown out of the system. IL Is also
well to prevent constipation and that
greater evil. auto intoxication, to take
bending exercises every morning. plenty
