A Fight for Life

It has been fight or die for many of us
in the past and the lucky people are
those who have suffered, but who are
now well because they needed natures
warning signal in time to correct their
trouble with that wonderful new dis
covery of DIR. Pierce's, called rAn-u-ric.'
You should promptly heed these warn
ings, some of which are dizzy spells,
backache, irregularty Of the urine or the
painful twinges of rheumatism, sciatica
or lumbago. To delay may make possible
the dangerous forms of kidney disease,
such as Bright's disease, diabetes or
stone in the bladder.
To overcome these distressing condi-
lions take plenty of exercise in the
open air, avoid a heavy meat diet, drink
freely of water and at each meal, take
Doctor Pierce's Anuric Tablets double
strength). You will, in short time, find
that you are one of the firm indorsers Of
Anuric, as are thousands of neighbors.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IowA.--'During the
Civil war I was run over by piece of
heavy artillery. l was injured quite
badly. l seemed to get well OF my injury
has bothered me ever since. My kidneys
become so congested at times that I go
for whole day without excretion. My
back will ache and my bladder will pain
me severely and am miserable until this
condition passes away. I have taken
many kidney medicines but Just recently
! began taking .Anuric and it has been
just fine. only have to take a few
doses when all my trouble passes away.
An-u-ric is the best kidney medicine l
have ever used. Those who suffer with
backache or kidney trouble of any sort
will find Anuric good if they will give it
fair trial.
II have also taken DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and found it equally as
good, and just as represented."-A JUDD,

BELIEVED TROUBLE
is NOW ADJUSTED
Details of SquabbIe Heard at
Large Meeting Held Yesterday
at Chamber of Commerce.

Many of the complications arising
out OF the operations of w r. Moran.
labor recruiter. were adjusted at an
open meeting of the Chamber OF Com
merce yesterday afternoon.
Among those participating were the
city commissioners, employers OF labor.
members of the Chamber OF Commerce.
members of the Self Preservation
Loyalty league representatives OF the

vice.
IL developed that the acrimonions
controversy of the past few days re-
suited from a general misunderstand-
ing and lack of cooperation between
the local representatives OF the United
States employment Service. M
Reports we're brought to the meet
ing That Moran contemplated taking
several hundred 1aborers out of this
section while local concerns are handi-
capped through lack OF help. II was
stated that there is need here at the
present time for 800 laborers, with
vacancies for at least 1000 moro IN
prospect for next week. and as il SEEM
ed entirely contrary to the policy OF
the employment service to carry men
out of the city while local need ex-
listed. the protest was filed
United States District Attorney J. L.
Neeley said that his first desire was
TO see the labor needs of Pensacola
supplied. but that as Moran was a
duly accredited Representatives. the
war department and his work had been
approved by the local office of the
employment service there was no JUS
tification for arrest of the labor re-
cruiter. Mr.. Neeley states that IL the
government needs labor and there are
idle men here, II is wholly proper to
send agents here TO place them where
they will render efficient service in the
winning of the war.
1t then developed that Local Exam
iner G. NJ. Rhodes, of the employment
service, was under the impression that
there are large numbers of idle men
In Pensacola, with all local require
ments supplied, and that IL was upon
such understanding that he approved
the recruiting work of Mr.. Moran
Dan A. Nee. assistant examiner
states that there are applications for
hundreds of iaborers on file in the
local employment office and that az
no time recently have there been less
than 400 untitled applications. Mr.
Rhodes stated that, though he Is i'm
charge OF the office, he did not know
of the applications and when closely
questioned admitted that he was not
entirely familiar with the records of
the local organization
1t developed that there are personal
differences between tn etwo employ
ment service men and that authority
TO solicit labor was granted by Mr.
Rhodes without full knowledge of con-
ditions.
