MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage Is a matter Of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has
weak heart and poor nerves.

take stock of ones condition. If the

edy that was used by everybody nearly

cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic. 1t is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce

Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What Is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty Of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
trial package by sending ten cents to

Something to Worry About.

AS If we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost of living! And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re-
cesses Of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some OF
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plode. One Of them, writing in Pop
ular Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets its finish as the leading figure
In our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side. thus giving its hot
center 1S6,0OO,0OO miles less Of room.
So YOU see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the
three-room apartment couple when WIS.,
iting relatives begin their summer va
cation drives.-Syracuse Journal.

Why Torpedoed Ships Sink.

The committee appointed by the
Council of the Institution of Naval Ar
chitecture to inquire into the effects OF
explosions of mines and torpedoes
upon the structure of merchant ships
find that there are three principal
causes of loss. First, the existence OF
a forward reserve bunker partitioned
off from the cargo hold by a non-wa-
tertight bulkhead. A second cause of
loss is the failure to close the water
tight door in the engine room bulk
head leading to the shaft tunnel. A
third danger lies in the main drain
pipes, leading from the bilge pumps to
the different compartments, and pass
ing through all watertight bulkheads,
which are generally fractured in tor
pedoed compartments. There should
be non-return valves on the end OF
these pipes. The committee recon-
mends that bulkheads should be pro-
tected as far as possible from flying
splinters, at least temporarily, by using
timber or other suitable material as
splinter-screen.-Sci American.

ONLY NEEDS TO BE ROUSED
Under Certain Conditions, Tiger Can

They tell u.s." said Mr.. Blinksome,
"that we all have tiger In US, that we
are all Of us savages under our skin
kept from revealing our true natures
only by the restraining force Of Gus
tom and the law.
"In q general way have always be-
lieved this to be true, and yet have

certain mild-mannered neighbor Of
ours whom we have known for many
years, q man in all circumstances kind,
gentle, forbearing; seeing good in
everyone and willing to make excuses
for everybody. There was one person
who I knew had no tiger.

and picked the paper up again and
read this thing to him. 1t was an
account of something that the Ger
mans had just done.
ut was q circumstantial, careful, ex-
act and apparently truthful statement,
and yet the thing described was some
thing so contrary to all civilized
usages that it seemed incredible, and I
said to him:

ceeded to tell me what he would do

we all have a tiger in us, that there
is no exception; only with some OF
us it takes one thing and with some
another thing to make the tiger
waken."

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overwor ked
organs of the human body, and when
they fail in their work of tiltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton: irritation. or even stone in the blad-
der These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady. Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules. and
save Yourself before it is too, late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous. prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney. bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure. original HARLEM Oil YOUR
at-grandmother used. About two cap.
sules each day will keep you toned uD and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and

Bacon and Beef,

American bacon will be used to
stretch out British beef supplies. The
scheme of rationing, which already is
in operation in London and the sur
rounding countries, is to be extended
at once, and after this only two OF the
four weekly coupons will be available
for the purchase Of butchers meat.
The object is to diminish the demand
for home grown cattle during the
months when these can be fattened on
grass. The new order limits the pur-
chase of beef, mutton and pork to ~
cents a head weekly, but does not af-
feet diners in restaurants and hotels,
who are permitted to exchange cou-
pons for meat meals.
Children over six will be entitled
after April IA to full adult ration
of meat All coupons are cashable for
bacon and poultry.

Boy Was by No Means IdIing, Though
He Did Not Appear Indus
triously Engaged.

Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
told the story at dinner party as
an illustration Of the old saying that
appearances are sometimes deceiving.
One afternoon a woman was walking
through a suburban village when she
noticed a small boy leaning on a gate
in front of one of the residences. The
boys attitude did not betray any great
ambition.
II am surprised to see you stand
ing here, my little man. said the
woman kindly. "Why do you idle
away your time on such a beautiful
afternoon?"
II am not idling," defensively de-
clared the boy. Il am working for
a Thrift stamp"
"WOrking for Thrift stamp?"
wonderingly responded the woman,
who couldn't see any signs of labor.
yes, ma'am," returned the boy.
"NIr Smith is sitting on the veranda
with sister, and he told me that he
would give me the price of a stamp if
1 would watch for father"

Woman Champion Maker of Flies.


The title of worlds champion arti-
fetal fly maker is proudly claimed for
Miss Alice Sherwin Coleman of New
York, who for more than a decade has
been making flies for anglers. Some
idea of her reputation among the dis
ciples of Izaak Walton may be gath
cred from the fact that she and her
assistants make 100000 worth of flies
for fishing enthusiasts every year.
Miss Coleman makes 300 different
varieties of flies regularly summer
and winter, special orders bringing the
number up to 1900 varieties altogether;
for such is Miss Coleman's reputation
that exacting fishermen in the wilds
of America sometimes catch strange
flies that hover over particular streams
and send them alive in ventilated
bottle so that she may study and re-
produce them accurately.
