Killed by Poisol1s

All scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as a 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.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for a long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y, 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
flammation is set up.
live wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric double strength }
three times day for month. Anuric
is many times more potent than lithia.
Send DR.. V. NJ. Pierce, Buffalo, N Y,
ten cents for trial package of anuric.

Wouldn't Keep Sugar He Found.

Washington has another honest
man. He's Edward B. Maddox, who
after suffering for the last two months
from the sugar famine, turned $40
pounds of the precious stuff" over
to the Washington police. He had
found a barrel of granulated sugar
near the substation Of the Potomac
Electric company. Evidently the bar.
rel had been dropped by truck. Mad
dox has been able to get less than two
pounds Of brown sugar week, he
said. The amount of sugar he found,
on the war basis, would have lasted
him four years. He was not regret
full, however, that he had turned the
sugar over TO the police to find its
rightful owner-Washingto Times.

ADVANCE IN COST OF LIVING IS SHOWN
In COMPARISON OF WHOLESALE PRICES
MADE BY BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

A study of wholesale. prices during
1915, covering 342 important commod-
tiles. or series of quotation, is con-
tanned in Bulletin 226 just issued by
the bureau Of labor statistics Of the
United States department of labor.
This report is the latest one of a
series published annually since 1902.
In addition to detailed data for 1916
average prices are shown for each
year back to 1890 1t is of especial in
terest as showing the changes in
Wholesale prices during the second
year of the war, while the United
States was still neutral, and because
OF the large amount of detailed infor-
nation which it presents. Those who
may wish to trace the movement of
prices in 1917 after the United States
entered the war may readily do so
by consulting the Monthly Review
published by the bureau, the issue for
February, 1918, giving figures for
, each month of 1917.
Bulletin 226 shows that the upward
movement of wholesale prices which
began in the latter part of 1915 con-
| tinued without interruption through
the whole of 1916, becoming most pro-
nounced in the closing months of the
year. In December the weighted in
dex number for all the articles stud,
led stood at 11S as compared with SO
in January. indicating an average in
crease in wholesale prices of nearly
80 per cent. and the increase over the
level Of prices in December, 1914,
was more than 40 per cent.
During 1916 phenomenal advances
were recorded in the prices of many
commodities belonging to the groups
designated as farm products, food
cloths and clothing, fuel and lighting
and metals and metal products. In
December as compared with January
there was an increase OF 80 per cent

steadily in price, being q per cent
higher in December than in January.
Of 342 comparative price series secured
by the bureau for 1915 and 1916, 31S
showed increases in the latter year,
Is showed decreases, and IL showed
no changes.
Considering tie figures for 1917 as
shown by Information published in the
Monthly Review, pronounced in
creases took place during the first
eight months, the advance from March
to May being particularly noticeable
among farm products and articles
used for food. From June to August
there were declines in the food and
the fuel and lighting groups, and con-
sidered in the aggregate September
prices were below those of the preced-
! ing three months. From October to
| November most commodities increased
sharply in price but there were de-
| Clines in metals and metal products
and in drugs and chemicals. Com
! pairing December with January, 1917,
there was an advance of 80 per cent in
average wholesale prices of farm pro-
ducts. % per cent in food, % per cent
in cloths and clothing, p per cent in
lumber and building materials, so per
cent in drugs and chemicals, 81 per
cent in houes furnishing goods, and
| 20 per cent in miscellaneous articles.
On the other hand, there was a de-
crease of 10 per cent for the fuel and
lighting group and 5 per cent for
metals and metal products. For all
commodities there was an increase of
81 per cent in December as compared
with January. Average wholesale
prices for the year 1917 were rs per
cent higher than those for 1918, the
year before the war began.
! Figures published in recent num-
bers of the Monthly Review furnish a
comparison of wholesale and retail
price changes among % important
food commodities. These figures show
that since the beginning of 1917 the
retail prices Of most of these commod-
tiles have fiuctuated at a relatively
lower level, as compared with prices
in 1913, than have pholesale prices
This is particularly true of bacon, lard
