WHY the Sugar Bombardment'

refined breadstutfs, refined breakfast foods
and meats enormous quantities of acd-pro-
duclng foods the sugar bombardment becomes
threatening in the extreme.

expresses the facts exactly. In our excessive
consumption of refined foods we are lombard

LACE beauty, and everywhere in life

everywhere you will find the truth. See
the goodness, and from every life goodness

you. Give hatred, indifference scorn, and
your return is hatred, indifference or scorn.

Luminous Bacteria.

There is a striking article in Knowl-
edge on luminous bacteria. Mr.. Bar
nard, who writes the article, includes
careful directions as to how the light
producing bacteria may be obtained
and grown. These bacteria emit light
that is produced entirely by themselves
altogether independently of any AZ
traneous light source; in fact, they
grow and produce light better if kept
entirely in the dark. Their efficiency
as light producers is extremely high,
and were it possible to carry out on
a commercial scale the process of light
production as it occurs in bacteria q
tremendous step forward would be TAX
en-. The natural habitat of these or
ganisms seems to be almost exclusive
ly sea water, or at least water such
as is found in %estuaries where an ap-
probable quantity Of saline matter is
present. The most easily produced
organisms of this group is the photo
bacterium phosphorescens. 1t may be-
obtained from a dead herring or mack.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
The promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly TO a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
In endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation T have sold for many years
md never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, c%orrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Farm Lands for Soldiers,


A special from Washington says:
There is lots of talk about the plans
of the departments of the interior and
labor to settle the returning soldiers
on lands that are nov unused. As has
been reported before, agents are at
work in Southern states, locating
tracts of tilable soil. The investi-
cation and inspection service is now
going into North and South Carolina
with agents to list unoccupied disable
farm lands by county, township and
section, giving the nearest market and
nearest %postoffice address, and fur
ther identifying the land by the name
Of the owner. This will be supple
mented by statements covering the
entire county, as to the general topog-
raphy, nature Of the soil, etc. This
information will then be in the de-
partment of labor so that the return
ing soldier or any other person seeking
employment through the land will be
able to locate definitely where these
unoccupied lands are.

Rheumatism ?

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, "Anuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for vAnuric" for kidneys
or backache. 1t will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night.
