II was hoped that the sales on the
loose floors for the past week would
reach 2.o00,0 900 pounds sold but the
tobacco buyers and the auetioneer
did all they could. In fact everyone
did all he could. Men labored from

has never been such a rush on the
market here rs the past three or four
days.
The market for the week is not only
the largest in pounds for more than
one season but the weekly average
in price is i2e higher than any week
this season. The nearest approach
TO this was one week in February
when the average reached si4.49.
Also the highest price Of the season
was equaled this week when tobacco
brought $3.50.
The report itself will best tell the
story. The sales this season exceed
those up to this date last year by

tobacco in the city this morning un-
sold to increase the total for this
season to 20 millions. The repor,

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE
AND HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line repre-
sent the pick of our American youth.
One in four of our boys at home
was sick, rejected because of physi-
cal deficiency. Many times the kid
neys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age
coming on too soon, or If we want
to increase our chances for long
life, Or. Pierce of the Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, n. V, says that you
should drink plenty Of water daily
between meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric
double strength. This An-u-ric
drives the uric acid out and cures
backache and rheumatism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in
the best condition a diet of milk
and vegetables, with only little meat
once a day, is the most suitable,
Drink plenty of pure water, take
Anuric three times a day for a
month.
Step into the drug store and ask
| for Anuric, or send DR.. Pierce l0c
| for trial pkg. Anuric, many times
more potent than lithia, eliminates
uric acid as hot water meltS sugar
A short trial will convince you.

AMERICAN SHIP
ARMENIA BEACHED
LIES ON BRITISH COAST AS
RESULT OF TWO
ATTACKS.

An Atlantic Port, March 6.-The
american steamship Armenia, for
|merly 4 German merchantmen, lies
beached and badly damaged on the
British coast after being torpedoed
lby 4 German submarine, it was
learned with the arrival OF the Ar
|menia's crew here today.
The attack took place Feb. 9,
'about three weeks after Secretary
daniels made public the details Of
"a similar attack on the Armenia in
December.
Sailors arriving today, IS in num-
Der, said that after the Armenia, Of
5,464 tons gross, was torpedoed, the
first time, in the English channel
Dec. ;, she was beached and tenn
porarily repaired by means Of a
wooden patch placed over the hole.
Most OF the cargo was saved.
The Vessel renewed her voyage on
Feb. g, bound for British dry
dock for repairs. At 12:45 o'clock
the ncNc morning L U-boat again
sent a torpedo into her hull and
Regain she was forced to beach, the
Srew said, and it was a question
whether she could be saved.
The Armenia left Baltimore with
grain LAST November for a Euro
pean port.
Secretary Daniels on Jan. 20
made public some extracts of the
report OF the Armenia's commander
regarding the first attack. These
showed that the armed guard stuck
to their guns and the wireless oper-
ator to this apparatus and that the
crew displayed GOODNESS throughout.

Texas legislature overruled a
point OF order by Representative

would prevent the manufacture, sale

poned until later in the day to al
low committees to reconcile differ
ences in several statutory prohibi-
ton bills that have been offered. A
