The vessels are being turned out with
great rapidity and the cumulative re-

steadily become more apparent.
Mr.. Hurley's address in part fol-
lows:
There were 81 steel shipyards in
America at the time of our entrance
into war. We have located 81 add1-

other yards have been expanded.
The total amount of our steel con-
struction on March l was S,2O5, 7O8
lightweight tons. This is made up of
5,16O,300 lightweight tons under con-
tract with the Emergency Fleet Cor

"Of this total steel construction
2,121, 568 lightweight tons, or approx

"Of the amount of steel ships under
contract and under requisitiOn, $685.

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

Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot

an Attack Of Vertigo. IN
When any one feels dizzy and per-
haps almost about to faint his brain
cannot properly control the working Of
his eyes. They may move round from

as II things were spinning around.
Another reason for dizziness has to
do with wonderful part of the body
near the ear and without which none
Of us could sit upright, much less
stand, though few people have ever
heard of it, This organ, which used to
be thought to have something to do
with hearing, really controls our bal
ance. In some people 1t is affected by
disease, and these people constantly
suffer from dizziness and feeling that
everything is spinning round and
round.
As every one knows. we can make
ourselves dizzy and SO think every
thing is spinning round by whi1ms
around ourselves several times in one
direction. This dlsturbs the organ OF
balance, and this disturbance gives us
the feeling. II you turn round the
