murder trial of Polna, 1899. which re-
suited in sentencing the innocent Leo

muted by the late Emperor Francis
Joseph to life imprisonment fron{
which lIilsner was not released until
last year, The situation is therefore
iran:ht with grave pcrils from both
sides, snd perhaps even more so than
in Poland. where the Jews are living
in such compact masses so as to make,
their weight felt in political lifa

At the last meeting of the Board OF

How One Man Built His House.

The January Farm and Fireside, now
being published monthly instead of twice
a month, says;
In working out the preliminary ideas
| have kept in mind compactness of plan
and the best results for the least expen-
diture of money. Doors are used from
stock sizes, so as not to increase the cost
by the employment of designs made es
pecially. Wherever it is possible sashes
and glass are selected from stock pat
terms. The appearance of the exterior is
not buried in the zeal to economic. The
main roof projects four feet beyond the
walls This is an excellent feature both
as a protection from leaking cutters and
as shade from the hot, burning sun. A
double row of dentils was run under the
overhanging roof for ornamentation. The
hanging cutters are nodded galvanized
iron, and they have the appearance of
hidden cutters. Green stain is applied
to the shingles on all the roofs. The
body of the house is painted light gray
and the trimmings are touched up with
white except the front porch ratings
This is built of shingles on both sides
and stained green to match the roof An
inviting entrance greets one ascending
the front porch steps. 1t contains a door
with sidelights, and the entire design is
oak stained dark and then vanished.
Unique porch columns support the roof
Of the main porch. They are constructed
IF square posts paneled and then half
round columns secured to them. The
dea is to breaking away from the trite
md cheap porch columns and vet have
something attractive but not expensive"

ADDRESS LETTERS CAREFULLY.
Hundreds of Letters Are Now Held at

special pains to address the letters ade
quately. If an exact address cannot be
obtained and il is necessary for any
reason to address the letter care of the
American embassy in London" all pos
sible details regarding the person ad
dressed should be given on the face of
the envelope for the assistance of the
embassy authorities.
There are now lying at the American
embassy here hundreds of letters which
have been addressed casually care Amer
lean embassy and which the embassy
officials have no way of delivering. If
the senders had even indicated whether
the person addressed was in the army.
the navy, the aviation corps or the ma
ture of his business in London, there
might have been a chance of the letter
finding its way, but without any such
particulars, the likelihood of its reaching
its destination is rather remote.
Some people at home seem to think
that the American embassy in London is
a small compact office where is kept a
card index of all Americans abroad. As
matter of fact the American embassy
in London has expanded since the war
until il occupies a half dozen scattered
buildings and employs several hundred
clerks and secretaries. Americans who
call at the embasAy usually have bust
ness with only one department and the
clerks who have charge of the casual mail
are extremely unlikely to hear their

Social Democrat and therefore in prin-
ciple am opposed to war.
Before the war | was one of the many
Alsace- Lorraine politicians who were con.
tent to limit our national program to an
autonomy within the boundaries of the
German empire From this it must not
be gathered that we had forgotten that
in 1871 our right as a nation to self
definition had been violated by Bismark.
No, we were willing to limit our demands
for the sake of peace, that was all. We
knew that we could be reunited to France
only at the price of war and we wished
to avoid that"
He further explains the reason why
the people of Alsace Lorraine do not wish
to and cannot become Germans. Our
national culture is French, not German
descent. in language and in history we
are Germans. This, however, is untrue,
or only partly true.
Admitted that the great majority of
our population is mixture of German
and Celtic races, as is also the case of a
good part of the population of north and
west France; admitted also that con-
part of the population speaks
in the Alsacian dialect, which is a branch
Of the German language. Nevertheless,
our history has removed us far from the
German root and has made us French.

The Cause of Gout
Bright's Disease,
Rheumatism
(By Valentine NJ. Pierce, NJ. D.

According to the consensus of opinion
of most medical men and scientists, such
as Garrod, Minkowski, Hans, Vogt and
Reach, the cause of govt is due to an ac-
emulation of uric acid in the blood. The
same effect happens in rheumatism, and
preceding the stage known as Bright i
disease an auto-intoxication process has
been going on, the liver and kidneys
could not do the work and the individual
suffers the consequences. High living,
the eating of meat more than once a day,
over-eating, frequent chilling of the body
all may contribute to the poisoning.
In such cases the very best treatment
is to prevent or remove the cause. Diet
and exercise if possible; drink plentiful
ly of water-a pint of hot water with a
piece of lemon squeezed into it morning
and night, and take before meals a tab
let of Anuric double strength. This
Anuric can be obtained at almost all drug
stores. and il drives the uric acid out of
the system by stimulating the kidneys
to better action. Thus many cases of
govt. of rheumatism or Bright's disease
NAV be prevented or cured by taking
this simple remedy in time, and in the
painful and serious cases of rheumatism
and govt it invariably relieves and often
cures the worst cases.
When your kidneys feel like humps of
lead when your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment. or you are

that Anuric Is more potent than lithia

sedition, paeiiism or anti Americanism

the clerical cloth; and that the rule oil

! This is mildly restating a point which
! The Herald has emphasized from time TO
