ST PAUL SKIS IN DEMAND
Record Performances Have Been
Made on Articles Produced is
the Minnesota City.

St. Paul-made skis hold the mark
cor the longest jump in the world,
that set by Henry Hall at Steam
boat Springs, Colo, when he made
2O3 feet and remained standing at
the finish Of the slide.
At the national ski tournament
in Chicago last year the champion
ships in the professional, amateur
and boys classes all were won on St.
Paul-made skis.
The st. Paul product is sold
from Maine to Los Angeles-yes,
they sell them in Los Angeles for
use in the mountains-and quanti-
ties 90 to Alaska and northern Can
ada.
Aside from the sport, skis are
being used more generally than
ever by ranchers, stockmen and for
est rangers, and by western tele.
phone ard telegraph repair men
Minnesota farmers, for example
find them an excellent thing to use
when the roads are impossible, in
going to the various feeding sheds
on their farms in winter.
St. Paul's ski factory turns out
more SKIS than any other factory in
the world. Toboggans also are
made there in large numbers.
The city's output of skis for 1918
was $4,000 pairs, and of toboggans
10000. The volume of business
was 100000.

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
ihink something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have q duty
of vital importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When the kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where. and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form cf urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago.
sciatica and baekache. Finally, come stons
in the bladder, diabetes and Rrizht's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, n Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain eombina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He foand this
combination to be harmless, SO that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system al
hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce.
too. and he will tell you what to eat and
how to live SO that more uric acid will not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for this advice.

TEE RIVERS CHANGE.
s. hAN @AIM1pQyGR

''They don't think" said the river
to the ice which had formed over it,
that river can do things different
ly at different times. And then If a
river has done the same thing for
years and years and years they get
the idea it can't change its ways"
'Do you mean people?" asked the
Ice.
Il do" said the river Il feel so nice
and warm under here" it added. Il
like this for change"
well, if people fell through me
and reached you they wouldn't think
you were so nice and warm" And the
ice laughed. 1t made very queer
sounds, and If it hadn't been so very
thick and strong, people would have
said the ice was dangerous" at that
part.
They're going to have fine winter
sports" said the river. They're 60
ing to 90 ice-boating and skating, and
all sorts of things. That is, they're
going to do that up on the lake. You
know l start from the lake, and l go
on and on and on"
where do you go on to-? asked
the ice.
II go on and on, through valleys and
meadows and under bridges and past
towns, and at last l pass through a
city-not right in the center of the
city, but by one side of the city
and then go on a little farther; yes,
a little farther, until I reach the great
ocean"
"What wonderful thing it must be
to be a river" said the ice. "You
start In lake and you end off in the
ocean. You know what it is to have
a beautiful and quiet lake for friend,
and you also know what 1t is to have
the big ocean for friend. The ocean
is 50 tremendous"
"Yes," said the river, "it's a good
size, all right enough, and the other
side Of it cannot be seen. Not even
with the big glasses which people look
through. Now the lake can be seen
so well, all around it and from the
head to the foot"
"The lake hasn't head or a foot"
said the ice.
cit has one end and another end"

head and the foot"
II see," said the ice.
This is what they call my source.
l rise in the lake, and for the first time
in my history I've frozen over"
"Indeed" said the ice. "Well. I'm
honored."
Il thought you had such nice and
cooling ways" said the river. "Usu-
ally folks like creatures and things
who have nice and affectionate, friend
ly ways, but I like good, cold COW

"And you say that this is the first
time that you have become frozenr
repeated the ice.
1.-The very first" said the river
again.
"It's a cold winter" said the ice.
''It's going to keep on being cold, I'm
told. Take yesterday, for example;
1t was as cold as day could be, and
now today it Is just as cold"
Its a glorious change for me-" said
