To Eve
IL the young man cares a great deal
for you he isn't going to run away sim
ply because you refuse to kiss him
good night. He is going to be patient
enough to wait until he can afford to
ask you to marry him and then claim
his kiss. Try to keep him interested by
looking your sweetest and being as
good company as possible when he is
with you. At the same time don I
let him be sure Of you. That's the
best way to hold them.

Treating The Feet.

I THIS time OF the year is a time when
J 1 there is an unusual amount Of foot
trouble. During the winter. the feet
rarely get as much ventilation as
they should. consequently they are
/ less healthy. The low shoes AID the
/ lighter weight shoes OF summer are
much better from the health stand
point, but just now. the feet are apt
to be suffering from the winter.
The best thing in the world TO do
for your feet is to change into low
in from out doors. This airs the feet
and rests them and greatly reduces
the tendency to all the ordinary foot
troubles. The feet should be bathed
daily. the soaking they get while you
are in the tub is not enough. nor is
the hasty rubbing over with a soapy
wash cloth sufficient If the feet are
scrubbed with a flesh brush il is much
better, as il frictions the skin and
stimulates the circulation. which is al
ways sluggish at the eNtremities Of
the body.

BY LEE H. SMITH, NJ. D.

Uric acid is now generally recognized
as the cause of more diseases than was
heretofore believed. When the kidneys
are out of order uric acid accumulates
within the body in super abundance.
The disordered kidneys do not filter
the poisons out of the blood, as they
ought to do, and so the poisons remain
IN the blood and float around until
they find place to lodge, in form OF
urate salts. The thing to remember is
that you may have rheumatism in any
part of the body-you may have pains
anywhere = your back may ache and
your head may be dizzy = but the
trouble is not where the pain appears.
The trouble is in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do2 You must
get that excess uric acid out of your
system, which can be done by taking
Anuric Tablets, the splendid remedy
which DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has put on sale in the drug stores at
a low price. Anuric Tablets made
double strength J, when taken into the
system as medicine, have the peculiar
power of dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop bit of sugar or
salt into hot water, and it will dis
appear. In precisely the same way do
these Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid.
Of course, after Kidding the system of
uric acid, it may return again unless
you eat the right foods and live the
right kind of life, but DIR. Pierce will
advise you fully on proper food and
correct living if you write and ask
him. He makes no charge for such
advice. Take Anurie Tablets to-day,
by all means, and get that uric acid
out of your system. Don't, don't,
don't, put the matter of,
