Fichtner left Topeka in September.
1917, for Camp Doniphan, Okla, with
the headquarters company of the 100
field artillery. In May, 1918. he sailed
for France, and soon after his arrival
was transferred to Battery B of the
same regiment. He was in active
service until october 10, 1918, when
he contracted pneumonia and was re-
moved to base hospital No. AZ, near
Paris, where he remained until No
vember 20, when he was sent home
with 400 other sick or wounded SOL
diers on board the navy transport De
Kalb. The De Kalb was at one time
the German raider Printz Eitel Fried
rich.
For four days during the voyage the
transport was lost in a heavy storm,
and Capt. James A. Alger was obliged
to steer the ship by dead reckoning
during that time. Nevertheless the
De Kalb arrived safe at Hoboken, N.
J., December IS, 1918.
Fichtner was sent with $50 other
men to Fort Logan, Little Rock, Ark,
and later to Camp Funston, Kan, at
which place he received his discharge
from the army February 7, 1919, and
returned to Topeka the same day.

Only Miracle Could Have Saved
Haskell From Defeat.
Ichabods Pile Up % Points
Against the Redskins Is.

1t would have taken special dis
pensation from the gods that control
the destinies of basket ball teams to
give Haskell a win over the Washburn
five in the game played on the Icha-
bod court Friday night. The final
count was Washburn 27 and Has
kelI Is.
The game was rough from the first
whistle, and time and again the
referee was forced to call personal
fouls. Neither side had any edge on
the other in the display of rough
tactics-s In fact players on both sides
seemed to have shan. ned their teeth
in preparation fora fight. On two or
three occasions encounters seemed
impossible to avoid. but the game
went to the final whistle without more
than the threat of combat rousing the
expectancy of the audience.
Leads From Whistle.
.Washburn went into the lead at the
start, Lindell and Sharp dropping
three field goals each in the first
frame. and Poort hoped one Lin
dell also dropped four free throws
thru the iron in the half. Haskell got
two field goals and six free throws in
the first half The second half was a
bit slower in the scoring but more
full of rough tactics.
Lindell and Sharp were the stars
for the locals, with McLemore play
ing the most consistent game for the
braves.

At the Orphcun.

Eye for Eye" is the super-feature
in (which the distinguished and tall
ent I'd actress Nazimova is starred and
is the attraction at the Orpheum
theater four days, beginning Monday.
The picture is a screen adaptation of
the stage play, 'L'Occident,'' but Ma
zimova did not consider the French
title good one TO use and so adapted
the biblical words IAN eye for an eye,
a tooth for a TOOTH" which expresses
the idea of the plot where young
Arabian girl wishes to take revenge
into her own hands and demand IAN
eye for an eye,'' without the formality
of the law of the land in which she
lived. Does the thought of the Orient
the far and mysterious East, fasci
nate you? Have you ever longed to
see the blue Mediterranean the flow
ing colorful land of the Arab and
Egyptian, Mohammedan and other
tribes of Northern Africa? If you
wish to enjoy a story of mystery, ro-
nance and passion, see the mystic
and enhancing NaZimova in Eye for
Eye" which will be shown at the Or
pheum the first half of the week.
Something new. novel and fascinating
will be shown the first half of the
week in the way of a one-reel subject,
which is the latest release from the
famous Pathe Mechanical department.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
,r ~ cHrrrrr Ar n

URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH. M. D.
Uric acid. is now generally recogn-
lied 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 a place to lodee
in form. of urate. salts. The him to
remember is that you may have rheu-
matism in any part of the body-you
may have pains anywhere-your back
may ache and your head may be dizzy
i;-but the trouble Is not where the
pain appears. The trouble is in the
kidneys, and what is the first thing to
do? 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. T., has put on sale In the
! drug stores at a low price. Anuric
Tablets (made double strength), when
taken into the system as medicine,
have the peculiar power of dissolving
the uric acid deposited there. Drop q
bit of sugar or salt into hot water, and
1t will disappear. In precisely the
same way do these Anuric Tablets dis
solve uric acid. Of course, after
Kidding the system of uric acid, 1t
may return again unless you eat the
right foods and live the right kind OF
life, but DR.. Pierce will advise you
fully on proper food and correct living
il you write and ask him. He makes
no charge for such advice. Take
Anuric Tablets today, by all means
and get that uric acid out Of your sys-
tenn. Don't, don't, don't, put the mat
! ter of.
