traits of the Tsar, the Tsarina and the
Tsarevitsch were typical of the Russian
culture of that time. The rooms large

Kovno is typical Russian town,
with low, mean wooden houses and
comparatively wide streets. From the
hills which closely encircle the town
there is an interesting view of the
town and the confluence of the Niemen
and the Villa. On the further bank of
the Niemen there stands the tower Of
and old German castle of the Teutonic
knights, a symbol of German civiliza-
ton in the east, and not far from it
there is a memorial of French schemes
for the conquest of the world; that hill
upon which Napoleon stood in 1872 as
he watched the great army crossing
the river.
HAPPY FUTURE FOR GERMANY
My mind was flooded with over
wheIming historical memories. L de-
termined to resume in the occupied
territory that work of civilization at
which the Germans had labored in those
lands for many centuries. The popula-
ton, made up as it lis of such a mix
ture of races, would never accomplish
anything of it's own accord, and left
TO itself would suecumb to Polish DOM
inatiOn.
1 was proud to think that, over a
hundred years ago, after period of
great weakness and tribulation in
Germany we had thrown off the for
eign yoke. Now that same Germany
first beaten by Napoleon because she
was decadent and subsequently united
by the efforts of a few great men,
stood victorious in this world war
against enemies who far outnumbered
her and added fresh glories to her re-
cord
I had faith in final victory. Moth
ing else was possible. The German
people had been through too much
already to expose themselves again to
such a terrible fate. The men who
were leading Germany only needed to
: develop her latent powers to add fuel
to the holy fire burning-as 1 then
thought-in every German heart.
A happy future of assured prosperity
seemed to be opening out for the Faith
erland.

Test Rings for

In canning. rubber rings play a
very important part. A good jar, a
perfect hitting smooth cap. and a
good rubber are necessary to make

In cold pack canning the ring
must be of the best material for j:

temperature for two or three hours,
or FIVE TO Is pounds steam pressure

rubbers will withstand such tenn
peratures.
Test the rubbers before using and
so preventsto a great extent the
possibility of having TO change rub
bers which have bulged or split
during processing and re-sterilize
the cans from five TO Is minutes.
The following tests are very simple

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

People are easily frightened when they
think 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 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 of 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 backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that a certain combina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. He found 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 as
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.

Mothers who are in quest of some
thing new in clothes for the little
chap of three or four years might con-
slider the two little Oliver Twist suits
pictured on the engaging little fellow
above. The suit at the left is in blue
chambray with waist of white lawn,
and whether 1t is intended to make
the little boy look girlish or to make
q little girl look boyish, is question
that only its designer can settle.
The square cutout in the front Of
the little garment reveals a lawn
blouse having collar and cuffs edged
with a anticipated ruffie. These
frills, and the little French knots and
ornamental stitches at the neck open
ing, are rather unusual on boys toys.
But there are shallow, slit pockets at
each side, set at boyish angle.
Clothes so indefinite in character
might be conveniently interchange
able In large family.
The suit at the right has decided
" masculine air and leaves no doubt
