Americans, and so much American ma

English, Italian. French, Belgium, Por-

Daily Health Talks

BY LEE Il. SMITH, N. 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 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. Y,
has put on sale in the drug stores at
low price. Anuric Tablets (made
double strength, when taken into the
system as medicine, have the peculiar
power of dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop a 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 tho
right kind of life, but DR.. 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 Anuric Tablets to-day,
by oil means, and get that uric acid
out of your system. Don't, don't,
don't, put the matter off.

Farmers Sou Spring Wheat Acreage

with wheat unusually high for

will be high priced. This will make
stock feeding expensive and the con-
sumner must pay the price.
But l candidly can see no way out
OF the dilemma. If we paid $2.26 for

I'VE know of cases where farmers

There is nothing else for the gov

Franchise League Head
Who Speaks Here Feb. IS
Opposes Militant Methods

Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru. state
president Of the Woman's Franchise
league, who Is to speak at the Fran
chise league tea Saturday at the Art
gallery. has been given much Of the
credit for the recent suffrage victory
in Indiana.
Since Mrs. Edwards became presi-
dent of the league the membership
campaign. which gained thousands OF
new members in the state, and the
monster suffrage petition which served
to influence many doubtful legislative
members into voting for the measure,
have been instrumental In bringing
Indiana into the ranks of suffrage
states.
With her ability as an organizer and
her courage as a worker, Mrs. Edwards
is charming, feminine person, with
a delightful personality. She has often
repeated her opposition to all mill
tant and antagonistic measures.

OHIO STOCK GROWERS
TO GET CLAIMS FOR
ANIMALS KILLED

COLUMBUS, Feb. 1.-THE general
assembly recessed yesterday afternoon
to hear the plan Of committee rep
resenting Cleveland bankers for flnan-
cial relief Of cities, postpon1ng until
today a vote on the Christian Science
bill
Amendment Of the Smith lay ex-
empting interest and sinking fund
charges from the limitations of the
Smith one per cent law was urged.
Repeal Of the present law and giving
cities the power to borrow in antici-
patton Of tax levies was commended.
For permanent relief the committee
suggested and urged the resubmission
of an amendment to the constitution
providing for classification Of property
for taxation. The committee did not
favor an income tax unless classified
ton is adopted.
A graduated lineal inheritance tax
also was favored. Adoption Of con-
stitutional amendment limiting mu-
nicipal debt, the submission of pro-
posed bond issues at regular elections
and that school boards be divorced
from the county budget committees
were among other recommendations
made.
Legislators are having hard time
roofing the teaching Of German from
the elementary school grades; not be-
cause they don't want to do it. but
how to do 1t without prohibiting the
teaching Of other foreign languages
also. The bill by Representative Com.
ings, of Lorain county, which seeks
to expel German from the elementary
grades, has been up for passage in the
house twice, but each time it was
found to be in such unsatisfactory
condition that 1t was sent back to the
public schools committee for revision.
To provide work for the unemployed
and as recognition of the need of
good roads, the. state senate today
adopted the resolution by Representa-
tive Beetham, of Harrison county, ask
Ing congress to appropriate $1,000
100000 for road building throughout
the nation during the next five years.
The resolution has already been adop-
ted by the house.

who have had claims against the state
for three years for animals killed by
the state department of agriculture
because of prevalence of the foot and

be able to collect their accounts. The
senate today passed the bill provid-
ing for payment in full of all the claims
aggregating more than $25O,00O. The
bill now goes to the governor for his
signature.

HOUSE PASSES
Amendment FOR
STATE SUFFRAGE
Measure Must be Passed by
Next Assembly and Ratified
by People.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 12- The
house by vote of 81 to 0 passed the
Beardsley senate joint resolution to
amend the state constitution to grant
suffrage to women and to prevent
aliens from voting.
In order to become effective the
resolution also must be passed by the
next general assembly in 1921 and rati
fled by vote of the people.
There was no debate on the resolu.
ton when 1t was handed down by
Speaker Eschbach on third reading.
1t had been taken for granted that it
would pass and since final decision
rests with the next Legislature, hard.
ly ripple preceded the roll call.
The provision of the resolution bar
ring aliens from voting requires a per
son must be full-fledged citizen be-
fore he may cast his ballot instead of
according the privileges to an alien,
who has taken out his papers and de-
clared his intention of becoming a
citizen.
Mrs. Richard e. Edwards Of Peru.
president of the Woman's Franchise
League Of Indiana, made the following
statement regarding the action Of the
legislature in passing the resolution:
PIed8S0 at ne0UUt
THE wonderful success of suffrage
in Indiana far overshadows our defeat
in the United States senate. There
could be no clearer evidence of the
progressiveness of the Hoosier state
than the fact that today our amend
ment to the state constitution grant.
ing women the right to vote in Indiana,
and what is equally important for our
state, combining the. right to vote to
citizens, passed the house unanimous
ly. / am more pleased with the fact
that 1t was unanimous, that both par
ties are united behind this great cleo
toral reform, than with any other de-
velopment of our suffrage campaign.
1T is not too much to say that we
have had support and, help from prac.
tically every man of great political
prominence in the state. No one who
has been appealed to has refused his
assistance, and 1t argues well for the
success of the measure in another Leg
islature, and at the time of the refer
endum vote, that the legislature, both
Democrats and Republicans, the lead
ers of the state and the press of the
state, were all Of one mind in this
matter

mands for cheaper bread going up
from industrial centers, where unem-
ployment is increasing, congress will
be in the midst of a struggle with this
economic question about the time
President Wilson arrives from Eur
ope with millennial plans in his poe
ket.
From all the agrarian constituencies
come the tiding that the farmers, with
a bumper winter wheat crop planned,
are putting every available foot OF
soil into spring wheat in order to
garner the wartime price of 1926
bushel. Acreage of corn oats. and
other cereals is being considerably re-
stricted in favor of the more profitable
wheat.
, React in High Meat Prices.
It is admitted that short crops Of
stock feeding grains will make less
beef and pork and continued high
prices for meats. Some statesmen
foresee so large crop of wheat and
SO great a drop In the market price
that the 1000, 100000 1t Is proposed
to appropriate will be insufficient TIC
cover the loss to the government oc
casioned by paying the farmer the
guaranteed price and selling the wheat
to the consumer at the market price
Other statesmen predict that the
foreign demand will be such that the
market price will not decline greatly
below the guaranteed price, in which
event the loss paid by the taxpayers
will be small, but bread not much
cheaper.
Proposals Of Relief.
Various remedies for the situation
have been suggested. One, that spring
wheat which has not been planted,
Re exempted from the guarantee on
the theory that this is contract
with the farmers which may be can
celed like other war contracts now
being Cancelled wholesale. With the
guaranteed price applying to winter
wheat only, the government loss would
be considerably reduced and stock
feeding grains would not be sacri-
feed to wheat This suggestion finds
little support in congress save among
representatives without farmer con.
stituents.
Another proposal is that the wheat
price guaranteed be limited to the
acreage OF last year and probably will
be offered as an amendment to the
81, 000, 100000 wheat bill which it is
planned to attach as rider to the
agriculture appropriation bill, with the
southern Democrats contemplating a
rider to the rider in the shape of a
government bonus of $500, 900 or
Whereabouts to the cotton planters.
Wheat is the gold standard OF
