WASTING THE PEOPLES MONEY

The government is preparing to
put out another bond issue. The
cost Of floating about $4,000, 00O,-
600 of liberty bonds so far issued
reaches the sum Of $30,O00.000. OF
this amount, only a relatively small
proportion was spent for engraving,
paper and print. The chief expense
was due to the official schemes for
advertising the loans. No money for
this purpose was paid to the news
papers and other periodicals. They
periodically devoted countless pages
of valuable space to pushing the loans
and made no charge. Even tho II
had paid at liberal rate for such
advertisements these would have
proved less costly and more effective
than the multifarious expedients
which were resorted to. Among these
were posters, pamphlets, folders,
hand bills, cards, auto markers, plac-
ards, pastors. Liberty bell hangers,
inserts, lantern slides, motion pic
lures, novelties, rubber stamps, Kais-
er collars, arm bands, billboard signs,
foreign language appeals, electric
signs, tickers, theatre programs,
transparency covers, window hang
ers and window displays. The fuss
and litter connected with all this
were immense. Could great nation
have done anything more undignified
than to stoop to these catch dollar
devices which were an extravaganza
and waste? Moreover, the appeals
were so numerous and surfeiting that
their effect was largely deadened.

Weekly Health Talks
WORD ABOUT THE KlDMEYs
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 diseased 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 resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that q certain COM
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate saltsl 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. II 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 be viii tell you what to eas
and how 70 live 90 that more uric acid
will not form in your system. Dr.. Pierce
will not charge for this advice.
