Weekly Health Talks
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE II. SMITH, NJ. D.

Uric acid is now generally recog-
nized 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 roisons 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
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 nche 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 sys-
TEN, 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 az medicine, have
the peculiar power of dissolving the uric
acid deposited there. Drop bit of sugar
or salt into hot water, and it will disap-
pear. In precisely the same way do these
Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid. OF
course, after ridding the system of uric
acid, it 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 to-
day, by all means, and get that uric >eid
out of your system. Don't, don't, don't,
put the matter OF.

SCOUTS A NATIONAL FACTOR.

"War has certainly brought to the

but believe much greater gain, and

II marched for two and half miles
in great parade at the head Of the
San Diego council and the boy scouts,

the thousands of spectators who lined
the streets while the procession passed

ARMY MEN AS sCOUTMAsTERS

"Don't take of the khaki, just

will appeal to returned and retired Of

Maj. Gen. G. M. Clement of Sunbury,
Pa. is at the present time the first
army officer to accept this new scout
slogan for himself.
General Clement has recently re-
turned from active service on the
western battle front.
The acceptance Of position as

tiplicity of duties.
There are at present over $4,000
boy scouts with their leaders. Appli-
cations are coming in to national head
quarters at the rate Of about 1000 a
day. The government wants the scouts
to grow, and there would be several
million Of these organized boys in
khaki If there were the men to lead
the troops.
Returning army men can find in this
a great opportunity. The scout uni
form. in fact, is much like the army
uniform and is authorized under Sec
tion 125. Of the army reorganization

One problem the taxpayers Of Ken
lucky, particularly those who have
children In the public schools and those
who teach, can not solve, Is this:
Given the largest amount of taxes
in the history of the state, why has
the present Democratic administration
given the school teachers In 40 coun-
ties of the state LESS money in 1917,
1918 and 1919 than In 1916, and in II
counties LESS in 1917 and 1918 than in
1882
The figures show that since taxes
were raised the state is about able to
defray its current expenses, and, while
some money has been paid on the state
debt, there has been no proportionate
Increase In the school fund for the ed
ucatlon Of the children and paying
teachers salaries.
However, the taxpayers do know
that the minute Superintendent Gilbert
got in Office he began to add lot Of
stenographers and clerks to his own
office force, and that the salary list IS
now three times what 1t was under
Gov. Wilson (Republican).
They also know that Superintendent
Gilbert's printing bill is three times
what Ii was under the Republican ad
ministration. This does not make the
taxpayers feel any more jovial when
they think of the $4,000 bill he ran up
on them for getting out the famous
Sore Toe" book and school Archi:ec-
ture In Kentucky" which cost them
nearly $4,000.
The people were well acquainted
with Superintendent Gllbert's fondness
for travel when he was an assistant
in the office of Superintendent HAMLET,
where he boosted his travelling en-
penses from about 5000 a year to over
$1,000 year. Since his election to the
higher office Superintendent Gilbert
has taken to travelling out Of the state,
