Weekly Health Talks
q WoRu ABOUT TINE 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 diseased kidneys. These
organs have duty of vital importance
to perform, and il 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 uratc
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatca
and backaclic. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that q certain com.
bina;ion OF remedies would dissolve uric
acid (uratc salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
60 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 he will tell you what 10 eat
and how 70 live 90 that more uric acid
will not form In your system. Dr.. Pierce
will ppt charge for this advice.

FROM A WAR LETTER

The war already is beginning to
seem a dim and far off thing, says
the Kansas City Star. Its horrors
are fading from memory. II is for
tunate that human nature is made
this way. And yet 1t would be a
tragedy If the lessons of the war
were not sufficiently brought home
to us to make us determine to take
the practical measures of prepared
ness which alone can safeguard us
SO far as humanity possible from a
repetition Of what our men went
through in France. A private let
ter to The Star from its correspond
ent, o. p. H., brings home the stu.
alton so vividly that a passage may
be quoted:
II never passed such horrible
days In my life as ! did during the
entire Argonne and Meuse drive.
Nothing to eat, cold, hungry, wet,
sleepless, tired, and sometimes un-
der fire. God, but it was hell!
have paid q dollar many a time for
a cup of coffee. Provision was
scarce, and the cooks always want
ed to keep the stuff for their own
men because there we're SO many,
ulCh Who WOAO hohoAy INV
cold and in the same fix we were.
It was just like lot of men running
wild in the marshes along the Mis-
souri, River. only it was from sew
enty-five to one hundred miles deep
and some forty or fifty wide. 1t was
dog eat dog and devil take the hind
most. NJ. died as a result Of 1t. An
other man went home with con-
sumption; the doctors sent N. home
from Luxembourg because they
thought he was developing it; p.
never reached the Rhine, but had
to be sent back; X. developed a
cough and is now at Algiers trying
TO get rid Of 1t.
1.-THE soldiers died like flies in a
trap from September 26 to Novem-
ber II, and it is wonder to me
that they all didn't die. You can't
imagine what human being can
endure when he is put to it. But
you cant keep it up long. The Bo-
che and the French said we could
not break the Hindenburg and the
Kremhilde line in n winter CAM
paign. but we did. But. my God. the
suffering! saw more war in the
four weeks l was in the Argonne-
Meuse drive than I did in the whole
nine months l have been over here,
and the 35th saw more in five days
than they did in the entire time they
were In the line. 1t was surely was
Hell with a capital II, and If the
people at home don't build some
kind of a monument and secure en-
ployment for every one of the men
who went through with it. they will
certainly be very ungrateful."
That is the experience of a non
cobatant. Add to it the strain of
the man who was taking part Ia the
drives, and you get picture OF
those last days of the war.
No one can appreciate the agony
Of war without having impressed
upon him the necessity of making
certain that impractical remedies
are not adopted in the peace con-
ference and that the highest practi-
cal wisdom be invoked in the inter-
est Of lasting peace.
And no one can learn what the
boys from this part of the country
went through in France without
feeling the responsibility to do all
that can be done to make certain
that they have their chance when
they get home.
