might form one tense chapter in u
book about how the British eafiled the
Hun air raiders. The last six months
of the war there was not a single air

fact that the city's defenses were such
that they filled enemy flyers with ter

death traps-and the cliances were

sanity for weeks. SO horrible was the
experience.
Roughly, there were three chief
weapons for dealing with Hun air
raiders; the aerial barrage. aided by

Aerial Aprons Queer Things.
The aerial aprons were queer
things. They reminded one of rope

When flying high they were met by the

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys,
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
arc 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 fern If urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble il called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone
in he bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that 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. 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 to eat and
how to live 20 that more uric acid will not
form in your system. DR.. Pierce will not
charge for th;x advice.

Season on Deer in
Black Hills Regions

Lead. S. D., Oct. 26.-Extensive
PREPARATIONS are being made for the
nual deer hunting season, which
viii open throughout the Black
Hills on November !. Last year
about 800 hunters took out licenses
for the deer shooting season, and
il is expected the number this year
will equal or exceed last years
record. The season will open at sun
rise of the day stated.
Thus far number OF licenses
have been issued and the applicants
are increasing each day. Reports
from some sections of the Black
Hills'are to the effect that deer are
plentiful and tame, while In other
sections they are reported to be
scarce and very wild. The recent
heavy snowfall, of more than foot
in some parts OF the Black Hills, if
it remains on the ground will be
to the, advantage of hunters in To-
eating aud following deer. Last year
there were no accidents to hunters
and the bag Of deer was big.
Each hunter Is limited to one deer
for the season. Even this protection
has not resulted in deer multiplying,
and after this years season is
closed it is proposed by some that
closed season, extending over sew
eral years. be placed on deer in the
Black Hills.
