Canal jungle.

The blank spaces on the worlds
map have been dwindling so rapidly
that it is bit surprising to read of
a great wilderness-unmapped, I'M
inhabited and practically unknown
alongside one Of the great American
thoroughfares. In his account in Nat
ural History, Lieut.-Col. Townsend
Whelen states that passage cut from
the Panama canal some five miles
through tangled second growth of
small trees and other vegetation leads
to a gigantic wall Of verdure, and this
is the beginning Of the primeval jun
gle comprising most of the eastern
portion of the Republic of Panama,
and extending about 300 miles in
length by so to 100 miles in width.
In this strange new world one can
wander unimpeded by thorns and
creepers, in climate oddly cool anc
balmy. The vegetation is most impress

with tops spreading to shut out the

kinds Of slender tree ferns and palms,
developed in semi-darkness, that
shorten ones view without hindering
progress. Hardly anywhere can one
see more than so yards. The jungle
is alive with wonderful bird life,
which is distributed in zones Of alti-

1t Is Important to Have
First-Hand Information

Now he is responsible for the loss Of

Man With Right Attitude
Will Keep Morale Right

High courage often runs wild. It's a
common thing for daring to run into
the foolhardy. And when 1t does the
victim often suffers such severe pun
ishment that 1t is impossible for him
to regain his proper balance with life
problems. He loses self-confidence
and becomes the lackey Of those who
choose to use him. So the proper
morale keeps a man within his limits
and helps him fill them to their ca
pacity. The greater the natural en-
dowments the worse the ruin when
morale fails. On the other hand the
man with the right attitude in life is
almost sure to keep his morale right
and win In spite Of circumstances.

SHE HAS NO OCCUPATION

She rises UP at break of day,
And through her tasks she races;
She cooks the meal as best she may,
And scrubs the children's faces.
While schoolbooks, lunches, ribbons, toe
All need consideration,
And yet the census man insists
She has mo occupation"
When breakfast dishes all are done.
She bakes a pudding, maybe;
She cleans the rooms up one by ono,
With one eye watching baby;
The mending pile she then attacks.
By way of variation,
And yet the census man insists
She has mo occupation
She irons for a little while,
Then presses pants for daddy:
She welcomes with a CHEEKY smile
Returning lass and laddie.
A hearty dinner next she cooks
(No time for relaxation),
And yet the census man insists
She has mo occupation"

The evening scarce is ample.

For help with each example.
In grammar and geography
She finds her relaxation,
And yet the census man insists

URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE Fl. SMITH, M. 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 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 yB-
TEN, which can be done by taking Anurio
Tablets, the splendid remedy which DIR.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has put on sale
In the drug stores at q low price. Anuris
Tablets (made double strength), when
taken into the system as 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 Kidding the system Of uric
acid, it may return again unless you eat
the right foods and live the right kind OF
life, but DIR. Pierce win 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.

out of your system. Don't, don't, don't,
