themes, with the primitive sensualitv

tremendous rhythmic power, As well as
the soft, melodous beauty Of the old
tunes introduced. The composer has
treated the piano not as solo instru-

orchestra, but its part is vital and well
sustained. 1t was unfortunate that Mr..
Stransky seemed unable to bring from

Daily Health Talks
URIC ACID IN the svsTEra !,
BY LEE II. SMITH, NJ. d.


Uric acid is now generally recognized
Is the cause OF more diseases than was
heretofore believed. When the kidneys
Ire out of order uric acid accumulates
within the body in super abundance
rhe disordered kidneys do not filter
he poisons out OF the blood, as they
,ught to do, and SO the poisons remain
n the blood and float around until
hey find place to lodge, in form of
irate salts. The thing TO remember is
hat 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 appeara.
The trouble is in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do2 You must
get that excess uric acid out of your
system, 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 as
low price. Anuric Tablets (made
double strength), when taken into the
system as medicine, have the peculiar
power OF dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop q bit OF sugar or
salt into hot water, and it will dis
appear. 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 tho
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 acid
out OF your system. Don't, don't,
don't, pnt the matter off.

that convention of representatives
duly chosen by the Montenegrm peo-
pie had met and deposed King Nicho-
las and voted TO join the country with
the federation Of the Serbs, Sloyenes,

insisted and has so informed the
