In amending the measure the SEM

The state affairs committee elm
mated from S. B. % a provision which
would have deducted from the amount
of state aid apportioned to the state

printing, pupils organizations, cleri--

leaves with Miss Nelson the. duty of
certifying to the state auditor the sew

warrant Of the state auditor, a priv

WAR BOOKS LED AT
PUBLIC LIBRARY IN 1918

The 10th annual report OF the
Abilene Public library show that the
use Of the library during 1918 was
not uniform, owing partly to wal
interests, partly to epidemics. When
war work was heavy, reading was
light; when the influenza was not
most virulent, the library was closed
for five weeks, and some patrons re-
Trained from getting books for a long
period. Reference work, however
throughout most Of the year, was
exceptionally heavy.
Children's reading was marked by
unabating interest in current issues
Even small boys read with avlditS
hooks pertaining to the war, moi
merely stories, but informationa
hooks also. Adults read more non
action than is customary.
Fewer books than usual were pur-
chased, because of increase In prices
One set purchased, the Book OF Know
ledge proved of daily value Little
ones read 1t, and older boys and girls
nsed It In reference work.
The library cooperated with th'
United States government In distrib-
uting many pamphlets on war work
and in the spring cooperated with the
Domestic Science department OF tht
high school and generous Abilene
citizens in giving a conservation cook
ed food exhibit. One happy result OF
the latter was wide and continuous
.djstribution of excellent reciepes.
With the help Of volunteer work
ers, the library collected, sorted, pre-
pared for the shelves, and shipped
over five hundred more books to soldi
ers.
I wish to thank the patrons who
notwithstanding many outside de
mands, remembered home needs, ant

Weekly Health Talks
. WORD ABOUT THE 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 if 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 urate
salts i'm the feet, ankles, wrists and
back - often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
Is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright'a
disease.
DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain COM
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts in the system. de
found this combination to be harmless,
no 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. If 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 eau
and how to live so that more uric acio
will not form in your system. Or. flerce
viii not charge for this advice.

Incredible That Allies. Can
Be Driven Into Sea,
Says General.

Washington, April 5.-Declaring
that the Archangel situation, from a
military point of view was we'll in
hand, General March today said it
was incredible that the Allies force
can be driven into the sea by any
body" He announced that the war
departments plan was to, have the
Ameri can forces out Of that portion
Of Russia by the end of June.
The chief of staff's statement was
made in connection with reports from
England that the Allied and American
forces combating the Bolsheviki were
in a serious situation.
Several months ago. when the plan
for sending a contingent Of railroad
engineers to reinforce the force in
northern Russia was first anouced,
nSecretary Baker said the duty of the
engineers would be to prepare for the
withdrawal of the American forces-'in
the spring." General March's state
ment today is the most definite an
rouncement of the governments pur-
pose. ;a
There has been no statement of the
conditions under which the Ameri-
cans will withdraw. not any announce
ment to indicate that they will be
accompanied by all the Allied forces
now operating in cooperation with
the anti-Bolshevik north Russian
| armies.
