URIC ACID 10 THE sYsTEg.
BY LEE II. SMITH, M. d.

Uric acid is now generally recognizcc
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 a 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 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 at
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 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 ths
right kind of life, but DR.. Pierce will
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-day,
by all means, and get that uric acid
out Of your system. Don't, don't,
! don't, put the matter off.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautt-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won-
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-knOwn downtown druggist
says everybody use Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two. it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful.-Ady.

PROBABLY EVOLVED FROM TOY
1t Has Been Found Impossible to
Trace the Invention of Cannon to
Any Individual.

The fixed tube which uses powder
to blow a missile from it's mouth has
seen only six centuries of existence.
All the evidence we have indicates
that the gun had its birth in Europe
and not until after the year 1900 A. D.
For a long time 1t was supposed the
gun was much older than it really is.
But the art of reading history has ad
vanced as much as any other of mans
accomplishments, and later, more eau
tous search has caused us to change
our views considerably regarding the
age Of the gun.
So far as we know the gun had no
inventor, The honor has been ascribed
to several, but their title to 1t has not
borne even casual scrutiny. 1t seems
to have been a slow growth, perhaps,
from a preceding toy of similar form.
The squib of paper or wood, If made
fast, would shoot a stone a little dis
lance. Then by making the tube
larger and stronger some man or wom-
an saw the chance to convert an limo
cent plaything into a dangerous weap
on. When the thing was done they
called 1t a cannon.-From "The Gun

Get New Kidneys !

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs Of the human body, and when they
fail in their work Of fltering out and
throwing off the poisons developed IN the
system, things begin to happen.
One Of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication Of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find Immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two can
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store. and
If it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be
sure you. get the GOLD MEDAL brand.

Aged Eccentric Is Again Millionaire,

Chicago.-Edward W. Morrison,
aged recluse Of Chicago, has been try
ing to get rid of his millions for many
years, but, despite the assistance of
his lawyers and cronies, he is unable
to become a pauper. The millionaire
nearly succeeded a few years ago,
when he transferred all his property,
variously estimated at $3.000,000 to
100000, to his attorney, but the
transfer was recently set aside by a
federal court.
In addition to his dealings with his
attorney, Edward Morrison gained no.

accused by Joseph Burnstein, a Chica-
go junk dealer, of being the father OF
the two Burnstein girls he had adopt
ed. The charge never was proved.
Spent $4,000 to Get $4,000.
In the investigation conducted by
Federal Judge Lands it was shown
that the eccentric millionaire had paid
$4,000 to a a named Douglas to go

USE GAS TO QUIET CHICKENS
Fall of the BOOSTING Places and Are

Springfield, Ohio.-Chicken thieves
are using gas in looting the hen coops
Of Clark County. Farmers in the vicin-
ity Of Buena Vista, near this city, have
noticed a peculiar odor in their chicken
coops after thieves have been there.
The mystery was explained when one
farmer found a chicken under one Of
the roosts which he took for dead.
He tossed 1t In the barn yard and In
a few minutes the chicken recovered
and walked away. Farmers say the
gas puts the chickens to sleep, they
fall Off the roosting places and are
easy prey for the thieves.

But the Chicago courts and the Chi

a high school building, should the re-

otherwise and through their efforts the
property has been regained. So Ed
