Weekly Health Talks
URIC ACID IN THE SYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, NJ. 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 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
nay be dizzy--but the trouble is not
wnere 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 sys-
TEN, which can be done by taking Anuris
Tablets, the splendid remedy which DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, has put on sale
in the drug stores at q low price. Anuric
Tablets (made double ~strength), when
taken into the system as medicine, have
the peculiar power Of diEsolving the uric
acid deposited there. Drip . 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. on
course, after Kidding the system Of urls
acid, it may return again unless you eat
the right foods and live the right kind OF
life, but DR.. Pierce viii 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'kr
put the matter of.

Even Up to Signing Of

Qn the New York Herald.)


Mezieres, Ardennes, France.-It is a
fact known to everyone that the Ger
mans. after having desperately begged
for the armistice, shelled the town of
Mezieres, ever up to the exact mo-
ment of the beginning of the armistice,
cowardly and without any military
a whatever. They aimed espe-
cially at the monuments, which were
well known to them. as they had &C.
cupied the city for four years.
Among the latter the church is es-
pecially to be mentioned. 1t is a fine
Gothic flamboyant structure with five
naves, the largest and perhaps the
most beautiful of the country. This
church has had, among other princely
visitors, the honor of celebrating the
marriage ceremony of Charles TX and
Elisabeth of Austria (1570). We make
bold to assert that it was "the last
of the churches shelled." A fact less
known, although not less interesting,
is that it was also "the first of the
churches to be shelled."
Begun in 1899, it was % years old
when in 1921 the imperials besieged
Mezieres, defended by Bayard, the
knight without fear or reproach. His
torians relate that shells were en-
ployed for the first time during this
siege. The enemy shelled the town
for exactly a month, from August 81
until September q, and II part was
entirely destroyed. The monuments
as well as the church were struck by
the projectiles, as is proved by the
archives of. the epoch, kept in the de-
pository of the department of Me
zieres. Several large holes had to be
mended in the roof of the church
steeple as 'the glass frame Of the
round of the steeple which had been
broken during the SIEGE"
Many Times Bombarded.
One can notice that the lombard
ments of this epoch, even compared tc
those that the history of after times
was to note, were not-as certain
people might believe-"games of chill
dren." The church of Mezieres was
however, to undergo more terrible
ones on three different occasions.
Completed with difficulty in 1926
that is to say, a hundred and twenty
seven years after the laying of thu
foundation stone, it was soon to have
lived the golden age of its life. II

the interior, causing a great deal of
damage.

box-the enemy again shelled Me-
zieres. The church was principally
aimed at and was once more the vic
tim of the shells, which spoiled the
steeple, burst the vaults, broke the
sculptures and stained-glass windows.
During nearly forty-seven years
these ruins had been repaired. The
church Of Mezieres had passed the
greater part of this great war without
damage, but In 1917 and 1918 the Ger.
mans took away the five beautiful
bells, the most tuneful and the loud
est in the country, and what is worse
broke the organ in order to get down
the bells. But the church itself re-
manned uninjured. 1t would have been
too much luck for our church, the des-
tiny Of which seemed united to all our
national woes. On November 10, less
than t~wenty-four hours before the ar
mistice, the fury Of the ~retreating en-
envy poured out in the vile lombard
ment of Mezieres, which lasted TWEEN
ty hours. Among other buildings the
Church of Our Lady was struck. All
the stained-glass windows were either
totally or partly broken, and what is
more important, the flamboyant null
lions of many windows were broken.
The church was struck by many
bombs, some of which hit the lantern
of the steeple, the tower of the signal
man. Some struck the top, some the

BRITISH TARS TO
DIVIDE MILLIONS

London.-When w. w. Jacobs wrote
MANY Cargoes' he had no notion his
idea was 10 be p~lagiarized, and pla-
CARRIED by a great naval war at that.
But wars-like women-have strange
ways. And not the least strange OF
them is the working of the department
Of the British marshal of the ad-
miralty and prize court.
In time of history it was the duty
Of this highfaluting dignitary to ar
range for and attend the execution OF
prisoners sentenced to death for MUIR
der on the high seas. And it is on
record that the marshal of the olden
time attended the execution OF Ad-
miral Byng-a British commander,
who was shot on his own quarterdeck,
as a penalty for losing a battle. Times
have changed. The modern marshal Is
only a milk and water edition Of his
sterner prototype. He is the watch
man, stevedore, caretaker and guar
dian angel in chief of all German
shipping that has fallen into allied
hands during the war, and incidentally,
of the British naval prize fund, OF
| which thousands of British jack tars
and their officers r now awaiting

New York Sun reporter, amounted to
10000 900, but this included goods
seized under the blockade, which must

the amount Of the prize fund would be.

$50 Ships Seized During War.
''The president (Lord Phillimore)
has sat every day since he was ap-
pointed, and there would appear to be
quite another years work before the
court" said the marshal. Including
vessels seized in port upon the out
break Of war, which numbered over
100, about $50 ships have gone into
my custody in the United Kingdom.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of
goods of all descriptions-copper,
aluminium, metals, wool, cotton, lard,
