4 WONDERFUL REMEDY
FOR KIDNEYS. BLADDER.
URIC ACID

Through failure of kidneys to act,
through congestion, inflammation, any
persons condition is ripe for disease to
fasten its hold upon the system.
At DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, there
has been tested for the past few years
acid troubles, rheumatism, govt, and
such ailments as follow, and so many
cases, both acute and stubborn, have
yielded to this wonderful remedy that
Dr.. Pierce decided to name it Anuric,
and arrange for its distribution to the
public through medicine dealers every
where. You will find it many times more
active than ithia, dissolving uric acid
as water does sugar.
Obtain a bottle of these tablets TODAY
from your druggist. Simply ask for
Anuric Tablets (anti-uric acid) and notice
the gratifying results.

Causes Analysed.
In analyzing the causes for this con-
dition the leaders IN the Interchurch
World Movement place a large share
of the blame upon the churches. They
have neglected, particularly in rural
districts, TO maintain ministers with
sufficient salaries to enable them to
devote their whole time to their
churches. They have allowed them
selves to become, through various cir.
cumstances, disconn acted from the
main current of social life in their
communities
But other important causes are the
shifting of population from the rural
districts to the towns, the advent of
the motor car, which has influenced
the farmer and his family to spend
their Sundays in recreation instead of
worship. and the formidable physical
conditions which the rural church in
this section OF the country faces-a
scattered population, which it is diff.
ficult to reach.
Funds Based on Exact Facts.
The surveys Of counties in the In
land Empire, collecting exact facts so
that the churches may adapt their
activity Il meet realities, are typical
OF the whole method of the Inter.
Church World Movement The pro
gram which it sets before itself is
based upon statistical data of this
sort, gathered from all over the world,
and the appropriation which churches
make to solve religious problems.
whether in Washington or Idaho, or
in China or India, are determined by
