DEFENSE COUNCIL
EXPLAINSTO CHURCH
Statement Not Aimed at Luth
eran Body, but at Few Dis
loyal Leaders Who Mis
represent It.
Lincoln, Neb., July 25. The Ne
braska State Council of Defense,
after its regular meeting yesterday
afternoon, authorized the following
statement, unanimously approved by
all members of the council:
A conimiuee, representing the
synods of the different bodies of the
Lutheran church in this state, ap
peared before the State Council of
Defense, representing that the state
ment issued by the state council has
been understood to censure the Luth
eran church in this state because of
disloyalty. This committee declared
the never-questioned loyalty of the
general body of the meiubeiship
and expressed severe disapproval of
tli j un-American utterances of those
who are responsible for the condition
of affairs complained of.
Aimed Only at Disloyal.
The state council disavows any
purpose to reflect upon the Lutheran
church itself and gladly accepts these
expressions and reiterates its original
statement that it depends upon the
American patriotism of the men and
women who comprise the Lutheran
church membership and the loyal
pastors.
The council repeats that its
charges are not addressed against the
entire Lutheran church body, but
only against those who "have publicly
and privately discouraged the Amer
ican cause and have shown marked
partiality for the cause of America's
enemy."
It is a pleasure to give publicity to
the avowed loyalty and patriotism of
the members of the Lutheran bodies
represented by the delegation appear
ing before the council, and it is felt
that the example of these faithful citi
zens will have the effect so earnestly
urged in the original statement of the
council.

"The Morning After"
(By DR. L. W. BOWER.)
One of the characteristic head
aches due to uric acid in the system,
which acts as a poison when it ac
cumulates, is due to alcohol taken the
night before. The kidneys do not suc
ceed in throwing off this poisonous
accumulation, the stomach is nau
seated, or the blood congests in the
head, causing throbbing pain, called
headache the heart is depressed, cir
culation of blood poor to the ex
tremities, the muscles feel tired, or
twinges of pain here and there are
felt, and when this uric acid is de
posited in the tissues or joints it
causes rheumatism or gout. I always
advise the drinking of hot water, a
half pint in the morning, and a little
Anuric. Sometimes the "blues," or
a sort of rash, or a pimply face, gives
warning of an "uric acid storm." At
such times always take Anuric
(double strength), which can be ob
tained at almost any drug store, and
which you will find dissolves the uric
acid almost as hot water does sugar.
Avoid too much meat, tea and alco
hol. Drink an abundance of water,
both hot and cold. Take Anuric three
times a day until the bad symptoms
all subside. This is the best way to
avoid rheumatism and many of the
pains and aches due to a uric acid
condition. If you drink any alcoholic
beverage you should keep the kidneys
and liver active with Anuric, so as to
throw off the poisons which accumu
late. If your tongue is coated a dark
brown taste, breath foul, followed
sometimes by colds, indigestion, bil
iousness, constipation or sour acid
stomach, you should take some vege
table laxative. Such a one is made
in sugar-coated form from the May
apple, leaves of aloe and root of
jalap, and commonly sold by almost
all druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are standard and have
been in ready-to-use form for nearly
fifty years. Advertisement.

The French even pushed beyond their
old line at some points.
This morning came the test of the
German reaction. It was directed
against the positions recaptured by
the French on the Californic plateau.
Although delivered after a violent
bombardment, it was entirely futile,

ground and consolidating their gains.

front at the Californie plateau in an
effort to recapture the positions from
