The kidneys act as a kind of filter for theso products. When the kidneys are changed or de generated, by dieeaBo or old age, then these poisons are retained in the body. If wo wish to prevent old ago coming on too soon, or if wo want to increase our chances for a long life, Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., says that you should drink plenty of water daily between meals to flush the kidneys. Then procure at your nearest drug storo Anuric. This Anuric drives the uric acid out. Scientific men have learned that in gout, also rheumatism, poisonous urio acid crystals are deposited in or about the joints, in the muscles where in flammation is set up. If wo wish to keep our kidnoys in the "best condition a diet of milk and vege tables, with only little meat once a day, ia tho most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water, tako Anurio three times a day for a month. An-u-rio is many times more potent1 than Uthla and is sold by drug gists for CO cents. Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce, if you wish to obtain a trial package of Anuric. Sciiallek, Iowa. For several years I havo been bothered from time to tlmo with weakness of tho back and hips and urinary disorder, especially on taking cold.

Hugh Gibson Says Governor Gen eral Gets Suppressed News paper Regularly. SPIRIT REMAINS UNBROKEN Stupid Proclamations of German Com manders Cause Much Amusement Among Belgians Says Stories of Atrocities Are All True. New York. Up to the entrance of the Unlitid States In the war against Germany, approximately 85,000 Bel gian civilians had been shot, taken Into Germany ns prisoners, or flnerf for offending the German authorities tn Belgium in various ways, according to Hugh Gibson, former secretary of the American legation nt Brussels nnd at present chief of the division of foreign Intelligence of the state department, described with mnny poignant details the sufferings of the Belgians and tho 'irrepressible nnd buoyant spirit of the people,, which, ho said, has not been quenched by the Teuton Invaders. The stupid proclamations of the Ger man comranndunts posted dully nnd oftener on the buildings nnd boardings of the streets of Belgian cities caused the ' population considerable amuse ment nt first, Mr. Gibson said, until It was announced from German head quarters that any one seen laughing around nn official bulletin would be se verely punished. Thereafter persons reading the bulletins would muffle themselves up in neckcloths thnt con cealed half their fuces and laugh to themselves. All the Belgian newspapers were suppressed, and the population re ceived its news from publications is sued by tho Germans, which told of their military victories, Mr. Gibson de clared. Papers Published Secretly. "In spite of this fact, tho Belgians, under the very nose of the governor general, published clandestine newspa pers," he continued. "The governor genernl would get his copy regularly. Sometimes he found It under his plate, sometimes It came Into bis home with the vegetables, sometimes It was mailed to him In nn official envelope of the Gerinnn military headquarters Itself, but, In spite of the fnct that he offered 100,000 marks for Information Ieudlng to the arrest of those con cerned In publishing the paper, It availed him nothing, and when I left FRENCH TAKE WHEAT Seven Ounces of Bread Daily Lim it Except to Hard Workers.

English and Dutch newspnpers were smuggled Into Belgium, Mr. Gibson continued, though n copy of a London paper sold as high as $30 at a time when the German authorities were do ing their utmost to stop the smug gling. Tho papers smuggled In were rented by the hour and the owner would sit on a man's doorstep until ho had finished It, when he would pass It on to receive another fee from tho next customer. Mr. Gibson referred to Cardinal Mercler as "the splendid old figure whoso work has undone the labors of mnny German army corps." ' Tho storied of arson, pillage, murder, torture, nnd mutilation committed by the German Invaders nro nil too true, according to Mr. Gibson. The true story, ho snld, will not bo told until the Germans have been driven out of Belgium and northern France, when the population of the Invuded districts will show the world the proofs of tho German atrocities. German Spies Poorly Paid. Tho hordes of spies hired by the Germans arc for tho most part poor and HI paid, according to Mr. Gibson, who said thnt ho had the honor of having one assigned to follow him con- SHOULD EAT MORE POTATOES Increased Use Will Bring About Saving of Grain. Agricultural Department Suggests Tu bers Be Given More Prominent Place in Luncheons. Washington. The eating of moro potntoes for supper, or for luncheon, If the family Is uccustomed to have din ner at night, Is n suggestion of the United States drpartment of agricul ture, In order thnt the tremendous crop of tubers produced In the United States this year may be utilized as fully as possible and spoilage nvolded. Such Increased use should, at tho same time, bring about u saving of grain, since one common result of eating more potntoes Is the eating of less wheat bread, which Is a reasonable suggestion when one remembers that both of thera are used us a source of starch in the diet. This reduction In grain consumption Is desirable, the de partment points out, and there is great sumption of bread by tho American people. "These extremely severe measures," sild the French statement, "especially the seven ounces a day, have deeply Impressed public opinion." Men who are very poor or who do hard manual labor get about 21 ounces of brend a day; women who nre very poor or who are employed on hard work get about 17 ounces a day ; every one elso gets seven ounces, which is less thnn half of a pound loaf, or not more than four or five slices. This bread Is mude of Hour compris ing nil the elements of wheat except bran, with a heavy admixture of flour from other cereal grains, which is obligatory.

PUN SPRING GARDEN NOW Agricultural Department Says Thero Will Be Need for Lartjc Pro- ductlon In 1918. Washington. Tako thought of tho spring gnrdon now. Notwithstanding tho large produc tion of vegetables last year and tho great volume put Into cans and Jars for winter use, there Is nothing to In dicate that there will not bo equnl need for production nnd conservation In 1013, says tho United States depart ment of agriculture. Many gnrdens failed Inst year be cause of poor soli or poor preparation or both. This Is tho time In many sections to brenk and to fertilize. Then In tho spring It will bo easier to mttko j the seedbed and tho soil will contain J plant food. For the average householder It will ' bo bufllciont to prepare ground enough to produce the homo supply for eat ing In ho fresh state nnd for can ning, drying or brining for use during the following winter. Producing veg etables for market should not be un dertaken without full knowledge of horticulture and sufficient capital and equipment. MAKING BARBER COATS NO EXEMPTION EXCUSE New York.

When the ex emption bonrd learned that Michael made "coats of military cut for barbers," recommenda tions were made that "Michael would look fine In n coat of mil itary cut, but which Is not worn by the barber shop brigade." MORE AMERICAN MADE TOYS War Conditions Develop Industry to Point Where Foreign Competi tion Is Broken Forever. Washington. America Is now first In the toy making Industry. Hereto fore the United States has purchased tho majority of Its toys from Germany, Nuremburg being one of the chief man ufacturing centers In former years.

The use of more potatoes for lunch con should be n simple matter, In the opinion of specialists of the depart ment of agriculture, since practically all Americans like potntoes and sltico there arc numerous ways In which tho tubers mny be prepared to avoid a sameness In tho diet. Potntoes, even in their simplest forms baked nnd boiled make good lunrhcon dishes. They may also be used for making a variety of dishes, such as crenniPd nnd escnlloped potatoes, with or with out cheese; stuffed potatoes, potato croquettes, and so on. Combination dishes, such ns hnsh, stows, meat pies with potato crust, and so on, In which a considerable nniount of potato Is used with other foods, may constltuto practically an entire luncheon, being hearty enough to servo for tho purpose with u little salad or fruit or sweets.

I shall never forget It. If I lived to bo one hundred yenrs old that moment would always stand out ns plainly as It docs tonight." She sighed nnd nestled n llttlo clos er, looking longingly up Into his honest blue eyes. After a moment's silence she urged: "Yes, but, John, dearest, you haven't told mo when it wns."
