BACKACHE, LUMBAGO Uric acid causes backache, pains here and there, rheumatism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who discovered a new agent, called "Anuric,” which will throw out. and completely eradicate this uric acid from the system. "An uric” is 37 times more potent than lithia, and consequently you need no longer fear muscular or articular rheu matism or gout, or many other die- | eases which are dependent on uric acid within the body. If you feel that tired, worn-out feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your sleep is disturbed by ic- frequent uri nation, go to your best drug store and ask for Doctor Pierce’s Anuric Tab lets, full treatment 50c, or send 10 cents for a trial package of "Anuric” Tablets to Dr. Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, .Buffalo, N.

Every man who writes up the war tells about the sounds of battle. I am now ready to report. I had read so many de scriptions of the different sounds that I had a natural curiosity—to see Just what the racket is like. Usually the writer speaks of the "boom" of the big guns and the "whir" of the little ones. You hear a lot from the soldiers about the "s-s-c-s-z-t" of bullets. As you hear a lot more than you see on the fighting front, a rorrect defining of these phon etics ought to be interesting. First of all I made up my mind not to exaggerate. I know that there are a lot of people who want the thing colored up brightly, but there are a whole lot more who would like to have the thing presented just as it Is. Now on the front there are three dis tinct classes of sounds and each sound has variations. I took pains to classify them. They are, first, the big gun sounds, the machine gun sounds and the rifle sounds. Away in the distance the big gun sound Is a good deal like the slamming of a door In a big empty house, muffled and over as soon as it begins. It Is a soft, vibrating sort of a thump, like the distant thunder, only It doesn't roll. As you get nearer the big piece, say a couple of miles, it Is exactly like dropping a lot of lumber. I will undertake to deceive the best military ear on earth by taking a half dozen planks and going behind a shed and dropping them all at once. Now when you got over in front of the gun and armies aro not only in front of the enemy's artillery, but in front of their own, there is a marked variation in the racket. After you have located the gun back of you, you watch and seo the flash —a splinter of flame, then you hear the crash, much like falling glass, and sharp er than falling lumber—and then as the shell goes over you, you catch a most distinctive sound. It's a "swish" with a little purr to it. Take the garden hose, turn on the water full force and then pass your lingers through the stream close up to the muzzle and anybody, on a peace ful Sunday afternoon, In the quiet of the front yard, can have all the sounds that accompuny the midair flight of a shell. It is llash-crash-swlsh. Now what you can’t get In the front yard Is a curious trick of the Imagination that I despair of describing. The swish seems to be curved. It Is soft, loud, soft, which partially explains, but It appears also to bo back, above and forward of you, successively—that Is, In a couplo of seconds. There Is a lot of Fourth of July love of explosives In all of us, and I stood In the mud and listened to those shells with exactly the same sort of ela ♦ SUBSTITUTES FOR MEDICINE ♦ ♦ DURING OrVIL WAR + From the Brooklyn Eagle. In these days when color dyes and chemicals are lacking In this country be cause of the war blockade, there is a pe culiar Interest In the tales of earlier times when the women In the confederacy were compelled to find substitutes for tho medi cines and chemicals of which they were sorely doprlved during the civil war. From tho homeliest plants, herbs and leaves the most soothing medicines for Illness and fever were concocted. Togeth er. the silver-haired dames and their daughters would gather In the soelnl pni> lor for their ‘'bees.” For the most part, these makeshifts were made from recipes gleaned from tho habits of tho Creoles, whose numerous haunts were in the re gion. The Cheolos of the gulf coast used those many medicinal plants, having early learned from the Indians Uio use of shrubs Indigenous to the soil. They had tho se cret of many powwfut plasters and po tions, which, though very painful, worn very successful If the patient could bear the severity of its work. An Infusion of tho milkweed vino would break a fever: a tea made of bark of the weeping willow took tho place of quinine; noli her of these having any bad offccts on the system. I’odophyllln, which grows wild In all the gulf states, took the place of mercury, also without 111 cffocts. An ignorant man in Alabama who. during war time, plowed up two acres of this plant for the purpose of planting potatoes, was nearly massacred by neighbors of nearby counties when they learned of this Indiscretion. The bark of the wax myrtle (bayberrv) dried and pulverized was another remedy used as a tonic; Its tjny berries, boiled In water until melted, then gathered Into a cake. The old fashioned "life everlasting" took the place of “hops” in making yeast, and was said to prove a better fermenter, having no rank taste. The southern women were particularly fortunate in this work because, It has been said, nearly every plant in inaterla med ica grew, or could be mado to grow. In the sandy soil of tho gulf states. Many varie ties grow wjld among the pines, or in the various ravines where the small trees and shrubs bordering the frequent little streams shaded such plants as required damp growing places such as the plants needed. Pennyroyal, nightshade, podo phyllin, boneset. life everlasting, witch hazel, spearmint, horsemint, and many others, grew In these hummocks. The common blackberry, which grows all over tho United States, was the most valuable plant of all. Its roots made a tine astringent rejpedy, Its berries a de lightful cordial. The roots made, too, a good black dye. That and tho red oak bark gave the southern ladles their dyes all through the war. The southern women benefited by the native custom of Creoles to transplant from the woods most of their small plants. Each family had an herb bed handy, and dried the plants for winter use. Debts and Who Pay Them. From the Christian Science Monitor. A New Jersey dealer In coal and lumber recently startled his village and country neighbors and customers by bold use of printer’s ink. In the local weekly, on the tlrst page, in large type, he made known the amount of Indebtedness which Ills firm was carrying In an effor; to meet the trading demands of customers and at the same time not ruffle their feelings or challenge their ethics of trade. Accom panying the quite explicit statistics of debt was a statement intimating that the dealer thought he was not getting quite the "square deal” from people who were presuming on his leniency and who were assuming that Vie had unlimited credit and social good will. As soon as the issue of honor and fair play became a community one the bills began to be paid. When A realized that 1J. and C and D, and indeed M, not to mention T, had all agreed with him in presuming that X. the dealer, could and would "carry the account a while longer without Inconvenience," why A saw what 1 he, in combination with others, had really been doing. If he did not pay immediate ly, he at least named a time when he would pay. He admitted his carelessness and thoughtlessness and his indifference to the rights of the middleman lie con ceded the power of the press to Jo what dunning Utters had not done. Ir> short, In' learned a lesson, as did his neighbors. And so. while the $67,653 debt account di minished, the community good will ac count grew. Town life was toned up b> clean cut handling of one phase of trad* ethics. It became an Issue of when a.‘ well as how debts should be Incurred an*, paid. As to which set of residents in this New Jersey town was more interested in tlie In cident. those who owed for their coal am lumber or those who did not, we will no speculate, lacking knowledge. But thi: can be said without much likelihood o contradiction, that the group that habltu ally pays its1 hills promptly was not sorri to have the issue arise In just the forn it lias come up. The honest, thrifty, cou Jim Brfdenstlne and I used to load up Colt's revolvers with paper and dirt and whang away at the enemy, who in those 1 days was led by George Israel. This curved sound almost makes you see the flight of the shell, but, of course, you do nothing of the kind. They come one right after the other—swish, swish, swish counting about five seconds between the swishes. Where do they light? Well, over in the next township. If you had a powerful Held glass and were stationed upon a hin somewhere, you could tell. But you haven't a field glass and you are not hunting hills. I noticed that the last thing to be found In the first line Is an Idle curiosity about the enemy. This ob servation of shells In flight is confined to those shot from behind you. Tho only knowledge you have of the shells coming from across tho line Is a smash that is merely deafening, and a strange sort of upheaval, such as you see when a dyna mite charge goes off. But you got an Idea of the striking of the shells from the country back of you. You find a power ful lot of them are misses. And when one hits a house It knocks a corner off or puts a hole In the roof or side wall. It does not demolish tho building. The sound of the machine guns Is eas ily tho most vicious thing I heard. Just at the start a machine gun gives out a sound that I was not long In locating. In tho old cowboy days In Wichita a man who drove a four-mule team had to be an artist with a bullwhlp. He would bring tho long lash whirling around his head and then lay it out near the front mule’s ears with a quick Jerk which made it pop with a suggestion of stinging sharpness. That Is what a machine gun does as it starts off. If it a pop-ka-swlsh-pop, and then as It continues, the first pop is dropped off and It becomes ka-swish-pop, ka-swish-pop, ka-swish-pop, with just a breath between each of the explosions. There Is a whipping, stinging suggestion In the sound, as the gun speeds up, that fills you with terror. As a rule soldiers pay little attention to the big grumbles of the artillery. They turn and look when the machine guns begin. And then as It gets to going full-tilt, the pops and the ka-swlshes all merge for all the world like tho escape of steam from around the whistle of a big locomotive when It Is blowing off. Some of the sharpness of the sound disappears, but nothing of the suggestion of viciousness passes. I im agine that the machine gun Is the weapon of the future. One will be Invented that tho soldier will carry on his chest. I find a few here who agree with me that the small-arm rifle will disappear as com i pletely as the sword has. slderate, cash-paying, debt disliking con sumer too often pays his own bills and. Indirectly, those of his negligent neighbor as well. He pays for w“hat he gets and also for what the man gets whose ac counts finally have to he "charged off.” The extent to which this unfair condi tion of affairs exists In rural and suburb an communities of the country Is not al ways realized by the urban dweller and merchant. Tho city man does more mer chandising on a cash basis. The city merchant can be more Independent and rigorous In collections because no so re stricted In range of prospective customers ns the village and town merchant. It la for tho smaller communities, tnen, that this Metuchen, N. J., experiment will prove most Instructive. It shows that the suasion of candor. Journalistically medi ated, Is a first rate debt collecting method. Worse Than Slavery. From the World Outlook. Notwithstanding the fact that the ventures of native students Into the labyrinths of English are sometimes ativentures Indeed, nevertheless it is the mistakes of the Americans who at tempt to express themselves prema turely In other languages which most appeal to our risibles. The Spanish word for sons is “hljos,” for figs “hi gos.” One can, therefore, easily under stand how the following conversation might easily have taken place. A lady went to a grocery store to buy figs. The conversation was as follows: “Have you any sons?” “Yes," replied the storekeeper pleas antly. "White ones?" To this the man replied in the affir mative. “Very well, I will take one pound, il you please," said the lady. The storekeeper is said to have re plied that they were not for sale and certainly not by the pound. Line Forms on This Side. Please. From the World Outlook. A music teacher, recently arrived from the United States, was making herself generally useful, while learning the language in a mission school at Concepcion, Chile. Among her other duties, for which a knowledge of Span ish was not required, was playing the organ for the Spanish choir. Her stock of words was extremely limited, but she had already learned that one can fre quently change an English Into a Spanish word by the addition of a final “a” or "o." That the rule was not al together safe, she learned to the hys terical amusement of the choir. The music teacher had been helping the tenors through with their part In the anthem. The word “tenor” is the same in both languages. Then she wanted to have the bassos try their part in a similar way. Although she was not quite sure about the word for "bass,” she took a chance on it and added tho final “o.” Now it happens that the word in Spanish which is pronounced like "bassos,” sounding a as in base, means kisses. What she therefore said was: “Now the kisses, please, one at a time.” This Sounds Better. From the Chicago Herald. After denying to the New York "World that he had any knowledge of or connec tion with a pro-German lobby at Wash ington to tnlluenee congress against the president. Henry Weissmann. head of the New York State German-Amerlcan alli ance, made some refreshing and slgnlti cant statements. “I tell you frankly,” said Mr. Weiss mann. "we German sympathizers have made mistakes since this war began which have instilled a hatred of Germans here it will take years to eradicate. I say now that it has been largely our fault—our own methods.” Mr. Weissmann went even further. He said that the charges made against tho German propagandists in the World’s ex posure of last summer were largely true. "What the World said about Dr. Albert and Boy-Kd and Von Papon was true. Other propagandists got money from them, but I did not.” Mr Weissmann declined to express an opinion on Speaker Clark’s presidential boom. He said that nothing he could say at this time would be likely to help hint. On the contrary, it would tend to hurt the speaker's chances. This sounds a good deal better than tho sort of statements we have heretofore been accustomed to from pro-German sources, it shows a saner and soberer ai> prociatton of the actual Otuatlon. Mr. Weissmann deserves credit for his frank confession of errors.

From this mass of left-over waste material, toxins and ptomaine-like poi sons, called uric acid, is formed and then sucked into the blood where it continues to circulate, collecting grain by grain in the joints of the body much like rust collects on the hinge as shown above. Men and women who suffer from lumbago, rheumatism or sore, stiff, aching joints should begin drinking phosphated hot water, not as a means to magic relief from pain, but to pre vent more uric acid forming in the system. Before eating breakfast each morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it This will first neu tralize and then wash out of the stom One Good Shot. Bill—Yes, I fired my rifle at the bear twice. Jill—But you said you only had one load of ammunition in the gun? “That’s right. I missed him the first time, but hit him the second.” "But I thought you had one load of ammunition ?” “That’s right. I threw the gun at him when 1 hit him.” Two Deluded Souls.

A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make any rheumatic or lumbago sufferer an en thusiast on the morning inside bath. Millions of people keep their joints free from these rheumatic acids by practicing this daily internal sanita tion. A glass of hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate, drank i before breakfast, is wonderfully invig- ’ orating; besides, it is an excellent health .measure because it cleanses the alimentary organs of all the waste, gases and sour fermentations, making one look and feel clean, sweet and fresh all day. Those who try this for one wedk may find themselves free from sick headaches, constipation, bilious at tacks, sallowness, nasty breath and stomach acidity. What He Wanted to Know. A countryman while walking along a street saw a sign: “Please ring the bell for the caretaker.” After reflecting a few minutes lie walked up and pulled the bell. After waiting a while an angry-faced man appeared. , “Are you the care-taker?" asked the bell-puller. “Yes; what do you want?” “I saw that notice, so I rang the , bell, and now I want to know why you can’t ring it yourself?” ' London's telephone and telegraph wires extend 73,500 macs overhead and 921,000 miles underground. Efficiency built the Panama Canal, after inefficiency failed. i The efficiency of the Panama Canal doubled the effectivb- " ness of the U. S. Navy without adding a ship to it. It took over 8,000 miles out cf the trip from New York to San Francisco and changed the highway between London and Australia from Suez to Panama. > Efficiency insures against lost motion—it produces the ut- i most service out of equipment and yields the finest product, fet the least cost. \ Certain-teed Roofing is an efficiency product Every advantage that men, money and machinery can offer is used to increase the production, maintain the quality and lower the cost. 1 Each of the General’s enormous mills is advantageousLy located to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution. Each is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw materials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of the needs of manufacturing, thus guarding against increased cost due to idle machinery. This also insures favorable buying, and the pick of the market. Expert chemists at each mill are employed to select and blend the asphalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made under their watchful care. CERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive 1 to ordinary roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with a j blend of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General's board of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a roofing more pliable, and more impervious to the elements than the harder, drier kind. , CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles, j f There is a type of CERTAIN- \ TEED for every kinf of building, 1 | with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scrapeto the smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for I 5, 10 or IS years according to ply (1,2 or 3). Experience pioves that J it last? longer. '1 •.
