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

ask for Doctor Pierce’s Anuric Tab

Victor Murdock In Wichita Eagle.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incombus
tible material in the form of ashes, so
the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal a cer
tain amount of indigestible material,
which if not completely eliminated
each day, becomes food for the mil
lions of bacteria which infest the bow
els. 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

Millions of people keep their joints
free from these rheumatic acids by
practicing this daily internal sanita

health .measure because it cleanses the
alimentary organs of all the waste,
gases and sour fermentations, making

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 •.
