Killed by Poisons
AD scientists ngreo that poisonous
products in tlio blood aro eliminated by
tho kldnoys and liver. The kidnoya act
as a kind of filter for theso products,
when tho kidnoya aro changed or de
generated, by discaso or old ago, thon
theso poisons aro retained In tho body.
If wo wish to provent old ago coming
on too soon, or If wo want to .incroaao
our chances for a long life, Dr. Plorco of
tho Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.( aays
that you should drink plenty of wator
daily between meals to flush tho kidneys.
Then procuro at your nearest drug storo
Anurio. This Anuric drives tho uno acid
out. Scientific men havo learned that in
gout, also rheumatism, poisonous urio
add crystals aro deposited in or about
tho joints, in tho muscles whoro in
flammation is set up.
If wo wish to keep our kidnoya in tho
best condition a diet of milk and vege
tables, with only littlo meat onco a day,
ii tho most suitable Drink plenty of puro
water, tako Anurlo threo times a day for
m month. An-u-ric 1b many times moro
potent than lithia and dissolves urio
acid almost as hot water docs sugar.

Tho urio acid spread through my Bystem
causing rheumatism in my joints. It
would affect my limbs, also my arms.
This would mnko mo very miserable. I
would also havo pains in tho back and

FOOD CONTROLLER OF
CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In
creased at All Cost.
In his letter to tho public ci the
1st of January, Hon. W. J. Hnnnn, Can
ntlu's Food Controller, snys:
"Authoritative Information lint
reached me that food shortage In Ku
rope Is terribly real, nnd only the
Bternest resolve on tho part of the pro
ducers, nnd equally stern economics on
the part of nil iih consumers, can pos
Blhly snvo tho situation.
"France last year hud n crop be
tween one-third nnd one-half thnt of
a normal year. Women did tho work
of draught animals In n determined
effort to mnko tho Impoverished soil
of France produce every possible ounce
of food. They now look to hh to make
tip their deficiency of esscntlnl sup
pi I us.
"The hnrvest In Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
"It Ih Impossible for tho allies to
spare ninny cargo curriers to transport
foodstuff from India, Australia, New
Zealand and even thj Argentine Repub
lic. This means that the allied nation?
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the fond
which must be forthcoming If terrible
suffering Is to ho avoided nnd the light
ing i 'Ik-lency of the armies maintained.
"On December 1, the United States
hud not u single bushel of wheat for
export, after allowance was nrndu for
domestic requirements on the basis of
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration Is endeav
oring to bring about u reduction o(l!)
per cent In home consumption of whent
and Hour. This would release 100,000,
000 bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly five times that
nmoimt beforo the 1918 hnrvest.
Ctiundn Is the only country In tho
world, practically accessible to the Al
lies under present conditions' of ship
ping shortage, which hns nn nctunl ex
portable surplus of wheat after allow
nncu for normal home requirements.
The surplus todny Is not more than
110,000.000 bushels. A reduction of 20
per cent In our, normal consumption
would snvo nn additional 10,000,000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs In Europo
next year Is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such Is the situation grave beyond
anything that we thought possible n
few months ago. Unless our people
are aroused to n realization of wlint
tho world shortage menns to us, to our
soldiers nnd to our Allies, and of the
terrible possibilities which it entails,
disaster Is inevitable.
"Production, too, must be Increased
to tho greatest possible extent. Pres
ent war conditions demand extraordi
nary efforts, and every man, woman,
boy or girl who can produce food, has
a nntlonal duty to do so.
"I am confident that when tho people
of this country rcallzo that the food
situation Is of utmost gravity they will
willingly adjust themselves to the ne
cessities of the case and make what
ever sacrifices mny bo required. Tho
call which Is made upon them Is In
the name of the Canadian soldiers nt
the front, tho allied armies, nnd tho
civilian populations of tho allied na
tions who havo nlrcady made food sac
rifices to an extent littlo realized by
tho people of this country."
Here Is an appeal made by a mnn,
upon whom rests the great responsibil
ity of assisting In providing food for
the allies and the soldiers nt the front,
who aro fighting the buttles Mn mud
and blood. It cannot he Ignored. At
homo we nro living In luxury and ex
travagdnco Inclined to Idleness and for
getful nesfl. This must cease. We must
snvo nnd produce. Our lands must; bo
tilled no mnttcr whero It may be, In
Canada or the United States. It Is
our duty to cultivate. Splendid oppor
tunities In the United Strifes pre open
for further cultivation of lands. West
ern Canada also offers opportunities In
high producing lands nt low prices.
Decide for yourself where you can do
tho most good, on land In tho United
States or In Canada, and get to work
quickly. Advertisement.

EVERY OTHER FIELD KULED
So n Phoenix Pioneer Could n5o Noth
ing Lew Than Set Up so a
Painter and Decorate.
Phil Snodgms1?, u former rmtaeKt, Is
visiting Phoenix nnd refreshing the
memories of the few old-timers who
remain, tho Arizona Republican states.
Most of them had forgotten the names
nnd oven the existence of many of tho
residents of moro than a generation
ago. Mr. Snodgrass recalls them all
and has asked about them. Ho re
members' landmarks-'that long slnco
have disappeared and wore forgotten
by those who hml become fumlllor
with the buildings that had taken their
plnces.
The coming of Mr. Snodgrass hns
revived mnny Incidents connected with
tho lives of tho old-timers. II. It. Pat
rick, of course, was hero then, hnvlng
completed the excavation of the Grand
canyon. Having nothing else to do,
he was awaiting on the Wte of Phoenix
for civilization to como and pre
empt It.
Mr. Patrick was then, ns now, n
civil engineer. Ills leveling rod had
seen rough times and needed pnlnt
Ing. About that tlmo P. C. Hlcknell
nppcured on the scene nnd advertised
himself ns a decorative painter. Ho
undertook to paint the rod. When Mr.
Patrick received It hnck he bad a lev
eling rod unlike any other In exist
ence. He felt sure thnt thnt was the
first one Ulcknell had ever seen.
Though Mr. Patrick had paid $5 for
the decoration, ho nindo no complaint,
hut repainted it himself after fash
ion, so It would do.
Years afterward Patrick and Blck
ncll met In a saloon In Wlckonhurg.
nnd In talking over old times both be
came, quite frank and outspoken.
"You remember," nskedi Patrick,
"that leveling rad you painted for me?"
lUcUncll remembered It very well.
"Woll," snld Patrick, "wlint In tho
devil Induced you to hold yourself out
to the public us n painter? Why didn't
you advertise as u minister of tho
gospel or tho cznr of Itusslo?"
"I'll tell you," replied Blckncll, "I
was broke. I had just landed In town
on the tall of a freight wagon, without
a penny. I had to do something. I
went up nnd down the Btrcet nnd saw
tho signs of blncksmlths, carpenters,
doctors, Inwyers ond about everything
else. All professions nnd trades
seemed to be represented except that
of painting nnd decorating and I
claimed that vacant field by right of
discovery. So I stuck out a shingle,
though I had never before held a paint
brush In my hand. The ornamenta
tion of that leveling rod was tho first
Job I got."
American Prove Grit.
When an American Is told that any
thing Is Impossible his Impulso is to
try to do It without delay. For this
reason no one will be astonished,
though everyone will be Interested, In
the story of n member of the Ameri
can Aviation corps In France who was
disciplined by having his machine ta
ken away from him temporarily be
cause ho had usCd It In looping tho
loop a dangerous evolution, on ac
count of Its' peril forbidden to be at
tempted In this mnchlne. While, "well
up In tho blue," the aviator had start
ed to perform tho feat and mado five
graceful loops in descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his rcprimnnd by asking, "Why did
you do It?" nnd tho aviator replied,, "A
Frenchman told mo It could not be
done." It was not unnatural that thlB
explanation madoa favorable Impres
sion on the officer, and that lio related
