For Those Who Suffer
Pains in Stomach Back
or Joints.
(By Samuel Hamilton, M. D.)
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water is necessary to
good bodily housekeeping. To drink
a pint of hot water before meals is
a good practice, and those suffering
from a catarrhal condition of the
stomach will find benefit in adding
about 10 grains (one-sixth of a level
teaspoonful) of baking-soda, drinking
it an hour before each meal.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism
at times, pain in the back or back
of the neck, take a little Anuric before
meals. 'Anuric (double strength) can
be found at any good drug store, and
was first discovered by Dr. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y.
When run-down, when life indoors
has brought about a stagnant condi
tion in the circulation most every
one is filled with uric acid especially
is this so of people past middle age.
This uric acid in the blood often
causes rheumatism, lumbago, swelling
of hands or feet, or a bag-like condi
tion under the eyes. Backache, fre
quent urination or the pains and stiff
ness of the joints and high blood
pressure are also often noticed.
Everyone should drink plenty of pure
water and exercise in the open air as
much as possible. I have found that
Anuric is an antidote for this uric acid
poison and that it will dissolve the
accumulation of uric acid in the body
much as hot water dissolves sugar.

OmOIALS WELL PLEASED
"If this room isn't big enough to
hold all of you when you come here
again next year, we can build another
that wil' be big enough" Everett
Buckingham.
In such fashion did the general
manager and officials ot the Union
Stock Yards company greet the 400
or mora students of the University of
Nebraska Agriculture school on the
occasion of their annual visit to the
yards yesterday.
Mr. Buckingham, in the course of
his remarks, referred to the excellent
system with which stock was handled.
"In the last nine months there have
appeared in my office but six shippers
who have had Complaint for the
methods employed by the stock yards
interests in handling the stock. A.
F. Stryker emphasised this remark
by saying that his office, which is the
one neutral intervening point between
shipper and commission man, has had
occasion to settle but eleven disputes
in the year past. "The business here
is run on honor," the secretary said,
"and could render no finer example to
you young people who are today
realizing its magnitude."
Prize Awards Made.
The banquet served gratis by the
yards company was the occasion of
the awarding of silver cups as prizes
to scholarship students in the three
divisions of the state farm. Prof.
Howard Gramlich, one of the leading
instructors, mide the presentation
speech and paid tribute to the two
stock judging teams that had given
Burgess-Mash Cohpaiiy.

MADAME Fashion has been "quick-stepping" these
days filling the orders, specifications and demands
of the representative of the Burgess-Nash Company, who
is now in the Eastern markets.
"Omaha's discriminating women must have some
thing that is smart, distinctive, yet practical and attrac
tively priced," said Mr. Buyer.
"Here is a group of smartly tailored suits in fact, so
tailored that one would almost call them mannish then,'
too, there are girlish models of box pleated and norfolk
effects but oh, pshaw, what is the use of enumerating
every suit I have," said Madame Fashion, "because I'm
sure I have a suit to fit every feminine taste in Omaha."
And the result is the varied group of strictly new
Spring Suits on display Thursday. The notable differ
ence from the Btyles of past seasons is the newness in
fabrics, shadings, designs and the extra fine finish.

Dean Burnett of the college de
livered the closing address. He con
fined his remarks chiefly to a tribute
to the yards officials for the great in
terest in the work of the school and
urged that the annual excursions be
made perpetual.
"These young men and women
whom you see before you are in the
majority products of the farm. They
nre gathered at the school because
they believe in the state of Nebraska,
believe that it is a good and a grow
ing state and that its development
depends largely on the introduction
of modern scientific methods of farm
ing and stock raising. Efficiency is
the quality that is desired and it is
this that they obtain in the school.
"The stock yards lias long helped
to spread the gospel of better agri
culture. We hope that it will con
tinue to do so. And we also hope to
come here each yr in increasing
numbers that we may study the work
ing of one of the greatest markets in
the world. It is a good school and
these who are to go back each and
every one to farms in Nebraska, ap
preciate their opportunity."
