JAPANESE MISSION WILL VISIT OMAHA i Omaha Commercial Olub Rep resentatives Given Promise in Washington; Other Mis sions Invited to Come. WMhlDston Burton ox The onii net, 725 Fourteenth Street, N. W. (By . a Staff Correspondent.) Washington, June 29. (Special Telegram.) The Japanese mission shortly to arrive in this country will pay a visit to Omaha on its trip to the national capital. This information was ascertained today through a call on Third Assist ant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long, by Congressman Loebeck and Commissioner Manley of the Com mercial club of Omaha. While the decision of Secretary Baker in regard to considering Fort Crook or any other site in Nebraska for a location of one of the canton ments in the Central west was dis heartening the members of the Com mercial c,lub committee remaining in Washington, decided to do what they could toward obtaining numberless activities for the city in which they are enthusiastically interested and which will be essential in a national way in the next year or two. Others Are Invited. Incidentally, Mr. Manley, who is a believer in pushing the city wherever possible, and Congressman Lobeck had a conference with Brickmnage Long of the State department, at which they gave him assurance that the Belgian or .Russian war mis sions now in this country would in clude Omaha in their itineraries, they would receive the warmest hospital ity from Omaha and its citizens. It was out of this general suggestion to Mr. Lone, who has been designated as "chief of foreign missions visiting the United States," that the coming Japanese mission became uppermost. Mr. Manley hied with commission er of Immigration Caminetti today a request as the representative ot Omaha's commercis' organization that that states of Nebraska and Iowa be made an independent immigration district instead of being continued as nart of the St. Louis district. The commissioner stated that when there were sufficient funds to justify the re quest he would give Omaha serious consideration. Numbers Now Only Used For U. S. Army Regiments By Aeeoclated Preaa.)

Bl- V. uvius.i Tt was not until the discovery by Si Arthur Oarrod. in 1848, that the blood of gouty patients contained uric acid m an excessively large amount, that much attention was paid to this subject. Later scientific men learned mat in gout uvc in rheumatism! . the Kidneys do not work properly to throw off the uric acid poison; consequently urn; cm crystals are deposited in and about the joints, where an inflammation is set up in the nearby tissues. When for any reason the circulation is slug gish, as in the joints of the toes, crystals formed from uric acid are deposited there, and one suffers from gout; or, when deposited in the tis sues, one suffers from muscular rheu matism. My only medicine to counter act the uric acid and to throw it out of the system is tablets of Anuric (double strength), three times a day. The nain in the back, lumbago, pain in the neck, creaky joints, stiff ness in muscles, have all been proven to be caused by uric acid poison in the blood and tissues. The kidneys soon become diseased, then there often follows disease in the muscles of the heart. Kidney disease carries away a large nercentacre of our people. What is to be done? What can the ordinary per son do to properly balance bodily health? The answer is easy. Eat less meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent before meals for awhile, such as Anuric (double strength), obtained at almost any drug store. It was nrst discovered by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute in Buffalo. N. Y. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot water will dissolve sugar.
