An Antidote for
Uric Acid Poison
(By Dr. L. C. BABCOCK)
There is a process going on within
the body which often poisons us. It
is something like (the story of the
snake being able to' kill itself with its
own poisons. This is the formation
of uric acid in excess within the
body. It is a waste product which
takes place in the liver. This poi
sonous uric acid is then passed on
to the kidneys, which act as a filter
to pass off and excrete this poison.
If the kidneys are clogged up, in
active, the poison degenerates these
organs and causes kidney disease. If
it is deposited in the tissues, around
the joints of the body, it causes
rheumatism or gout.
Consequently we must do every
thing to throw off this uric acid poi
son; and simple methods are best.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of water between meals; a pint of
hot water, morning and night, is
splendid. Take Anuric (double
strength) three times a day awhile
and get the kidneys to working by
flushing out this poison, lhat pain
ful affliction, known as gout, as well
as muscular rheumatism, is caused
by the uric acid crystals being de
posited in the big toes or tissues.
The man who uses his brain, perhaps
over-taxing his nervous energy will
suffer fits 'of ' blues, depression,
headache, sleeplessness, loss of
memory, all due to the poison of
uric acid. The man who does phy
sical work, using muscles, ocasionally
complains of sluggishness, muscular
tired feeling, muscular stiffness or
aches, neuralgic twinges symp
toms alldue to this uric acid accumu
lation. In every case I advise hot
water, and Anuric taken three times
daily a simple, safe remedy, which
. is to be had at almost every drug
tore. Adv.
NEW ANGLE TO
FOOD CONSERVATION
Harding Says Individuals
Should Take Stock.
We are to understand that the
natural food resources of the country
must be conserved. We hear it on all
sides. We are to feed the world for
a while. Now let's take stock and see
what it means to us.
We know we are a curious people
In a way. We are immensely prone to
lean backward in our desire to go
forward. It's the natural trait of an
impulsive people. We slash and cut
right and left letting the chips fly
wherever they happen to go and to
some extent that's a commendable
trait But after awhile we generally
stop long enough to find out what's
happening and thereafter we usually
temper things a bit.
Quite likely we are going to begin
cutting out what we consider as the
luxuries of eating and right there,
without we consider matters a little,
we are apt to mistake what is and
what isn't a luxury.
Naturally among other things con
sidered' comes Ice Cream, because
some of us still hold to the notion
that because Ice Cream was once a
luxury It still is. To be sure we can
get along without it for quite a long
time. If we had to go to the fuss we
did in the old days it would be a
luxury, a luxury of time, money and
patience. But it isn't so much a
luxury today.
For 10 cents you can get quite a
respectable quantity of it almost any
where today, and after all's, said and
done it's a little else than good rich
cream made more attractive and
palatable than the same amount of
ordinary cream. And even our stern
Puritan fathers with all their econo
mies and hardships did not deny
! themselves a reasonable amount of
milk and cream.
So the next time an economy im
pulse overwhelms you, remember Just
how much real food as well as real
enjoyment you can get from a plate
of Ice Cream and then satisfy your
natural craving and at the same
time calm your conscience.
Ana, ttkentally, for next Sunday's
dessert we have prepared a special
combination, Apricot Marmalade,
which any Harding dealer will be
glad to furnish. It's a compact in
viting dessert, ready to serve with
out waste nourishing and attractive.

For Only J Q Per Word
turbed by the questions of Attorney
Baker ai.J steadfastly denied that she
had ever included the home of Mrs.
Melson in her visiting list. She gave
her present address as the Henshaw
hotel.
End .Now in Sight.
When the hearing was called yes
terday morning Attorney Baker -for
Maloney, insisted that the city Hin
di either dismiss the charges in
stanter, or proceed without further
delay to a conclusion of the hearing.
He charged that all sorts of extrane
ous matter and hearsay evidence had
been allowed to go into the records
and that it was not fair to Maloney
or to the council to allow the case to
drag in its present slate.
"You have stuck pins into Maloney
atid when he squealed you punished
him," said Attorney Baker.
The council will resume the hearing
at 9 o clock this morning and it is
expected the end will be reached be
fore noon. '
Glad to Get Rest.
At the conclusion of her testimony
Mrs. Melson was requested to reniain
in the council chamber.
She said she had been doing a
Marathon all day and was clad to
have the rest.
'If you had a class of that currant
jelly I was putting up this morning
you would be feeling better," she re
marked to Attorney timer Thomas,
who had provoked her to angry words,
Attorney 1 nomas requested th
council to have Mrs. Melson step into
another room and identify Mrs
rhclps. '
Question of Reputation.
'Mrs. Melson," said Thomas, "ha
made statements here that might rob
Mrs. Phelps ot all the reputation sh
ever had."
The mayor remonstrated against re
quiring Mrs. Melson to go to another
room. I he council, however, voted
otherwise. The mayor declined to be
a party to the matter.
I refuse to issue the order. If the
others want to fcscort her into an
other room, they have that privilege,'
said the mayor.
"Mrs. Melson, if she is utfwilling to
submit to that test brands her own
testimony as false," said Attorney
J noma:.
Mrs. Phelps Called.
"Call Mrs. Phelps. We will now let
Mrs. Melson see Mrs. Phelps for the
first time, added lhomas, with con
siderable fire.
Elsie Phelps took t lie witness chair.
City Attorney Rine questioned Mrs.
f helps:
"State your name."
"My name is Ellen Lowrey Phelps."
"Do you kno.v C. W. Pipkin, Har
vey Wolt, Y . S. Dolan and Steve Ma
loney.''
"Yes."
"And Winckler and Tylee?"
"Yes."
"Are you familiar with facts con
ccrning the conspiracy case at Chad
ron? Tell facts of how you happened
to get into the case.
Referred to Detective Firm.
"A. young woman friend referred
nie to the Omaha Detective associa
tion. I went up to the association of
fice and Mr. Dolan told me he wanted
a girl to go to Chadron.
"While at the office I heard a girl
tell Tylee that Maloney was on the
telephone, and later the office girl
told Wolf that Maloney wanted to
speak to him on the telephone. I
spoke to Maloney over that telephone
and Maloney asked me if 1 was the
girl that was going to Chadron. I
told Paul Sutton about the case, but
tjic case did not look bad at that time."
How Recognized Maloney.
"When you spoke over the phone
at the detective association offices,
how do you know you were speaking
to Maloney?"
"Wolf said Maloney wanted to
speak to me."
The chief purpose of the prosecu
tion in calling Mrsi Phelps to the
stand on this occasion was to con
nect Maloney with the Omaha Detec
tive association through the alleged
telephone conversation between Ma
loney and the association office.
Mrs. Phelps related in substance
the testimony she offered at Chadron
live weeks ago, and wiich was re
ported in The Bee in detail at that
time.
Tells of Chadron Case.
Mrs. Phelps went into all the de
tails of what transpired at Chadron,
speaking in a deliberate tone and with
the same equanimity which marked
her appearance at the Chadron pre
liminary hearing. She wore a chipped
straw black sailor hat and checked
blue summer dress with sailor collar.
City Attorney Rine inquired wheth
er the mayor thought he should ex
amine the witness relative to her ac
quaintance with Paul Sutton, where
upon the mayor held he wanted the
evidence confined to charges against
Captain Maloney.
Will Try to Impeach.
Attorney Baker said to Attorney
Rine: "If you want to show that this
witness is a paragon of a lady, you
may; but if I wish to impeach the
witness, that is my affair. They took
many days to show that Maloney did
certain things, and why thif witness
should be protected, I do not know."
Attorney Baker questioned Mrs.
Phelps:
"Where do you Uvt?"
"At the Henshaw hotel. I have :
been chased around by that bunch so J
much." i
"You had a protector in the per
son of Paul Sutton, didn't you?"
Sutton As Protector.
"I did."
Mrs. Phelps testified that since the
Chadron affair she had lived at the
homes of Paul Sutton, Ray Sutton
and Attorney Brome; rented a room
at home of Mrs. John Ford, 811 South
Twenty-second street, and then went
to the Henshaw.
, "Who has paid all of your ex
penses?" "Paul Sutton, except on first trip
to Chadron, when I used Omaha De
tective association money."
Mrs. Phelps refused to be pinned
down to exact periods of time or dis
tance. She declared she was not a
good judge of distances.
Doesn't Stop to Think.
"Don't you ever stop to think?"
Mrs. Phelps asked Baker.
"I might get brain fever if I did,"
he replied.
On another occasion the witness
asked Baker whether he ever forgot
lew words, whereupon Bak said he
was not testifying.
"Then all you heard from Steve in
this matter was that he wished you
good luck and would see you again
on your return from Chadron. when
he spoke to you over the telephone?
wnat ylee Said.
"Well, Tylee and Winckler told me
that Steve Maloney and Tom Dennl
son were connected with the Omaha
Detective association."
"When did you meet Paul Sutton
alter your first visit to the detectiv
association.'
"Saturday evening, at the institute.'
"Is it a place where baths are given
to men and women.
"Yes. I owned it at that time,
am not going into details."
"Who did you employ at the insti
tutc."
Rine objected and was sustained
Rine said if Baker could show that
Maloney was employed there, h
would not object to witness answer
mg.
In Sutton's Employ.
"How long were you in cmplov o
Mr. Sutton?"
"About five months."
"What did vou do?"'
"I helped h!m out on a lot of minor
matters.
"What were those minor cases?"
"If I told, 1 would bring in a lot of
prominent people, so I won t answer.
"W hat you did was to investigat
bath houses and report your findings
to Mr. Sutton, did you?
"That was some of the work."
"After you had reported that some
had been conducted improperly, do
you know whether Sutton pulled the
places?
"I don't know."
Witness Is Obstinate.
"Did you do work for Sutton other
than investigating bath houses?
"I am nert going to tell you."
"What was the nature of the work?'
"I am not going to tell you."
ho paid you for investigating
bath houses and doing other mysteri
ous workr1
"Mr. Sutton paid all expenses."
"Ever had any detective experience
before you worked with Sutton?
"1 had none. I didn't read any of
those detective stones.
"Do you know Mrs. Melson?"
"I do not."
Denies Melson Story.
"Were you ever at 514 or 516 South
Nineteenth street in company with
Paul Sutton in a room together?"
"I was not. Never went to that
house in my life."
"Was you not at that house when
Sutton told Mr. and Mrs. Melson that
if they were good to you and Sutton
they would be protected after May 1?"
"Was never at the Melson house
in mv life."
"Did you not meet Fred Adkins in
the hallway at 514 South Nineteenth
street and you were in a nightgown?
I don t know Fred Adkins.
Adkins was called upon to stand
up and Baker asked Mrs. Phelps if
she knew Adkins.
She repeated she had never met
Adkins, nor did she know him.
Adkins Protected.
"She knows me," said Adkins,
whereupon Attorney Thomas severe
ly condemned him, adding that some
body should protect Mrs. Phelps
against such libel.
the crowd heartily cheered
Thomas and a spectator was re
strained from making a rush at Ad
kins, who is a large man.
further questioning by Attorney
Baker brought denial from Mrs.
Phelps that she had gone by the
name ot tiara Watson or had en
gaged in a questionable medical busi
ness at 4907 Thirty-eighth street.
Mrs Margaret Melson was called.
Attorney Thomas asked her: "Where
have you been today?"
Refuses to Answer.
"Who wants to know? Why didn't
you notify me? I refuse to answer."
How often have you seen Elsie
Phelps, any time, any place?"
I couldn t state exactly.
"Have you given the name of Mrs.
Woods in the last twenty-four hours,
lave you?
I have not.
"When was the last time you saw
Mrs. Phelps?"
I -Junk in city hall elevator and at
the Strand theater."
"Did you try to get a look at Mrs.
Phelps at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets?"
"I did not."
"Were you with members of tfre
Omaha Detective association in an
utomobile trying to get a look at
Mrs. Phelps?" v
I was not.
"Where were you during the lunch
hour today?"
Near Hanscom park.
"Did you talk to Dolan today?"
"I did. I told him I was on your
side."
"Didn't you know the whole police
department was looking for you?"
I hey don t know me very well.
Grows Testy.
Mrs. Melson grows testy toward
Elmer Thomas. Tells city council she
is built for comfort, not speed.
What kind of house did you one-
rate at 514 South Nineteenth street?"
"Just a house where we could have
little fun."
"Did you testify that Paul Sutton
bought beer at your house-?"
Yes, 1 said that he only paid 25
cents a bottle, while others paid $1 a
bottle. He did not pay for his room."
"Are vou positive vou met Mrs.

Phelps at your house in Tunc last
year?"
"I am."
"Where did you live then?"
"Five hundred and fourteen South
Nineteenth street."
"When did you meet her again?"
"I dont know."
"You seemed to know before."
"What is the use of going over this
again? If you keep on asking me so
much I will walk away and won't tell
anything."
"Was Mrs. Phelps at your house
in September?"
"That's all foolishness. I am not
sure when she was there, but 1 know
she was at my house in August."
"But the last time you testified you
said she was there is September?"
"Then she was there."
Mrs. Melson then addressed the
city council:
"I am not going to be made a goat
of. I was not built for speed, but for
comfort.. (Mrs. Melson is a woman
of goodly proportions.) 1 am not go
ing over these questions again."
Attorney Thomas tried to question
Mrs. Melson further, but she told
him to look on the paper he was hold-
i 11 c for anv information he wanted
Mrs. Melson finally cooled down
and slated Mrs. Phelps had been at
her place more than six or seven
times and that Paul Sutton had been
there many times.
City Attorney Rine questioned Mrs.
Nelson.
"Did I understand you to say the
Riverside is the same kind of a place
ps your house?"
"Yes, beer, dancing and a good
time."
"Did you ever discuss with Mrs.
Rohr of Florence a matter of being
paivl money for testifying here?"
"I did not."
Baker Makes Quiz.
Attorney Ben S. Baker quizzed
Mrs. Melson with result that the wit
ness testified that Elsie Phelps had
been to her place on various occasions
with Paul Sutton and on another
occasion with "Jack."
"On those occas'ons," asked Baker,
"would Mrs. Phelps and Sutton ab
sent themselves from others in the
house?"
"They would." -
Murray Represents Citizens.
Thomas B. Murray, attorney, an
nounces that he has been engaged by
citizens to attend to the legal details
in connection with proposed recall
petitions against Mayor Dahlman and
Commissioners Withnell, Hummel
and Parks.
The petition blanks will allege that
the four officials mentioned, "Did
wrongfully, wilfully, and for political
reasons only, and in complete disre
gard for the rights of the citizens of
Omaha, and in complete disregard for
discipline in the police department,
refuse to remove Captain Stephen Ma
loney from office." They will also
state that die action of these officials
was "an insult and an affront to the
citizens of Omaha."
Attorney Murray represented the
United Improvement Clubs of Omaha
during the first days of the hearing of
the Maloney charges. R. J. Sutton,
secretary of that improvement organi
zation, is one of the leading promoters
of the recall petitions, but he ex
plained that the United Improvement
Clubs are not officially identified with
the project.
