Nebraska DEFENSE COUNCILS GO AFTER COAL MEN Vice Chairman Couplan of Ne braska, Badk From Chicago, Tells of Tenor of Meet ing Held There. THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. AUGUST 21. 15)17. HISTORIC BUGLE GOES TO FRONT WITH COMPANY B. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 20. (Special.) Vice Chairman Ceorge Coupland of the state council of defense has returned from Chicago, where he attended, a meeting of members of state councils ot many states to consider the coal situation. "They were a very determined set 't men," said Mr. Coupland. "They propose to see that the coal situation is taken care of in the right wav and the companies must cut their high prices and furthermore the railroads and the retail dealers must do the right thing and take no advantage of the situation. We are convinced that the coal operators arc behaving badly ;inu iaKing advantage ot the situation to help themselves instead of the pub in. ( ' r t- uucmui tapper 01 Kansas an Governor Harding of Iowa were very outer against tne coal operators an will make determined efforts in the own states to bring handlers of coal to terms. Neither Army or Navy a;ii rvkxu r: it in tAinuii u ran j Washington Rureau of Th Omaha Rw, j ?S4HthSt... W. Washington. Aug. 20. (Special rclegram.) A letter received at Con- gressman Lobeck's office today indi cated that the Navy department will j not make an exhibit as had been ex- i pecteu it would at the coming state , iair in :eoraska. 1 lie reasons as signed are obvious, the inability of the department to make a creditable exhibition under existing war condi- i tions. every unit of the department j being needed for purposes ot- war preparation and war administration. ' It would, therefore, according to . the letter- received from Secretary i Daniels, be a reflection upon the de- partment to make an exhibit inade i quate to the purposes desired by the iair management. i With this1 action taken by the Xavy department, it is believed that the i War department will co-operate, as i it does not have force enough to 'work out anything like an exhibit I that would be representative in char-iacter. ;!

Human Organs Made Into Pictures X-RAY OUTDONE. (By L. W. BOWER, M. D.) A recent issue of the British Medi cal Journal explains a remarkable discovery of Dr. James -Scherer, and describes a new process of photog raphy by which an abscess of the liv er or kidneys can be photographed from living patients. This will be invaluable because so many people suffer from kidney disease and if it can be recognized in time they, no doubt, can be saved and life pro longed. Such photographs as can be obtained by this new process will show whether there is a blockade in the intestines or not, whether the kidneys are normal and able to do the great burden put upon them. Unfortunately, what the liver can't take care of passes on to -the kidneys, and the intimate relation between the two often causes a disease of the kidneys. One of the poisons retained within the system is uric acid in ex cess. Death would occur if the kidneys did not work day and night in sep arating poisons ancL uric acid from the blood. The danger signals are backache, depressions, aches and pains, heavi ness, drowsiness, irritability, head aches, chilliness, rheumr.tic twinges, swollen joints or gout. This can be avoided by stimulating the kidneys to increased action, and because of its tonic effect on this or gan I would advise any one to pur chase Anuric (which is to be had nowadays at almost any drug store), and take it three times a day, to gether with a pint of hot water, an hour before meals. By gettine rid of the uric acid you can prevent and cure rheumatism, gout and the pains and aches due to this uric acid stored within the system. I have found in practice that Anu ric (double Wength) is more potent than lithia and in most cases it will dissolve the uric acid as hot water does sugar. Adv.
