'1 w Sometimes it is in my arrru Merciful Heaven, how my back hurts in the morning 1 " It's all due to an over-abundance of that poison called uric acid. The kidneys are not able to get rid of it Such conditions you can readily overcome, and prolong life by taking the advice of Dr. Pierce, which is " keep the kidneys in good order." "Avoid too much meat, alcohol or tea. Drink plenty of pure water, preferably hot water, before meals, and drive the uric acid out of the system by taking Anuria." This can be obtained at almost any drug store, in tablet form, and will dissolve uric acid as hot coffee dis solves sugar. ' You know that before an insurance company will take a risk on your life the examining physician will test your water,' and report whether you are a eood risk. You should send a 1 y bottle of water to the chemist at Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and you will receive free medical advice as to whether the kidneys are ItfTected-TOieayour kidneys get sluggish and clog, you suffer from backache, sick-headache, dizzy spells, or twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism or gout; or sfoep is disturbed two or three times a night, take heed, before too late. Get Anuric (anti-uric-acid), for it will put new life into your kidneys and your entire system. ' You will feel full of vim, vigor and vitality, instead of tired, dragged-out and blue. Anuric is many times more potent than lithia, dissolves and carries away uric acid and other poisons from the system. Ask your nearest druggist' for Anuric or send Dr. Pierce ten cents for trial nackage. PLAN NO CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS OF RESERVE BANKS Omaha Clearing House Ob jections , Presented by Con gressman Jefferis. Washington, Nov. 18. (Special Telegram.) The Omaha Clearing House association in a telegram to Congressman Jefferis expresses serious concern over an alleged movement to. raise revenue requir ments in what are known irs "re serve cities" to that of . central , re serve cities. ' "This" the telegram states', "would require the small banks to increase their reserve with the federal bank, approximately $2,500,000, and would work an 'extra hardship because of hn heaw demands from in terior banks due largely to their inability to market products because mainly of lack of transportation fa cilities" The telegram goes on to say that, "increasing reserves at thrs time would necessitate addition al borrowing by local banks of an amount equal to, the reserve in crease, and the association suggests that, in its opinion, the heavy bor rowing by interior banks would be relieved as soon as possible to mar ket products. We strongly protest against the proposed increase." So important was the matter that Congressman Jefferis had a confer ence w4th Governor Harding of the federal reserve bank, Mr. Harding stating that it was not probable that the bank would take on the reclasification of reserve cities and certainly at the present time, he told Mr. Jefferis. that it would be carefully, considered and due re gards shown to the various cities s. f feited throueh notice, and after -proper hearing was given the banks. hrst Experiment m Otis M.

Fred Krug Dies at Family Home, Aged 86 (Continued Fronv Page One.) house opened at Tenth and Far nam streets, the increase, in busi ness demanded a larger home and Mr. Krug purchased, the present site of thebeverage company -in the early '90s. The tract consists of 18 acres on South Twenty-sixth street near Vinton. Came Before Railroads. The remarkable career of Fred Krug is realized when it is known that he came to Omaha in the same year with the late William Paxton and Edward and John Creighton. Such men as Andrew J. Simpson, Charles J. Karbach, Andrew Popple ton, George B. . Lake, Joseph Mil lard, Peter Frenzer, J. V. Van Nos trand, Thomas Swift, A. J. Hanscom, Albert Nast, Elijah Allen, John B. Kuony, Eleazar Wakeley and Will iam Doll came to Omaha at that period. The first years ttf Mr. Krug's career in Omaha were in the golden era of steamboating on the Mis souri river. It was the period just before the advent of railroads. No other period before or since has ap proached it in the splendor of its boats. It was a period which lent encouragement to Mr. Krug's busi ness in Omaha, for he had some thing that offered the comfort and luxury to the passeagers who traveled on boats in the heyday of that most important personage the Missouri river pilot. Beside the brewery which has been an-influence in the commercial history of Omaha, Mr. Krug has been a builder of other enterprises and has ever been a heavy investor in Omaha property.- Many substan tial building scattered over Omaha and South Omaha were erected by him. Builds Theater Here. The Krug theater was an evolu tion of the Transmississippl expo sition days which marked -a, new epoch in the history of Oniaha. When this exposition enterprise was proposed to mark the end of a dark industrial depression, Mr. Krug was one of its most enthusiastic sup porters. A modern musical hall and sum mer garden was built at Fourteenth and Harney streets and after enter taining exposition visitors for two years it was demonstrated that Om- ahao'could support an6ther theater and the Krug theater was built. Turning to the old country for ideas, Mr. Krug conceived th,e idea that Omaha, composed of a cosmo politan population would enjoy a beautiful park with entertainment, musical and refreshment features. Eighteen acres were bought on high land on the military road and in 1901 a German landscape gardener was secured and Krug park was laid out. On September 13, 1906. Mr. Krug and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary surrounded by their eight children and hundreds of friends. '' Si There's always- a smile here for yon. R. H.

WBBBk Compromise'on Peace Pact Loprris in Senate (Continued From Page One.) promise reservations with a view to making enough modifications in the committee program already ap proved by the senate majority to enable the democrats to support the committee resolution of ratification. On this point Senator Lodge was said 'to be insistent as he desired all compromise efforts 'tp be made be fore the vote came on the commit tee measure. ' Meantime in the senate two more reservations were added to the 13 already adopted. 'The mild reserva tionists supported them as the final qualifications which they would help to write into the treaty, but the senate extended its session far into the evening, voting down num erous other proposals in an effort to clear the way before adjournment for work tomorrow on the ratifica tion resolution itself. The two reservations adopted to day related to the labor provisions in part thirteen of the treaty and to voting equality in the league of na tions. The. labor qualifications were of fered bySenator McCumber, repub lican, North, Dakota,--and was ac cepted; 54 to 35, with nine demo crats supporting it. A proposed substitute by Senator King, demo crat, Utah, which w6uld have ex cluded the United States uncondi tionally from the labor provisions was rejected, 48 to 43, the mild re publicans joining the administration senators to override the votes of the irreconsilables and nine democrats. The proposal relative to voting equality? Resented by Senator Len-' root, republican, Wisconsin, won, 55 to 38, on a motion to substitute it for aIess sweeping proposal by Senator McCumber. It then was formally adopted without roll call. Previously a reservation on the same subject' by Senator Johnson, republican, California, had be,en re jected, .46 to 43, with eight demo crats voting for itand the mild res ervationists lining up solidly in op position. Conference Is Held. Th'e wheels of compromise were' started revolving by the mild reser vation republicans early in the day when they held a conference and decided on these propositions: "That .if the democrats voted down the committee resolution of ratification they would support a motion to reconsider; thus bringing the resolution back before the sen ate for changes; "That they would not support a motion to sustain the chair in any ruling bearing out the administra tion's plan for a separate resolution of ratification after the committee proposal had been defeated. That they were willing to see some modification of the preamble reservation requiring the affirma tive assent of other nations to the senate's qualifications; That any further compromise ne gotiations by the democrats must De conducted, not with them, but with the republican leaders; Of these decisions they informed Senators Hitchcock and Lodge, with the added advice to the former to move today for any comprmise he hoped to secure. The conference between the democratic and republi can leaders, at which an earnest effort at compromise was under stood to have been made, followed almost ftnmediately. Senator Lodge was .said to have pressed for quick action and to have been particularly insistent that the democratic leader's counter propos als be in his hands onight, so that a Compromise cVuld be worked out before the committee resolution came to a vote.

ANDREWS Nebraska Favors Plan to Shorten Time of Gov ernment Liability" . To Roads. Washington, Nov. 18. (Special Telegram.) Speaking of the Esch railroad bill which passed the house Monday night, Representative An drews said: . "The roads are to be 'returned to their owners by the first of next Jan uary according to the announce ment of the president. The financ ing of the roads is one of the mot important things to be provided for by the present' congress. Under the federal control act the guarantee of roads would continue for 21 months after the proclamation of peace. The return, of the roads to their owners at an early date necessitates an im portant modification of the original plan. The Esch bill provides for the continuance of that guarantee for a period of six months, Jauuary 1 to June 30, 1920. Under existing legislation of the federal control act jt would continue one year and nine months instead of six montjis. By this change, the Esch bill will re lease the government from that guarantee for a period of one year and three months, which would be a very great saving for the national treasury. "According to the judgment of the interstate commerce commis sion and all who have studied exist ing conditions the government is compelled to assist the roads until normal financial conditions of the country can be at least partially re established, and refusal on the part of the government t do so would certainly precipitate serious financial disturbance for the entire country. The wages of the employes of the roads would probably be largely re duced. The roads would be unable to finance their current business and labor disturbances and financial em barrassment would follow, inevit ably. We will be very fortunate in deed if we can succeed in releasing the government from a part in this work withjn six months after the re turn of the roads, r or. these reasons the government is compelled to as sist very materially in the re-establishment of the normal conditions." Another Judge Holds v Wartime, Dry "Act Is Constitutional Bloomineton, 111., Nov. 18. War time prohibition is valid and still in force, according to a decision given out here today by Judge Louis Fitzhenry of the United States dis trict court.

J he decision is concurred in by Judge Carpenter, who sat en'banc with Judge Fitzhenry to hear cases brought by Woolner & Lo., of Peoria and Hannah and Hogg of Chicago. In general, it follows the findings announced in the latter case by Judge Carpenter yesterday.! The germ theory of the transmis sion of disease was entertained as long ago as 1657, when Rome, was ravaged by the plague.
