It would have been ended within a month or two. Think of the loss of life and treasure which at that time a force of well trained men would have prevented." The Incident In the War of HIS, when a volunteer- army fled from the British with a loss of eight killed and 11 wounded and permitted the Invaders to sack Washington, was also cited by Mr. La Roche as showing the need for trained men In a crisis.

Means of Resistance Discussed. He said that he had learned from conversing with military engineers that the War Department was in pos session of plans whereby any Invasion of the West Coast of the country could be met by a retirement to the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains until sufficient force could be raised to drive the invaders out.

Nordvtk's WHAT'S THE CAUSE OF GOUT, RHEUHATISM, LUMBAGO ? Prop. H. Strauss, M. D., of the Royal Charity Hospital, Berlin, says, "The cause for an attack of gout, rheu matism, lumbago, is supplied by the increase oi uno aciu in iuo blood serum, the result of various causes the most frequent of which is renal. , Before an attack, one suffers sometimes from headache, neuralgia, twinges of pain here and there or confined to a single locality." Dr. Levison and Dr. Strauss both hold that a long continued disturbance of the kidney function, resulting in an accumula tion of uric acid in the blood serum, causes these painful afflictions. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when the back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sedi ment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; when you suffer with eick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid etomach ; or you have the rheumatic pains or lumbago, gout, sciatica, when thn wpathpr in hari do not neglect -the warning,, but try simple means. As Dx. STRAr88 says, the amount of fluid should be regular and distrib uted thru the day. Take six or eight glasses of water thru the day, a glass of lukewarm water at night just before going to bed, or a pint of hot water a half hour before meals (with onehalf teaepoonful of bicarbonate of soda.) Then obtain at your nearest drug store Anusio, double or triple strength. This to flush the kidneys and to act as a tonic so that the kidneys will filter out the uric acid poison. Anttric, double or triple strength, is more potent than Utbia, and in moat cases it will dissolve the urkf acid as hot water does sugar. arm had to be amputated Just below the elbow and he may lose one or both eyes.
