THE FOOD PACKAGE HABIT.
At the grocery store you can find a certain cereal that
recently sold for six cents a pound when taken from a bar
rel. But probably you bought the same article in a small
pasteboard box, for nine cents for the pound package. A
stylish corton in colors, even if selling for a higher price,
will sell itself to many people, particularly if adorned by
a prettv girl picture. But as you soon dump your charm
ing maiden in the rubbish, her futile smile costs high.
Also you consume perfectly good paper stock, and help
a bit to increase the price of everything made from paper
pulp. So far two reasons, some home economics author
ities tell us to buy more of our foods in bulk form.
Some food manufactures can show that by machinery
they fill their small packages without greater expense than
is involved by the other system. Still the actual compari
son of prices at the stores show that many foods sold in
bulk or from barrels are less expensive.
The distributor of bulk products would have to demon
strate to the public through some form of publicity that
his receptacles are just as sanitary as any paper box could
be. And this method calls on the grocer for a higher
standard of cleanliness.
The sale of foods in small packages has been greatly
promoted by the feeling that they are cleaner. The gro
cer who used to keep salt fish and nails in the same barrel
is either dead pr bankrupt. But some towns still have
those who keep the corn meal barrel exposed to all the
dust of the street exposed to all the dust of the street.The
grocer is a busy and hurried man. If he fussed too much
with his barrels and his hands, the customers waiting for
him to deliver a yeast cake would probably kick, So he
may favor the food package plan of distribution, as as
suring cleanliness and simplifying his work.

A WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
BY DOCTOR WATSON.
People are easily frightened when
they think something ia the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. ( The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons ia uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back often forming bags under the
3yes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
s called rheumatism, lumbago, Sciatica
ind backache. . Finally, come stone
n the bladder, diabetes and Bright'a
iisease.
Dr. Pierce, of TJuffalo, N. Y., in recent
pears, discovered that a certain com
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anurio Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have nric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how to live bo that more nric acid
will not form in your system. Dr. Pierce
will not charge for thia adrice.
