not concerned .with sentiment, but
plain business. There is more unin

this should be drawing' interest in

than unv preceding. At present it is
believed the non taxable bonds will
bear 3 per- cent and tho taxable
bonds 4'4 per cent, tbo life ot the

Daily Health Talks
A M'ORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
: BY DOCTOR WATSON.
People are easily frightened when
they think something Is the matter
with tbelr lungs or heart, and well
they may be; but few people under
stand the dangers of diseased kid
neys. These organs have a duty of
vital importance to perform, and If
they are diseased, there is no telling
how or where tho symptoms may ap
Bcar., The kidneys are filters, and
Ahcr.c they are healthy they remove
the poisons from the blood and puri
fy it. When the kidneys are diseased
the poisons are spread everywhere,
and one of these poisons Is uric acid.
The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various
places, lo the form of urate salts in
tho feet, ankles, wrists and back
often forming bags undor the eyes.
Sometimes the resulting trouble Is
called rheumatism, lumbago," sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
In the bladder, diabetes and Bright s
disease.
I Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., In re
cent years, discovered that a certain
combination of remedies would dis
solve uric acid (urate salts) In the
system. .He found thlB combination
to be harmless, so that be made it up
In tablets, ot double strength, . and
called them Anurlc Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human sys
tem as hot coffee dissolves sugar. It
you have uric acide troubles, don't
delay in taking Anuric Tablets, which
can be secured In the drug stores.
You ean write Dr. Pierce, too. and he
will tell you what to eat and how to
live so that more uric acid will not
form in your system. Dr. Pierce will
not charge for this advice. Adv.
