Oct 31. Ghastly horror grim terrors
' war'i hideousness and the agony of
many souls arc associated with the
thought of a hatf hospital. And the
fact that Camp Howie hospital is semi-
permanent connotes more awfulnrsi.
Within one year or perhaps within a
much shorter span the fitty-sevru
buildings now bare and almost empty
way echo the groan if the wounded
nd dying who haVe been brought from
the gaping pit of Kurope's chasm oi

the endurance of out indulged imagi-
nations. To be sure the thought is all con
jecture :i ml doesn't niiirn the pres-
ent medical stall ot the ln-.pital.

A NEW INVENTION
Wonderful discoveries injtica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis-
cience and medicine as well as covered a new ajrvnt called
mechanics are made every day An-u-ric (double strength)
in the United States. A reaper
for cutting sugar cane is one of
the recent successes.
Equally as interesting is it to
know that Dr. Pierce of the
Surgical Institute Buffalo
N. Y. has discovered a new kid-
ney and backache remedy which
is having splendid success in
' coring many bladder and kidney I
troubles. Ever since the discov-
ery of uric acid in the blood by
Scjbeele in 1775 and the bad
effect it had upon the body
dentists and physicians have
' striven to rid the tissues and the
blood of this poison. Because of
its over-abundance in the sys
tem it causes backache pain
hero and there rheumatism
s tout gravel neuralgia and scia
which will throw out and com-
oletely eradicate this uric acid
from the system. Anuric has
proved to be many times more
potent than lithia and conse-
quently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheuma-
tism or gout or many other dis-
eases which arc dependent on an
accumulation of uric acid within
the body for you can obtain
Anuric at your nearest drug
store for 60c large pkg.
If backache scalding urine or
frequent urination bother (
distress you or you suspect kitU
ney or bladder trouble Anurio
will surely relieve or cure you.
Send 10c to Dr. Pierce for
trial pkg. Anuric tablets.

Out back of where the new kitchen

Kvery afternoon from 2 until 4

NEW CHANCELLOR

IN THE KEET CASE
Count Vnn Hcrtlins Was One

( Ol'l-.NHAt .r.N' Oct. M - Count
(ieorne von llertliiiK who has heen ap-
Dointed to succeed Dr. Michatlts at
(icrman imperial chancellor was for
long years the leader of the I atludic
renter in the reichstai; He was one
of the few h.riihle and first tfrailr per
sonalities anions ttie lion socialist rep-
re' mtativrs.
Kvrn after his retirement from the
reichstag to hrcome premier of Havaria
the count remained one of the guiding
influences in the Catholic party and as
head of the government of the senjnj
largest federal state he has id.iyed an
tiiiortant role in imperial affairs dur-
ing the war.

campaign (or a long time and when he
withdrew his support Von Hethmann-

Count von Herding may have asked for
time in which lo consider the appoint-
ment in order to consult with reuhstag
leaders according to their expressed
wish. In this case he would hear noth-
ing favoraldc from the socialists and
part of the radicals who already had
expressed themselves as being opposed
to his candidacy
To the Catholic center he would of
course prohahly he acceptahle and the
National I. literals would also he will-
ing to work with hurt. The new chan-
cellor's nam' has hren an anathema to

Claims Probable .From "Dick"

SPRINGFir.l.I). Mo.. Oct. 31.-A
three-cornered legal contest to deter-
mine who is entitled to the reward
money olfered for the arrest and con-
viction of the persons who kidnaped
Uahy Lloyd keet promisrs to be as
spirited as the trial of Claude J Pier-
sol. 1 iersol was convicted at Marsh-
field and sentenced to thirty-five years
in prison as thr principal of the band.
May Reach $3 630.
Six hundred dollars are at stake now.
There will be another $M for each
conviction and at the Piersol trial the
state charged that there were six oth-
ers concerned in the abduction plot be-
sides Piersol making a reward total
of SVtidl oustanding.
Those who prohahly will claim t'lr
rewards are George Walker "Dick"
Carter who turned state's evidence and
the officer who arrested Piersol.' At
present the odds are slightly in favor
of Walker service car owner who gave
the first information concerning the
band by telling of (he use made of his
car.
No One May Get It.
Proclamations by Governor Gardnet
and by judges of the county . colli con
tamed the otfer of a "$J(K) reward for
the infoi rnalion leading to the arrct
and conviction 1$r-ch member of the
fi.md who kidnaped Haby Lloyd Kect."
The county offered a similar $.W)0 re-1
ward. Prosecuting Attorney O'Dav says i
he believes no one is entitled to the re-
ward hecausc the band was under ar- j
rest at the time the reward was posted.
Some speculation has been indulged
in as to whether Piersol would be en-
titled to the reward if he eleited to
make a clean breast of everything now
Several attorneys expressed "the. belief
that under the terms of the reward
otfer if Piersol should choose to confrs.
and give the information necessary to
convict the oilier defendants he woulu
be entitled to the reward. Likewise it
was pointed out if any of the six re-
maining defendants wished to confess
he probably would be entitled to claim
(he reward and would be granted im-
munity for 'his confession.
