Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority.

He is just as good now as a year ago, at least Fred iClarke says so, and he predicts big !{hings for the. Dutchman again this Eyenr. ‘Wagner is‘the only big leaguer who ever recorded a .300 hitting rec- ord for eighteen years, which'is the time he has played in the majors. When the 1915 season begins he will begin his nineteenth year, and he confidently expects to help up the record. If he goes through the 1916 season, too, Wagner will have rounded out an even score of years in the big time circuit, and there is no reason to believe he will slow up before that time. GOVERNORS OF MOST STATES LIVE IN LUXURY Indianapolis, Feb. 24.—Having re- ceived no encouragement from Samuel M. Ralston, the Democratic ‘governor of. Indiana, the bill to provide him with a costly residence is dead soon after its birth, just as half a dozen others had died before it. Indiana governors, particularly Thomas R. Marshall and Governor Ralston, have preferred to pay rent rather than spend state funds for a mansion. In- vestigation by the office of John' A. Lapp, legislative reference bureau chief, disclosed that other states have not been so slow in bestowing mag- nificence on their chief executives. Illinois, for instance, not only has provided a sumptuous mansion in the exclusive residential district, but has formed the habit of handing the gov- ernor $15,000 a year additional for cigars, servant hire, “upkeep,” recep- tion expenses, etc. Twenty-seven of the forty-eight states are equipped with mansions of various deserip- tions. Nearly 100,000 women and chil- dren are employed in the tobacco fac- tories of the United States. Every Quotation on IRERRAAR] [ARARNAREAN Every Commodity RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERS TIPS.

The essentials of a pure water sup- ply: comsist of. properly controlled catchment areas to collect the precipi- tation, an impounding storage basin, a filtering plant and if the supply is.not by gravity to the consumer a pumping station and finally the distributing system. For some citles artesian wells may take the place of catchment areas, The water at no time should be sub- || Ject to contamination, especially after being flitered. Where open reservoirs are used they should be so protected that no possible access can be had.to them except by the officials and em- ployees. The purification of water is accom- plished by a number of different proc: esses adapted to the different kinds of ‘water to be treated. Such processes may be briefly classified as follows: Mechanical separation, which is ac- complished either by gravity in the form of sedimentation or by adhesion and screening, as with scrubbers, fil- ters and screens. This method is the one most widely used. Sand filtration as compared with the 8o called mechanical filtration is a nat- ural gravity filtration method, slower in action- and subject to certain Hmi: tations—that s, a greater area for pu- rification 1s necessary—and it is not successful in clearing turbid river wa- ters of the finely divided clay con- tents. It is, however, the second mdst widely used method in the United States and is in Europe proportion- ately more widely used. Chemical purificatton, necessary with water of a certain character, accom-, panied by the introduction of carbo- nate of lime, etc,, to soften the water and for the removal of iron and objec- tionable acids. Blological processes, accomplished by oxidation of organic matter by its use as food for organisms, which effect its destruction, and by the death of the objectionable organisms as the re- sult of unfavorable conditions artl- ficlally produced, such as the absence of food and presence of antagonistic organisms; the remafns then being re- moved by the purification process. * | Aeration by evaporation of gases held in solution, the cause of objec- » I!umldll Plllllr fifllu ‘fi' !UFPLV STORE The $ Penc1l Pomter NEVER BREAKS THE POINT - The second shlpment of the now famous Dollar Boston Pencil Sharpen- ers arnved thls mormng and they re gomg as fast as the first lot.
