Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. Pierce discov- ered a combination of native reme- dies that he called Anuris—which drives out the uric acid from the sys- tem, and in this way the pain, swell- ing and inflammation subside, If you are a sufferer from rheumatism, can ovtain Anuric at any drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid. to a dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys.

TRAPPING BEAVERS TO SAVE FARMERS NOT. VERY “LUCRATIVE PROFESSION The average? dal? Who has been asked fo fork over. for.a. beaver collar or real beaver coat,, or any- fhing’else in which the little masonic- tailed critters hide enters has visions of Golconda when. it is ‘reported that State Game Warden, William Reko has appointed professional trappers to garner the little varmints who have been making life: .piserable for so many Missouri slope farmers. As 2 matter of ‘fact, Mr. Reko ad- vises, the campaign 6?; extermination will-no more than: barely pay for it- iself. Pelts at this time of year are not “prime.” They do well to bring $5.00, in spite of any idea the layman may have formed. of the value of this much coveted fur. Beaver pelts are at their best in March, when they will probably average $8.00 the hide. Just now, when the state game department is compelled ‘by the numerous comp- laints of farmers to do what the laws of North Dakota prohibit any ordin- ary individual from doing—i. e. trap beavers. duting» a closed season which! will not*;expire for ‘several price for, the’ pelts.,,. : Frees: Versus’ Beavers Among? all North Dakota fur-bear- ing animals,’ teaver are,*perhaps, the most«!'vdluable. ‘Tie’ question the state ‘game and fish ‘wardens have had to decide; is ‘whether..beaver are a y velopment. of the ‘state than’ trees, Beaver are plentiful’ and: native *'to- the land. Trees in’ many regions aré “foreign to the soil and must be carefully culti- vated. An ambitious ‘beaver can easi- ly put a ten-year-old ‘tree’ out of busi- ness in an hour. Furthermore, the lindustrious little creatures, build dams across any stream which they may- take a fancy to; flood the bot- tom lands.and drown the farmer's crops. The old-time ranchman, who had so many cattle that he didn’t care to county ‘em, and to whom a cow more or less meant little, ad- mired the beaver, because he did dam up‘the creeks and create a natural reservoir which furnished the herds with drinking*water during the dry season. The‘ present day stockman findsthe beaver-dam an expert trap ‘for his pure-blood.. stock... The _bar- Trier is most deceptive; the big Here: ford or Shorthorn, or Durham or Hol- stein ventures out on the apparently dry land, crashes through the brush, is caged, and dies there. The mod- ern stock-nan finds’ ‘an’ ‘occasional well and’ a windmill. much more econ- omical than the ‘beaver reservoir. And even’he- today; has deserted the ‘acquatic ‘mason. State Game Warden Reko. has two experienced, trappers engaged . west of tha river exterminating the excess beaver population. They: may turn. partment enough pelts to pay for their services, but they are not expected to earn any great profit. Warden Reko has . rejust ,.iurned }from a meeting of the state fish and game board at Fargo where it was recommended that a five-years closed ;season be adopted to preserve. prairie chieken in the first congressional dist- rict. Reko does not hope for a great deal from a closed season on prairie |chicken. He feels they aré doomed lin all of the more thickly populated sections of the state. He does be- lieve that an open season of beaver, which would result in their almost complete extermination, or, at least, jin greatly reducing their number, iwould be most advisable.
