It is now- conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention us they control the other organs to a remarkable dejrree and do a tremendous amount of work In removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by interim? he blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence, of kidney trouble, iuch as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or buntinir, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or iregrular heart action, warns you that your kidnpys require help immediately tft avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound th.it has had most remarkable success as a kidney and Madder remedy 1s Pr. Kilmer's SwampJioot. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is sure to benettt you. Get a bottle from your druSKist. However.

"Faulty Nutrition and Elimination" these are the cause of the most of the ailments that afflict human beings. Too much indigestible food and lack of power to throw off the poisons

that come from indigestion -these lead to a long line of distressing disorders. Avoid them by eating Shredded Wheat Biscuit a simple, elemental food that contains all the bodybuilding material in the whole wheat grain, including the bran coat which keeps the intestinal tract healthy and clean. Delicious for any meal with bananas or other fruits. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y. advances have been made. It Is estfmated the. pay roll of the Steel Corporation at this time is between $190 -000.000 and $200,000,000. which implies an increase of approximately $20,000.000 under the higher rate of pay. The average wage or salary per employe in 1915 was $2.92 a day, an increase of 4 cents dally over the previous year. The advance to take effect in December will raise the average of wages and salaries to the highest level in the history of the corporation.

STEEL COMPANY TO SPEND $100,000,000 FOR PLANTS BALTIMORE. MI)., Nov. 22. Charles M.. Schwab of the Bethlehem Steel company, who was a guest of the city at a testimonial dinner, announced that plans call for an expenditure of about $.)0.000,000 in plant and equipment here. From 15.000 to 20,000 men ultimately will be employed. The building and construction program for the company as a whole, Mr. Schwab said, will involve the expenditure of fully $100,000,000. STEEL PROFIT THIS QUARTER There were a number of estimates of current earnings discussed yesterday, sll more or less conjectural. It may be stated officially, not conjecturally, t'nat the net returns for the present quarter will show not less than $100,000,000. The mills are now operating to full capacity and the matter of price rests with the management, which is displaying commendable restraint, considering the orders in hand and the importunities (at any price) for fulfillment of orders. In about three months, on or near March. 1. the new plants of the Steel corporation will be available and these will then make for a larger output and more expeditious deliveries. What may be of more Interest to stockholders Is the treasury status of the company. The cash surplus to date Is reported to be between $350,000,000 and $400,000,000, and must Increase at a prodigious rate month by month. Tiie question of the disposition of a tremendous surplus already confronts the management. To have approximately $1,000,000,000 on hand this ultimate surplus is not: an over-esti-I mate) were inconceivably Impolitic. !

Cancellation of the bond indebtedness j or part of it would, place the shareholders to a closer proprietorship In the company and insure a larger net revenue. In any event, the phenomenal profits are the property of the stockholders whether directly or indirectly cursed. disBODILY HOUSEKEEPING

i Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an j abundance of water taken during: dij gestjon is necessary in good bodily keeoinir. To drink a pint of hot 'water before meals Is good practice. and those suffering from a catarrhal condition of the stomach will find benefit in adding about 10 grains (onesixth of a level teaspoonful) of baking soda, drinking it an hour before each meal. Those who are inclined to hyper-acidity should drink slowly a pint of medium cold water, two hours after meals. If your kidneys are sick, or you suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at times, pain in the back or back of the neck, take a little Anuric. tiefore meals. This can be found at any good drug store, and was first discovered by Dr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute, in Buffalo. N. T. When run-down, when life inrtoors has brought about a stagnant condition in the circulation most everyon i is filled with uric acid especially is this so of people past middle age. Thii uric acid in the blood often causes rheumatism. lumbsgo, swelling of hands or feet, or a bag-Hke condition under the eyes. Backache, frequent urination or the pains and stiffness of the Joints and high blood-pressure, are also often noticed. Everyone should drink plenty of pure water and exercise in, the open air as much as possible. I have found that Anuric is an antidote for this uric acid poison and that it will dissolve the accumulation 1 of uric acid in the body much as hot water dissolves sugar. Adv. IJH Hammond, Ind.
