for German U-Boats the Atlantic Most people die eventually or an over-acid condition. If the blood can be rendered more alkaline, the longer wo live. With regular hours, 6 to 8 glasses of water between meals, sensible coarse food and a chance to get the poisons out cf the system, a man will live to be a hundred. But, unfortunately, our highly nervous way of living brinps increased storage of uric acid in the biood. This acts as a poison, and when it accumulates in system we suffer from headaches, backache, neuralgia, lumbajjo, aches or pains any where, irrrjjularity of the water or burning sensationa or the painfvl twinges of rheumatism and gout Get rid of this uric aeid poison by taking a harmless medicine called Annrie, which throws out the nric acid by stimulating the kidneys. Prink a pint of hot water before meals and take Annric (double strength) after meals and at bed tinte. An-n-ric is a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce, Chief of Staff at the Surgical Institnta, Buffalo, NT. Y. Annric can be obtained at almost any drag store. In tablets, 60c, or send 10c to Dr. Pierce for trial package and test it vonrselt. THEY ARRIVED IN I OF TIME The timely approach of pedestrians at the critical moment prevented a holdup In Indiana Harbor last night and possibly prevented the shedding of innocent blood. Christ Blocker. Call Pennsylvania avenue, had just cashed his check in the saloon next door and stepped outside the doorway enroute home when a negro stepped up to him. drew a wicked looking knife., held It close to his neck and demanded his money. Just then a couple of fellows came out of a doorway nearby and started toward the salocn. The negro looking over his shoulder saw them coming and at or.ce changed his mind regarding an attempt at robbery and lowering his arm fled down the street. The police had a good description of him but were unable to get any line on his location. (IT TOLLESTDN An unknown man was killed by Joe Odoriso, 15th avenue and Grant street, Gary, early today following an attempt of the, victim to break into Odoriso'a home. In his story to the police Odoriso said his family, consisting of himself and five children, were sleeping- when they were awakened by the stranger. Odoriso drove the man off after beating: him with a bed stave. lie returned cgain. Odoriso then went to call the police and when he returned he alleges the interrifying his wife and children. Then he administered a second beating, from which the stranger died a short time later at Mercy hospital. Odoriso 13 held by the police. SHOW ON GARY STS, FUNDS UNAVAILABLE Eroadway, Gary's main business thoroughfare, is blocked with snow and business men are suffering much inconvenience but there is but little money to clean streets in time of emergency. Those who suffer from the situation can thank the politics playing of the city council and the activities of the agents of the steel political department, whom Mayor Johnson blamed for trying to discredit him during the campaign by curtailing appropriations.

GARY DRAFT EXEMPTIONS

RIM Due to Many Aliens and Munition Workers; Hundreds ofMen Not to Be Found. Questionnaire returns to Gary's three exemption boards indicate that very few men will be listed in class 1-A. for Immediate service, and that the bulk will be in classes 4 and 5 for three reasons: being aliens, or being married and having dependents, or being employed in the making of steel or some other munitions of war. rinih Sending- Jan. 11. Board No. 1, of which John A. Brennan is chairman. T. J. Toner, surgeon, and A. Brown, recorder, is sending out 187 questionnaires a day. Today it I sent out its 3171st questionnaire and on I Jan. 11, with the other two boards, will complete its work of sending. By that time approximately 10.000 Garyltes will have been forwarded their questionnaires. Over 250 men In board one's jurisdiction have not received their questionnaires because of chance of address. Examinations Start. Gary's draft bourds are examining men In class 1 day by day. These, men will bo subject to instant call. A largo number of those In class 1 claim partial physical defects and seek to be listed for limited military service only anywhere but in the first line trenches. "It Is surprising how many men are married in the first exemption district," said Secretary Brovn. Lawjeri Aid. Gary's seventy-live lawyers are working in shifts at Judge Greenwald's courtroom helping the questionnaire men. Those having dependent wives must bring them along to the court room, or having dependent children above IS must also bring them providing there is no wife to sign the blank. DISCUSSING THE HOUSING SITUATION (Continued from pago one.) that this meeting was called to put it up to East Chicago to handle its own problem but if it could not or would not then it would bo obligatory upon the state board to take over the city and institute remedial measures at the expense of the local tax payer; that if the state board of health needed assistance the military authority of the state would ilso step in. He promised every possible co-operation from all departments of the state In any work that might be undertaken. J. F. McQuaid a3 president of the local board of health, made a written report upon tho result of the survey that is now being completed. The following are the figures which he submitted: Summary 'of housing inspection and sanitary survey in East Chicago: Number violations, section 63, housing law 58 Number violations, section C3, housing law .. 142 Number violations, section 74, housing law 38 Number violations, section "8, housing law 313 Number violations, section 79, housing law 38 Violations sanitary ordinances: Cleanup notices Issued 344 Garbage 608 Manure removal 64 Toilet repair, or outhouse removal 523 Total of notices issued .. 1155 Number houses violating housing law: Number peoplo directly or Indirectly affected by notices 8265 Number children under 10 years affected by notices T-1803 Number boarders and roomers on premises at which notices were Issued ,-3887 Number Inhabitants turned out if notices are enforced 21 Colored inhabitants affected by notices .. 270 Number of houses in which blacks and whites aro mixed 18 Short talks were mado by a number present and it was apparent that there was a sincere desire on the part of the various interests represented to take whatever steps might be possible to Improve housing conditions. Tho above committee will meet with the Manufacturer's Association next Monday and on Wednesday will meet with the Chamber of Commerce. Help Your Country By Buying 1 Liberty B"idl TO- DARKEN HAIR AJW SAGE TEA Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Compound nt any drug store all ready for use. This is the olt-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. IJy darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw- this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and. after another application or two, you hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.
