Wheeler, some time back offered the presidency of the United States I Chamber of Commerce with head quarters in Washington, felt that It would be difficult for him to handle the food situation In Illinois and il rect the operations in the chamber in Washington at the same time. He consulted with Hoover and the possi bilities of his developing the cham ber into a forceful cog In the war preparedness machinery of the coun- 1 try led to an agreement that he should accept the presidency of the chamber.

Are chauffeurs engaged in produc tive employment? This question is causing: consid erable worry to the officers of Provost Marshal General Crowder*s staff. The status of automobile drivers arose In connection with the pre paration of a list of necessary oc cupations under the "work or fight" frier. This order becomes effective July 1 and local boards all over the country are clamoring: for the list to guide them. This Hat probably will be ready before the end *of the week. In the list of nonproductive occu pations domestic servants are in cluded. Chauffeurs in the employ of . private families, therefore, are affected by the order.

Whether victory results from tha cannon's mouth de pends on the men behind the guns It only takes a knock-down blow to fin ish a man with shaky nerves, with kidneys or liver impaired. It was not until the discovery by Sir Arthur Gcrod, in 1848, that the blood of gouty patients contained uric acid 'n an excessively large I amount, that much attention was paid! to this subject Later scientific meni learned that in gout, also rheumatism, | the kidneys do not work properly toi throw off the uric aci? poison; con sequently uric acid crystals are de posited in and about the joints, in the muscles, where an inflammation it set up !n the nearby tissues. Hague has said, that "gout is rheu matism and rheumatism is gout." if ' uric acid is formed in excess within the body It is passed on to the kid- j neys, which act as a filter to pass off ibis poison. If the excess is not excreted by the kidneys, it Is dis tributed through the tissues. The choice sites for. such storage are in the Joints, muscle-sheaths, where the circuJatlatt is weakest, and where also the alkalinity of the blaad la lowest. Consequently we must do everything ! to throw off this uric acid poison, and ? simple methods are best. Flush the kidneys by drinking 6 to 8 glasses j of water between meals. A pint of 1 hot water a half hour before meals. Take Anuric (double strength) three times & day for awhile. Invigorate and assist the kidneys to flush out the uric acid poisons. During cold or rainy weather the circulation is apt to be sluggish and b'ood stream re tarded If uric acid is present it is apt to clog the capillaries. This ac counts for many acute conditions, i such as headache, neuralgia, gastric disturbances and dull mind. As the condition progresses, we often have lumbago. disease of the heart and arteries, breaking down of the* kid neyn. rheumatism and gouty symp toms. Eat less meat drink more water and take . An-u-ric (double strength) after meals and at bedtims for several weeks at a time, and you Will be free from uric acid and dis eases that follow.

Baseball Invades Italy Delighting Her Soldiers One of the curious effects of the war is the international interest which has been aroused In American 5ports. Italy apparently is the most recent victim cf the baseball germ. Football, as played in America, as well as the national game of this country, also has taken hold of the popular interest in Italy. The Gazetta dello Sport, one of the most influential sport journals of that country, is rtkhtf a fund for tl.e purchase of baseball?, bats and footballs und the distribution of prizes among the soldiers to stimulate competition. (General Approve*. Gen. Pennella, commander of the Second Italian Army, in a letter to the Gazetta dello Sport, says that football and baseball games are of inestimable value in the training for war. He praises the initiative of the Gazetta dello Si ort and pays that he firmly believes that the stimulation of baseball and football competition among the various units of the Italian army will have the most gratifying and important results in maintaining the morale of the troops. Gen. Pen nella is especially pleased with base tall as an ani to training and the maintenance of the morale of the troop*.
