Weekly Health Talks
a WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
nr DOCTOR WATSON.
People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
rvmptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. W hen the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts — in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back — often forming bags under the
Byes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
l)r. I.- ■ • . «>f Buffalo, IT. Y., in recent
years, c..- cuveied that :« i rtain com
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid (urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system ns hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don’t delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You cau write Dr. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how to live so that more uric acid
will not form in your system. Dr. Pierce
will not charge for this advice.

MERCANTILE COMPANY
BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS
FOR THE BENEFIT
OF ILLITERATES
Bill Introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf-The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South—Will Spend Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.
The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light a con
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now Introducing bills to promote the
education of Illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena
tor Hoke 8mith, of Georgia, has Intro
duced a bill In the Senate "to promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per
sons of foreign birth,” and the earn®
measure has been Introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
of Alabama.
The Introduction of thle Important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of Its negroes and
mountain w'hltes, has long borne a
reputation for Illiteracy out of propor
tion to that of the rest of the coun
try. Just what steps wlM be immedi
ately taken as the result of the passage
of the education of Illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical rneas
ures will be put Into operation for the
establishment of schools In both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that of
the government are at work on the
same problem—the establishment of
schools in the heart of tenement die
tricts and rural communities being a
matter of first Importance with all of
them. One of the most significant
movements of the times In thle con
nectlon Is that of the Centenary of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
$3,000,000 among the uneducated
classes In the Southern and Western
States. The church la to raise a fund
of $35,000,000 In &% eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being a
part of the Centenary Celebration of
the denomination. The money Is be
ing raised with a view to putting the
work of the church on a business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the Illiterates here In America to be
among the matters of first Importance
which It should undertake A survey
has been made and the remit of the
campaign will be the apportionment of
$3,000,000 among the various illiterate
population a» follows: Mountain pop
ulation, $750,000; Immigrant, $900,000;
negroes, $000,000; Indians, $150 000:
cotton mill’population. $150,000; Chris
tian literature for all of them, $100,000.
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing Its plans for fur
therlng the work among them, and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to Join hands In their
behalf. It Is more than possible that
the Illiterates of the South are in a
fair way to soon become educated citi
zens of the United States.
METHODIST LEADERS
RETURN FROM FRANCE
Three prominent leaders of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. South,
have Just landed In America, after
spending two months In Europe, where
they went for the purpose of Investi
gating actual conditions and deciding
upon a program for the expenditure of
16,000,000, which sum will be allotted
to European upbuilding by the Cento
nary Commission of the denominate*.
The three returning church lead srs
are Bishop James Atkins, Chairman of
the Centenary Commission; Bishop
Walter l^ambuth, who has been In Eu
rope for nearly a year in the Interest
of his church; and Dr. W W. Pinson,
General Secretary of the Mission
Board.
Dr Pinson and Bishop Atkins re
turned to the headquarters of the de
nomination at Nashville the latter pert
of the week, and Bishop Lambuth went
directly to his home at Oakdale, Cali
fornia.
While the plans for the European
work have not been announced as yot,
the returning members of the commis
sion say that they have napped out a
very satisfactory program and that
five million dollars of the Centenary
fund will be expended In upbuilding
schools and churches in the devastated
'-nds of Belgium, Italy and Franco
