'" 30 LDI E R, CO M E BACK CLEAN.
This is the song; for the soldier
To'shufas he. rides from home
To the fields afar where the battles
: :are--Or
.'oyer the ocean's foam,
"Whatever the dangers waiting
In .the lands I have not seen,
If I do not fall if I come back ijill,
Then I will come back clean.
y: 1 may lie in the mud of the
.trenches, .
I may reek with blood and mire,
But I'will control, by the God of my
rv- soul, -'' ;
The"'might of my man's desire.
Is win fight my foe in the. open,
' But - my- sword shall be sharp and
;'. ' ' keen, -
For the foe within who would lure
me to sin,
And I will. come back clean.
"I may not leave v f or my children
Brave medals that I have worn,
5 But the blood of my veins shall leave
f - " no stains ' :
,! On bride or on babes unborn.
And the, scars that my body may carry
; Shall not be from deeds obscene,
Tor nfy . will shall say to the beast
y '.- obey! ' - -
And I will come back clean.
"Oh, ; not on the fields of slaughter
And not-in the prison cell,
Or in. hunger and cold is the story
7. told
By war of its darkest hell, .
But the eld, oM sin of the senses,
Can tell what that word may mean
To the soldiers' wives and to innocent
v lives.
And I will come back clean."

Killed by Poisons
All scientists agree that poisonous
S redacts- in the blood are eliminated by
le kidneys and liver. The kidneys act
as a kind of filter for these products.
When the kidneys are changed or de-
Senerated, by disease or old age, then
lese poisons, are retained in the body.
If we wish to prevent old V age coming
on too soon, or if we want to increase
our chances for a long life, Dr. Pierce of
the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals to flush the kidneys.
Then procure at your nearest drug store
Anuric. , This Anuric drives the uric acid
out. Scientific men have learned that in
gout, also rheumatism, poisonous uric
acid crystals are deposited in or about
the joints, in the muscles where in
flammation is set up.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege
tables, with only little meat once a day, is
the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times a day for
a month. An-u-ric is many times more
potent than lithia and dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.
Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce, if you wish
to obtain a trial package of Anuric.
CxjrTOJT, Tsjrcr. I wish to say that
I suffered from backache and kldnoy
trouble for some time. I could hardly
do any kind of work. I heard of Dr.
Piercers Anuric Tablets so I tried them,
and thby cured my backache I hope
people who are troubled with backache
wiir give Dr. Pierce's Anaric Tablets a
good trial. They do all that is required
of them they will not fail to benefit."
