PRINCE HENRY
LEAVES COUNTRY
of the Queen Goes to
>- v Switzerland to Climb
Mountains
(Correspondence Associated Press.)
The Hague. Netherlands, July 28.
For the first time since the outbreak of
the war, Prince Henry of the Nether
lands, the consort of the Queen, has
left Dutch soil. Accompanied by two
members of the Dutch nobility, he has
gone to Switzerland, where he will dur
ing the next six months Indulge In
mountain climbing. It was particu
larly stated that he would not leave
the train in passing through Germany.
The fact that the Prince, or. as he
was known before his marriage, the
Duke of Mecklenburg, Is a German by
birth, and that his sympathies natural
ly lie with Germany, lea to his move
ments being followed with more than
ordinary attention in the opening
stages of the war, when some curious
stories went the round on the sub
ject. But Prince Henry has nothing
whatever to do with Holland's policy
or administration, and most of his pub
lic appearances in the past two years
of war have been In various activities
connected with the Red Cross organi
zation here, of which he Is president
and in which he takes the greatest in
terest. For the rest, he has resided a
good deal at the royaJ country seat of
"Het Loo." where hunting has been
among his occupations. A day or two
ago he was noticed taking a stroll
through the Hague woods accompanied
by one of the little tame deer from
the Royal House in the wood, which
followed him like a dog.
Royal duties make it impossible for
Queen Wilhelmlna to accompany her
consort to Switzerland, and her Ma
jesty *as Just gone with the little
Princess Juliana to stay at Katwyk, a
quiet little seaside place a few miles
north of the Hague.
Austrian Doctor Finds
a Cure For Insomnia
Vienna.—A well-known Austrian phy
sician, Dr. Ebstein, claims the discov
ery of a physical exercise that will
cure insomnia. As explained in the
Physical and Diet Therapeutics Jour
nal, the cure consists of the simple
process of grasping l with both hands
the head board or rail of the bed and
of straining upward until the arm and
shoulder muscles are fatigued.
Sleeplessness in most cases is caused
by irregular blood circulation in the
brain. Dr. Ebstein explains. This
comes to pass because of the slight
differences in altitude between the head
and the heart when one is lying down.
By raising the arms and straining up
ward, the physician claims, the flow
of the blood to the head is increased,
while at the same time a certain de
gree of fatigue aids in getting to sleep.
Co-operative Shops Try
to Reduce Cost of Living
Petrograd.—A society for combatting
the high cost of living has opened a
number of shops for the sale of pro
visions to working population on the
closest possible margin. Eleven of
these shops have already been estab
lished. They are located in the vicin
ity of factories which are working for
the national defense. It is proposed
to open a total of thirty such shops
in the near future. A plan is being

Backache, Rheumatism and Dropsy.
Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
Bre weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufflcicntly, anc*
the poisons are carried to all parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness. Irrita
bility, headaches, chilliness aca rheu
matism. In some people there are Fharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometime*
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
Joints, it ca-.tses lumbago, rheumatism,
gout or sciatica. This Is the time to try
"Anuric."
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
Into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The pool
kidneys get tired and backache begins.
This is a good time to take "Anuric,"
the new discovery of Dr. Pierce for Kid
ney trouble and Backache. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
doaths, and Insurance Company examin
ing doctors always test the water of «a
applicant before a policv will be Issued.
Have you ever set aside a bottle of water
for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi
ment or settling sometimes Indicates kid
ney trouble. Tho true nature and char
acter of diseases, especially those of the
kidneys and urinary organs, can often
be determined by a careful chemical an
alysis and microscopical examination—
this Is done by expert chemists of the
Medical Staff of the Invalids' Hotel. If
you wish to know your condition send a
sample of your water to Doctor Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.. and de
scribe your symptoms. It will be ex
amined without any expense to you, and

Bisurated Magnesia \
For Acid Indigestion j
Thousands of people whose stomachs
troubled them after eating have found
that by tailing a teaspoonful of pure
bisurated magnesia in a half glass of
hot water after meals thev can do away
with pepsin pills and other digestive
aids and can still be able to eat heart
ily of whatever foods they please and
have no stomach trouble afterwards.
Physician* say that hot water forces a
much needed blood supply to the stom
ach while bisurated magnesia is un
doubtedly the best, safest and most
powerful neutralizer of stomach acids
that can be found. A single teaspoonful
will sweeten the food contents of a
sour acid, burning stomach in ten min
utes by the watch and natural diges
tion will follow without pain or uncom
fortable feeling of any kind. Continu
ed use of bisurated magnesia does not
weaken natural digestion and it is
perfectly safe to use at any time. It
can be had at almost anv drug store,
but be sure it Is bisurated magnesia
you are getting. Do not use other
forms of magnesia for this purpose.—

MARBLEHEAD
v /
To come to Marblehead in any way
except by sea is to violate the fine fit
ness fcf things. The picturesque New
England town is a part of the gray
Atlantic, and her men are sailors first
and last. It is true that of late years
a few members of the race of lands,
men have penetrated the sapred pre
cincts, chiefly in the guise of "summer
boarders," but they are regarded with
entirely proper contempt by onyone
who has the past of Marblehead in
mind.
Like Gloucester. Marblehead was one
of the great New England fishing ports,
and the men who worked the "banks"
in little schooners naturally regarded
any other branch of sea-faring as
rather a relaxation, even if it were
privateering or manning a battleship,

both of which things they have on oc
casion done with enthusiasm and suc
cess. In the famous naval battle in
the war of 1812, between the Guerriere
and the Constitution, the American ves
sel carried so many Marblehead men
that the victory was regarded in the
town as a triumph for Marblehead first
and the nation afterwards. As for the
privateers, they gathered in their prizes
by the dozen.
The descendants of these men are
still to be seen on the steep crooked
streets, indistinguishable from lesser
humanity save for a certain Indefin
able suggestion of wide waters in their
level gaze and deliberate gait. The
harbor is still crowded with craft of
all sorts, but many, perhaps most of
them, are pleasure boats, for Marble
head is the great yachting port nowa
days. The visitor has to a certain
extent taken the place of the cod and
the halibut as a source of local reve
nue.
Marblehead is almost obtrusively pic
turesque, and you cannot go many
blocks in any direction on a summer
day without stumbling on some would

be confiscated and the women and un

is believed to be very large.
