unquestioned integrity, and conversant
with the facts, which indicates that that

is member OF the Grand Jury that in

anxious to see justice done, but it is wise,
he says, not to talk too much in that

relationships that might suffer-
This grand juror says that the men

nearly every resident of the Lookout dis

hastily, that the men who composed it.
nearly all of them young men reside in
Lookout and in the immediate vicinity,
and that that community has set Itself
solidly to thwart all efforts to ferret out
the guilty men and to retard any prose-

justice.

Get Rid
of the
rheumatism

Don't continue to suffer with rheu-
matism when you can get cured by taxi
ing Halpruner's Wonderful Medicine.
We know this same thing has been
said about medicines that could not
cure rheumatism, but it can be truth
fully said of Halpruner's, because it is
made of the right ingredients to seek
the seat of the rheumatic trouble and
remove the cause.
Halpruner's Wonderful Medicine can
be taken internally and applied exter-
nally-taken internally to remove the
cause and applied externally to remove
the pain. Dr. Halpruner's office con-
tains testimonials from hundreds Of
people who have been cured of rheu-
matism. If you doubt what we say we
will be pleased to send the names Of
people with whom you can communi-
cate. Halpruner's is wonderful medi-
cine, because it has performed wonder
full cures, and medicine that can re-
move pain and rid the system of rheu-
natism is we'll named a wonderful
medicine.
No one but a rheumatic sufferer
knows the tortures and misery of this
disease. DR.. Halpruner suffered with
it for years, and that is how he hap
pened to discover cure. and Hal
pruner's Wonderful Medicine is posi-
tive cure.

how 10 KEEP BEAUTY.
In order to preserve this beauty of
youth, TO retain the charm of sweetness
and freshness which belongs to maiden
hood, the prerequisite is to understand
that the chief foe of woman's beauty is
w3manly ill-health. Young women are
often very careless of themselves. The
temptation Of the dance, or of the sleigh
ride Oveuules their prudence, and the
result is suppression and perhaps irregu-
lsity. This is only the beginning of
worse evils, and yet this alone is suf-
hcient to steal the freshness from the
face. The womanly health should be
protected with the utmost care and the
first symptom of arrangement or disease
should be met by the use of Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
uI will always recommend DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Pellets, for

medicines failed" !" writes Mrs. Mary E.
