A HARD STRUGGLE.

When you have a bad back, a back
that's lame, weak or aching it's hard
struggle sometimes to find relief and
cure, but it's harder struggle when
the dangers beset you of urinary dis
orders, too frequent urination, reten-
ton of the urine with all the subse-
quent pains, annoyances and suffering.
There are many medicines that relieve
these conditions, but you want rem
edy-a cure. Read this statement; it
tells of cure that lasted.

dence ROC South Walnut ST., Urbana,

relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed

narrowing on Wet Ground.

Ground should not be narrowed
when it is too wet. Only the skilful
farmer can tell when it is too wet.
One farmer follows the practice of
taking a handful of soil and work
ing it into a ball. If the ball holds
together he considers the soil too wet
to be worked The narrowing should
be done. when there is sufficient mois-
ture in it to keep it from being very
hard on the surface, but should also
be dry enough so that when narrowed
the particles of soil will fall away
from each other. The time during
which ground is just right for har-
rowing is of short duration. This is
especially true Of clayey land. On
sandy soil there is little trouble in
narrowing at any time, especially il
the soil be very sandy-Farmers' Re-

Quick-Witted Pastor.

In Germany, recently, a country
preacher was preaching sermon.
when suddenly he lost the thread of
his discourse and, do what he would,
he could not find it again.
The congregation was greatly en-
barrassed and was wondering what
the matter was when he startled it by
eXclaiming suddenly:
Pardon me, my brethren, for paus-
ing in my sermon, but it seems to me
that / smell fire somewhere-and
it might be as well to see that it has not
broken out in the church or in any
of the nearby houses"
Before the words were all uttered
the congregation was pouring out of
the church, each family being anxious
to make sure that its home was not on
fire. 1t need hardly be said that the
fire existed only in the pastors imagi-
,ion.-Stray Stories.
