The Remedy Used By Mr.. s~chroeppei n
By Captain Baifour In Great Demand In
Vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter Of 1923 Mr.. S~chrooppei
was confined to his bed by o severe at.
tack OF rheumatism. His doctor 3 treat.
ment proved unsuccessful, but no subse.
quently regained his health by meant
which he describes with great enthu.
siasm.
"After five o. six weeks Of helpless.
ness and PAIN" said he, "during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, I felt rs bad as ever. Just then
my mother. q woman eighty years Of
age, paid me a visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they wouii
help me. At her solicitation I gave up
tho doctors treatment aud took tho pills
In its place."
"And were you cured as the result Of
taking her advice?"
Eyes, quickly and thoroughly. Be.
fore the second box was finished I felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks I was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. I con.
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that I felt that every YES.
tige Of the disease had been eradicated.
"Are there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been tho
slightest return Of tho old trouble. For
this happy result I and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams' Pink Pills"
Within the bounds OF China township,
st. Clair county, Mich. there il 10 bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
6%chroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One Of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing Of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schrocppel'sc case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack Of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from tho painful ailment."
1t il little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in tho COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Gap
tain Balfour are so we'll and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and arc equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica aud partial paralysis.

NEW HAY A MOSQUITO CURE
Novel Method to Rid House of Pests
Told OF by q Texas
Man.

A gentleman living in the city, who
occasionally goes into the country for
a day or two, came back from recent
trip with brand new mosquito rem

can talk about your screens on the els
terms and buy the best bars for your
bed. but am here to tell you that
there Is nothing like new mown hair
TO keep the little pests from you.
have Just been up in the country,
where the mosquitoes are as thick as
fieas on a common cur, and after vain
ly trying to sleep in the house, l got
up and went out onto pile OF new
hay and slept soundly the rest OF the
night. l was in the open without any
bar or covering. and not one mosquito
came near me.
How do l account for that? Well.
1T first did not know just the rea-
Con. but after trying the experiment
several times l came to the conclusion
that the mosquitoes do not like the
smell OF new mown hay, or any hay.
for that matter No, / would not adj
wise the citizens O. Galveston to buy
q bale OF hay apiece and spread 1t out
on their bedroom floors for place to
sleep, but If any of them have occasion
to go into the country and are driven
out of the house by the pests, let them
make their bed in the hay and I'll
guarantee that they will get refresh

WHY SHOE GETS UNITED.
Women's Footwear Is Laced Higher
Than Mems Thus Making
Strain Heavier.

"Why is 1t that a lady's shoe be-
comes united so much more frequently
and apparently easier than man's?"
asked the shoe salesman. We'll, l
don't suppose / would be in any bet
ter position to answer question than
anyone else had it not been for the
fact that few days ago couple Of
ladies, customers Of my place, were
discussing that very point. and their
deductions appear to solve the riddle
perfectly" relates the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
ut is not that a woman's shoe laces
will not tie in as firm a knot as any
others; the reason for the frequent
annoyances to which women are sub
3scted is apart from that. In the case
of high shoes the trouble is altogether
in their height. The shoe laces farther
up the leg than mans, usually fits
more snugly and therefore encounters
. greater strain on the knot when q
woman II walking. The result is that
1t becomes loosened within q very
short time. whereas q man may walk
all dag without the laces Of his shoe
becoming united. Where low shoes are
worn, the skirts Tapping around the
ankle do the work of loosening the
knot"

COMBAT WITH HUGE EAGLE
4 Hunter and His Dog Were Severely
Beaten by the Enor-
nous Bird.

In the pine woods on the Jersey
coast nan was hunting, and by the
afternoon was pretty well tagged out.
He lay down under tree for a doze
and fell into deep sleep. He was
awakened by Q fierce commotion, in
which canine bowls were uppermost.
As he jumped up he. beheld his dog
In combat with an immense bald eagle.
1t was soon evident that the dog was
no match for the bird, and the hunter
was afraid to use his gun for fear Of
anjuring the dog. So he picked up q
stick and sailed In. The eagle imme-
diately attacked him and beat and tore
him 80 numerically that he fell to the
ground. Then the dog rushed to the
defense Of his master and kept 1t up
until he was knocked out again. The
man then arose and reached for his
gun but before he could get 1t the eagle
dattened him out with its wing and
then few away. The man and the dog
went home feeling rather happy that
they were not hurt worse, but rather
erestfallen at the same time.
