Shrubby ciuquefoil. locally known as
hardhack. Goshen weed, prairie weed,
Hawley weed. etc, is troublesome

From the middle of July to the first OF
September is probably the best time
for moving it, as is the case with
most shrub5y growths. The plants
NAV be cut off with Il grub hoe just
beneath the surface. thus leaving few

only method for destroying it, fully

Suffering
Will Not Help Your
Disease, but Will
Weaken Your
Nerves.

Folks who think it is better to bear
pain than soothe it-are wrong.
Old fashioned doctors used to say it
was better, because they had nothing
with which to ease pain but dangerous,
heart paralyzing drugs.
But now, that safe remedy has
been found, DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills,
1t is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be
gained but weakened nerves.
A safe rule to remember is: When
in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
This will soothe your quivering nerves.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain
by restoring the natural secretions, in
which they differ from opium and sim
liar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain
by checking the action of the glands.
They are sure and harmless, and are

Polly quite enjoyed this little adven-

and 4 tendency for adventures. She
cllatted freely with her new acuuaint-
ance. She was almost sorry when they
overlook and boarded the sidetracked
train, receiving apologies from the
brakeman and grinS from the passen-
gers. Polly and John Winters contin-
ued their chatter until they approached
Hillman. Then she said abruptly:
