EASY TO MIX THIS

SIMPLE HOME MADE REMEDY
Hundreds of People in yicin-
a ity Here Will Welcome
This Advice.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
simple prescription, as formulated
by noted authority, who claims that
he has found a positive remedy to
IRE almost any case of backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, in
the following simple prescription, If
taken before The stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, or the mixture
would be put up if asked to do so.
He further stated that while this pre-
scription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections whit splendid results
he could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache,
as it has a peculiar action upon the
kidney structure, cleansing these most
important organs and helping them
to sift and filter from the blood the
foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
of our readers who suffer can make
mistake in giving it trial.

This Gray Old World,

A certain man was once permitted to

Importance Of Good Roads.

The town that has good roads lead.
ing to It is blessed. Surely there is
no more disagreeable thing, nor any
thing more adverse to the business
interests of u place than impossible
boggy roads. There is little excuse
in the well settled community for poor
roads. 1t may in the beginning be
somewhat expensive to put the roads
in order, but in the end 1t will prove
that the saving In wear and tear on
wagons and horses will well repay al
the additional expense. And to the
town good roads are almost vital. Ths
average farmer would rather drive
three or four miles farther to town
over good roads than do his trading
when 1t is necessary to go hub deep In
mud to the nearer place.

Trade is the life OF the agricultural!

trade is Injurious to the community.
