RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOME MADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug.
sist in Your Town and Shake
Them in Bottle to
Mix This.

A well.known authority on Rheu-
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce; compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost. and, be
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said TO over
come almost any case of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin.
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief, few really give perma
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

STANDARD OIL
SAYS POLITICS

tics and Socialism

NEW YORK, Aug. 21,--The STAN
dard Oil company yesterday issued
pamphlet to their employees and stock
holders relative to the fine Of $29,240,-
900 imposed on the Indiana company.
An interesting feature is the COM
pany's declaration of absolute inno-
cence of wrongdoing as a basis for
any of the prosecution lately instituted
against it and particularly so in the
Chicago and Alton case. If the judg-
ment of the court is allowed to stand
the company says it would be COM
PEELED to pay so times the value of
every carload of oil carried over the
Alton road during two years. The
pamphlet says:
THE trial Judge refused to allow the
proof that the 6-cent rate was a legal
rate, and he insisted that 18 cents was
the only legal rate for oil, but nobody
1t was thrown in and did not apply to
oil.
"To the higher courts we must look
for calm Judgment which will rescue
the rights of citizens from the field OF
public and official slander and from
the realm of vindictive politics.
$50 persistent and adroit has been

ering Authority of the federal adminis--

pany that it has been difficult to get a
fair hearing before the public or a

isure from above.

Iducting a business of great moment

pie in absolute obed ence to the sound

IMPROVEMENTS
Controller MSkerSOn Pre-
pairing a Statement to
Enlighten Voters

The matter of the city bond election
to be held on September 21, at which
time the voting of $4,000 bonds for
the city water department will be be-
fore the citizens, is now Icing general
ly discussed in business circles and
with short time a statement will
be issued by City Controller Nsckerson
in which a detailed statement of the
| uses to which the money is to be put
will be made.
AT the pes:nn': is of the agitation for
for improvements to the water system
more than a year ago it was decided
that the purchase of the pump would
satisfy the demands of the department
at that me and the cost of this i'm
provement would involve an expendi-
ture of $4,000. A careful survey of the
pump house convinced the water COM
mittee that the two pumps could not
further expenditure for the construc-
ton of a pump house became neces-
sary.
About this time the demands of ad-
ditions where the water service has
not been extended were made to the
city council and it was decided that
considerable sum must be expended for
the be- eterment of the system by the
extens on of the water mains.
The laying of the larger mains in
the business part Of the city has been
agitated since the movement to pave
the business streets and taxpayers gen
rally urge that this Improvement be
made both to furnish a better fire pro-
lection and to eliminate the necessity
of tearing up the streets after the
pavement isf1aid.%
The larger item of the expense in the
proposed improvement will be incurred
by the laying of the larger mains in
the business section, but with the lay
ing oe these large supply pipes the
ones now in use in this district will
be rem aved to the outer stricts. The
aggregate expense Of the proposed i'm
provements has swelled the fund from
the first estimate of $4,000 to $4,000
and It IS the detailed estimate OF this
expense that will be covered by the
statement soon to be made by'1Con-
troller Nickerson.
