Make 1t Yourself.

There is so much Rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice by an eminent
authority, who writes for readers
of large Eastern daily paper. will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half once Fluid Extract Dandelion.
one once Compound Kargon, three
onces of Compound Syrup as Sar-
Isapariila Shake these we'll in a
bottle and take in teaspoonful dos
es after each meal and at bedtime;
also drink plenty Of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims Of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade
mixture, and in most cases a per-
manent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rhematism, but numerous 9TH
er diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys
are not healthy and active, or who
suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to
make up this mixture, as it is GER
tain to do much good, and may save
you from much misery and suffer-
ing after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or
mix the prescription ready to take
if our readers ask them.

ed at the interview Is 4 secret be-
tween the two men. but there is
one guess among the politicians.
The latter take it for granted that
the Presidency was discussed.
Apparently Mr.. Bryan is still
seeking to court Mr. Hearsts favor.
Except when news obligation re-
quires it the Hearst papers take
no notice of Mr.. Bryan. and then
only in a brief manner. This, of
course, distresses Mr.. Bryan.
Thames C.Allen, of Lincoln, Nebr.,
is the Secretary of the Democratic
State Committee, and the brother
in-law of Mr.. Bryan. Replying
to question as to whether Mr..
Bryan is a candidate, he is quoted
as saying Certainly he is. Mr..
Bryan has not made much of a Sc
cret of his intentions along that
line. So am not divulging one
in making that statement. 2
Asked if Hearst would be in the
running, brother-in-law Allen re-
piled: 'Hearst9 Why, Hearst will
get in the Endorsement of the In
dependence League for President
and will use this as means of try
ing to force his nomination by the
Democrats. 1t is my confident be-
lief that Mr.. Hearst is systemati-
cally making the race, else why
would he have organized the In
dependence League9 But Hearst
will fail to get the Democratic in
dorsement or nomination; of that
there can be no doubt. He has
done nothing recently to endear
himself to the Democrats OF this
country and certainly nothing that
would tend to place the Democrats
under any other obligation to
him."
While Mr.. Allen was saying this
in Lincoln Mr.. Bryan was in con-
ference with Mr.. Hearst in the lat
ter's house in New York. There
is really no news in Mr.. Aliens
statement that Mr. Bryan is can
didate, but his calling on Mr..
Hearst is significant. He is evil
