VALUABLE REMEDY
SIMPLE HOME MADE REMEDY
Valuable Prescription and How to Prepare
IL If You Have Kidney Bladder
Troubles or Rheumatism.

1t requires little of your time, for it
cannot be bought already prepared.
This simple home remedy is now being
made known in all the larger cities
through the newspapers. 1t is to cure
the many cases of rheumatism, kidney
and bladder troubles, which are making
so many cripples, invalids and weak
lings of our brightest and strongest peo-
pie. The prescription is as follows;
FLUID Extract iva Ursi, / o.. Syrup
Sarsaparilla, l OF : Barmo Compound,
o.; Syrup Prickley Ash Bark, OF
Mix together and take one teaspoonful
after each meal and at bed time. Be-
cause of its action on the eliminative
tissues OF the kidneys, it compels those
most vital organs to filter the waste i'm
purities, which are the cause of rheuma-
tism, from the blood and system. 1t
cleanses the kidneys, cures backache,
bladder weakness and frequent and dis
colored urine. 1t acts as a powerful
stimulant and tonic to the kidney and
bladder structure, puts new life and
vigor into the entire tract he ingre-
dients are all simple vegetable extracts
known to all, making it safe and reIa-
BILE remedy to take. We advise all who
have any trouble with their kidneys OF
bladder or have rheumatism to try this
prescription, as it is claimed to be OF
exceptional value, and especially is il
valuable in elderly people. Cut this out
and take it to your druggist. He will
put it up for you.

CHANGES IN MAILING CARDS
DEPARTMENT ISSUES ORDER
TO POSTMASTERS OF
THE COUNTRY.

Instructions from the postofiice at
Washington change the use of the pres
ent private mailing card in this country
al Ter March /, 1907.
The change will make it possible for a
person to write on both sides of the
card, reserving only the left hand half
of the front side for the address in place
Of the whole front side as is required
now. This change was brought about
at the Universal Postal convention which
was held recently at Rome, Italy, and
at which all the countries 10 the postal
union were represented.
In many foreign countries this change
has already been put into effect and
such post cards are being received in
this country and are now delivered with
ont extra charge.
The arrival of the cards, written on
both sides, have caused much wonder
and people cannot understand why they
cannot use both sides of the cards in
this country. Uncle Sans service is
just as any other and after March, both
sides of private mailing cards may be
used. This change is brought about be-
cause one side of the foreign mailing
card is taken up with pictures and there
is little room left for writing purposes
