How to Prepare Simple Mixture to
Overcome Disease.

To relieve the worst forms Of
Rheumatism, take teaspoonful
Of the following mixture after each
meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can
be obtained from our home drug
gists, and are very easily mixed by
shaking them in a bottle. Relief
is generally from the first few
doses.

known authority in Cleveland

up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poison
GUS waste matter and URIC acid,
which causes Rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the
most painful andtorturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly
valued by many sufferers here at
home, who should at once prepare
the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who
would take this prescription regu-

FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL

Secretary Cortelyou has made the
important announcement that as a
measure of affording relief to the
financial situation the treasury would
issue s5o,ooO,OOo of Panama bonds and
$10G,000,000 certificates of indebted
ness, or so much thereof as may be
necessary. The certificates will run
for one issue and will bear per cent
interest. Secretary Cortelyou says
that the Panama bonds will afford
substantial relief, as the law provides
that they may be used as a basis for
additional national bank circulation.
He also states that the proceeds from
the sale Of certificates can be made
directly available at points where the
need is most urgent and especially
for the movement Of crops.

came into sight the car rang With
cheers. in which Sugden's voice was
by no means the least vociferous.
1t was pleasant to meet the reception
committee with their pompous formal
ity of welcoming speeches, which were
followed by the more genuine hand
clasps. 1t was still more pleasant to
make his way up the street and get
welcome on every hand. but through
it all Sugden was conscious Of one lack
the absence of one person who alone
could make old home week success
to him. For the first time he realized
that the week meant to him Elizabeth
Grantley, and it was to see her that he
had come.
AS he crossed the foaming little riv
er that cut the town in two he remem-
bered the last time that he stood on
the span. He and Elizabeth had lean
ed against the rail. watching the swirl
ing waters in the uncertain moonlight.
while gently she had put from her the
hopes that had risen in her breast and
had sent him on his way unfettered by
matrimonial promises. IF you really
want me you will come back for me
without promise" she had whisper

but the girl had steadfastly held to her
point. She would not marry him-she
would not even consider an engage
ment. If he was to fight his way In
the world he must be left free.
He had failed then to perceive her
point of view. He had wanted her to
marry him and 60 with him in search
of career. When she had refused he
had flung himself away. and he had
| not written Now he knew that she
had been right. and he longed to tell
her so. "There was bureau of infor-
nation through which visitors might
locate their old friends. but the sweet
faced girl in charge of the registry
list shook her head regretfully. We
tried to locate the Grantleys to reach
them with an announcement" she ex-
planned. ''but they appear to have drop

Zone of the agents in a Midland re-
vision court objected to person whose

and gave corroborative evidence as to
the decease Of the man in question.

Billy Sugden read the pamphlet
through from cover to cover, from the
first glaring line, ''Old Home Week.
to the imprint of the "Blairsville Mer-
curry Job Print" on the last page of the
cover Somehow the little booklet
seemed to have almost the value of a
message from home. He could even
tell which part Of the text Carr. the
editor of the Mercury. had written and
which portions were the product of the
Rev. John Dudley. the Presbyterian
minister. who has literary aspirations.
One paragraph in particular appeal

homecomers bring with them the first
fruits of their prosperity and their tai
ent"s
Whoever had sent him the pamphlet
had underscored this paragraph, and
Sugden felt With q glow of pride that
his new found fame had reached even
to the old home. 1t was only in the
last few months that he had gained
the position as an illustrator for which.
he had fought. and fame was still very
sweet to him. He could see visions Of

horses were the property OF vari-

on Black mesa and Green mount

if they reach their goal 1t is prob
