SAVE THIS ANYWAY.
Put It In Some Safe Place. for 1t May
Come In Handy Some Day.

Here is simple homemade mix
ture as given by an eminent author
ity on kidney diseases, who makes
the statement in a New York daily
newspaper that 1t will relieve almost
any case of kidney trouble IL taken
before the stage of Rrights disease.
He states that such symptoms as
lame back. pain In the side, frequent
desire to urinate, especially at night;
painful and discolored urination, are
readily overcome. Here is the recipe;
try It.:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce, Compound Syrup sorsaparlIla
three ounces. Take q teaspoonful
after each meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist here in
town is authority that these ingredi-
ents are all harmless and easily mix
ed at home by shaking we'll In a bot
tie. This mixture has peculiar
healing and soothing effect upon the
entire kidney and urinary structure,
and often overcomes the worst forms
of Rheumatism in just little while.
This mixture is said to remove all
blooo disorders, and cure the rheu-
matism by forcing the kidneys to- fl
ter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, decom-
posed waste matter, which cause
these Affections. Try 1t II you aren't

Old Medicines Unsafe.
New York Times.)

Some medicines never lose their
healing power, while others not only
fail to produce the desired effect, but
become positively harmful after
standing few months. The length
of time a medicine retains it's eff
cheney depends upon the ingredients.
Some combinations of drugs keep on
good terms with each other indefi-
Eitely, while others get into a row
after being mixed together for a
while, and the man who swallows a
dose Of the stuff is apt to feel a good
deal worse than before he took it,
AS a rule medicines that are quite
sweet keep their curative virtues
longer than those that are acid or
bitter. Most any medicine can b."
taken in safety six months after
compOunding, and many will be all
right six years hence. Those that
are not good generally take on Il
milky appearance; but that
is by no means an infallible test, and
the person who wishes to save his
system uncomfortable complications
would do we'll to let old medicines
strictly alone.

"one of the most remarkable and
horrible accidents on or of record

mill, and the resistance was such
when the skull became wedged be-
tween the lever and frame that the
animal ayas brought to q standstill.
Some one jumped to back the mule
IN order to free the boys head when
the animal took fright and made a
second lunge forward, gripping the
boys head.
"As soon as the lever was pushed
back the boy dropped to the ground
as though dead. He was picked up
and placed on his back by his father
and mother, who had no idea but
what he was dead. Some thoughtful
person began pouring water on his
face and he was soon seen to gasr
for breath. The water was kept up
for & few minutes and his breathing
gradually became normal, and in an
hour or two his face began swelling,

In Memory of Mother.

we nave loSt our precious mother,
She has bid us all adieu;
She has gone to live in heaven,
And her form is lost in view.
Oh, that dear one, how we loved her,
Oh, how hard to give her up!
But an angel came down for her
And removed her from our flock.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart.
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the
words:
I'VE must forever part"
Dearest loved one, we must lay
thee
In the peaceful graves embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
TIL we see thy heavenly face.
Through all pain at times she'd
smile,
smile of heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sun-beams long to linger
Where our Sainted mother sleeps.
Farewell, dear mother, sweet thy
rest,
Weary with years worn with pain,
Farewell till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
'Tis our to miss thee al. our years,
And tender memories Of thee keep;
Thine in the Lord to rest, for so,
He giveth His beloved sleep.
