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 Sar-
SAP arilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can
be obtained from our home drug
gists, and are easily mixed by
shaking them well in bottle.
Relief is generally felt from the
first few doses.
This prescription, states well
known authority in a Cleveland
morning paper, forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poison
Gus waste matter and uric acid,
which causes Rheumatism.
AS Rheume tism is not only the
most painful and torturous 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 a person who
would take this prescription regu-
larly, dose or two daily, or even
few times week, would never
have serious Kidney or Urinary
disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve 1T.
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce, in
deed, and when you need it, you
want it badly. Our druggists here
say they will either supply these
ingredients or make the mixture
ready TO take II any Of our readers
50 prefer.

Painful Accident.

Leyert Sain, IS, an employee of
the rug factory, was very painful
ly hurt Saturday morning.
While trying to drive a screw
under a piece of machinery, the
screw driver being about on a
level with his face, slipped from
the head of the screw and pene-
trated his eye. He was taken to
the hospital at Columbus at once
and by last reports, he will not
lose the sight of the eye.
The editor of this paper can
appreciate the seriousness of the
accident to the young man, by
having experienced exactly the
same trick last week. We were
trying to drive screw in the
under side of shelf about level
with the face, and the driver
slipped and crashed into our cheek
below the eye, making an ugly
wound. We are indeed thankful
that the place of con tact was
cheek bone instead of eye-ball.

Dealing In Federal Patron
age.

The news comes from Washing.
ton that President Roosevelt
angrily represents the charge that
he is using the power of federal
patronage to perpetuate, through
the heir apparent, his hold upon
the presidential office. The people
have become accustomed to these
spectacular displays of the royal
temper and no longer take to the
woods. Vulgar dis Chalmers of the
you-are-a-liar variety no longer
answer the purpose; most people
are "from Missouri" these days
and need to be shown. Right
here in Ohio a score or more
of appointments are notoriously
known to have been made for no
other purpose than to win support
to Taft. The postoflice appoint
ment at Wapakoneta is most
striking example or the fragrant
abuse of the appointing power.
The present postmaster, W. c..
Davis, was appointed for third
term several months ago as re-
ward and recognition of meritor-
ious service. At the time Moser
had the Endorsement of the sena-
tors and the Republican COM
mittees. 1t is needless to aGd
that he was also an active sup
porter of the senators, Less than
one month ago he was won oyer to
the Taft cause, and the price of
desertion, the Wapakoneta post
office, was paid by President
Roosevelt. The Moser appoint
ment was one Of the four rejected
by the senate on the ground that
the appointments were the result
of political bargains. No charges
had been made against Postmaster
Davis and if he was worthy seven
months ago and Moser was not,
the people would like to see the
evidence which caused this sudden
change of the imperial mind. The
former ciyal service commissioner,
now president, owes the people an
explanation; anger does not fill
the bill.

WARREN G.. HARDING, accredited

laconic way of putting it. But

Democracy can read with pleasure
that editorial of individual sur
render. He says: 1.-The time

triumphant in public estimate.
This year it has been the Taft
Roosevelt allies against him."
Then he lets fly; "We have
thought his craftsmanship of the
lofty kind, and that the trend of
events would prove him to be
right. We have deplored the
populistic drift of things, and we
still believe the Republican party
must get back to Mckinley policies
and old-tim RepublicanIsm to
dominate American politics.
What joy in Taft's camp over
such a recruit Populistic it is
then, the great Taft-Roosevelt re-
lation of testator and heir His
act is simply the bowing to the
cohorts of the postmaster and
patronage mongers, and not the
ratification of Taft cause.

bread that it may not fall on the
buttered side.

ing in police court this morning.
The usual Sunday afternoon
crowd in High street was appreci
ably lessened by the inclement
weather but this did not deter
many who gathered about the
doors of the little theater in ex-
pection of performance. 1t is
thought that this violation of the
orders was deliberately
planned in order to make a test
case to determine the right of the
mayor to close the moving picture
shows. The case undoubtedly will
be carried to the higher courts.
This the only instance of viola
ting the Sunday closing law, and
incidentally, was the only arrest
made during the day. Robert
Young, owner of the Princess, was
not around at any time yesterday,
but he is thought to have acquisc-

COLUMBUS-This city is
experiencing one of the worst
epidemics of the grip and pneu-

physicians place the number of
people suffering from these two
diseases at from 1000 to 5000, and
scarcely is there doctor in the
city who has not scores of these
patients.
During the past few weeks the
ravages of these two maladies
have over half of all the deaths in
the city. A short time since the
Columbus Academy of Medicine
discussed the system of diagnosis
fer patients suffering from the
firstnamed disease and at the time
it was stated that the symptoms
shown by patient su ffering from
such an attack are so numerous
as to make the diagnosis almost
impracticable.
1t was further stated that the
grip quite often leads to the
dreadful pneumonia, and this has
been Shown to be the case in the
past few weeks. The report of
the city board of health, recently
issued, shows that more than half
the deaths in the city for the past
fortnight or more were due to
these two causes.
