Says Homemade Treatment
Cures Rheumatism.
Shake Them Well in the Bot
tie and Take After
Meals.

When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scrant ton pa. Times
that he had found a new way tic
treat that dread American disease,
Rheumatism, with just common,
everyday drugs found in any drug
store, the physicians were slow in
deed to attach much Importance to
his claims. This was only few
months ago. Tokay nearly every
newspaper in the country, even the
metropolitan dailies, is announcing
it and the splendid results achieved.
1t is so simple that any one can pre-
pare 1t at home at small cost, it is
made up as follows: Get from any
good prescription pharmacy Fluid
Extract Dandelion. one half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaprilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. These
are all simple ingredients, making
an absolutely harmless home remedy
at little cost.
Rheumatism as every one knows,
is symptom of deranged kidneys.
1t is a condition produced by the
failure of the kidneys to properly
filter or strain from the blood the
uric acid and other matter which, if
not eradicated, either in the urine
or through the skin peres, remains
in the blood. decolnposes and forms
about the joints and muscles, caus
ing the untold suffering and deform-
ity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be
splendid bealing, cleansing and in
MIGRATING tonic to the kidneys, and
gives almost immediate relief in all
forms Of bladder and urinary troub-
les and backache. He also warns
people in leading New York paper
against the discriminate use of
many patent medi cines.

Scar, ROebuCk 4 Co. Indicted.

Sears, Roebuck & Go. of Chicago,
were indicted in Des Moiaes, la. !,
November 10Th charged with using
the mails to defr aud. The indict-
ment is on three counts. 1t is al
legged that the CONF any misrepre-
sented articles in it's catalogue: sent
| through the mails. The first count
charges that on June 18th. 1907, the
pany devised scheme to obtain
money by false pretenses from Dr..
c. f. Spring, of Des Moines, by sell
ing him white lead that Sears-ROe-
buck claim 10 have made. The in
dictment alleges it was made by
others. A second count is on d ring
bought by r. Ell. Miles, and the
third count is the sending OF anoth-
er ring, alleged to have been mlsre-
presen ted, through the mails.
The foregoing news has been sent
far and wide by the Associated Press
and is certain to be read throughout
the world by people who have been
sending their money to this and
other mail-order concerns.
But according to rumors that will
not down the indictments of above
mentioned are among the least of the
troubles of Sears, ROebuck & Co..
1t is asserted sales haye fallen off to
an alarming extent and it is strong
ly limited that unless some way is
found quickly to bolster up the bust
ness the creditors of the company
may take the ma tier into court.
It has been evident for long time
that things were not gong smooth
ly, as the preferred stock of the COM
pany has declined in price steadily.
Less than two years ago the capital
stock was increased and the public
given chance to get IL on the
ground floor. For some time the
demand was quite active and the
preferred sold at about par: but it
has been going from bad to worse
during the past few months, and
more recently the stock has been as
dull as 68.
Various conditions have caused the
apparent undoing of this great con-
Germ. but no other agency has been
as continually active and congressiye
in the work as the National Anti
Retail Mail Order League.
Farmers and residents OF small
towns who bought the stock and
have lost money thereby have learned
their lesson, but for the benefit OF
those who have not felt the sting Of
the mail order hook, it is we'll that
country newspapers should continue
to publish all the information obtain
able which will help to enlighten
them.
There was never a better time
than right now to preach and prac-
tice the doctrine of spending money
at home. But the story will bear
repeating and should be told and re-
told so every one may have an OPP
portunity of hearing and learning
Mixed Stocks.

Curved SpokeS.

There is no doubt that an iron wheel
with curved spokes is much more at
tractive to the eye than the ordinary
variety, but it is not on account of it's
appearance that it is constructed in
this manner. Wheels that are cast in
variably contract little in the process
of cooling, and those made with
straight spokes are always liable to
crack. The curved variety, by allow
ing certain give and take in the
