(Special to The Gazette,)

(SpeClal TO me GaZette.)
HELENA, Dec. PA brush fire
about three miles north of this city
today alarmed many people. The fire
threatened a number of the fine ranch
homes in the vicinity and a large force
of volunteers went out to fight the
flames.
After several hours of hard work, in
the face of a terrible wind, the fire
was finally gotten under control.
There has, been no rain in several
weeks and everything between the
city and the fire was as dry as finder
and the strong south wind caused an
xiety among the property holders in.
the northern part of the city, until 1t
was checked. No damage was done
except to fences, and the loss will be
small.

Tells How to Prepare a Simple Mix
ture to Overcome Disease.
To relieve the worst forms of rheu-
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them we'll
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid, which
causes rheumatism.
AS rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, hut dan
gerou It's etflioihs, mppeeilscdreaoinnn
gerous 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.
It is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, a dose
OF two daily, or wen a few times a
week, would never have serious kid
ney or urinary disorders or rheuma-
tisnf. 4
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly.
