REPORTS MANY CASES
OF RHEUMATISM NOW
Says Dread Disease Had Victims Here
Who can Find Quick Relief
in This.

Thousands of men and women
who have felt the sting and torture
of this dread disease, which is no
respecter of age, persons, sex. color
or rank, be interested to know
that while for many years rheuma-
tism was considered an incurable
disease, now it is one of the easiest
Affections of the human body to
conquer. Medical science has proven
it not distinct disease in itself,
but a symptom caused by inactive
kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid
in the blood and other waste pro-
ducts of the system which should
be filtered and strained out in the
form of urine. The functions of
the kidneys is to sift these poi
sons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure The kid
neys, however, are of sponge-like
substance, the holes or pores of
which will sometimes, either from
overwork, cold or exposure become
clogged and inactive, and failing
in their function of eliminating
these poisons from the blood, they
remain in the veins, decompose
and settling about the joints and
muscles, cause the untold suffering
and pain of rheumatism and back
ache, often producing complica-
tons of bladder and urinary dis.
easse, weakness, etc.
The following simple prescrip-
ton is said to. relieve the worst
cases of. rheumatism because of it's
direct action upon the blood and
kidneys, relieving, too, the most
severe forms of urinary and bladd-
er troubles: Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon,. one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each each meal and again at bed
time. The ingredients can be had
from any good prescription phar-
macy, aud are absolutely harmless
and safe to use at any time.

SUBSCRlPTiON..-S5.O 90 PER ANNUM
SCHMARL MIGHT "HARMONlZE" MATTERS

The rank and file of the republi-
can party in this state are beginning
to speculate as to just what brand of
harmony the various avowed can
didates for the gubernatiorial NOM
ination are DESTROYS of obtaining.
Attorney General Young accom-.
panied his recent announcement
with plea for harmony" and it
was no sooner made public than
there were rumors of heated inter-
views wherein the attorney general
was called traitor" for having
come out with an announcement
without having consulted Dunn,
Jacobson, ct al. And there have
followed rumors that a half dozen or
more prominent republicans will be
out with announcements, a little
later-all for harmony"
While these gentlemen are search
ing for harmony, they might do
worse than select the Honorble
Julius A. Schmahl, the present Sec
rotary of state, as their standard
bearer. Schmahl wears no mans
collar, and he is 'scrapper"-
every inch of him. He could put up
red-hot fight for Harmony" or
rough house-and in either case, we
will bet dollars to douhgnuts that
the sturdy little Teuton from Red
wood county would come out on top
of the heap.
Schmahl, as harmony" candi-
date, would fill the bill.

A Cana In Hefopsa

eff you want to keep off holdup
men," said All old detective to the OBJ
server, carry cane. A holdup man
is more afraid of a cane than he is Of
a revolver. He's deathly afraid that
the man carrying it will jab it in his
face or eyes OF get the end Of it in his
mouth. On this account they're just
as much afraid Of small light stick
as they are of heavy one. There are
so many different ways Of using a
cane that man doesn't know just
which way to guard against it. And
any man can use it. Nine men out Of
ten who carry revolvers couldn't hit
the side of a barn with them, and the
'holdups' know it, but it doesn't take
any skill or practice to learn to slam
bang away with a walking stick."-

FEED FOR SEASON

The experience of the past season
should teach every feeder of farm
animals to provide abundant feed. The
high prices that have had to be paid
for feed during the past fall and win
ter have been the underlying cause
that has resulted in the pushing into
the market Of SO many half-fnished
animals of all kinds, to the utter de.
moralization of prices. We have had
the spectacle of meat animals selling
low at the same time that feed was
selling high. Had the farmers been
provided with an abundance of feed
we would not have seen the rush to
market, as the meat animals would
have been fed till such time as they
could be disposed of. In the provid-
ing of an abundance of feed nothing
will be found to be more serviceable
than the silo, for all kinds OF ami
mails will eat silage with relish and
thrive on It. One of the first things
to be done this spring should be the
setting aside of a large area Of land
for the growing of forage crops and
even Of root crops, to increase the
surplus Of feed.
