GONE TO BOULDER

A number of the Glcnwood high
school students have gone to Boulder,
where today the state high school
track and field meet will be pulled off
and where the young athletes of the
state will be given a chance to show
what they can do in the game.
The following will represent the
Glenwood school and with the list are
the events each will enter.
Coles, 44O yard, $50 yard and mile
runs.
Maupin, $50 yard, mile and discus
Rohr, 220 hurdles, high jump and
discus.
Hubbard, $50 yard, mile, hammer
and running broad jump.
Dickson, 100 yard, 22o yard, 22O
yard hurdles, hammer and shot.
Owing to sickness Rice was unable
to enter the meet, and Robertson decid-
ed that he could not enter, thus our
school will have two of her best men
out of the contest. Robertson should
have no trouble in winning the run
ming broad jump, and when in good
form can get place in the 100 and
800 yard dashes. Rice is long-dis-
tance man and when in good shape will
take first from any of them.
1t is to be hoped that the Glenwooi
bows do their best in the variops
events, and that they will make n
good showing and return home with
several points to their credit.

GLAD IT DID so MUCH GOOD
Druggsts Hear Much Praise for This
Simple Home Made Mixture

SOM remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the country
people coming in of this simple, home
made mixture curing Rheumatism and
Kidn,v trouble Here is the recipe
and directions for taking: Mix by
shal1in- well in Il bottle one half ounce
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce
compound Kargon, three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparila. Take as u
dose one teaspoonful after meals ami
at bedtime.
No change need be made in your us
ual Iiet, but drink plenty of good wa
ter.
This mixture, writes one authority iu
n Leading Philadelphia newspaper, has
peculiar tonic effect upon the kidneys;
cleansing the cloggcd-up pores of the
eliminative tissues, forcing the kidneys
to stft and strain from the blood the
uric acid and other poisonous waste
matter, overcoming rheumatism, Blad'
der and Urinary troubles in a shors
while.
\ New York druggist who has had
hundreds of calls for these ingredients,
since the first announcements in the
newspapers last October, stated that
the people who once try it "swear by
it, - especially those who have Urinary
and Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighborhooa
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home. There
is sid to be no better blood-cleansins
agent or system tonic known, and Ger
tainly none more harmless or simple to
use.

They are said to be equal in beauty
