MAKE THE BEST REMEDY RIGHT
AT HOME AT SMALL
COST.
TRY THIS PRESCRIPTION
Makes the Kidneys Act Properly and
! Overcomes rheumatism and Urin-
airy Troubles.

To make up enough of the "Dande-
lion treatment which is claimed to
be relieving nearly every sufferer who
uses it for backache, kidney complaint,
sore, weak bladder and rheumatism; ;
get from any good prescription phar-
macy half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon and three ounces Compound Syrup
OF Sarsparailla. Shake well in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and again at bedtime.
II ose who have tried it claim that
it acts gently but thoroughly on the
Kidneys, relieving backache and blad-
der trouble and urinary difficulties be-
fore you realize it. Many cases Of
rheumatism are known to have been
relieved within a few days, the pain
and swelling diminishing with each
dose.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the eliminative
tissues of the Kidneys so that they can
filter and strain from the blood and
system the poisons, acids and waste
matter, which cause not only Rheuma-
tism, but numerous other diseases.
Every man or woman here who feels
that their kidneys are not healthy and
active, or who suffers from any urin-
airy trouble whatever, should not hest
tate to make up this mixture, as it is
certain tC do much good, and may saw
you from much misery and suffering
after a while.

AID THE ITALIANS

Although the weather is anything
but favorable to such events, the sale
of tickets for the grand benefit con-
cert for the relief of italian sufferers
to be given in the Keylor Grand thea
ire this evening indicates that the
house will be we'll filed, and the pro-
gram which has been completed will

poftunity to listen to numbers by the

which will comprise selections by

instrumental numbers by Edgar S.
Fischer. Harry Davis. and vocal selec-
lions by Guy Allen Turner.
The accompanist will be Mrs. Ed

Mrs. Avery, Chester Winslow and A.

The funds derived from the concert
are to be turned over to the local
committee in charge of donations to
the cause of suffering Italians and it
is thought Walla Wallans will show
liberality in patronizing the event and
thus assisting in swelling the box-re-

With a chinook and a rain, the water
would come off the mountain sides

result. The 10 inches of snow repre-
sent about one inch of water, and
that amount coming off the mountains,
draining through the city by the way
of Mill creek, would take everything
before it.

be asked for. And in Coach Blan-
chard the college has at last found a
man who can instruct his team in
basketball. He knows the game. plays
it and can teach it. The fact that he
