Was Mixed Often.

Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the coun-
try people coming in Of this sample
homemade mixture curing Rheu-
matism and directions for taking !:
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion.
one ounce Compound Kargop, three
ounces Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Take as dose one teaspoon
full after meals and at bedtime
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of good
water.
This mixture has a peculiar tonic
effect upon the kidneys; cleansing
the clogged-up pores of the elimina-
tive tissues, forcing the kidneys to
sif, and strain from the blood the
uric acid and other poisonous waste
matter, overcoming Rheumatism,
Bladder and Urinary troubles ia a
short while.
A druggist here who has had hun
dreds Of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement 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.
All the druggists in this neighbor-
hood say they can supply the in
gradients, which are easily mixed al
home. There is said TO be no bet
ter blood-cleansing agent OF system
tonic known, and certainly none
more harmless OF simple to use.

and intentional sins are pointed out

dues as their church demands. The
earnest, Conscientious, God fearing
minister cannot ,do.all of the work
that is demanded by the Saviour, of
his church. :. IT'S needless to point
out the work allotted the church and
its various members. as outlined by
Paul church people are. or should
be. .conversant with these instruc-
tons and if they are not, it is high
time that they take their bibles off
of the shelf or center table, wipe the
dust from the covering lids, and get
somebody to find the. place for them,
study the discipline and take an hour
away from business occasionally and
do some real earnest pastoral work.
If we are spiritually minded and
have the welfare of our fellow beings
at heart, we can talk and act the
love Of God as we'll as we can talk a
ten dollar suit Of clothes at "S12.98,
we're selling at $780," or evade
the pure food law by selling adulter-
ated teas, spices or canned goods,
cheaper than the other fellow who
is selling the pure article, if he
knows it.

dream to be realized only by the
wealthy and well-to-do, and an H.

away from empty stocking on Christ

we're shed by poor children over
hopes blasted by you who could have

close-cropped hair was becoming
streaked with gray, stands at a sep

workmen, apparently to please him,
join in.
Besides myself | recognize among
the employees, two other unofficial
Jews, who likewise struggled them
selves in. One of them is a tall yourty
man, with a long, thin neck, sandy
hair, freckled face, red mustache, and
small, cunning eyes, which dodge
abount craftily from the board on
which he is working the cigars, to the
cigars which lie finished in an envel-
ope, from them to his neighbours en-
velopes, thence to the envelopes of
the workmen opposite him, and thence
to Mccarthy. They jump about in

companied by a jerk of the wire-like
neck and narrow shoulders, and all the

the unfinished cigar from the paper
presses it to his lips, and rolls it in
the wrapping sheet. On finishing each
cigar he strums with his fingers as if
he were passing his hands over the
keyboard of piano, chops the tuck"
with a little instrument, and patting
the head of the cigar with his lips,
he filings it into the heap of finished
cigars in the envelope, and ever and
anon. he casts his rowing eyes in ev'
cry direction like a mouse from It's
hole.
The other unofficial" Jew sits or

a stout young man with clean-shav

always wear an earnest and wondering
look, just as if his head were filled

What The Kidneys DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us

through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy

in the blood. This brings on many di-
seases and symptoms pain in the back,

rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight, bad hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the ueine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
