WANT BIRCH LAKE OFFICE
NAMED WARD SPRINGS.

The patrons of the Birch lake post
Office are aggitating the question of
changing the name of that postoffice in
favor of Ward Springs. 1t is argued
that ny naming the postoffice Ward
Springs less errors would result in
the mails, and therefore better
service, as there are many a similar
names to Birch Lake. There is a
large number of people of the twin
cities, Little Falls and other places
who spend their summers at the lakes,
at the same time keeping in constant
touch with their business through the
mails. and the Importance OF securing
the best service IN this direction has
made itself evident to the patrons of
that postofice. A petition signed by
Birch lake, Ward Springs and Sank
Centre people has been sent to the
postot1ice department at Washington,
asking for this change.

How to Prepare a Mixture
to Cure Rheuma-
tism

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matlsm, take teaspoontul OF the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and
at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandeiion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces. .-'-- :,
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists,
and are easily mixed by shaking them
we'll in 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 tortuous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be grei thy 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, dose
or two daily. or even a.few times a
week. would never have serious KID
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
" relieve are scarce. indeed, and when
you need 1t. you want 1t badly.
