ROOT JUICE HAS PROVED ITS
GREAT MERIT TO MANY.

Many people here. as elsewhere, are
no longer incredulous. they are simply
amazed at the results obtained from
Root Juice. When the remedy was
first introduced to this community and
so many were being benefited by few
doses, it was generally thought that
the medicine would only give temper
airy relief, bu- as the time passes and
many that were ailing are no longer
complaining, but are advising their
sick friends to try Root Juice. conf
dence in the great medicine is becom-
ing positive. Root Juice makes SO
many remarkable cures by removing a
few causes and giving nature chance.
1t tones and heals the stomach, bowels,
liver and kidneys; it creates a healthy
appetite, and by its toning action on
the blood-making and blood-filtering
organs, good, rich blood is made to
nourish every weak part of the body.

neys are out of order, they will be

HODGE RAPS THE MOTOR CAR.
Abilene Secretary of Implement Deal
erS HeraldS Return of Top Buggy

Kansas City. Jan. 1S.-The ma
ligned top buggy, which of recent
years has been relegated in favor of
the motor car, is again coming into its
own in the rural districts.
This statement was made by H. j.
Hodge of Abilene, Kan, secretary of
the Western Retail Implement and
Vehicle Dealers association. which is
meeting here in its annual convention.
For a short time the motor car
held full sway said Mr.. Hodge. "It
was novel and moved swiftly. But its
speed proved its ruination. Coming
home from church socials in an auto
mobile did not seem just right, espe-
cially if the roads were little rough.
The natural result has been the return
to the soft-cushioned, high-backed,
easy-riding buggy"
