THE CAUSE OF kNAEMlA

It Is universally known that iron is a very important element of the blood, and lack of it is the direct cause of rundown conditions and anaemia. It may interest our read CTS to know that Druggists, The Clark & Bralnerd Co.,, Riker-Hegeman n, New Britain, Conn, have in Vinol a a reliable, constitutional remedy for such conditions. Vinol supplies iron to the blood in its most soluble state, then there's the nourishing properties of beef peptone and the medicinal curative extractives of fresh cod livers, without oil, all dis solved in pure native tonic wine, That's what makes Vinol so success ful in overcoming rundown and an- aemic conditions.

Why Tolerate Catarlh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodg- ment in your head. To ignore this catarrh when the cold subsidies is wrong because it continues to slowly iniure the delicate Things of the nasal passages and clog them up.
 To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos- trils frequently with solution of warm water and salt, insert vaseline on re- tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month. scott's acts through the blood to feed the tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check the inflammation and heal the sensitive membranes.
 Scott's is pleasant to take.

CUT OUT MEATS
 IF KIDNEYS ARE
 TROUBLING YOU
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys and IIIitateS the
 Bladder.
Noted Authority says we must Hush Kidneys with Salts if
 Back Hurts.

We are nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid. says a well known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis- sues clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system.
 When your kidneys ache and Feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, ner- vousness, and dizzy spells, sleepless- ness, acid stomach or rheuma- tism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfa each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined With 1ithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer source of irritation, thus ending ur- mary and bladder disorders.
 dad Salts is inexpensive and can- not ln3ure; makes a delightful ef- fervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by talk ing little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

Special TO The World
DRUMRlGHT. Nov. 13.-That a
new baseball association would be
born into the sporting world the COM
ing season was made evident Thursday
when G.. l.. East of Kansas City, Mo-,
started a campaign among Missouri,
Kansas and Oklahoma towns to or
Canize what will be known as the Con-
tinental league. In a letter to the
Chamber Of Commerce at Drumright,
East proposes to place the local team
and the Bartlesvlle organization in
the association for the 1916 season,
for which practice will begin in few
months.
In the letter to the Chamber of
Commerce East names the following
towns in oklahoma, Kansas and
Missouri as those selected to join the
Continental league: Springfield, Jop-
lin and Sedalia, Mo-, Parsons, Pitts
burg, Independence and Coffeyville,
Kan, and Drumright and Bartlesville,
Okla. In these nine towns he pro-
poses to organize clubs in the same
manner in which the Western associ-
alton IS conducted. 1t is his idea to
introduce league ball in the towns
which have heretofore supported only
third class teams, ana it may be that
his plan will be adopted.
