The people who need religion are:
The man who left his horse out in
the cold without blanket on; the

when his wife asks him for money;
the woman who is not what she

looking for another place and a
higher salary; the man who walks
the streets with his hands in his

heard footsteps in tn front office.
Scarcely believin' his own ears, he

we gave her food an shelter. She
wore a pinched expression, a faded
wrapper an many new an strange

know is when do you expect t git on

Elmer said he could not fix any def
mite date, so his wife's father told him
he would gladly take his daughter
back an give him some alienation

tn cars er go way an never come
back. Elmer, after slight hesitation,
promised, an tn next mornin' tn oper-

"Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water

harmless and is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kid
neys in a healthy condition by thor
oughly cleansing them. Checks the de-
generation of the blood-vessels, as well
as regulating blood pressure. "Anuric"
is a regular insurance and life-saver
for all big meat eaters and those who
deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask
