Two Ways Of "cIeaninu Up."

Some years ago a young man from
a small country town, on visiting Gin.
%cinnati, walked into one of the down
town barber shops to have his haiI
cut.
After the barber had clipped for
some time on the young mans head, he
asked him if he hadn't better have his
hal rcleaned up. The young man, after
glancing at the hair on the floor and
thinking the barber was trying to put
n over Oh him, said he guessed not"
After asking the same question sew.
eral times to no avail the barber gave
it up. The young man paid his bill
and went from the shop, laughing to
himself, thinking he wasn't so green
after all.
Afterward it dawned on him that
the barber wanted only to give him a
shampoo.

Bodily Housekeeping
(By v. N. PIERCE. M. d.

The subject Of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation BY
means Of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during d.
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take a little Anuric before meals.
This can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
5r old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. AID for long life, occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times a day.
Anuric acts much more quickly than
hthia. Many find that il dissolves
uric acid as water does sugar.
