ton Of the blood and builds up the
whole system. 1t drives out rheuma-
tism because it cleanses the blood.
It has been successfully used for
forty years in many thousands of
cases the world over.
There is no better remedy for skin
and blood diseases, for loss Of appe-
tites rheumatism, stomach and kidney
troubles. general debility and all ills
arising from impure. impoverished,

met number of the guarantors of
Warsaw's first chautauqua at 5 p. m.
Thursday in DR.. Hartley's Office to
present fine array of talent, eleven
companies for the 1917 chautauqua.
Mr. Meneely says that Hale, Mo-, was
the banner town for successful first
year chautauquas and that Warsaw
was second. Mr.. Meneely wants to
meet all of Warsaw's thirty-five guar
antors before Ia leaves Saturday and
others also. The best of feeling pre-
vailed last evening and desire ex-
pressed to make the 1917 chautauqua
as much better as possible than 1916.
A contract was signed by those pres
ent not to be binding unless twenty
names were secured. A canvass to-
day showed thirtyone names, with a
possible fifty in view. There is a
general desire for another chautau-
qua and enthusiasm shown among
those who nave not previously had
the chautauqaa habit" The same
grounds have been secured as for
1916, but dates cannot now be de-
cided, but will be soon. Will try
to arrange them so as not to conflict
with other chautauquas or the farm
ers as the latter are the standbys
everywhere for this class of public
entertainment.
