Franklin Objects Seriously.

She isn't very large, that's true, but
being a county seat, and boasting of
a college, several factories. flour mills,
railways, interurbans and her lately
acquired Masonic home, Franklin feels
that she is not a town to be passed
lightly by, in fact, she Knows her i'm
portance, and thought that everyone in
the state realized it until she was
taken down bit lately. During the
big conference of the Methodist
churches held recently in the town a
meeting of the indianapolis presbytery
was in session at the same time at
Hopewell, a country church in a pros
porous farming community a few
miles out. One of the Presbyterian
delegates, on leaving the train Joined
in the throng headed for the Method
list church When 1t came to regis

someone to suggest that probably he

customers, approached the proprietor,

you as a man on whom one could rely
with perfect confidence, who had only

it was always pleasure TO deal"
'Mr Quorn is very kind" answered
the other, beamlng with qualification.
"He is one of by best customers. What

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
tiun, 0vercomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning. brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DIR. kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co, Binehamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. W hen writing be sure and

Uric Acid Poisoning i?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present In
the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-
perjmenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y, DIR. Pierce discovered
combination Of native remedies that
he called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and In this
way the pain, swelling and infiamma-
ton subside. If you are a sufferer from
rheumatism, backache. pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DIR. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you win find many
times more potent than lithia
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.

Heaven is space, and the third

Then the Spiritual part Of

men, who die in Christ. Inor'

heaven, we shall ask you TO read.

Thursday, when party of very con-
genial friends gave a surprise party
to their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Cbas

sisted of Pastor Wear and wife. Mr..

party filled with the spirit of Christ
mas and good fellowship, with
hearts attuned to the lovely day,
thankful for the blessings of such a
climate as we enjoy in this our
adopted land. When at Christmas
one can spend the day out Of doors,
under sky rivalling the sky of
Italy in its beauty, waited by
breezes balmy and sweet. With a
sumptuous dinner of fried chicken,
chicken pilleau, ham, salads, pies
and cakes and other delicacies,
served under the lofty pine trees,
seated upon soft cushions of pine
needles, a king might envy us our
state and surrounding and condi-
tion. After this feast, the after
noon hours spent together were
pleasant ones, the ladies engaged in
pine needle basketry and the gen.
Ilemen in entertaining us. Music
and oranges made the closing mo-
nents of this day still replete with
good things. A GUEST.
