Sudden Death
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys

Caused by Disease of the Kidneys
The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is we'll known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease OF brain
or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

The Farm Boys Greed.

] believe that the country
which God made is more beau
tiful than the city which man
made; that life out of doors and
in touch with the earth is the
natural life of man. believe
that work with nature is more
inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery. / be-
lieve that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do but
how you do it; that opportunity
comes to a boy on the farm as
often as to the boy in the city;
that life is larger and freer and
happier on the farm than in
the town; that my success de-
pends not upon my location, but
upon myself; not upon my
dreams, but upon what 1 actual
ly do; not upon luck, but upon
pluck. l believe in working
when you work, and in playing
when you play, and in giving
and demanding a square deal in
