He MISSED HIS TRAIN
Now Joe Rankin Is at the Police Sta
ton With Broken Head.

Joe Rankin. past middle age ana
weakened by dissipation, stood before
Judge Robert Yates in police court
and penitently begged to be released
from Jail in order that he might go
back to Maple Hill and go to work.
81 have been working hard up there
clearing ground for an orchard, he
said. q came down here on business
and got hold of half pint of whisky
That's why I'm here"
will you take a train right away II
l let YOU go, Joe?" asked the judge.
Il will. | want to get to work. l
don't want anything more to do with
Topeka" he said.
But somehow Joe missed the flrst
train and when it came time for the
second he didn't care whether he
caught it or not. He was back in the
lowlands and had connected up with
another flask of whisky and con-
vivial friend. Along in the afternoon
his friend. Earl Cunningham, became
frolicsome and played tattoo on
Rankins head. Half an hour later
both were back in Jail and DR.. H. L.
Clark, city physician. was working
over Rankin's injuries. There were
deep gashes on the back of his head
and another under his right eye.
Old Joe Rankin at some time has
suffered an accident that marked him
for life. Dagonally across his fore
head and down between his eyes there
is a depression in the bone deep
enough to bury a stove poker.

be termed pain specialist"
Ready to minister to the need of every
one who suffers pain. regardless of its pr1-
mary cause, anti-kamnia tablets await your
call at every drug store.
The development of most diseases is
heralded by pain and fever and while in
are exceedingly useful in a large number
of diseases.
That is because these tablets are quite
as effective as reducers OF fever as they
are as believers of pain
Therefore, they have their use in any
disease where pain or fever exist, either
together or separately.
1t is gratifying to note that prominent
practitioners everywhere have prescribed
anti-kamnia tablets with most satisfying
results in the treatment of all kinds of
headache, migraine, neuralgia, la grippe,
and its after effects; as a sedative in indi-
gestion, gastralgia, dyspepsia, hyster1a, and
insomnia; as an antipyretic in intermit-
tent and malarial fevers and bronchitis
and for the severe pains of toothache,
sciatica, rheumatism and govt.
You know full well when you are in
pain or when you feel feverish and it
doesn't require physicians's advice to tell
you so-nor is a prescription needed to
take anti-kamnia tablets. They may be
obtained in any quantity desired.
You'll find It no longer necessary to
take your every ache and pain to a doctor.
when you have once learned of the quick
relief afforded by anti-kamnia tablets, the
pain specialists, at the corner drug store.

by his political managers. He even
forgot, apparently, his own fiagrantly
unjust charge that the election Of Mr..
