Our families were very intimate

to bind us the stronger together.
John had big heart. He loved
his friends and kindred and would
make any sacrifice for their pleas

bright side of life. He saw sun
shine and flowers everywhere.

VOC L saving of expense to candi-
dates and of time to the voters.
These letters were written the last
of October. Mr.. Haven immedi-
aiely wrote me that he would not
agree to my proposition. The
Polk County Republican not only
failed TO mention the fact that |
had made such proposition, but
proceeded further to attack me.
Perhaps that paper feels that that
is square deal. -
l at the same time addressed
a similar communication to the
members of the Executive Commit
tee, the letter to the above men
toned paper containing a copy OF
the letter to the Committeeman.

More Work Each Hour

Have you not often heard a man
remark that he wished there were
more hours in a day SO he could ac-
complish more?
While you cannot put more hours
into the day. you can increase your
working capacity by wearing glasses
that will permit your eyes to do a
maximum amount of work with
minimum expenditure of energy.
Let US grind for you pair of toric
lenses which not only give the wide
angle vision of the natural eye, but
do away with those irritating refiec-
tions from the rear surfaces which
occur with ordinary lenses and un-
necessarily tire the eyes

Killed by Poisons

ALI scientists agree that poisonous
products in the blood are eliminated by
the kidneys. The kidneys act as kind
Of filter for these products. When the
kidneys are changed or degenerated, by
disease or old age, then these poisons are
retained in the body. II we wish to pre-
vent old age coming on too soon, or If we
want to increase our chances for long
life, DR.. Pierce Of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y, says that you should drink
plenty of water daily between meals and
with your meals to flush the kidneys. Then
procure at your nearest drug store Anuric.
This Anuric drives the uric acid out.
II we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition diet OF milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day,
is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure
water, take Anuric three times day for a
month. Anuric is many times more potent
than lithia and dissolves uric acid a. hot
water does sugar.

AS OUT OF DATE
AS HORSE CARS
Says Corn Rings, plasters, Razors and
Eating Salves Are Taboo
Now

Good things should be passed along. 1t
is now said that few drops of drug
called treezone applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn relieves the soreness
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
can be lifted out without pain.
For little cost a quarter of an ounce of
freezone can be obtained from any drug
store, which is claimed to be sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or callous
from ones feet.
This is a drug recently announced
from Cincinnati. 1t is gummy but dries
the moment it is applied and simply
shrivels up the corn without inhaming or
even irritating the healthy tissue or skin.
Cut this out and lay it on your wifes
dresser.--Ady.
