Kidney Disorder
(1Y DIR. L. c. BABoocK)

"The most simple methods are usually
the most effective ones when treating
any disorder of the human system"
The mere drinking a cup of hot water
each morning, plenty of pure water all
day, and a little Anuric before every
meal has been found the most effective
means of overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsiness,
irritabiity, headaches. chilliness, rheu-
matte twinges, swollen joints or govt.
Since it is such simple matter to step
into drug store and obtain Anuric double
strength), anyone who earnestly desires to
regain health and new life will waste no
time in beginning this treatment.

announcement was first made, mem
bers OF the alumnae Of the former in
stitution have fought the measure, the
pressure finally becoming SO strong
that the board OF trustees called off the

Pure sentiment seems to have actu-

that their alma mater would lose its
identity having apparently come before
the physical welfare Of the institution.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS


You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me quarter Of an ounce
OF freezone." This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet
A few drops OF this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly. and soon the entire
corn, root and all, dries up and can be
lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that. while freezone is
sticky. 1t dries in moment, and SIM
ply shrivels up the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur.
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but clip this out and make him try it..

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

Disbelief is the chief stumb-
ling-block to mans achieve
ment; when man doubts. he is
dazed by the 'Impossibles" that
confront him.
IL matters not to you nor me
If in sad heart or in great
glee. the ill wind blows to us the
best. whether it comes from east
or west.
Heaven is always found
within the heart whenever the
obstructing veil of doubt is rent
apart-peace presides when
doubt is out.
Suffering comes from selfish
ness and when man does not
give a chance to other men he
gets chaos for himself, and
chaos brings a crisis.
Get the habit of reading the
bargain news every day in the
Want Ad pages OF The Pallad-
um-in a minute or two you may
find there the very thing that
you need, and in the buying of
which you may save many dol
lars.
The telephone is a public util-
ity, and so also is The Pallad-
ium Want AID medium. Use
them both. Phone 1884.

THE HITE HOUS E
April 10, 1917

To the Farmers of the Country:
At the present moment it is our plain duty to
take adequate steps that not only our own people
be fed, but that we may, if possible, answer the
call for food of other nations now at war. In
this greatest of human needs feel that the
American farmer will do his part to the utter
most. By planting and increasing his produc-
ton in every way possible every farmer will per-
form labor of patriotism for which he will be
recognized as soldier of the commssary, adding
his share to the food supply of the people.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
