DRY TO HIM.

"Is this a dry town?'' Are you g stranger here p'' '1 am." "It is."
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1917-04-19

How many times we hear of com
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be ~
or so years OF age. This fatal work Is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate. 1t causes
auto-intoUcation. The more injuri-
Gus the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It Is thus the wisest policy, to pre-.
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work Of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty Of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

A man was frisking over his last

that a pair OF pants was SO much moth

that they were arranged In mechan-

his player-piano. and to his amazement
they rendered two verses Of "Home,
