Died Of Premature Old Ace,

How many dimes we hear o. com.
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be "a
or 50 years OF age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes

neys the quicker will those noble or.
cans 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 q be done BY drink.
Ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can he
obtained at almost any drug store. You

LIFT YOUR coRNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called %freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
ever irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of ~freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from hie
wholesale drug house.-adv.

LIFE IN THE YARDS.

A foul smelling place you say on
your first visit. Dirt under foot, CRIME
and SCOT in the air, raw reek from
the abbatOirs, a terrible confusion
blood and slaughter. You are sick
you do not understand-you want to
get away. So it goes. Gradually the
fog begins to lift, or if it does not, at
least your eyes can see the figures in
skies.
III a year or so, perchance, you get
a glimpse Of the mighty organization
that can each day unload, slaughter
and prepare thousands of live things
for the worlds food. You begin TO
see the manly types about you, for in
the yards men do things The Stacker
has no place in that beehive.
You see and know these men-the
riders in the pens-the commission
men-the men of the abbatoirs-the
clerks-the intelligence men You
find that what you thought was con-
fusion, noise and slaughter-is organ
lied perfection working for great
purpose-that of feeding humanity.
The odors-ah, best of all after a
while they too disappear and no long
er offend you
No, from the esthete's standpoint,
the Yards is not a pretty place. 1t
does not smack of beauty except that
bigness, industry, power, reek and
ugliness are beautiful. To some it is
one Of the real interesting places OF

The petition had been largely signed;
many names and eloquent meetings

governor, and implore him to be a
merciful ass and trample his duty un-
