Backache

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out Of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, govt.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state Of health,"
says DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, ''is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount Of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensive and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than
hthia, dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

Rats More Learned In Ohio.

Rats destroy on an average Of $500

board. The rodents. which infest the
basement Of University hall, where the
catalogues are kept, nibble the binding
of the books in order to get the paste
which holds the leaves together. The
common methods used to get rid of
rats, such as poison and traps, have

for the rats, probably because Of their

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so II lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take Off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.

Why does the sound of bell cease
when you touch 1t? Because sound is
due TO waves in the air which strike
the drum of the ear. When a bell or
gong is struck it vibrates and produces
waves in the air that reach the ear.
When you touch the bell the vibration
is stepped and there are no more sound

MINING AND DREDGING
 EDITION POSTPONED

In answer to numerous inquiihes-re- iative to the Nuggets annual publica- tion. the Mining and Dredging Edition, the publisher announces that the journal will not appear this fall. After a survey of the situation it has been decided to publish the magazine in the Spring shortly before the opening of navigation and this rule will be fol- lowed in issuing all future editions. The great press of business during the fall months has at all times rendered the task of publishing the magazine one of great difficulty. Not only is it hard to find time to secure the neces- sary information but in haste and rush marking the last days of the season it is practically impossible to cover the field thoroughly as is desired. Ii has been the aim of the publishers at all times to make the magazine as full ly comprehensive of the local field as possible, overlooking no item of infor- nation relative to tho mining condi- tions and activities of Seward Penifi- ] sula that would be of interest to the public Although attaining fair de- gree of success in this respect in the past, the magazine has at all times fallen short of what was desired ow- ling to the impossibility of entirely l covering the field during the late fall. Under the new plan 1t will be possible to fully accomplish this purpose. By issuing in the Spring the publisher will have ample opportunity to thoroughly cover every field of endeavor and also avoid all inaccuracies due to haste and te absence of time in which to verify the information secured.
 AS in previous years. the Nugget re- quests that readers who possess photos
 of late mining operations or other views illustrative of the industries and activities of this section kindly per.
