To Preuent Old Age
Coming Too Soon !

'aToxic poisons in the blood are thrown
out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as
filters for such products. If we wish to
prevent old age coming too soon and in
crease our chances for long life, we
should drink plenty Of pure water and
take little Anuric," says the world
famed DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
When suffering from backache, fre-
quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains
here or there, or that constant tired,
worn-out feeling, the simple way to
overcome these disorders is merely to
obtain little Anuric double strength)
from your nearest druggist and you will
quickly notice the grand results. You
will find it many times more potent
than lithia, and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

considered Plans were made which
will result in less acreage being de-

Tobacco was a profitable crop last

were planning larger crops for this

labor, has forced a revision Of their
plans, and under the scheme worked
out at the Agricultural College it is

The organization Of country girls for
