Each Man Took on From Ten K
Twenty-Five Pounds While o.
the Border.

Company L boys who returned to
keokuk Monday night are from ten to
twenty-five pounds heavier than when
they left this city seven months ago.
Soldering, evidently, has been good

also tough as nails, the extra flesh be-

They were not always SO sleek and
fat, though. Just ask them what the
first few weeks on the border were
like. Before they became used to camp

being added each day to their daily
march, the members Of the local COM

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft.

Are You Being Slowly
Poisoned?

The most eminent physicians recoe
nize that uric acid stored up IN the
system is the cause Of govt and rheu-
matism, that this uric poison Is de-
posted in the joints. muscles. OF
nerve-sheath. BY experimenting and
analysis at the Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. Y, DIR. Pierce discovered
a combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric, which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and IN this
way the pain, swelling and inflama-
ton subside. II you are sufferer
from rheumatism, backache. pains
here or there. you can obtain Anurtc
double strength .: any drug store
and get relief from the pains and Ills
brought about by uric acid.
Swollen hands, ankles. feet are due
to a dropsical condition. often caused
by disordered kidneys. Naturally
when the kidneys are deranged the
blood is filled with poisonous uric acid,
which settles In the tissues OF the feet,
ankles. wrists or back as uratic salts;
or under the eyes in bag-like forma-
tons.
It is Just as necessary to keep the
kidneys acting properly as to keep the
bowels active to rid the body OF
poisons. @
The very best possible way to take
care Of yourself is to take glass OF
hot water before meals and an Anuric
tablet. In this way it is readily dis.
solved with the food, picked up by the
blood and finally reaches the Kidneys.

feet.
Step into a drug store and ask for
a 5O-cent package of Anuric, or send
DR.. Pierce 10c, for trial package. An
uric-many times more potent than
lithta, eliminates uric acid as hot wa
ter melts sugar. A short trial will
convince you.
