CushEna1 Binder ENGINE

The Cushman H. P. is the one Sue
cessful Binder Engine. Thousands are
in use every harvest. Fits any binder.
Engine drives sickle and all machinery.
Since horses have only to pull machine,
two horses will easily handle 8-ft. binder
in heavy grain. In a wet harvest Cush-
man Engine saves the crop, as it keeps
sickle going when bull wheel slips.
Very Important-The weight of the en-
CINE on the rear of the binder, only 1877
lbs, is balanced by the simple cone water
cooler on the front of the binder. This
balancing, anc the water cooling, to pre-
vent overheating on all day runs, are
necessary to successful work in hot field.
After harvest CuSfnlan engine does all other
TOrk. Very light weight and easy to move
around. yet runs more steadily than most
heavy engines, because of Throttle Cover
nor and perfect balance. All. P. weighs
only 100 lbs; when stripped for binder
only 167 lbs. 8 H. P. only 800 lbs. Also
Is aud 20 H. T. sizes.

CLIP THIS AND PIN ,
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up Corns or Calluses so They Lift
of With Fingers.

Ouch! !! This kind Of rough
talk will be heard less here in town
if people troubled with corns will
follow the simple advice Of this Gin
cinnati authority, who claims that a
few drops of a drug called freezone'
when applied toea tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corr or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain. .
He says freezone dries immediate
and never inflames or eve i~rritates
the surrounding skin. A small bot
tie of frezone will cost very little at
any drug store, but will positively
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inauguration
of the high heels. If your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or
der a small bottle for you.-Adv.

MOTHER! DON'T TAKE
CHANCES IF CHILD'S
TONGUE is COATED
If Gross, Feverish, Sick Bilious
Clean Little Liver and Bowels.

A laxative todays saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish,
stomach sour. 0.. a.
Look at the tongue, Mother! If
coated, or your child is l~istless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless doesn't
eat heartily, full lof cold or has sore
throat or any other children's all
ment, give a teaspoonful of "Califor-
mia Syrup of Figs" then don't worry,
because it is perfectly harmless, and
in a few hours all this constipation
poison, sour bile, and %fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough "inside
cleansing is ofttimes all that is nee
essary. 1t should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie of "California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
up plainly printed on the bottle.
Look carefully and see that it is
made by the california Fig Syrup
Company."-Adv.

Don't put in another day of dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse your
stomach; remove the sour, ferment-
ing food; take the excess bile from
your liver and carry out all the con-
stipated waste matter and poison in
the bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens
you out by morning. They work
while you sleep. A 10-cent box from
any drug store means a clear head,
sweet stomach and clean, healthy
liver and bowel action for months.
Children live Cascarets because they
never grippe or sicken.

rs POUNDS
BY TAKING TANLAC
PERRY DECLARES HE is NOW
WELL AND STRONG AGAIN.

"I don't reckon there ever was
anybody in a much worse fix than I
was when I began taking Tanlac, but
I've actually gained rs pounds since
I began taking the medicine and now
I fell as we'll and strong as anyone
could wish," declared S. W. Perry, an
employee of the City Of Nashville,
Tenn, who resides at 1922 Grace St.,
that city.
Zone day about three years ago."
continued Mr.. Perry, "my stomach
became all swollen up and sore and
I began to have pains in my chest. I
took medicines and used linaments,
but they did me no good and there
was never a day during those three
years I waws free from suffering
until I took Tanlac. I had no appe-
tite for anything to eat, and every
thing I did eat was so heavy on my
stomach I could hardly endure the
pain. I had nervous indigestion and
the gas would get into my chest and
almost cut off my breath. I was in
such a bad shape that the least ex-1
element would shock my. nerves
so much that my heart would jump
and futter and I was so weak Il
could hardly tote the baby. Some
mornings I would start to work and
my heart would start to 1uttering
and I'd get so weak 1 could hardly
breathe and would have to sit down
and rest and then go back home. Il
would be SO weak and worn out af-
ter. trying to work all day and would
be so long getting home my wife
would become afraid I was dead
somewhere along the way. Many a
night I suffered so I was just up
and down--mostly up-unable to
sleep at all. I took every kind Of
medicine I heard of and nothing did
me any good and I just kept going
down hill.
"Finally, a friend of mine who
knew Of my awful condition, told
I needed Tanlac and ! got al
bottle and began taking it, It gave
a fine appetite and I felt so much
better I got another bottle, and af-
ter taking it I felt perfectly well and
as strong as a mule. I have taken
six bottles in all and, as I said be-
fore, I've gained rs pounds in weight
and when meal time comes I am so
hungry as a wolf and can eat just
anything I want. I have none Of tibet
jumping and %auttering Of the heart
now and I can breathe as free and
easy as I ever could. I sleep like a
log every night and go to work ev-
cry morning swhistling and feeling
fresh and fine. When I hear anyone
around complaining, I tell them they
ought to take Tanlac."
