Defeat Backache and Kidney
Trouble With Anuric

Many people in this section have suffer-
ed from rheumatism and kidney trouble
and have found that Anuric was the most
successful remedy to overcome these
painful and dangerous ailments.
The lucky people are those who have
suffered. but who are now well because
they needed natures warning signal in
time to correct their trouble with that
wonderful new discovery of DR.. Pierce's
called "An-u-ric" double strengtf). You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells. backache,
irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges Of rheumatism, sciatica or lun-
bago. To delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
IS stone in the bladder. If you want

This will prove that "Anuric" eliminates

RUST WEARS OUT MACHINERY
Cost Of Farm Implements Can BE Re-
duced by Making Every Tool
Last Much Longer.

The price of farm machinery has
been advancing for some time. The
cost can be reduced by making every
machine last longer. A large proper
ton of farm machinery wears out too
soon because 1t is not given proper
care and attention. More machinery
is worn away every year by rust and
weather than by service. The life Of
any machine may be heightened by
protection from weather, good lubrica-
ton, and prompt attention to repairs.
Farm machinery frequently is left
standing in the field throughout the
winter. Housing not only protects the
implements from rust but leaves them
in good condition for use the follow
ing season.

TO PREVENT NoxlOUs PESTS
Clemson College Bulletin Gives Plan
for Destroying Weed Seeds in
6arnyard Manure.
fClemson College BulIetin.)

Clemson College Bulletin.)
Barnyard manure may become badly
infested with weed seeds on account
of hay which contains various kinds
Of seed being fed to live stock. Too
often the land is infested with nox-
ious weeds from this source.
This danger may be overcome, says
the agricultural extension division OF
Clemson college, by keeping manure in
piles 8 to 10 feet high from four to six
weeks. The heat and fermentation
produced In such piles has been found
to kill practically all the weed seed
with the exception of few on the sur
face of the pile. These can also be
destroyed by putting the surface ma
nure under the bottom Of new pile.
By this method the farmer may safely
use the manure from livery stables or
such other places.

That the effect of the war on the

''The United States government has

opinion that this class of horses would
be selling for $50 per head less were it
