Died Of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear Of compare
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived TO be 20 or so years
of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys
degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication.
The more injurious the poisons passing
thru the kidneys the quicker will those
noble organs be degcnersted, and the
sooner they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy. to prevent
premature old age and promote long life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long. and occasionally tax
ing = little Anurio before meals. This This
can be obtained at almost any drug store

The Round Crest companies have

f1H.ries in this section by Offering
q contract price OF SIS ton for to-
matoee with all plants furnished.
This Is an unusually high price and
an excellent offer and as yet the other
canncries have not seen fit TO

prospective growers that the Round
screst company cannot hope to make
money on tomatoes NJ the contract

any plant offering the grower more
than this Is cutting just 10 much on
