Building-up for the Spring Attack at the Front is a good deal like putting the body in condition for an invasion of the germs of grip, pneumonia or "Spring fever" here at home.
 At this time of the year most people suffer from a condition often called Spring Fever. They feel tired. worn out, before the day is half thru They may have frequent headaches and sometimes ''pimply" or pale skin and white lips. The reason for this is that during the wintertime shut up with in doors, eating too much meat and too little green vegetables. one heaps fuel into the system which is not burned up and the clinkers remain to poison the SyStem-a clogging up of the circu- lation-with inactive liver and kidneys. Time to put your house in order
 For an invigorating tonic which will clarify the blood, put new life in the body, sparkle to the eyes, and a wholesome skin, nothing does so well as a glyceric herb extract made from Golden Seal root, Blood and Stone root, Oregon grape root and Wild Cherry bark. This can be had in con- yenient, ready-to-use tablet form at all drug stores, sixty cents, and has been sold for the past fifty years as Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery. By reason of the nerves feeding on the blood, when the blood is pure the nerves feel the effect. and neuralgia or other nerve pains disappear because such pain is the cry of the starved nerves for food. When suffering from backache, frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or there. or that constant tired feeling, the simple way to overcome these disorders is merely to obtain Dr. Pieree's Anuric from your druggist In tablets, sixty cents.

Don't Buy Too Bia a Bond.

Here is a word of advice for the farmer bond purchaser. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Your gov ernment doesn't want you to strap yourself or run into financial difficult ties trying to pay for bond. Buy one small enough so you will be able to pay for it in the allotted time without having to borrow money to meet the obligation. Its value will represent your savings for that period of time. If your circumstances won't permit of you purchasing q S1000 bond, buy on lv a $500 one Don't Complicate our already complicated financial problem by assuming debt you can't pay.
