To Beautify the Ankles

If the flesh of the ankles is to be re-
II in, while the skin is soft and the
pores open from a bath, with strong,
vigorous strokes. Then bind the ankles
tightly with linen that has been soaked
as as close as possible. but care T must us be "
taken TO avoid stopping the circulation
When the ankles are too slender for
beauty, after taking the hot foot bath,
massage their surface gently with cod

tightly in linen soaked in the same
solution. If you are not satisfied with
the shape of your ankles. follow this
method carefully and see If the results
are not well worth the effort.

The kidneys are the most overworked organs of the human body, and when they fail in their work of Altering out and throwing off the poisons developed in the system, things begin to happen.
 One of the first warnings is pain or stiff ness in the, lower part of the back; highly colored urine; loss of appetite; ndiges- tion; irritation, or even stone in the blad- der. These symptoms indicate condition that may lead to that dreaded and fatal malady, Brights disease, for which there Is said to be no cure.
 Do not delay a minute. At the first in- dication of trouble in the kidney. liver. bladder or urinary organs start taking Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules, and save yourself before it is too late. Instant treatment is necessary in kidney and blad- der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
 You can almost certainly find immediate relief in Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules. For more than 200 years this famous prep aration has been an unfailing remedy for all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
 It is the pure, original Haarlem Oil your great-grandmother used. About two cap sules each day will keep you toned up and feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and If it does not give you almost immediate relief, your money will be refunded. Be sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand. None other genuine. In boxes, three slzes.-Adv.

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is sure sign the little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once.

 Nothing equals California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a tea spoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, deli cious ''fruit laxative" and it never fails to effect a good 'inside" cleans ing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle.
