WHAT NEIGHBORS in IOWA
Say About a New Discovery.


Many local people are glad to testify
to the good results obtained from Anuric,
the discovery of Doctor Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y, for kidney
and bladder disorders, backache, rheu-
matism and all uric acid troubles. This,
is what Mrs. ETHEL WHITEHEAD, of 100
S. 22nd Street, says:
CouNc1I. BLUFFS, Iowa. -. Just about
five years ago l began suffering with
kidney trouble and bladder weakness. l
would have severe backacheS, my eyes
would puff and l would boat so would
have to release my clothes, and at times
would have no control of the bladder
whatever, and suffered something awful.
/ have doctored and taken medicine but
have never found relief in anything until
/ began taking Anuric. 1t has given me
more real relief than have had in five
years past. 1t is il splendid medicine and
/ am glad to recommend it,"
Wien the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse the
blood sufficiently. and the poisons are
carried to all parts of the body. There
follow depression, aches and pains, heavl-
ness, drowsineSs, irritubility, headaches,
chilliness and rheumatism. In some .peo-
pie there are sharp pains in the back
and loins, distressing bladder disorders
and sometimes obstinate dropsy. The
uric acid sometimes forms into gravel
or kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the tissues, muscles and joints,
it causes lumbago, rheumatism, govt or
scatca. This is the time to try Anuric,
double strength, the discovery of Doctor
| Pierce. for kidney trouble and pains in
back and all over body! Write Doctor

Substitute for Lacquer.

The scarcity of the natural lacquer
of the Japanese, the sap of She tree
Rhus vernicifera, has brought to no.
tice thitsi, like product obtained by
the Burmese from the black varnish
tree. The substances prove to be es-
sentially identical and thitsi is already
used as varnish or lacquer on wood,
cloth and paper, and as cement in
Burmese glass mosaics. A larger
lacquer work field for Burma is sug-
gested.

Flowers.

Flowers are perhaps the most effec-
i've of the many little finishing
touches" necessary to an attractive
home. There are thousands of persons
with beautiful houses, costly furnish
ings, perhaps, artistically and skillful
ly arranged by the hands of a clever
decorator, but it takes the little finish
ing touches, the seemingly unimpor
sant tiny things, done by the woman
who loves and exists for her home and
expresses her soul in her surroundings
TO make the house lovable.

Spreading Happiness.

SO to order ones life as to keep,
amid tolls and sufferings, the faculty
of happiness, and be able to propagate
1t in sort of salutary contagion
among ones fellow men, is to do q
work of fraternity in the noblest sense.
To give trifling pleasure, smooth an
anxious brow, bring little light into
dark paths-what a truly divine Office
in the midst of this poor humanity =
Exchange.

not work out doors, SO he had to wait
till Friday.
He cut the grass then, but it had
grown SO long that it did not cut
there We're some rough places where
the tall grass had been pressed down
by the lawn mower but had not been
cut off.
/, The next time the grass needed cut
ting, Tom went at it bright and early
/ in the morning. 1t was about a quar-
ter done when Eddie Ives came along
with a bat over his shoulder and a
catcher's mitt on one hand. He stop
ped at the fence and called, Come
on, Tom; We're going to play the
White Stars

i Tom.
"Oh, you can do that in half an
hour Let it go till afternoon. We
want you in the game
Tom left the lawnmower just where
it stood, and went off with his friend.
The boys all seemed glad he was there
and he enjoyed the game immensely
But just before the end of the game
he hurt his hand so badly that he had
to go home and have it bandaged. He
forgot all about Mr. Webster's lawn
and where he left the lawnmower
He thought of it the next morning
and tried to finish the work; but the
mower being out in the dew all night,
had rusted, so that it ran hard, his
hand hurt him, too, and so he called
in Jimmy Russell, who was passing.
and got him to help.
But Jimmy was too small !. handle
the rusty mower very well. In going
around shrub he broke off big
branch; and he also knocked off a
piece of bark from one of the trees.
By the time they had finished, it was
too dark to rake up the grass and car
ry it off So Tom kicked it around a
little, where it was thickest, so that it
would not look quite SO bad He said
to himself that next time he would do
the job better
But the next time never came. When
the grass was long enough to NOW
again, and Tom went over with his
lawnmower, he found the grass all
nicely cut, and short, red-headed
boy raking it up.
Here, Sam Casey" cried Tom
What are you doing on my lawn?"
at isn't your lawn any more. It's
my lawn"
What do you mean?" asked Tom.

and then he saw that Hooty the Owl
was quietly waiting for him.
When Reddy Fox reached the bay
berry bush he sat down and barked
twice. Hooty the Owl answered him
at once and flew over to join him.
They didn't see the Willful Little
Breeze curled up under the bayberry
bush. they were SO intent in plotting

They were planning to steal down
across the green meadows to the edge
of the Brown pasture where Mr.. Bob

could go much faster than they, and
he took shorter route, too,' and so
he got there first.
He had to hunt and hunt to,fnd Mr..
