Rheumatism

Those of us who are past middle age
ara prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges Of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, uAnuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in ridding
the impoverished blood OF its polsons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for rAnuric" for kidneys
or backache. 1t will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night.

AZ An Arab Clinic.

According to writer In the Cornhiil

the rare advantages OF a modern Euro
pean clinic, which they all seem to ap-
preciate greatly.
The work was not Iona In beginning

his room, took on mis- coat rolled up
his sleeves, and then emerged. hatiess
and ready for the fray. The rabble
seethed round, all wanting TO be n.

vainly tried to get clear tale OF anv

E. waved them back from him and
threw his hands In despair t,ward the
heavens with look Of infinite distress.
Then a space was made and the inter-

Canine Heroes Had to Die.

All but six Of the famous St. Ber-
nard dogs kept by the monks OF that
ancient monastery in the Alps have
been killed. Shortage Of meat caused
by the war led to this massacre.
The St. Bernard pass is OF historic
renown. II connects the valleys OF
the Rhine ard the Dora Baltea. II
was traversed by Roman legions thou
sands Of years ago. lr medieval times
the pass served the armies Of conquer
ors and the bands Of mercenaries. Ma
poleon crossed the Alps at this point
in 1900.
The great monastery was built in
the middle OF the sixteen century. II
was maintained for the relief OF tray-
elers who were surprised by snow
storms while crossing the pass. The
St. Bernard dogs were used TO find the
frozen victims Of the storms in the
snowdrifts. They were specially train
ed for this work Of relief and carried
the first aid TO the injured in little
basket attached to their collars. These
dogs rescued thousands of human be-
inss, many Of whom were Of historical
prominence. And for the Arst time in
the history OF this famous monastery
the dogs had TO be slaughtered for want
of food. At other times a report oi
this sort would create proiouni interes
in Paris, but at present the human race
is thinking Of its own necessities and
cares less about dog heroes living more

GETS 8 YEARS IN PRISON.
Jury Finds VIM. Kelley Guilty OF
Murder OF Clifton Stinnett YER
dict Given Feb. IA.

In the trial of Mr.. VIM. Kelley of
this city which was held in Circuit
Court last week in Hardinsburg, the
jury found Mr.. Kelley guilty of the
murder of Clifton Stinnett, and on
Friday afternoon rendered a verdict
of nine years Imprisonment.
The tragedy occurred early last
summer while Mr.. Stinnett was en-
ployed on Reiley's farm. Both men
were out in the field working together
and apparently were on the best of
terms. The murdered man was found
near a spring by his wife. There were
no eye witnesses to the scene. Rel
ley has been confined in the county
Jail since the killing and his health
has been greatly impaired during his
confinement.
