RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine REM
edy for the Disease Has Been Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy, now sold by all good drug
gists, gives quicker and more lasting
relief than other remedies costing
many times aS much.
Rheuma acts with speed; 1t brings
in a few days the relief you have
prayed for. 1t antagonizes the pois-
ons that cause agony and pain in
the joints and muscles and quickly
the torturing soreness completely dis
appears.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: Il have made a
most careful investigation of the
formula employed in the manufacture
of Rheuma, and l heartily recon-
mend it as remedy for all forms of
rheumatism. l find Rheuma far in
advance of the methods generally en-
ployed in the treatment of rheuma-
tism, and altogether different in COM
position from the remedies usually
prescribed."-Dr.M NJ. c. Lyons. This
certainly should give any rheuma-
matte sufferer confidence to try this
harmless and inexpensive remedy.
If you have rheumatism in any
form don't delay - try Rheuma to-
day. Kennedy's Drug Store will sup
ply you and return your money If it
does not give you quick and Joyful
relief

A Simple Way to
Remove Dandruf

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need) a.,
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.

according to his idea, will be so
light that its fuel consumption on
rails will be extremely low, and,
Furthermore, it would not require
heavy expense for track construc-
ton and upkeep. Automobile steel
would not be strong enough, he said,
for use in building this car. In
place of four or five-inch aXles, the
new car will have a two-inch axle of
strong steel. The same proportions
would apply to the other dimen-
sions.

CONVENES MONDAY
After One Week of Special
Term the Regular October
Term VIII Begin

A special term of the circuit
court of Carroll county will con-
vene next Monday. This special
term was called last June, when
the regular June term was post
poned on account of the farmers
being so behind with their crops.
The long, wet spell had gotten the
farmers so behind that it was
thought best to postpone the ses-
sion of the court until a later date,
and the third Monday in October
was fixed.
The regular October term of the
court will convene the fourth Mon
day in this month as usual. The
court has been provided with two
Venires, one for the special term
and one for the regular term.
There has been 40 publication Of
the list of jurors. Under the pres
ent jury system the jurors are Sc
lected by a commission, and the
names are not given to the public
until they are impaneled.

"Y" War Work

When the public learns the facts
and figures of "Y" War Work
in the A. E. F. we feel sure that
justice will be accorded their
efforts. When the first Ameri-
can troops landed in France in
1917 they found the Y. already
there and serving them. AS their
numbers rapidly grew so the Y.
increased its plans commensurate
with the rapid growth of the army
Huts had to be built, supplies.
goods, equipment shipped over and
transported, all at a time when
ships, railroads and trucks had
all to be used by thh army.
Working under severest difficult
ties of transportation and other
war conditions the Y. accomplished
a wonderful record. The Y
seek no praise, but does claim just
credit for what it has done, and it
is certainly Untitled to this.
