WEAK KIDNEYS MEAN
A WEAK BODY

When you're fifty, your body begins to
creak little at the hinges. Motion is
more slow and deliberate. Not so young
as | used to be" is frequent and unwel-
come thought Certain bodily functions
upon which good health and good spirits
so much depend, are impaired. The weak
spot is generally the bladder. Unpleasant
symptoms show themselves. Painful and
annoying complications in other organs
arise. This is particularly true with ell
derby people. If you only know how, this
trouble can ne obviated.

HARLEM Oil has been relieving the in
convenience and pain due to advancing
years. 1t is a standard, old-time home
remedy, and needs no introduction. 1t is
now put up in odorless, tasteless capsules
These are easier and more pleasant to take
than the oil in bottles.
Each capsule contains about one dose OF
five drops. Take them just like you would
any pill, with small swallow of water.
They soak into the system and throw of

FooIinq the Coolies.

1 wrote to my brother in France,
who had been In action, asking If he
had acquired Coolies" His reply came
back: Eyes, indeed, l had coolies.
One is not regular soldier until he
does have them, but l got rid of mine
In this fashion: 1 sprinkled my
clothes all over with salt, then laid
them down on a river bank. The
coolies became very thirsty and got of
the clothes to get drink, then pulled
them away quickly. Nine-tenths of the
coolies died from modification and the

the reason is not hard to find.

of its members and the establishment
of that breed in the community.

KEEPING ONLY OF ONE BREED
in Holstein Observation-Disclosures
Have Learned Lesson.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Ten years ago a farmer in northern
Wisconsin began to breed GOurnseys
in q Holstein district. He now has a
fine herd and wonders why buyers
never come his way. The reason is
that when buyers want Guernseys
they naturally go to a Guernsey dis
trict. As rule, the breeders of pure
bred cattle already have learned this
lesson. The principle is as true of
grades as of registered stock, but
many owners of grade cattle seem to
have overlooked it. All dairy breeds

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

It has always seemed to me that DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when a list of Americas
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to a de-
gree that few realize Whenever he found
remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at a small
price: He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name Of
each root and herb he used. And so TODAY
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most sue.
cessful remedies is known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar.
coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves
of aloe, root Of Jalap-things that Nature
grows in the ground. These Pellets are
safe because they move the bowels gently,
leaving no bad after-efects, as so many
pills do. Very often they make a person
who takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines of
hard, decayed and poisonous matter that
accumulates when one is costive. If you
are constipated, by all means go to your
druggist and get some of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be
the very thing your system requires to
make you well and happy
