Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism Many times
this terrible disease left him HELPLESS
and unable to work
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac.
cumulated impurities, commonly call.
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fl
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
TIE freely gave his discovery to 9TH
ers who took it, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers A. G. Luken
& Co, 3 Quigley's Drug Stores and
Yes and Now Drug Co. and Dafler
Drug Co., have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity, with the
understanding that they will freely re.
turn the purchase money on the first
two bottles to all who state they re-
ceived no benefit.-Advertise

DARKEN

Sulphur Recipe and No.
body Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. By morning
the gray hair all disappears, and af-
ter another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy

Ripping Rhymes
ROSES AND ROCKS.
BY Wait Mason

Our idol stands before us, and does
some merry tricks, and we applaud in
chorus this prince of joyous hicks. We
watch his every antic, we laugh until
we weep, our glee is almost frantic,
our admiration deep. We say. "Oh,
was there ever so comical a gent? y
guy SO wenderous clever at spreading
meTriment? We certainly adore him,
he gladdens all our days, and if it
wouldn't bore him, our college yell
we'd raise" But, 10, he pulled a
blunder-perhaps 1t was crime-and
now we're trampling under the chap
we called sublime. We have no
thought of mercy as we apply the gait
to that form, fat and pursy, at which
we used to laugh In highly moral
dungeon, we knock him from his feet,
and call for axe and bludgeon to make
the job complete. No doubt we've
done some evil, we truly moral guys;
cur records full of weevil we do not
advertise. Oh, poor old human ma
tuIe, it always is the same; no court
or legislature can change its foolish
game. We worship some one madly
until he makes break, then, morally
and sadly we burn him at the stake.
The more Ne used to love him when
he was in his bloom. the fiercer do
we shove him and kick him to his
deem.

Help the Day Nursery

No institution that does not serve good
purpose can long survive. 1t languishes from
within and presently disappears.
If the Day Nursery did not perform a real
service to the community it would have been
forced to close its doors long ago, and today it
would only be another proof of the futility of
trying to maintain an institution for which there
is no need.
The Day Nursery is one of those benevolent
institutions which really performs practical
function. To it come the children of mothers
who are forced to make their own living or to
help support their families.
That the institution is patronized extensively
is attested to by the attendance figures of the
last fiscal year, which show that 4O81 children
were present on the 3O6 days on which the nur-
sery was open for their reception. The average
daily attendance was 13, and 68 families were
represented.
During the hours in which the mothers are
working, their children carefully taken care
of in the Day Nursery. This institution, in this
field alone, serves two purposes It enables
mothers, whose children are too young to be left
by themselves, to place them in an institution,
and it surrounds these dependents with the
proper kind of environment.
Many mother who has to work could not
accept employment unless she knew where she
could place her children during the hours of en-
ployment. She could not reasonably expect her
neighbors to do it. neither could she leave an
infant or a small child at home unattended dur
ing the working hours. The Day Nursery invites
the mothers to bring their children to the insti-
tuition, which is prepared to meet this emer-
gency and to help both the mother and the child
