II am eighty-three years old and l doctored
for rheumatism ever since l came out of the
army, over fifty years ago" writes j. B. Ashelman.
"Like many others, l spent money freely for
so-caled cures and have read about Uric Acid
until could almost taste it. l could not sleep
nights or walk without pain; my hands were SO
sore and stiff could not hold pen. But now,
as if by magic, am again in active business and
can walk with ease or write all day with comfort.
Friends are surprised at the change"
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr.. Ashelman is only one of thousands who suf-
fered for years. owing to the general belief in the
old, false theory that "Uric Acid" causes rheuma-
tlsm. This erroneous belief induced him and
legions Of unfortunate men and women to take
wrong treatments. You might just as well attempt
to put out fire with oil as try to get rid of your
rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints by taking
treatments supposed to drive Uric Acid out of
your blood and body. Many physicians and SCENT
lists now know that Uric Acid never did, never can
and never will cause rheumatism that i. is nat
ural and necessary constituent Of the blood that it
is found in every new born babe; and that without
it we could not live!
These statements may seem strange to some folks.
who all along have been led to believe in the old
"Uric Acid' humbug. 1t took Mr.. Ashelman fiftv
years to find this truth. He learned how to get rid
and recover his strength from 1.-THE Inner NV

QUOTATION

Tonight as sat ut my window
While the West was all agleam
With that strange and wonderful splendol
That is fleeing as dream,
/ thought that the hands of angels
Had flung heavens gateway wide,
And l caught some glimpse of the glory
From the hills on. the other side.-
Is it not comforting fancy,
This sunset thought of mine.
That always the gates of heaven
Swing open at DAYS decline
That those whose work is all ended
From our earthly woes and ills,
May pass to the peace and gladness
That crown the beautiful hills2"

LED BY A OUACK.

A tale of the extraordinary friendship
existing between gander and blind OK
on the farm of Braxton Holcroft, in the
southern end of the county, was publish
ed in Greensboro, Ala.
Each day, SO the story goes, a stately
gander, with his breast full of sympathy
and his head full of responsibility, leads
an aged and totally blind OK to a nearby
pond for water. The gander, walking just
in front, quacks now and then, in order
that the sightless OK may follow, and
when the pond is reached the gaDder
stands guard while his proteae drinks his
fill. When the OK has finished drinking
the gander leads him back to the field.

POISONED BY CYANIDE

The Nevada Supreme Court re-
Gently handed down q decision affirm
ing the district court Judgment of
$3.50 in favor OF the Williams Es-
tate Company as damages for IL head
Of cattle killed by drinking cyanide
solutions that had escaped from a
pond maintained by the Nevada Won
der Mining Company. Justice Duck
er. who wrote the main opinion,
maintained that the williams Com
pany employee. Caldwell. was not
negligent when he intercepted the
cattle headed for the pond. drove
them a half mile or more away and
left them. headed away from the
pond. while he rode into Wonder to
get his mail, but that he exercised the
diligence of an ordinarily prudent
man. The testimony of other wit
nesses showed that the cattle soon
returned after Caldwell left them and
drank the solution, which had es-
capped from the pond and flowed past
the fence. Justice Coleman, in a
short concurring opinion, agreed with
all that had been said by Justice
Quicker except with regard to the
