Those who suffer from thematism as well as it is the most painful of diseases, indeed if on are a victim of it's torture we can probably testify, as to it's agonizing pains. Blematism is directly attributed to great quantities of nitric acid in the blood, this acid being caused by various dietetic and hygienic errors is found in the blood of nearly everyone who follows our modern dietary. Urea acid circulates in the blood and it's minute crystals have a tendency to gather in the joints, this crystallization or gathering causing enlarged joints, various deformities, stiffness and great pain. It makes the skin dry, harsh and yellow and hastens old age. Exposure to cold, wet feet, etc., nearly always bring on an attack. Many people suffer for years, few realize how easily rheumatism can be cured, due largely to the fact that medical authorities differ widely as to what constitutes the correct treatment. The best treatment is the use of a good local application to reduce the swelling and relieve the pain and internal remedies to purify the blood and free the system of uric acid. Snake Oil Liniment, extremely penetrating and soothing meets every requirement for local treatment, while Snake Root Tablets are the perfect tonic and blood purifier Snake 0.1 Liniment. Is a combination of Stake Oil and other valuable remedies. Stake Oil from which it gets it's name has long been prized because of its penetrating qualities and is powerful to impart an elasticity to the skin tissue. Rattle Stake Oil is extremely valuable and is most used although Mr. Carwfell obtains many cobras and boa constrictors from the snake towns of Australia where they are used for exhibition purposes and for the value of the skin and virus. It is of people will testify as to its value in the treatment of the new snakes, bruises, most lites, etc., penetrating to the seat of pain giving instant relief. lubricating the joints, polishing the skinning and preventing knotty deformities. Compound Snake Root Tablets Are a combination of purely vegetable remedies made after the formula of an old Doctor, who was noted for his ability to quickly cure rheumatism. Alous, one of the ingredients, is known to the medical profession as one of the best mild laxatives; Cascara, another, acts as a tonic to the bowel muscles and Podophyllin is the best liver stimulant known, far superior to Calomel, while Snake Root is a mild tonic to the nerves and kidneys and the enemy of uric acid. These and a number of other equally valuable ingredients make these Tablets never failing. By acting on the liver, kidney and bowels they purify the blood, freeing it of uric acids and other poisons. Too often people resort to the use of mercury, salicylates and other strong medicines which not only ruin the stomach, but add another poison to the blood. Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Constipation Are closely associated maladies, which are almost universal, there ebing few people who are not constipated at times, even if they are able to escape Indigestion and Dyspepsia. Many times when the doctors pronounce a death due to heart-failure, it is in reality due to an attack of Acute Indigestion. Those who have suffered with Heart-Burn will little wonder that the heart stops beating when subjected to the more severe strain of an attack of Acute Indigestion. Do not subject yourself to an attack of heart failure when the digestive organism is upset or run down; one Snake the stomach and soon corrects the trouble. Root Tablet taken before each meal tones Do you realize what Constipation means? Do you know that it causes the retention of poisonous waste matter in the system—poisoning the blood and making us susceptible to all diseases. Medical authorities even state that nearly all disease can be traced to this poisoning by Constipation. Kaliithrix Parlor Hair Goods, Combs and Toilet Articles. MRS. M. L. FIELD. 917 Kansas Ave..

It does not make any difference whether he proved upon his homestead entry or simply left it. There were thousands of old soldiers who went to Kansas and Nebraska after the war and took up 80 acre homesteads and when the grasshoppers and hot winds came along simply left their entries and went back east. Each of these men claims. Under a Supreme Court decision these claims are assignable. R. H Peale, Judge building, Salt Lake City, Utah, perfects th title to these claims and will pay the highest market price for same. If the soldier is dead the widow or heirs can sell this right. If a soldier never made an entry he has nothing to sell. If You Saw Movey Laying on the Ground Would You Pick it Up? Of course you would.

All are invite to attend. FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1909 Hon. Dan R. Anthony, the brilliant young congressman of the First district has sent out letters asking the condition of things and what the people think of him and what of his promises made and kept. The Hon. Thomas A. M'Neal, "a smelling around carol late" received one of the letters, and proceeded to answer it in his unique way by referring to the editor of this paper as being the only one he had heard of that expressed himself as leaning toward Mr. Anthony and that he had better see us quick for there were doubts as to our standing hitched. We wish to state for Bro. Tom's benefit that we have never made a living out of politics and never depended on the game for a livlihood nor did we ever hold or nose around after a political job. On the other hand our friend M'Neal has been whining for the political teat every since he spoiled his first row of corn down in Medicine Lodge, then he sought the political arena where he has been a continual hanger-on for political preferment. He has hugged and kissed the feet of the fleeting politicians of Kansas to help him to a job, and by persuasion Gov. Hoch accepted him for private secretary, later appointing him state printer. After completing his term of office, the people took pity on him and elected to the place which he now holds. Mr. M'Neal measures us by his own standard when he says the way for Anthony to hold the writer is to see him quick. "Fabel" Tom has been secured quick, early and late and not a man who stood by him in Shawnee county can ever say he stood loyal or kept faith with his friends. He always played the roll of the boy who had the choice to pick: He seized the largest piece not carr n, by the brand was. He has done an acrobatic just in the ranks of all the factions of Kansas Republcans, and when there is nothing doing in the b line quickly flops to an ever crowd As to being for Anthony, we can now store of prominent Republicans in Shropshire and out for him. On a hard week only, four Pop. and Power talking M Neal and their vigor any difference in opinion. Some say that he is not man the counsellor and they could have a show to et their man. Others say they owe it to him as he has been playing hide and seek for years with them, and has drifted around until now he represents their ideas. If Dan Anthony fails to carry Shawnee county over M'Neal in 1910 it will be because the voters are paralized and unable to get to the polls. What could M'Neal do in congress that Mr. Anthony has not already done unless it be to join the Demoerats and bolters to defeat honest, helpful legislation. He is against the government holding the Philippines after spending millions of dollars and the sacrifice of thousands of lives. This was Bryan's platform eight years ago, but M'Neal was using different pair of glasses. He was an enthusiastic expansionists, declaring many times that he would be proud to see the American flag encircle the globe. So if he proposes to take up where Mr. Bryan left off he will have to march under that banner for Kansas sacrificed too many of her loyal sons to ever dream of pulling up stakes and deserting our new possessions. I KANE P. MACLENSAN, editor of the Topeka State Journal is the correct size to fill Governor Stubos's place. Kansas cannot better display her wisdom than by drafting him. Let us all get a shoulder to the wheel and give Kansas one big boost by electing "Mac" governor. The state would advance twenty years. The attention of the railroad commissioners has been called to the fact that roads running into Oklahoma place Jim Crow signs on the cars before crossing the Kansas line. It is not the spirit of Kansas to treat the Negro thus and white citizens are strenuously objecting to humiliating him in any such manner, and the commissioners are losing no time in taking the matter up with the railroad companies. The Hon Mark Tully, the present state treasurer, has made good to the people of the great state of Kansas. Now is the time for the people to make good with him. He has not made any money out of the office for the salary was too low. The legislature raised it since he has been in office. Now it is the duty of the people to retain him until he can play even. His many friends are urging him to enter the race again. We understand that he has the master under consideration. If he runs the opposition may as well quit, as he is a trotter. Every day we him and every hour Royal War at Rome, G., Rome, Ga., Aug. 2—Fall, two days from the exegetate and war between the whites and blacks in Rome, the mid-town. Far away there is reported to be to re-quoting down, with not there are any apprehensions of a riot. On the races of arriving years go and but there is a board of whites is making a search for members of the Negroes on present the present son, Harper Wright, went away on only a day night returned at the head of it, en route to and way and assaulted Harper Wright a short distance from his father's store. An armed peace captured Garvin Perklis, a cousin of the two Negro. Leaders of the mob Cooler heads prevailed on the mob to allow Garvin Perkins to be sent to jail and he was taken to the county seat, C'enter, Ala. The Negro women as well as most of the men have quit work and this morning there was a threatening situation. The Negroes were finally driven to their homes after an attempt at assembling." When the races begin doing like this, then something will be doing. Only keep it up; cowards are not wanted in our band OFFICIAL CALL WESTERN NE GRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Des Moines, Ia., June 30th, 1909.
