Their Decatur friends will be pleased to hear that they are nicely located there and like their home .very much. I —. Our cousin. Edith, is an invalid. She gets along well until about time for her husband to come home, and then she becomes too weak and dizzy to take a stej). But she has lots of nerve, and she will pull herself up. hold to chairs and the wall, and make her way into the kite hen. She knows that he must have something to eat. and no matter how miserable she feels, she will prepare supper for him. Cousin Edith has an idea that her husband wouldn’t love her if he should come home some night and find her feeling perfectly well. She thinks she will lose him unless she keeps him sympathizing with her. As a matter of fact, she is stronger than he is. ami in better health, and she could whip him in a mere fist fight. We have another cousin who always has a smile on her face, when her husband reaches home, and she teils him she is feeling better. This cousin is sick. —Claude Cullan in Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.

HAVE YOU BACKACHE, GOUT, RHEUMATISM? (By M Lucas, M. D.) American men and women should I guard constantly against kidney troubl". because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidnoy trouble, bladder weakness and often the poisbM reaches the tissues, causing rheumatism and gout. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when your hack hurls or the urine is cloudy, fnll of sedgffent, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night, when you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, ask your drnggiKt for Anuric (double strength). I have found in practice that Anuric ; is more potent than lithia and in most cases it will dissolve the uric ■ as hot water does sugar. 1 Most people do neglect themselves. ; Their tongue has a dark brown color, I skin sallow, breath bad. yet they fail - to see that their machinery needs attention. Everybody should take a ■. mild laxative at least once a week. r A pleasant way to eclar the tongue I and the highly colored water noticed t in the morning is to take a laxative which will cure the inactive liver and biliousness. A pleasant vegetable pill is made . up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, and jalap, made into a tiny pellet and toated with sugar. First put up byDr. Pierce nearly jo years ago. :iri-gg-j-ts sill these vegetable pel ) lets in vials, simply ask for Dr. ; Pierce s Pleasant Pellets. —Advt.
