Thought Her Aching Back Would Break Endured Agony from Kidneys and Stomach. Found Quick Relief. People who suffer from back-ache and kidney pains, know how wonderful’it felt to Mrs. Albert Krahn, 21J W. Grove St., Kendallville, Ind., to be rid of this agonizing trouble after so many years. Mrs. Krahn says: “For 25 years I had a dtfadful pain in the center of my back. At times it wasr so sharp and cutting that my back seemed about to break. I was told it came from my kidneys, as they were weak and made me get up several times at night. I also suffered severely with headaches and constipation. I .tried a great many remedies but none seemed to bring lasting relief. But Viuna was different. After taking only one bottle, my back stopped torturing mq, and it never pains me any more. My kidneys are better, too, and my sleep is not disturbed. The constipation is relieved and my headacheshavestopped. I feel so greatly improved that 1 find pleasure in my work, instead of having to drag myself around. I know from experience that Viuna is a wonderful medicine, and 1 am glad to recommend it to sick folks.” Viuna nets promptly on sluggish bowels, lazv liver and weak kidneya. It purines the blood. Hears the skin, restores uppetitrand digest ion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body, lake a bottle on trial.

POSTAL RATES ARE CHANCED Indianapolis, July 2 — The picture postcard may come back into ils own as a result of reductions in postal lates which became effective Sunday July 1. postal authorities here believe. After that date the cards again may be sent foi one-eent postage. Less confusion is expected to result from the change this year than resulted three years ago, when the postage on private cards suddenly was boosted from one to two cents. Then, it was recalled, two and sometimes three clerks at the Indianapolis postoffiee were kept busy putting the additional; cent on postcards mailed with insufficient stamps to carry them. Would Be Clear Gain The superintendent of mails here indicated that only a trial of the new schedule could tell whether total postal receipts at Indiana postoffices will 1 be increased or decreased. More exten-| sive use of private postcards, however, will be a dear gain, as the class of mail lias nearly disappeared. Mailers of second-class matter, such as advertising letters, broadsides or foulders. probably will reap one ot the greatest benefits from (he rate reductions. Large printing firms especially are said to bo welcoming the new rates. One Indianapolis company, it was related, has circularized its customers advis’ng them of the new rates in an effort to increase use of direct mail advertising. - Is expected to result from theiinusa Increased use of registered mail is 1 expected to result from the regulation 3 providing a maximum indemnity of i'
