Aching Joints In the fingers, toes, arms, and other parts of the body, are joints that are inflamed and swollen by rheumatism—that acid condition of the blood which affects the muscles also. Sufferers dread to move, especially after sitting or lying long, and their condition is commonly worse in wet weather. 7 “It has been a long time since we have been without Hood’s Sarsaparilla. My father thinks he could not do without It. He has been troubled with rheumatism since he was a boy, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the only medicine be can take that will enable him to take his place in the field." Miss Ada Doty, Sidney, lowa.

It is not likely that a truant officer will be elected at the present time to succeed Philip Blue. The law makes no provision for filling a vacancy and as a bill has been introduced in the legislature abolishing this office the matter of appointing a new truant officer will be allowed to rest for the present. Simple methods of removing soot are being repeated by the newspapers for the benefit of those who, used to hard coal, have been shoveling soft coal into stoves and furnaces this winter. The burning of a piece of zinc the size of one’s hand will, it is said, cause the soot to disappear as if by magic. You will save many doctor bills by keeping Bailey’s Laxative Tablets on hand and taking them freely for constipation, biliousness, liver troubles, fever and indigestion.

The crowned heads of every nation, The rich men, poor men and misers All join in paying tribute to DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. H.

The ice harvest is in full blast day and night at Cedar Lake, and the scene presents a pretty appearance at night when the lake is illuminated by the many electric lights which dot its surface. One sometimes wonders what some of the big chiefs of the Pottowatamie tribe would think of it if they could come back for about a week and see some of the carryings on about their favorite hunting grounds. —Crown Point Register. The Rensselaer Republican takes another fling at Congressman Crumpacker in this week’s issue, and incidentally calls the Republican postmaster editors in this district “Crump’s patient plodding asses of all work.’’ Of course this is “a little family affair” inside the Republican party with which democrats have nothing to do, but we can not help wondering if Bro. Marshall’s ears would not be patiently flapping in the same herd if he had succeeded in landing the Rensselaer postofflce plum.—Monticello Democrat.
