SHARP “Results Os Taking Retonga Have Been Remarkable," Says South Bend Lady - ■ “The results of taking Retonga have been remarkable in both my feelings and looks," is the enthusiastic way in which Mrs. Laura Sharp, 530 North St. Louis Boulevard, South Bend, tells how this remarkable new preparation benefited her. fl a wfluy MRS. LAURA SHARP. “I blame my health troubles on stomach and kidney disorders that put my system in a bad condition generally,” said Mrs. Sharp. “After meals it seemed like my stomach would just boil from food fermentation, and so much gas would form it would almost cut Tny breath off. My kidneys must not have eliminated the poisons from my system because my skin was not clear, and I had such awful pains in the joints of my arms and legs sometimes I felt like screaming. My back felt like it would break in two, and I had nagging headaches that were terrible. My circulation was poor and I suffered with chills, and cold feet, and all the winter I was just full of colds. “The results of my taking Retonga have been remarkable. My complexion is clear, the pains are gone from my arms and legs, and I am free from those terrible nagging headaches, and backaches. My appetite is fine and I am able to eat without having acid stomach, gas pains, or shortness of breath. _I am not bothered with chills and cold feet and more, either. lam glad to tell of my experience with Retonfea for the benefit of other women who may be suffering like I was." Retonga may be obtained at the Thornburg Drug Co., Syracuse. LOCAL LINES Forest Ringler and family of Milford called on Noble Ringler.

TAKE COWBOYS OFF HORSES; USE CARS Range Riders to Be Stripped of Romantic Garb. Washington.—Secretary of Interior Ickes has sung the “swansong” for the picturesque cowboys who ride the western range for Uncle Sam. Automobiles, he announced, will replace horses as the range riders' mounts this spring. His announcement put it this way: “When the federal range riders swing into action this spring the patter of horses* feet will be supplemented by the putter of motorcars.” The chaps, the spurs, the bandanna and the wide sombrero—accoutrements of the cowboys famed in song and story—will be laid away among the moth balls, relics of a by-gone day. The cow-boy, as he was known when cowmen were building the West, soon may join the Indian scout of Kit Carson’s day in history. About the only places left him now in his typical attire are the dude ranches and Hollywood movie lots. In motorizing his cowhands, Ickes will be following the example set by modern “cattle rustlers,” who 'have turned to trucks and automobiles to raid ranchers* herds and speed stolen cattle to market. “Increased economy in patrolling and surveying wide areas, some with roads and some without, will be attained by providing the range rider with gas-burning instead of hay-burning transportation,” Ickes said. The horse, however, will not completely pass out of the picture. Ickes conceded there are places a horse can go where an automobile can’t. “So,” he said, “when the range rider hits the trail this spring in his automobile his favorite horse will enjoy the scenery from a trailer.” When the ranger has driven his automobile to the end of the road he will mount his horse to push on into the badlands. This, Ickes said, will insure greater efficiency in the riding of 120,000,000 acres of federal range land upon which 9,000,000 cattle, sheep, horses and goats graze. The range riders are the “G-men” of the great open spaces. They supervise brandings, are present to settle disputes and hunt down hustlers. Many of them are old cowpunchers. Girl Reared as Barefoot Scorns Shoes in College Minneapolis.—lngrid Larsen, a Hawaiian at heart despite her Norwegian name, received a “holoko” which she prizes as suitable trimmings for her barefoot habit while at home in the Delta Delta Delta sorority at the University of Minnesota. A “holoko” is the dress she became accustomed to when she lived in the Hawaiian islands as a child. Miss Larsen is nineteen and a commercial art student at the university. She was born and passed the first dozen or so years of her life on one of the smaller of the island group. She grew up like other girls on. the island and never learned to wear shoes. In fact, she never donned a pair of shoes until she was twelve and her parents moved to Honolulu. She never has learned to like them. The girls in the sorority house were shocked when Ingrid came down to a formal dinner dressed in the “holoko” and without shoes. “I don’t care what any one says,” Miss Larsen explained. “I’ll be nice and wear shoes out of doors while I’m in polite society. But when I get indoors, off they come.” Clock Stops When Pastor Tenders His Resignation Toronto, Ont.—When Rev. W. J. Smith, pastor of Bathhurst United church, tendered his resignation, a 66-year-old clock stopped ticking and did not start again until nine years later, when he paid a brief visit to his former pulpit. When the pastor left, all efforts to start the clock proved futile, and the ancient timepiece was relegated to the minister’s vestry as a historic relic. That was in 1925. When Smith entered the vestry in 1934 the familiar ticktock of the clock was heard, to the amazement of the sexton, and continued after he left. It still keeps time. The clock was presented to the church by Benjamin (Old King) Cole, a negro church member and a former slave. Ringers in Three Suburbs Cleveland.—A horseshoe-pitching court in the yard of Louis D.
