Then 1 got to taking your Black-
Draught, and I hud not taken one full

the constipation. I took two or three
packages, and it has cured me, and I
praise It to all of my friends.”

Defeat Backache and Kidney
Trouble With Anuric
Many people In this section have »uffer-
ed from rheumatism and kidney trouble
and have found that Anuric was the most
successful remedy to overcome these
painful and dangerous aliments.
The luclcy people are those who have
suffered, but who are now well because
they heeded nature’s warning signal m
time to correct their trouble with that
wonderful new discovery of Dr. Pierce a
called "An-u-rlc” (double strength). You
should promptly heed these warnings,
some of which are dizzy spells, backache.
Irregularity of the urine or the painful
twinges of rheumatism, sciatica or lum-
bago. To delay may make possible the
dangerous forms of kidney disease, such
as stone In the bladder. If you want
quick relief buy Anuric now (60c a pack-
age)-or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pkg.
This will prove that "Anuric” eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

Okmulgee, Okla.—"I had no strength
at all, sometimes I couldn’t dress my-
self and at times I would have smother-
ing spells. My face would be hot and
ray feet and hands cold, and my heart
would beat fast and hard. We had
two of the best doctors we could get;
they said it was shattered nerves.
They said they couldn’t do me any
good, though every time I would have
one of those nervous spells I wanted
a doctor; It seemed to.me that they
could help me if they would, but they
said they couldn’t, so one day I de-
cided to write to Dr. Pierce for ad-
vice. He wrote back stating that If I
would follow his advice he didn’t see
why I couldn’t be restored to health in
a short time. I commenced using the

First Christmas Celebration.
The birth of Christ was not original-
ly observed at this time of the year.
It was not until nearly 100 years after
his death that there was any attempt
at a celebration of the event at all. ,
add then for 300 years or more It was
celebrated at various times In the year
by the Christians in different parts of
the world. Some chose the 1st and
some the 6th of January, others the
29th of March, the time of the Jewish
passover, while still others observed
the day on the 29th of September, the
feast of the tabernacles. The 19th of
April and the 20th of May were also
kept as the birthday of Christ By
the fifth century, however the 25th of
December was the day generally adopt-
ed.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Cost of Feeding Nippon’s Soldiers.
It costs about 43 sen a day (about
22 cents) to feed a private in Japan’s
Second imperial body guard regiment,
according to an officer quoted in Yom-
iurl, a venaculnr paper. Of this, 15
sen goes for a quart of rice and bar-
ley (30 per cent barley) and 18 sen
for meat and vegetables. The sura is
not as small ns It seems, as everything
Is one-thlrd under market price when
bought for the army. For breakfast,
In addition to the cereal, bean soup is
served, and for lunch and supper the
menu includes vegetables and fish or
meat. Cooking and distribution Is
carefully done by a staff of 20 men, In-
cluding three lieutenant^ three ser-
geants and 14 privates—or one cook
for every 90 men in a regiment of 1,-
800. Unused food Is sold to cheap
eating houses, the money thus gained
being spent for extra dishes on fes-
tive occasions.

You are too rich. Folks would say

It would be true."
