stricken out of the appropriation for !
the auditor's office. The motion car- !
ried. Another motion was made placing 1
the ordinance on its second and third.

action of counc.il in striking the $240 ;
from the auditor's appropriation was

ach-ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give >
a teaspoonfui of "California Syrup of ,
Figs," and in a few hours all the foul j
waste, the sc\ur bile and fermening I
food passes out of the bowels and you I
have a well and playful child again, j
Children love this harmless "fruit lax- ;
atire," and mothers can rest easy af- '
te r giving it because it never fails to j
make their little "insides" clean and !
sweet. i
Keep it handy. Mother! A little gtv- !

but get the genuine. Ask your drug- 1
gist for a 50-cent bottle of "California ,
Syrup of Figs," which has directions 1

DRINKET
The Childreiiz Beverage
MADE IN THE CUP ..
CHILDREN live in the Happy Land of
Make-Believe. So when they say
they're " 'most old enough to drink
coffee," give them "coffee-looking" Drinket
Children like its delicious, coffee-like fla
vor ? and Drinket is kind to them, because
of its food value and high proportion of
body -building salts.
The Director in charge of food analytic of the medical school of
one of America's greatest Universities, who made the analysis of
Drinket, writes as follows:
"All of the mineral salts required for body growth are present in
Drinket, and looking at the matter purely from the standpoint of its
mineral content, I can safely say "Drinket" would be a valuable
addition to the diet of all, but especially for the growing child."

"NO RESTLESSNESS OR BACKACHE TO-NIGHT!"
Kidney , Bladder and Uric Acid Troubles Bring
Misery To Many ?
When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not
cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the '
body. There follow Depression, Aches and ' Pains, Heaviness, Drowsiness,
Irritation, Headaches, Chilliness, Rheu
matism, Backache and Dropsy. The
uric acid sometimes forms into gravel
or kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the muscles and joints, it causes
lumbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica.
This is the time to try "Anuric."
During digestion uric acid is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired atod backache begins.
This is a good fc&ie to take "Anuric,'1
the new discovery of, Doctor Pierce for
Kidney disturbances.
"Anuric" maybe obtained right here
in. town today, as Doctor Pierce has arranged.. .with the local druggists for its
distribution. It's surprising that so many of us never suspect our kidneys even
when they give a fair warning that something is wrong. Like all filters they
v become clogged most frequently. A fifty-cent package of "Anuric," however;
will give renewed life. Send 10 cents for large trial package, or write symptoms
aft{3 send sample of urine to Doctor Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
