BACKS A WARNING YOU SHOULD HEED It is One of the First Signs of Kidney Troubles, if Neglect ed, Serious Diseases Follow No one can be well and healthy tinless the kidneys work properly and 3<eep the blood pure. When they be come clogged up and inactive, nature has a way of warning you. Backache is one of the first symp toms. You may also be troubled with disagreeable, annoytng bladder disor ders; have attacks of lumbago or rheumatism; become nervous, tired, and feel all wornout; puffy swellings show under the eyes or in the feet and ankles; and many other symptoms are noticed. If they are neglected, dropsy, diabetes or Bright's disease, which so often prove fatal, may result. It is not only dangerous, but need- Jess, for you to suffer and endure the tortures of these troubles, for the new discovery, Croxone, quickly and surely ends all such misery. There is no more effective remedy known for the prompt cure of all such troubles than this new, scientific preparation, because it removes the cause. It soaks right into the kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the clogged-up pores; neutralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid and waste matter that lodge in the! joints and muscles and cause those i terrible rheumatic pains, and makes the kidneys filter and sift the poison out of the blood and drive it from the •system. Yon will find Croxone different from nil other remedies. There is nothing •else on earth like it. It is so prepared that it is practically impossible to take it into the human system without re sults. You can secure an original package of Croxone at trifling cost from any first-class drug store. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone should fail in a single case. Three doses a day for a few days is often all that is ever needed to cune the worst back ache, relieve rheumatic pains, or over come urinary disorders. Advertise . ment.

Home of Edward Beardsley, New York Farmer, Who Held Oft Posse For More Than a Week This is the home of Edward Beardsley, a New York State farmer, near Jamestown, who for more than a week held off the sheriff of the county and all the citizens he could arm. Beardsley was a character of the coun ty, who had nine children in his household, the mothers of whom were believed to be two sisters who lived in his house. After the shooting the overseer of the poor, who went to the house to remonstrate about the care given the children, Beardsley barricaded him self and announced he would not be taken alive. He had the children in view of the beseiging posse, so the members of it knew if they tried to take the home by assault they would likely kill or wound several of them. But a hotelkeeper, with whom Beardsley was acquainted, walked into the house and had a talk with the man, who kept him covered for hours. When Beardsley placed his weapons on a table the hotel man grasped the guns, and then very easily captured the outlaw, who was locked up in jail.

Treasurer Bailey Nets County $3lO in Deal in Bonds Dauphin county saved the nice lit tle sum of SBIO on a deal in county bonds that was negotiated bv County I Treasurer A. H. Bailey. A few days ago Graham and Company. Philadel phia, offered to sell some four SI,OOO bonds at ninety-nine. They wore three and a half per cent, interest bearing bonds, par SIOO, due in 1918. Mr. Bailey who got the letter wrote back and offered to redeem them on a live per cent, basis which would have meant at a price of ninety-four and a quarter. The same flrpi offered to buy tho bonds itself at ninety-seven but finally it agreed to close with the county treasurer at ninety-eight and a quarter. On this basis the county will save $17.50 on each bond or S7O on the four. In four years the interest would amount to $650 plus the S7O would mean a gross gain to the county of $630. Figuring however that the $4 - 000 at interest would not $320 at the two per cent, basis, the net gain would mean the difference between the two or $3lO. Mr. Bailey was directed to close the deal.
