Real Estate to Sell \\ c don't ask for a listing. Our experience has taught us what a handicap it is to the owner to list his property with REAL ESTATE AGENTS on time contracts. When the property is listed and if the owner sells the property himself he must pay the commission to the agent. We only ask that you tell us where the property is located and how much you want for it. Our large list of clients enable us to dispose of it very quickly and you still have the privilege of selling it yourself without pay ing our office for our failure to sell. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SETTLE AN ESTATE WE WILL BUY ALL THE HOUSES IN YOUR CHARGE. NOTHING TOO LARGE FOR US TO HANDLE.

HOW TO "BE FIT" AT SIXTY BY Da USE HERBERT SMITH. #As our boys "came march ing home," they brought a cer tain red-blooded doctrine, and showed, us the glory of a perfect body. They will show us how to "keep fit," even if we have passed middle life and are be yond the athletic stage. For the tired business man, the man who feels the daily grind and the nightly fag, has meager appetite, headaches, nerves unstrung, is gloomy, ending in a soggy brain, try the right way. Get out of bed, open the window, breathe deeply, exer cise the army "setting-up" exercise or use dumb bells, until in a warm glow. Before breakfast take hot water, and occasionally castor oil or a pleasant laxative made up of May-apple, aloin, jalap, and sold by all druggists as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. As Prof. Strauss says, "The excretion of uric acid we are able to effect by exciting diuresis." Drink copiously of soft rain or distilled water, six or eight glasses per day, hot water before meals, and obtain Anuric Tablets, double strength, for [6O cts., at the nearest drug store and take them three times a day. If you want a trial package send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. "Anuric" (anti-uric-acid) is the recent discovery of Dr. Pierce and is much more potent than lithia, for it will dissolve uric acid as hot tea dissolves sugar.

With only enough steel expansion joints on hand to last a few days and no hope of getting more to place every 20 feet between the blocks of con crete, it looks as if the work would Ibe tied up indefinitely.
