Carried to all parts cf the body, this poison causes backaches, headaches, rheumatic pains, heaviness, drowsiness, dizziness, irritability or depression and distressing bladder troubles. But that isn’t the worst of it In chronic neglected cases, the excess uric acid is apt to form into gravel or kid ney stones, and to cause gout, sciatica, dropsy ar,d even Bright’s disease. Let the first pain in the back be your warning. Get a bottle of Dr. Pierce's new An-uric tablets (anti-uric-acid)*. Your druggist can tell you about this new discovery .for bad kidneys. Or, send 10c for a trial package to Dr. Pierce, Pres., Invalids* Hotel, Buffalo, N.

I suffered a great deal of pain in my back and sides. My limbs would cramp. I didn’t feel like doing my work, and there are so many steps for a woman to take on a farm. I was very anxious to get better. A friend rec ommended The Woman’s Ton!: to me and I began using it. I certainly Improved. I went through change of life with out any trouble. I can highly recommend Cardui.” At the age of about 40 to 60 every woman Iras to pass through a critical time, which is called the Change of Life. At this time, great changes take place in her system, causing various painful and disagreeable symptoms.

Ba'.-lt?y “we hove Mims o- the fine traks of all of these noble w.:.‘ In closing the intfoMuction he declared Mr. Dailey has roi :o enemies because “he stand.-; for civil rightoo ness. and is a . strong rugged fighter for the inter e tr of th 1 pt >ple.” Mr. Bailey ir.U'AUif' d his subject • »f “Progrj. s"> by elliirg attention to the wonderful matiial advancement that the state has pads in education, good roads, building and industry. We recognize a spirit that has not ; been hero- before—a spirit of going somewhere. Said Mr. Bailey in part: "i am not an idealist. I believe in the capacity to work, earn, save, own homes. When we start out our boy or girl to make money,, does that consti tute progress? If he builds mansions or big industrial plants, has he made any more progress than the poorest ‘man of the community? Is he a better citizen, a better neighbor or worth any more to the human race because he has succeeded in making his mil lions? Is money the means or the measure of human progress? No. They are not the evidences of .pro gress.” Then ML*. Bailey went on to prove | that material advancement- rr not the real progress that count3. We stand at the end of 150 years of the most wonderful progress an individual car conceive of. He recalled the inven tions of electricity, the improvement of the methods and means of travel, the change in the kind of weapons of warfare and the marvelous radio, all of which show that we have conic in to possession of a marvelous series of physical powers. We look at these and wonder and boast, but do they all to the elevation of our soul or the on ward march of man’s spiritual des tiny? Are we going to measure man by his material development? Has Mrs. McCormick whose husband in vented the reaper, registered any ma terial progress over Ruth in the fields of Boaz with her hand sickle? lias Henry Ford with his millions and his great industrial plants registered any progress by reason of bis imnrovml method of travel ov:r Abraham and bis camel? The real progress' is hu man improvement-—the ennobling- of one’s spirit, a higher hope, a finer character, a fuller life. I am deeply interested that- the young- people are not deluded to follow after the mater ial things to the neglect of the Worth while thing. Tt ea, 1 am praying that you put more emphasis on hunian character. When a girl b sweeter than her mother and a boy is nobler than his father, that’s the real pro gress in which I am interested. We are proud of our great government Ire cause it is founded on the right prin ciples. We have the finest buildings and most magnificent array of bu reaus, but the things which mark for strength and greatness are character, justice and righteousness. I am afraid the basis of our progress has been left out when we see things slip down hill on oil like it did six weeks ago in Washington. A democracy which is founded on self-interest can not sur vive. You’ve got to imbue the hoys and, girls with a spirit of service. You can’t find anything that will purify politics and bring a spirit of service without the.cross of Jesus. Nothing but Christian character, therefore, can hold the world together because real progress is toward God.” Hoping not to he ur.dcrtsood that he is a pessimist., Mr. Bailey again ex pressed joy at the material progress that individuals, society and govern ment are making, but admonished nis 1 oarers that the only progress that is advancement of a worth while nature, is soul progress”.
