Helping Kidneys
By Clearing Blood
A Function Greatly Assisted
By a Well-Known
Remeff,
Most readers will be Interested to more

E0 , 1 5 Qp ?r ta “ t ,- !n the use of S. S. S. to
Purify the blood, its action is a stimulant
to the myriad of fine blood vessels tbat
make up the constructive tissues of the
kidneys. Ail the blood from all over the
body must pass through the kidneys. They
act as testers and assayers. And according
to what they allow to pass out fir the urine,
both as to quantity and materials, the
health of the kidneys and the quality of the
blood is determined. The catalytic energy
forced by S. S. S. Is shown In the urine.
It is also demonstrated in the skin. And
as the blood continues to sweep through
the kidneys the dominating nature of
S. S, S., acting as it does through all the
avenues of elimination, shows a marked
decrease of disease manifestations as dem
onstrated by urine analysis. This assist
ance is a great relief to the kidneys. The
body wastes are more evenly distributed to
the emnnetories; their elimination is stim
ulated by the tonic action afforded the
liver, lungs, skin and kidneys. Thus, in
cases of rheumatism, cystitis, chronic sore
throat, huskiness of voice, bronchitis, asth
ma and the myriad of other reflex indica
tions of weak kidney action, first purify
your blood with S. S. S., so it will enable
the tissues to rebuild the cellular strength
and regain the normal health.
S.-S. S. is prepared by The Swift Specific
Co., 527 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., and if
you have any deep-seated or obstinate blood
trouble, write to their Medical Dept, for
free advice.

News has been coming fast and furi
ous here for the last fortnight. The
Pope is (lead, and so is The Appeal to
Reason. Paris is sore at Berlin, Japan
is sassy, * ‘ The Menace ’ ’ is still cover
ing the country with undisguised rot
and grafting money from the ignorant.
Bombs and guns are exploding in
Belgium, and the price of navy beans
has gone up in Ameriky.
Socialistic ignoramuses are electing
jack-leg nonentities to legislate against
monied concerns, and this puts a quie
tus on the payrolls, which eventually
will send the country to the eternal
bow-wows.
Soon be time now for heavy union-
suits, minstrel shows and wool socks
and county fairs.
I will endeavor now to give you what
little news there is in Buzzardville and
the nearby settlements and deestriets.
Miss Rattler Huggins has acquired
the morphine habit and goes lagging
about continually picking her nose. She
is forty-five years of age and has no
man.
Miss Whizzie Bing,, of ' Musket
Ridge, is the unwelcome guest of Miss
Ketchy Opentrop. She wears green
sox, short skirt and tips forward
slightly. She has her finger nails
manicured to a keen point, and they
are not unlike cat claws.
Tobe Botts whipped his wife Friday,

Jodie Suxx has a very bad case of
catarrh, and you don’t have to ask him

Miss Frony Hellwanger is handing
Adam Kuckle the icy stare. Seems as
though Adam has been making goo
goo’s at the new widow at the boarding
house.
Sammy Funk was plowing a very
slow horse the other day and was a bit
aggravated when he slapped the critter
on the ribs with the plow-line, exclaim
ing, in accents rather harsh, ‘ ‘ Giddap,
confound your onnery picters! We are
going to fijiish this patch by noon if it
takes till night to do it.”
The blowout at old lady Highhead’s
last week was the same old severi**and
six—cheap talcum, a little gob of ice
cream, a ten-cent box of cakes, a card
game and about three inches in the
weekly bladder. All are happy as the
devil, though, and the good old world
wags on as usual.
Thaddie Hoskins was caught in the
gin at Musket Ridge Saturday and was
horribly hurt. His brother was caught
in a lie here about two weeks ago
while before the upright grand jury.
Both are brothers.
Puss Irvin, of Piney Flats, is ped
dling bath powders now. He is a mem
ber of the N. B. P. (national brother
hood of peddlers).
Archibald Hudson, a brother of
Briggsy, says they are going to make
the Ford cars about two feet narrower
so they can drive them on the side
walks and thereby keep out of the way
of automobiles.

don’t change there will be a row.
Sim Bonehead, of Mutton Hollow,
was perambulating on the boulevards
here last Saturday. As it happened
there, was not a policeman in sight.

Miss Rena Whang, of Staplehurst, is

leave out one e in heel and pat in-an

Little Tyler Chooney has had his
pants half-soled and is as sassy as

Rack Bingoe’s little nephew Ham-
brie is taking vermifuge now and the
doctor says he will soon be stout and
hearty again. It was a kind of a
green-apple case.
The author of “A Book of Letters,”
Mr. Rawey Peeruny, of Musket Ridge,
was a pleasant caller at the office of
the Buzzardville Bladder the other day.
He says the way Musket Ridge is
building and growing is a holy sight. ■
In the last six years they have built
a box around the town well, put in one
pool room, one hamburger joint and a
shooting-gallery. This is going some
for a town that is only forty-eight
years old. He says he is selling stacks
of his books—some people buying them
that do not particularly love him; but
they want the laughs that go with the
two hundred pages. He says further
that the European war has cut no ice
with the price of the book—it is still
selling for one measley bean.
It is with profound regret that we
chronicle the death of our steamed
citizen, Isaac Hellwanger, who moved
here recently from the Ridge. Mr.
Hellwanger was found frozen to death
near the Bucktown still house on
Thursday night, August the twenty-
ninth. He was a good father and
mother and could hide more corn Iicker
than any man in the to%m-ship. He
will be missed by his many friends
throughout this section and especially
at the stillhouse. He never regained
consciousness after his death, and died
with one eye about half-cocked. He
had no relatives except his kinsfolk and
they are in a measure related to him.
The body will be buried in the custo
mary fashion by the members of the
