We didn’t realize how much we
had until we saw the “human fly ’
climb the court house tower, or rath
er try to climb it.
The “fly” says he didn’t finish
the climb because of the depreciat
ed condition of the tower. We
think the high climber reaalized
that collections were coming along
•slowly. The same rule regarding
the fooling of a horse fly applies
also to “human fly’s.”

publish. Murders, robberies, sui

court trials, and all masters of this
kind are given no place in its col

(Heart and Kidney
Diseases Caused
By Torpid Liver
Blood carries body poisons
through the system to
vital organs
To clear our systems of poison
toxions that taint the blood and break
down health, we must keep the liver
regulated. Medical science now
knows that the liver is our most im
portant organ because it destroys
the body poisons that cause diseases
of the heart, kidneys, blood vessels,
create high blood pressure and pre
mature.old age.
When the liver becomes torpid,
these poisons, instead of being de
stroyed, are carried through the sys
tem by the blood. Then Nature
gives quick warnings. You have
sudden sick headaches, dizzy spells
and nausea. If your stomach is acid
from sour bile and your skin becomes
sallow or blotchy, you may know
poisons are in your blood.
The liver cannot be regulated By
drugs, but there is a safe Nature
substance which will act directly on
the liver. The discovery is purified
ox gall.
Get from your druggist a package
of Didxol. Each tablet contains ten
drops of purified ox gall. In 24 hours
the poison, toxins, will be removed.
Your liver will be regulated. Blood
purification will begin. Sallow skin
will clear. You will feel so much’
better you will know you have found
the cause of your ill health. Dioxol
tablets ate harmless, tasteless and
cost less than two cents each.
These genuine ox gall tablets are
prepared only under the name
“Dioxoh" If any tablet is offered
you under another name, refuse it.
Accept only Dioxol in the original,
genuine package.
Dioxol is especially recommend

CLEVELAND, Dec. 15. —Eaby
Robert Burton was su'd f< r S4B be
fore he was born.
His parents, John and Phyllis
Burton, say they needed that sum to
pay for his arrival.
And they were willing to let tho
woman who advanced it to adopt
the child nine days after his birth.
They could not afford to keep
the little fellow, they said. The fath
er had lost his job as a grocer’s
clerk, and it was hard enough for
them to care for their ocher two
children, one 3, the other 2.
The mater finally came to Judge
George S. Addams’ attention. A
witness at the parents' hearing tes
tified the Burtons wanted t':c mon
ey to pay on automobile. This both
denied.
“Why that isn’t true,” they insist
ed. “We waijt him. But we can’t
afford to keep him."
Nevertheless lift’d Robert, now
just two months old is back in their
home again, through a court order.
And the Burtons swear they’ll
fight to keep him there *
