DRIVES RHEUMATIC PAINS AWAY Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen Joints and Muscles, Relieving Back ache and Bladder Disorders After Few Doses are Taken. This is what Croxone, the new scientific discovery, does for suf ferers of such troubles. It prompt ly relieves these diseases because it reaches the cause. It soaks right into the walls and linings of the kidneys and cleans out the stopped- up. inactive organs like water does a sponge—neutralizes, and dissolves every particle of uric acid and makes the kidneys sift from the blood all the waste matter and poi sons that lodge in the joints and muscles to scratch and Irritate and < ause rheumatism. It soothes and heals the delicate linings of the bladder and leaves the kidneys in a clean, strong, healthy condition, so they can filter the blood and keep you well. If you suffer with backache— have pains in the neck or* sides— nervous or dizzy spells—a few doses of Croxone will relieve the congestion and you will be surprised how quickly all kidney, bladder and rheumatic troubles will disappear. Croxone is different from all other remedies. It is so prepared that it is practically Impossible to take it into the human system without results. An original pack age of Croxone costs but a trifle, and all druggists are authorized to return the purchase price if Crox one should fail in a single case. PLATES Made and Delivered Same Day DR. E.G.

"I light a -fresh cigar every time 1 take a drink of whisky,” he said, as he declined a cigar proffered to him by Shiras. “And you know that I never smoked a cigar in my life “I am afraid that l am here strictly on business. 1 have been invited to speak to the high school and before several organizations, but I shall not be able to do so. I have also been in vited to attend ths performance of the Prince of Pilsen.’ Thursday even ing. on; of compliment, no doubt, to my old Dutch ancestry.

Gazette, stepped up to the Colonel during the morning and re minded him that he had met him ir. Cuba. “Just a minute.” said Roosevelt. “Oh, yes, I remetpber you.

''Yes.*' said Cook, with a laugh, "a.nd we made you dfifc your pass out of your boot and sholv it to us. We were stationed there tV> keep the soldiers from getting into the city and .getting drunk." Roosevelt laughed. "If you could say that I looked as though I were riding into Santiago after a drink you would probably prove a most valuable witness in* this case," he remarked. Will Go on Stand. Colonel Roosevelt to-day 8fild that he would remain in Marquette until the trial is over, no matter how long It may require. His next engagement is in Buffalo, June 10, at which time he will deliver an address. Colonel Roosevelt will take the stand himself. This was made known definitely to-day by Attorney Pound. The Colonel w ill probably be the first witness for the complainant. Judge Richard C.
