REMARKABLE CURE OF
RHEUMATISM.
Mr. Miclmol Doran, employed by the
American Bridge Co., Youngstown, O.,
writes: “I want to say for the benefit
of my fellowmen that I have been suf
fering for a long time with acute
Rheumatism in my knees. I had tried
every kind of remedy, Including an
expensive course of electrical treat
ment, but nil of no avail. One day at
the suggestion of my druggist I took
a bottle of Paracamph to try. The
effect of its use was magical. I got
relief at once, and hfter using three
or four bottles I believe I am perma
nently cured. It Is certainly a won
derful remedy, and upon my advice
a number of friends have tried Para
camph, and the verdict is unanimous
that It will do all that Is claimed for
it.” Don’t suffer from Rheumatism,
Lumbago, Sore and Stiff Joints. Use
Paracamph. It has cured others and
will cure you. Your druggist will sell
It to you on a guarantee of satisfaction
or money refunded. No cure, no pay.
Get a bottle to-day. Trial size 25c;
family sizes 50c and $1.00. If you have
never tried Paracamph we will send you
a trial size free. Write to-day. The
Paracamph Co., Louisville, Ky.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AGAIN.
_
A New Series of Detective Sto
ries in the Kansas City Star.
Conan Doyle’s detective sto
ries, with the marvelous Sher
lock Holmes as their hero, have
achieved the greatest success of
recent years. Appreciating this
fact, the publisher of Collier’s
Weekly, New York, induced Mr.
Doyle to write a final series of
the great detective’s adventures.
Repeated refusals were followed
V * _ _ J - _ J.a AM MM M M A- /-» ., M r]
Uj lllClcaocu muuGciututo, wuu j
finally Mr. Doyle agreed to write
thirteen stories for $45,000. or
about 60 cents a word. The en
tire „oirespondence was by ca
ble.
The amount paid by Collier's is
the largest ever paid for such
work and does not include the
right; to publish the stores in
book form. By special arrange
ment with Collier’s these famous
stories are being printed in the
Kansas City Star, one story each
week, beginning in the daily j
edition of Saturday, February 11, |
and in the weekly Wednesday,;
February 15.
None of the present popular
features of the Star will be cut
down or omitted to make room
for this remarkable set of stories.
Practically the contents of a $1.50
book will be added to the con
tents of the Star in three months
without any increase of the sub
scription price, 10 cents a week
for the daily Star, (morning,
vening and Sunday, 13 complete
papers a week) and 25 cents a
vear for the weekly Star.

STATE GUARD" TO
BE REORGANIZED.
Militia to Be Reduced to Two
Full Regiments and Placed
on Military Basis.
Little Rock, March 15—The
Arkansas State guard, since the
passage of the State appropria
tion bill, is to be reorganized.
The details of the plans have not
yet been decided upon, but it is
assured that the militia is to be
made a more compact and effic
ient body.
At present tnere are twu reg.-i
ments of twelve companies each,
with nine unassigned companies.
By a process of elimination
through the inspection to be
made by regular army officers
in April, this force is to' be re
iuced to two full regiments, the
most efficient companies being
retained and the others dis
banded.
The guard will by this means
and through other changes, be
put on a strictly military basis,
jo that the greatest possible ser
vice may be secured of it.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages,
Kidney diseases are so destructive tc
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and th«
strength exhausted. Then, too often
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle ol
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
cnfff»rimr ftiafr would anrfdv followshmild
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 8 iti red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores. $1.00 per bottle.
