There was a good erowd in at. tendance and a nice time was had by all. We Norris folks sure did enjoy ourselves, didn't we?

Norris now has a fine school building which adds much to our town. I wonder what has become of "Old Riddle" I havn't seen anything fromi her section in a long time. Wake up and give us the news. I will ring off for this time, with best wishes for the Senti nel-Journel and its many good subscribers. More Sick People There are more people who are sick or ailing at present than was ever known in the history of the world before. There is a reason for it. Rules of health are vio lated and symptoms are neglect ed. Did you live according as nature intended you would be free from aches and pains, but you have violated her laws and you must pay the penalty. The majority of people who are ailing complain of their back being weak and aching, and then with their kidneys. When we hear a person complaining of impure blood, pain in back, back ache, pains in joints or hips, rheumatism, loss of appetite, or flesh, liver complaint, constipa tion, biliousness, torpid liver, foul breath, sour stomach, poor digestion, coated tongue, dys pepsia, heart burn, weakness, nervousness, distress after eat ing, tired and sleepless, and all such things, we know that that person is physically out of fix and needs medicine. We know the system is wrong and the or gans of the body are not per forming their functions. The kidneys are out of tune with the other organs. They are the filt ters of the body and they are ever busy, working night and day, whether we are awake or asleep. Nearly all the fluid in the food we eat-the water and fluids we drink-must pass through the kidneys before en tering the bladder as urine. Unhealthy urine from un healthy kidneys is the chief cause of the above-enumerated troubles, If the kidneys are in a healthy condition then it must follow that general good health and buoyant spirits is the result. However, if there be an un healthy condition of these or gans, however slight some, or all of the above ailments will as sent themselves, when no tine should be lost in taking steps to remove the cause, which may be easly accomplished by taking "Hallum's Backache and Kid ney Pills," the greatest known kidney, liver and bladder re medy.
