Eid Your Children of Worms
You can change fretful, ill-tempered
. children into healthy, happy youngsters,
by aiding them of worms.
Tossing, rolling, grinding of teeth,
crying out while asleep, accompanied
with intense thirst, pains in the stomach
and bowels, feverishness and bad
breath, are symptoms that indicate
worms. Kickapoo Worm Killer, a
pleasant candy lozenge, expels the
worms, regulates the bowels, restores
your children to health and happiness.
Mrs. J. A. Brisbin, of Elgin, 111., says:
"I have used Kickapoo Worm Killer
for years, and entirely rid my children
of worms. I would not be without it."

Surprising Cure of Stomach Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, dou't
imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to giye
you relief. Mr9. G. 8tengele, Plainfield,
N. J., writes, "For over a month
past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain's advertising
booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from people
who had been cured by Chamberlain's
Tablets, I decided to try them. I have
taken nearly three-fourths of a package
of them and can now eat almost
every thing that I want." For sale by

years wao supposed to be incurable.
For a great many yeais doctors pro,
nounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incuraoie. Science lias
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh

America's Banner
Engenders A Riot
Winnipeg, Man.*, July 4.?The police
are searching for the American
who precipitated a riot on the main
street of the city early today by waving
an American flag in the faces of
loj al young Canadian boldier3 of King
George, who were. arching homeward
from the annual encampment.
More than 200 citizens participated
in the riot which followed the American's
shout of "Hurrah for the Anierican
Eagle!" Several persons were
badly bruised.
When commanding officers saw
trouble was hear they issued orders to
the soldiers to keep to their ranks and
only one soldier was implicated in the
fracas. He merely ordered the youDg
American to discontinue waving the
flag. The American had many sympathizers
but the police had little trouble
in quelling the disturbance.
The flag was torn from the American's
hands and ripped into shreds
by persons in the crowd.
Obey That Impulse!
Instead of enduring: the daily torment
of weak back, backache, sore
kidneys, swollen joints and rheumatism,
obey that impulse to take Foley
Kidney Pills. They co-operate with
nature, which accounts for their success
in all kidney and bladder disorders.
They are healing, strengthening
