JAMES A. HENSON, Corporation Counsel. R. P. Mernman, a well known citizen of Decatur in another of the hundreds who have nothing but the warmest words of praise for the great work of curing chronic diseases that is being accomplished by the new method treatment of the Interstate Doctors, those expert medical specialists "who have their Decatur Institute at 249 North Water street.

Everybody should read Mr. Merrl-man's letter, he says: "I will just describe my condition and what you have done for me. I told you when I came to you on June 30, that I had been unable to work for eighteen months, could do only light work and small chores. The specialist in charge gave me a thorough examination and said he could help me. My wife was more anxious than I was for me to begin treatment.

She was right uneasy about me. "She was afraid I was going to die. We decided to start treating and I began to feel better right away, my head cleared up and I felt different all around. "I was offered a job on the street and worked 3 hours on July 7, just eight days after I began treatment on July 9th. I worked a full day with the concrete mixer and now I feel able to do a full day's work.

"I have sent some of my friends to you and advise all who have any serious trouble to go to you. P. MERRIMAN. "637 East North." These master specialists treat all chronic diseases of men, women and children. Examination is free to all but no incurable case taken Adv.

Penny Grocery No. 2 632 East Wood. BELL 503. I should move to Western Canada? YOU like thousands of other American farmers are asking that question. Nearly a million Americans prospering now in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba would give you this answer: "TO BETTER YOURSELF.

To start on little if you have but little and make yourself independent and wealthy in a few years or if you are a wealthy farmer now, to make for yourself far greater profits." The Western Canada Farmer knows that any American farmer with energy and enterprise, and smaller capital than would be required to start anywhere else on earth, -can make good in Western Canada. It is the enormous crops raised on land that is very low priced, but most productive, which makes success so certain for the good farmer in the Canadian West. But besides the answer of the Western Canadian to the Ameri- vices of the remodeled and extensively improved St. John's German Evangelical church, East Third street, between Kitchell avenue and Maple street, will be conducted today, beginning at 2:30 o'clock and will be open to the public. The work of remodeling the St.

John's church has been under way the past three months and was brought about largely through the efforts of the pastor, Rev. G. A Kanzler, who came to Pana about one year ago. From the beginning of his pastorate there was a new life and intense energy. They began ten months ago to formulate plans for church improvement, which have been realized at the expense of some J5.000 and a large amount of personal labor and overseeing work on the part of many members of the congregation.

Service ln English. The dedicatory services Sunday afternoon will be in English and will be featured by anthems by the St. John's choir, considered one of the very best in Pana. The choir, assisted by an augmented orchestra, will render the sacred cantata, "Ruth," Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, which will also be open to the public. The dedicatory sermon Sunday will be delivered by Rev.

E. J. Westerbeck, of New Douglas, III. Following will be the program for the dedication: Dedicatory Program. Introit "The Lord Is in His Holy Temple, Let All the Earth Keep Silence." Song "Now Thank "We All, Our God." Prayer Rev.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with4iithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot" injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease. th thus relievinc you of the anxious hours attending a possible scarcity ot rainfall.
