That Acid Trouble. Colusa, Col., April 18th. Much has been said and written recently about Uric Acid In the system; what causes it and how to got rid of It. It is known to be tho first cause of Rheuma tism and many other diseases and has therefore received a great deal of atten tion from medical men. Mr. L. F. Moulton of this place claims that he has solved the problem of how to get this acid out of the sys tem. He says: "I had this acid trouble myself for years. At times the Kidney secretions would be very profuse and at other times scant but the acid was always my greatest trouble. Medicine failed to cure me till at last I heard of a rem. edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and after taking a box I seemed to be en tirely cured. However it came back on me and this time I took several boxes with tho result that I was completely and permanently cured. This was three years ago and I have not had a single symptom of the acid trouble since. I am 76 years of age and I am well aa ever I was." You Can Oct Allen's Foot-Ease FREE. Writ Allen B. Olmsted.

"Her employer had discovered that she had saved up about a hundred cou pons herself, and as she had casually told him she must now purchase arti cles for travel, out of the goolneag of his heart he gave her his coupons and she got the bag.
