. Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
' Mr. James IT. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left blm helpless
and unable to work.
He .flnully decided, nfter years of
consoles study, that no one can bo
free from rheumatism until the nc
niimutiLtod imnurltlcs. mminonlv rail
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
In the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.'
; With this idea in mind ho consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription
thnt. quickly ami complotely banished
' every slsn and symptom of rheuma
tism from his system. '
Ho freely gnvo his dlscovory, which
ho called Allenrhu, to others who
took It, with what nilnht bo called
marvelous success. After years of
everywhere know about his discovery
urginK he decided to let sufferers
through the newspapers. Ho had
therefore Instructed Heath's Drug
Store and West Hide I'linrmncy to
dispense Allenrhu with th'o under
standing that If the first pint bottle
does not show the way to complete
recovery ho will gladly return your
money without comment. Mall

RAINFALL IS FIVE
INCHES SHORT, FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR
The freaky spring liko weather
which has prevailed for days with its
several periods of brisk winds, which
are unusual for this section, alternate
sunshino and cloudiness and always
threatening rain, with but little of the
much needed wetness falling, continues
and rain is again the prediction for
Saturday. Just a trace of rain fell
several times today.
Such weather us has been prevailing
has shattered the predicting appara
tus of the old timers of tills section
and other amateur weather prophets.
They simply cannot understand why
n down Knr of rain has not followed
shortly after these wind outbursts, as
nearly always in the past.
Now tho old timers with their repu
tntions shattered as weather oracles
but Btlll gamo and full of hope, Bay
that they look for a big storm of some
kind to conio when this freak weather
spell breaks.
Meantime unless there Is a steady
downpour of rain In the valley, and
much more snow in the mountains
within the next l'ew months, the pres
ent year will go down In the records
ns one of tho driest ever known. For
the pnHt 111 years tlio rainfall here
abouts has been about 1G Inches, and
up to date the rainfall siuco lust Sep
tember Is now five or six inches short.
Only about a half Inch fell during this
last month, whereas the average Jan
uary rainfall of recent years has been
about one and one half Inches.
Not only that hut there has been n
shortuge of snowfall In the hills and
mountains, which If It continues, bodes
111 to Irrigation in the valley next sum
mer. In the Dead Indian section, accord
ing to reports which reached bore yes
terday, there are at present only eight
Inches of snow nt the dlvido, in com
parison with three or mora feet of
snow In rocont years.
This snow shortage is also plainly
evident In the llutte Fulls district
whero homesteaders are now nble to
walk out to their homesteads, even
within four miles of Mt. Pitt, whereas
In previous years at this time these
homesteads could not be reached be
cause of tho great depth of snow.

HE
BUILT C'T HOUSE
Here arc a few little known histor
ical facts about the county courthouse,
and the city of Jacksonville.
The courthouse cost (42,500 and
whefi the contractor got through he
was suffering from acute pains in the
pocketbook. The contractor who built
the foundation, sufficiently stout to
hold up the rock of Gibraltar, had fin
ished the job, he was In such financial
shape, that residents of Jacksonville
and the county, gave him a benefit
dance. It was quite a party, say the
pioneers who participated.
According to County Judge Gardner,
tho buildings In Jacksonville are a
source of delight to architects, and
every house holds some bit of work
manship, long out of style. More
architecture of the period before the
Civil War, is still Intact in Jackson
ville, than in any oilier town In the
land, Is the claim.
The fancy pulnting noticeable on
the door panels, window sills, and ta
bles of the courthouse, was all the
rage when the courthouse was built.
It Is of a wavy nature, the waves being
produced with a fine tooth comb pulled
through the paint, whilo it was wot.
The grain in the wood wus produced
by rubbing a peeled potato, after the
wood had been painted with linseed
oil, and turpentine. The artisans of
tho old days had a few tricks.

SILKS BEAU MONDE
, is a romance intensely interesting. It reveals the secrets of Silk Culture which were for
twenty centuries jealously guarded by ancient China, and the modern improvements that
"make possible the extensive use of silk fabrics today.
Do you know that one silk worm spins about three-quarters of a mile of fibre in
making its cocoon? It requires the work of at least 1,500 silk worms to make a simple
dress. This is only one of the. interesting things told by the Silk Beau Monde Exposition.
: OURS ILK
EXPOSITION
now exhibited in our store by courtesy of Marshall Field & Company, the manufacturer
and distributer of Silks Beau Monde. , ,
This exposition, through many specimens brought from Japan, will explain to you
the educational facts about silk culture, i.
It shows the scrutinizing care with which silk workers attend the silk worm from
egg to cocoon; it illustrates the processes used in converting the fibre of the cocoon into
a delicate and beautiful fabric.
When one realizesthat the United States consumes more silk than any other country
in the world spending approximately $300,000,000 every year the romance of silk as .
told by this exposition is of" no small importance.
Be sure to see the exhibit; in our store until Saturday night-
