LLOYD'S COLUMN
An Alliance man was overheard
last week talking to his doctor as
follows: (For obvious reasons the
first part of the talk is deleted but
the later part is given.)
Frank: "Doctor, you know it pit
me in a mighty emberrasing posit
ion. I can't understand H. Link has
been doing it all summer and his
hasn't failed him once."
They were out for subscriptions
for the Associated War Societies
and landed in the Burlington shops
and roundhouse. One of the five
business men, a local Beau Brum
mel whlse fancies are reported to
often turn to the ladles oftener
than otherwise, happened to spy a
cute ittle miss in ovecalls with h
hair all dono up in the most at
tractive manner. She was just pass
ing by when he spied her and here
we will draw the curtain over the
scene, for he hasn't seen since and
the rest of the committee had to do
the soliciting.

Ho More Overtime
One of the changes wrought by
United States Senator Howard
Sutherland of West Virginia tells a
story about a mountain youth who
visited a reeultlng office in the Sen
ator's state for the purpose of en
listing In the regular army. The ex-f
amining physician found the young
man sound as a dollar, but that he
had flat feet,
"I am sorry," said the physician,
"but I'll have to turn you down.
You've got flat feet."
The mountianeer looked sorrow
ful. "No way for me to get in, then?
ful. "No way for me to get in,
then?" he inquired.
"I guess not. With those flat feet
of yours you wouldn't be able to
march even five miles."
The youth from the mountain
studied a moment. Finally he said,
"I'll tell you why I hate this so
darned bad. You see, I walked nigh
on to 115 miles over the mountains
to get here, and gosh how I hate to
walk back!" Everybody's Magazine.
I Know the Voice
WHICH TELLS THE SUFFERINGS FROM A SORE TOOTH
I have to see or re for the first time the works of any noted
writer of the middle ages, anything ihat pertains to Dentistry. There
could not have been the demand upon them then as in being made
today.
THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE AND DENTAL SURGERY
Which has shown such wonderful progress in such a comparatively
short time, has been compulsory so to speak. Again
NECESSITY WAS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
For twenty years every hour of every day, I have heard some
one say, "Why does not some one invent something to relieve pain in
a safe and easy manner?" The cry for this great necessity has dwelt
on my mind so long, that I finally solved the problem and have put
it into use. Through Sturgis & Sturgls, Attorneys, I filed for a patent
on this most wonderful method to relieve pain.
1 KNOW THE VOICE OF THE SUFFERER; I ALSO KNOW HOW
TO ANSWER
in a manner that should Immensely please. It's here for you to take
advantage of. I will gladly show you.
