I can do certain things, investigate
my claims, try me if you have back
acne or Kidney ache, and You will not
be disappointed" One of the MANY
cltlzens in Lewiston VINO has helped to
push the good work along is Mr.. John

FOR the past eight years had trouble
with my back. l have been wrenchei
SO many times across the loins that /
presume that may have been the cause
or 1t. When suffering at intervals from
attacks, was lame during the day and
IN severe pain at night. After a hard
days work it was something horrible
TO endure. Soon after I would lie down
l was compelled to shift my position,
looking for comfort, and, as this con-
tinued through the night, arose often
in the morning to begin another days
work more tired than when I went to
bed. l read accounts about Doan's
Kidney Pills curing backs like mine,
and l went to drug store and got a
box. Well, 1 kept taking them until
the pain left. Since 1 stopped I have
done lots of heavy work, but my back
has stood the strain. I give Doan's
Kidney Pills all the credit for it, and l
advise others who have anything wrong
with their backs to try them" Just
such emphatic endorsement can be had

50 years. We see larger and better
herds of cows than ever before. with
numerous cooperative creameres.
We see the numerous silos, and acres

better farm buildings, better farm
houses and better kept grounds. AND
If We so inside we find our farmers
homes better furnished and their sons
and daughters better educated. Every

Our modes of living have certainly
changed. LuXuries have taken the
place of necessities. Taxes have
doubled to meet increased expenses on
every hand. Better education costs
more money. 1t is not that our farms
produce less, but rather that our
methods of living cost more, that him

the world, and yet some of them do get
ahead and meet these increased eX-

town in 1918 were 1928; last year they
amounted to $3916. And mind you, the
land holder. the farmer. has to pay
these taxes every time. With the crops

Exploring the Mound.

The other day party of Point
.Pleasantonians, comprising Messrs.
%. r. Hess, Warren G. Whaley,
Jos. H. Holloway and the city edi-
tor of the Register, accompanied
by Mr.. w. ID. Reamer. prominent
arch@ologist of Greensburg, Pa,
who came here especially for that
purpose, proceeded to Mr.. George
Moore's farm, in Mercer's Bottom,
with the intention of opening up
and exploring, as far as practicable,
the peculiar formation there which
those accounted wise in such mat
ters believe to be the handiwork of
the Indians, of prehistoric ages.
Considerable progress was made in
the work of excavation. in which
the party received most generous
assistance from the good people
thereabout, but lack of time pre-
vented its completion. Neverthe-
less the efforts of those engaged
were not entirely unrewarded, for
some interesting, if not convincing
relics were unearthed, sufficient, at
any rate, to encourage the further
prosecution of the undertaking,
which, no doubt. will be resumed
at the earliest available opportuni-
ty. The party desire to express
their thanks for the courteous hos
.pitality extended to them by Mr..
George Moore and his family, who
provided sumptuous repast for
the enthusiastic delivers after an
tiquities, as well as to Mr.. Joseph
Daigh, and those who with him
proffered such valuable aid in fur
thering the work in which they
were engaged.
