DOWN ON THE FARM.
Tillers OF the Soil Appreciate the Little
Wondcr-Worker.

Near the little town of Woods Cor
ners, about six miles from Ionia, resides
Il. L. Pierson. Mr.. Pierson, farmer
by occupation, and like all hard work
ing tillers of the soil he has found the
burdens the back must bear no light
load TO carry. Few people who never
lived on the farm appreciate what it
means to follow the pillow from sunrise
to sunset, but if the public in general
don't know how hard such work is, the
kidneys do. Long hours of work of
any kind means long hours for the kid
neys, and they can't stand it without
rebelling. When the farmer comes
home tired out at night, If he only re-
allied that the tired feelings mostly al
ways came from tired kidneys, and that
the little wonder-workers, Doan's Kid
ney Pills, would right the wrong
brought on by over-work, life would
be easier for him. Read what Mr..
Pierson says about his experience:

Revenue Law Decision.

The commissioner of internal reve
nue. has decided that draft or order
for money drawn by any person or firm
upon any other person or firm requires
two-cent stamp to be affixed by the
drawer and if the drawee accepts it he
must affix another stamp. The theory
of this decision is that IN accepting and
ordering the bank to pay the craft the
person on whom it is drawn virtually
makes it new instrument.
