tie Light There Need be None.
How carefully parents guard the see
crets of their boys and girls. At night
as they carefully tuck the bed clothes
around them they chide aud warn them
that they will be angry If they repeat
last nights offense, softly saying to
themselves, it's only a habit, but we
must break them of it. This is the pa
rents mistake. The children cannot
help it, and sweet, clean dry beds, can
be tho resting place of every child when
it is understood that the cause is not q
habit, but weakness that can be cur
elk. Active life of tine little ones tend
to weaken the kidneys, and weak kid
ness means inability to retain the urine
This IS a condition, not habit, and
should have the fame prompt attention
you would give to the marked symp-
toms of any disease. One Doan's Kid
ney Pills taken twice a day and at bed
time will strengthen the kidneys of a
child and in a short time there will be
no cause to scold for the so-called hab-
it will disappear promptly.
Mrs. VIM. Mcbride, OF No. 2s2 West
Bloom street, Mansfield, o., says: my
little boy when he was eight weeks old
was attacked with rheumatism. He
recovered from the immedia tie effects
of it but ever since he has had weak
kidneys. This has given me great
deal of trouble both during the night
and the day, on account of the inabili-
ty to retain the urine. 1t apparently
had the effect of making him feel poor
ly, for his appetite tagged and he did
not thrive We were anxious to get
something that would benefit him so
when we noticed more tuan account
of Doan's Kidney Pills curing such cas-
es we got him box. We gave him one
pill at time and were very much
pleased that he was taking a turn for
the better, and showed steady improve
ment. We can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills for this distressing weakness
in Children
Doan's Kidney Pills are sold by all
dealers. Price so cents per box. Sold

great many people. merchants as well,
get the idea because a price is Low, the
quality of the goods must be poor, and
they try to impress this upon their

nigh prices or take poor quality in
competition with our goods at low
prices. 1t t'shows that they either be-
lleve we sell these poor goods at the
