He says: ~ have been troubled
with q dull, heavy pain in the small
of my back in the region of the kid
neys, which no doubt was brought
about by the jar and jostle of the
locomotive. NY kidneys were badly
effected and l used quite a number
of different kinds OF kidney pills and
other kidney medicines without OBJ
tanning relief, and the only relief ]
received was by the use Of Morrow'a
Kid-ne- -oids. / find Kid-ne-oids an
excellent remedy for the kidneys"
Morrow's Kid-ne- odds will positive
ly cure all forms of kidney and urinary
disorders, dizziness, sleeplessness and
nervousness. They are an excellent
nerve tonic; they act directly upon
the nerves as well as the kidneys and
restore both to their natural working
condition.
Kid-ne-olds are not pills, but yel.
low tablets and are put up In wooden
boxes which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment and sell at fifty
cents q box at Buckner & Whitney'i

to sleep during long drives.
The engineer did not know that his
train had struck buggy until he
discovered the top on his engine
pilot. The train was backed to the
crossing and Brown was found dead.

Attention. Young Mem.

From the Platte City Ado,) Landmark.
There is no nobler sight than a well
developed young man. Developed in
muscle, Drawn and brain; standing
proudly erect, with his brow untainted,
unmarked with the tarantula tracks Of
dissipation. Suck boys are loved and
honored in the community in which
they live. Their parents are proud OF
them and love to say, "our boy;"
business men respect them, church
people honor them and the commun-
ity at large hold them In marked es-
teem and in due time recognize their
worth. Such boy respects the law,
the church, remembers the Sabbath
day to keep it holy, reveres sacred
things and honors his parents.
And that other boy, also made in
don's image, pub upon whose race
cigarettes, whisky, Sabbath breaking,
disrespect for parents, contempt of
law and order; one who does not re-
spect church or state or Christian peo-
pie; one whom no merchant would
employ and who has lost the love and
respect of all good people. Say, my
friend, which OF these young men
would you wish your daughter to
marry; which are you helping in the
lives they are living; in the ways they
are going9 Are you willing to help
a boy along, or assist in showing him
down? How do you stand9
