P|L|NG Up TESTIMONY.
Nothing But Praise From All
Sources.
Stands High In the Estimation of Those
Who Have Tested Its Merits.

There is no doubt whatever as to
the merits OF Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
judging from the good results OBJ
rows Kid-ne-oids are used daily by
many Ohio citizens and they all tes-
tify without any hesitancy about the
great good they have received by the
use of this great kidney prapara ton.
Kid-ne-oids will positively cure kid
ney backache, dizziness, sleepless-
ness, nervousness and and all urin-
airy disorders arising from a disor-
dered condition of the kidneys. An
other citizen adds his testimony as
follows:
L. NJ. Brady. 1925 East North St.,
Canton, Ohio, says: Il have suffer-
ed for about three years with severe
backache, also with nervousness. l
think my liver was torpid for / was
bilious and had spells of dizziness.
MorrOw's Kid-ne-oids and Liver-laX
being recommended so highly for
such troubles / decided would try
them. They greatly relieved me of
all my ailment and l now feel better
in all respect"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills
but Yellow Tablets, aid sell at fifty
cents box at all drug stores and at
John Lamparter & Co.'s drug store.
Morrow's LiverlaX are small red
granules and sell at twenty-five cents
a box.

CHRONIC K|CKERS.
Some In Every Household In
Akron, But They Are
Growing Less.

Chronic kickers the kidneys are
when they are sick.
What makes the Kidneys sick? A
simple thing.
They have too much to do.
Must keep up their work, they
never rest.
Can't blame them for kicking.
Ever have your kidneys kick?
Ever have bad back, a lame,
weak, or aching one?
Know it's the kidneys kicking?
The back aches because the kid
neys are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
It's the best proof. for it comes
from Akron.
Mr.. E. w. Derthick. of l09 Woos-
ter ay., says: Il had attack of back
ache and an annoyance from the
kidney secretions. / was induced TO
use DOan's Kidney Pills and Mrs.
Derthrick procured them from Lam
parter & Co.'S drug store for me.
They gave me prompt and effective
relief from the backache and regu-
lated the action of the kidneys. /
am pleased to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to others suffering from
sluggish kidney or backache.'

Knov. Hor to Keen st,I,.

Says writer in the New York Mail

| came across an item in paper the
other day stating that Colonel Lamont s
private fortune was ''said to be- So
600. 600. The paper making this state
ment was the Albany Argus, and The
Argus supplemented it with the obser-
yation. This shows what man can do
by saving wood while other people are
anxious TO talk.
1t is not so many years ago since La
mont was reporter on this same AL
bany Argus. knew him very well in
those days. and people who knew him
then and now will bear witness that
prosperity has not spoiled him. The ac-
tivities which at present engross him
Yield him larger returns than come to
him from reporting, rather, but /
should not be surprised if he confessed
that he had more fun in the old days
than he has now.
The Argus observation which quote
doubtless goes far to explain the secret
of Lamont's success. The colonel may
be said to have a positive genius for
keeping still at the right time. although
when occasion demands he can talk
fuently and to the point.

As an intimate friend and admirer OF
Hon. Chas. E. McCorkle decd, I desire
to enter my protest against such action
az that proposed by Senator Flood and
agreed to by the two houses, in not
only having the State to bear bis
funeral expenses but pay his legal re-
presentation for the time for which he
did not serve. This d, not only
from the fact OF thinking it a very bad
precedent, but taking undue advantage
of a man after he is gone Knowing
him, as was my privilege, from'his boy
hood and knowing well the high stand
ard of honor and gentlemanly propriety
OF which be was possessed and The
spirit Of independence by which his
life was controlled l have no hesitation
in saying that had it been passible for
him to have looked into the future and
fully realize that he was 30 sosn to be
called to his eternal home, aud then
have had such q proposition male to
him, he would have spurned such an
idea with all that righteous contempt
for wrong doing that was so chaoteris-
tic of his noble life. He was in no way
in need Of charity in life and now that
he is gone it liz great mistake in his
friends 10 even think of his most hearty
and emphatic disapproYal. Doubtless
his legal representatives. will not accede
to such proposition. Then, as to
precedence. If the State is under
such obligation in any one case, why
not in the case of every man who may
die while in her service in any capacity
whatevsi hope to be rightly under
stood in this matter. None, outside OF
his near relationship had kinder re-
gard for him while he lived and. now
since he has gone to the home above.
none more sincerely revere his memory,
My appreciation OF him as friend
would lead me 10 this, were I not
prompted by any other feeling in the
case.
The "Calico Carnival" by the little
folks, va, held at the appointed time
and was in every way success. The

CONTRACT LABOR IN HAWAI-

TIE administration got such bao
scare over the emphatic protest which
the working people in Ohio registered
against its policy in the recent election
that it is going into the explaining
business with its usual lack of tact ana
accuracy. Senator Clark of Wyoming,
just back from Hawaii, has the hardi.
hood to state that contract labor is a
thing of the past in Hawaii and there
is no desire among the planters Of the
islands to hire labor inferior to The or
binary American farm laborer".
This is the sort of thing tie admins
tration approves, but unfortunately
the facts are different. Thousands OF
Chinese and other contract laborers
have been rushed into the Hawaiian
islands since their annexation and the
conditions never were worse. Contract
labor in Hawaii means, practical sla-
very.
The working people of this country
have already given the warning as to
the threatened danger of an Invasion
If cheap labor, which can so easily be
brought INTO this country by way Of
our new possessions, To deny that
con ract labor exists in Hawaii will e1-
cite serious apprehension that no pro-
tective legislation is contemplated in
the imperialist scheme of affairs.
