THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara J. Sherbourne, Profess
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland St.,
Portland, Maine, says:-
81 heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be more
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was cpl
demic, l was worn out wsSh constant
nursing, and when [ contracted it
myself it left me in a very serious
condition. I could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
eopious, and knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was mystery.
It seems odd for professional
nurse, who has had a great deal of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to Fl. Fl. Hay & Sons drug store for
box. But I did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
I did I would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and I will be
only too glad to tell them personal
ly. As long as live I will be firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills.

Cure Confirmed S Years Later.

Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. I said then that had any
body told me that it was possible
to get relief as quickly as / did I
would have been 10th to believe it..
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me much
higher appreciation of their merits .

ing prisoners who are ~incarcerated
for misdemeanors. Hereafter they

In Mississippi where ye publisher
was raised the prisoners are hired out
to the highest bidder and made to
work out their time, fine, etc. and
they thus become a source of revenue
instead of expense to the county.
They are put upon a farm and made
to produce cotton, corn, etc. We
have often wondered why they did
not do that here.

What Every City Officer Should Do.

Municipal officials owe it to their
constituents to know all that Can be
learned about practical matters affec-
ting the interests of the people they
serve. The authority on such
questions in America. is Municipal
Engineering Magazine, the central
office Of which is at Indianapolis Ind.
and it contains every month a vast
amount of information which, as the
Salt Lake Tribune says, it ought to
be made the official duty of every
mayor councilman or other city off
cer,t to carefully read. It would result
often in saving the public from very
expensive mistakes. Citizens interes-
ted in municipal improvement will
find it equally valuable and interest
mgr This magazine comprises about
100 pages monthly, aud the cost is
only $500 a year. It'll worth many
times this price.

Sd We US FROM OUR FRIENDS.

The sugar planter has always had
a hard fight of it. Not only against
natural conditions, adverse leglsIa-
ton, and all the ills that beset the
farmer, but also against the jealousy
or unwise u~tterances of those who
should be our friends, The following
from the Lecompte Drummer, pub
lished in the sugar producing parish
of Rapides is a sample of Whist we
complain about:
son his return front ubaC Congress
man Broussard, of this State declares
that the proposed sugar tariff reduc-
ton would ruin the Louisiana sugar
planter. Sound-thinking people do
not agree with Mr.. Broussard. La this
connection 1T might be well to add
that the congressman from this state
is not at all in touch with the poor
mar who would reap some benefit by
the price reduction of the sweet goods
from Cuba. When a trust large
enough to swallow up the fools on
earth, IS organized, the fellows who
put up cold storage facts to the peo-
pie they are supposed to represent,
