A SIMPLE QUESTION.
cresco People are Requested t
Honestly Answer This.

Is not the word of a representative
citizen Of CreScO more convincing than
the doubtful nttera noes of people liv-
ing everywhere else in the Uuion?

Mrs. G. Meverden, wife of G.. Mev-
erden, furniture dealer and undertake
er, Elm street, residing on Park ST.,
says: ssIt is impossible to describe In
ordinary words what I suffered from
pain in my back. Attacks of it clung
to me for years, each succeeding one
more prolonged and more painful than
its predecessor. At times my back
was so sore that could hardly turn
in bed and the sharp twingeS l endur-
ed were indescribable. At night IN
bed, the very place where one expects
rest, was the very place I never re-
ceived it, lying awak for hours with
the result that arose in the morning
tired and devoid of energy. During
the day 1T was torture to go up or
down stairs and sometimes even climb
ing few steps brought such pain that
I was compelled to rest. A spot about
the size of my hand across my back
always felt cold and plainly proved to
me that there was some latent trouble.
When Doan S Kidney Pills came to
my notice 1 went to the Shuttleworth
Drug Co. s store for box and took
them strictly according to directions.
A few doses gave relief and a box
brought such undoubted benefit that
1 bought second. This l followed
up until l had used i've boxes. 1 have
never ceased since then to tell my
friends and acquaintanceSw what Doan s
Kidney Pills did for me. I firmly be-
believe that they saved my life. My
back is SO much better and stronger
and my general health so much i'm
proved that l feel like a different
woman. l am in hopes that my rec.
ommendation of Doan's Kidney Pills
in this way may be the means OF CIV
ing other sufferers from backache and
kidney complaint relief such as 1 OBJ
tanned. This is my only reason for
making the above facts public"

d. A. Lyons change of advertise
ment on the Deere corn planter is
worthy of note by all those who con-

startling. Look 1T over. 1t is worth
ones while to have seed droppers that
are perfect. The Deere people paid
SlO,O 900 for the right to attach that
dropper to their own planters. 1t is
not likely they would pay that price

Cresco and Harmony, via Granger

Cresco and Harmony, via Granger.
Rural free delivery mail on route
No. 2 from Cresco and on route No. 3
from Harmony, Minnesota, each car
ries sack of closed mail to and from
Granger. The policy of the postottice
department fayors, and we believe in
structs postmasters to send mail by
the spediest route to the point Of its
destination, If we are correct in this
surmise, then it follows that mail
from Cresco to Harmony, Minnesota,
should leave Cresco in the Granger
closed mail, which leaves Cresco about
8 O'Clock in the morning and arrives
in Granger an hour and half before
the mail reaches there from Harmony
and, put in the closed mail for Har-
mony reaches there before four O'Clock
Of the same day.
If sent by rail the same day from
Cresco, it would not leave Cresro, as
the trains run, until after two O'Clock
and with the delays of the transfer
from one line to another, would re-
quire from two to three days to reach
Harmony.
And so with the rural free delivery
of the patrons of the Cresco newspa-
pers living beyond Granger on the ru-
raj delivery route toward Harmony.
From postal card received from the
carrier on that route he tells us that
he cannot receive mail from the Gran
ger postoffice addressed to persons on
his route with the number of the
route thereon.
To send the mail to persons on his
route from Granger makes no more
work for the carrier then if sent
around by rail by the way Of Harmony
and it has the advantage of getting
the newspapers of Cresco to their pa.
irons beyond Granger the day of their
publication.
We respectfully refer this matter te
| A. w. Meacham, superintendent o.
rural free delivery, and ask from hin
such ruling in the matter as will pro
mote public interest and at the same
time facilitate mail delivery In thu
quickest possible time to patrons o.
the mail service.
