esrbed Wire for rsisphonss.

There are quite number OF
"barbed wire telephone" in the
vicinity OF La unta. The scheme
originated in Kansas about three
years ago, the discovery being
made purely by accident During
a cyclone the telephone lines SUI
fered along with other property
situated in the path OF the twist
er," and at one point where the
wire was broken the two ends fell
and tangled abour the same strand
OF barbed wire, and the latter not
having been broken bv the wind
the circuit was complete. When
the "trouble shooters" for the tele-
phone company went out 10 repair
the damage they discovered that
the only circuit left available by
the storms ravages had been saw
ed by the stretch OF barbed wire
which was about fifteen feet long.
Experiments followed and in a
short time telephone conversation
was being carried on in this man
ner for twenty FIVE and thirty miles
at stretch In one county a
"barbed wire exchange" is in op-
Grafton.

Adrian. Mimi, June 1st.-Phillip

out a medicine that will cure any
case of Kidney Trouble. AS Mr..
Doyle was himself very sick for a
long time, with this painful disease.
and is now, apparently. as we'll as

irmation of personal experience.
The remedy that cured Mr.. Doyle
is called Dodd's Kidney Pills.
In speaking of the pills, Mr.. Doyle
says:
In regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills,
they are certainly a wonderful medi-
cine-the best that l have ever taken.
81 was very bad for a long time
with Kidney Trouble and could get
nothing to help me till tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
81 used altogether about ten boxes,
and can say emphatically that I
am completely cured. 1 am entirely
well, without a symptom of Kidney
Trouble left.
Il can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to anyone who is suf-
fering with Kidney Trouble, for they
made me all right.
81 have advised several of my
friends to try them, and not one has
been disappointed"
