Kidney pills are the things for kid
ney disease and rheumatism"
Dodd's Kidney pills always cure
the kidneys. Good kidneys ensure
pure blood. Pure blood means good
health.

THE WISE COURSE.

THAT we believe the republican ma
tional convention will have sufficient
wisdom to outline the policies of the
party for the presidential campaign
and have sufficient confidence in their
republicanism to formulate a tariff
plank in keeping with the time honored
principles Of protection without con.
sulting twice warmed ever formula
whose revised Interpretation is made
to read free trade with Canada.
That we pledge our support to the
candidacy of delegates to the nation
al convention, who are jim sympathy
with these resolutions"
This is the sentiment of the repub-
licans of Decatur county as expressed
In their recent convention which as
sembled to select delegates to the
state and congressional conventions.
The resolutions also endorsed the ad-
m1nistrations of Roosevelt and Cum
minis and favored the denomination OF
Congressman Hepburn. The republi-
cans Of Decatur county believe in do
ing business along old fashioned lines
as the above resolutions indicate. They
realize it to be the safest, best and
altogether the most satisfactory way
of doing. In this they are wise.
