Old Familiar Words.

Going, going-Gone. That's the call
OF life and the grim auctioneer-Death

men bid to the last, some drop early in
the struggle. With death ever at ones
elbow, it is the wise man who neglects
no little ache nor pain, but finds its
source and puts the weakened part into
proper repair. Read the case of well
known resident of johnson City:
Joseph Archer, auctioneer, living on
Main street, says: can not say too
much in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills,
which have proven q staunch friend to
me, i was troubled for years with kid
ney complaint, accompanied with the
usual backaches and other pains that
made walking o discomfort and stoop-
ing out Of the question. I use great
many remedies, but until I got box Of
Doan's Kidney Pills at the Patton Drug
CO. g store l found no relief. After
using few of the pills I felt much bet
ter and in short time was thoroughly
relieved. I shall always rely on Doan's
Kidney Pills, for I know from expert
ence that there is no better remedy for
kidney trouble"

House Cleaning.

Nature has begun to clean
house. If the housekeeper watches
Natures methods she may learn
something of interest to her own
spring cleaning. First, Nature
melts her SHOWS and sends her
rains to wash away the dust and
dirt and the winters smoke and
filth. Then she dries the earth,
flooding every nook and corner
with warm sunshine. This she
does before she puts the leafy
umbrellas over the trees, for she
is trying to soak up the whole
earth and to penetrate to the
heart in the forest. Winds are
sent to drive away the vapors and
the gases that rise from the I'M
covered earth. The winds are by
no means gentle; they sweep fur
iously over the earth and blow
away the particles of dirt. So
should the hooks and corners Of
the house be exposed to the light
of the sun, and to the air, and
should be permitted to partake of
the freshness which Nature is
scattering about the earth with a
lavish hand. Nature will do her
share, she will carry away the
musty smells, the dust and the
gases if she is given a chance.
And it is during her own house
cleaning season that she, can give
the most assistance. g

Photograph SWindle.

Photographer Kerr is going af-
ter the "enlarge your picture
gratis" in good shape. The city
has been canvassed time and time
again by agents who agree to en-
large pictures at a. low rate. They
then try to run in a picture frame
from 81 to Sc that retails for for
ty cents, as the frame is all out of
date and badly put together. If
you fail to take the Job" they
refuse to return the original pic
ture, which is often the photo
graph of a very dear relative and
friends, and could not be replaced
for love or money. Mr.. Kerr says
he is prepared to enlarge photo
graphs of any and all kinds at
prices as low as the lowest for
good work and is here to make his
warranty good. People who may
need anything in this line will do
well to patronize responsible
home concern and give the for
eign firms a wide berth and let
them severely alone.
