A DANGEROUS MISTAKE.
Mexico Mothers Should Not Neglect
Kidney Weakness in the Child

Most children have weak kidneys.
The earliest warning is bed-wetting.
Later comes backache, headache,

'Tis a mistake to neglect these

To blame the child for its own dis

Save the child from deadly kidney
ills.
Doan,s Kidney Pills cure sick kid

Mexico parents recommend them.
r. Brown, living on West Promen
ade street, and whose shaving parlor'
are in the Ringo block, says; "a chile
OF mine had either weakened or easily
excited kidneys. He complained a.
times OF pain In bis back, the attack
OF which did not always occur Will
the same severity. Knowing that
such trouble was neglected in It's In

They produce corn in this country OF
a size and quality and in quantities,
that may well cause the corn raisers
in Illinois and Iowa to look to their
laurels. At the Omaha exposition
Audrain county corn secured hrst
prize for the best one-half bushel ex-
hibited, while at the great St. Louis
exposition last year the blue ribbon
for the best bushel OF corn on exhibi-
tion was carried OF by a man from
| Audrain. As an evidence Of what
farms will produce in corn, let me cite
the case Of Charles Dean, a progressive
farmer from Illinois, who settled ~
this section a few years ago; On 1OC
tIauu IN another f7sectitff Of forrhi tie 3 pc96Sdntt
averaged 65 bushels, while seventh
acres In still another section averaged
the same amount. Mr.. Dean is but
one OF many farmers who have come
into this section from Illinois and
Iowa and secured wonderful results
from the proper tilling OF the soil. The
old native Missourian did his farming
in half-hearted sort Of way, content
to let things move along with as little
effort as possible, not realizing the
wonderful possibilities at his door, but
the farmers who have come In from
outside states within the past few
years and with their advanced meth.
ods of farming caused this section to
bear great fruitage have opened the
eyes Of the native Missourians to the
wealth they did not know they had.

In community Of churches, homes,
schools 1t should be no surprise that
there is strong sentiment opposed TO
Sunday baseball. There is no necessity
for any hard feeling or bitter talk in
reference to the matter. The Athle-
tic inclined young men OF Mexico all
know that the position they take in
reference TO Sunday base ball is wrong.
While many OF US do things that are
worse than playing ball on Sunday,
that is no excuse for the desecration
Of the Sabbath. The flesh is weak
and none Of US are perfect. In the

that the community would be better

MEXICO, MOI have often thought
that had the Pilgrim fathers sailed up
the Mississippi river and discovered
Missouri instead Of landing at Plym-
outh rock the New England states
would stin be unsettled" This re-
mark, made to the writer by a promi'
nent citizen OF Mexico, Mo-, as we
drove through the broad prairie lands
Of Audrain county, is typical Of what
the progressive Missourian thinks OF
his state, and after a careful survey Of
resources and conditions as | found
them in the section surrounding the
thriving town OF Mexico, l am inclined
TO agree with the statement.
The majority Of people do not real
| ize the greatness Of Missouri or ia
wonderful agricultural and live stocE
possibilities. There is no question bu'
what in days gone by a prejudice oorr
of ignorance has existed against thii
great commonwealth, and it has beer
| looked upon by a majority ofoutsider'
as a country the only products 0
which were negroes and mules. Thl
| is all wrong. Missouri is a great agrl
cultural and live stock state, In allth
fact implies, and nowhere is this fac
more apparent than in Audrain coun

situated on the divide between th
: Mississippi and Missouri rivers, a
high, gently rolling prairie land, VIII
