NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Johnson City People Should Learn
to Detect the Approach of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms OF kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine
full of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the vic
tim is often weighed down by a feeling
of languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease or diabetes. Any one
of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Johnson
City proof:

dence runs high.
On the other hand Butler is not sc
confident of victory, as is shown by

riors are working hard for the coming
game with Earlham, which will be
played on Reid Field in Richmond
Saturday. Ever since last years de
feat by the Quakers. Butler has been
looking forward to victory this year
over Earlham. Last Saturdays vic
tory over Franklin was by such a
small score that the Butler team has
become dubious over It's prospects fol-
defeating Earlham.
A blow was given to Butler this
week when Captain Charles Wolfe
who has been playing guard all sea
son, left school to enter business. The
loss Of Wolfe at guard leaves a hole
in the line which will be hard to fill
Hartman will probably be the man
who will fill Wolfe's shoes.
Earlham's team will outweigh But
Ter somewhat. The backs of Earlham
who were so effective last year at
plunging through the Irvington line
will have difficulty in repeating the
feat this year. Saturdays game Is
expected to show mostly open play.
The Butler ends and halves have been
coached on breaking UP the forward
pass and Earlham should not be able
to make consistent gains with this
style of play.
Buffers cripple list has been dimin-
ished and all Of the regulars will be in
the lineup Saturday. A special car
will be chartered by the Butler root
ers to carry them to the game. On
comparative scores, Earlham should
