WORK WEAKENS
 THE KIDNEYS
Boan'S kidme. Fills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work
 In Pine Bluff.

Most Pine Bluff people work every day Ill some strained, unnatural posi- tion-bending constantly over a desk riding on jolting wagons or cars doing some laborious house work: lift ing, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear weaken and iniure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of fil- tering the poisons from the blood. Deans Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys put new strength in the bad backs Pine Bnff cures prove it.
 J. T. Gracey, 91o Oak street, Pine Bluff, Ark, says My occupation as a carpenter requires me 10 do a great deal of heavy lifting and climbing and this no doubt, has something to do with bringing on my kidney trou- hie. l suffered from the complaint TOT some time, the pains in my back being the worst feature. The kidney secretlons were irregular in action and 1 felt so tired and run down all the time that it was only through q great effort that I kept at my work. l at last read of Doan's Kidney Pills and procured q box at the Mann- Iankersley Drug Go. I used them carefully and was soon free from my trouble. 1 am glad to endorse a rem edy which acts so promptly and ef- fectively as Doan's Kidney Pills.

Boston, Nov. 25.--Although prob ably few people interrupt their ap- preciation of turkey and cranberry sauce to think about it. Thanksgiving Day is the oldest as we'll as in many respects the most typical of American holidays. It is in fact two hundred and eightyseven years old, it's ob- servance dating from the time when the Pilgrims, a year after their land ing from the Mayfiower, held thanks giving service for their first harvest ernor Bradford who officially estab- lished the tautumnal day of thanks which has been observed near the end of November ever since that time. Thus Thanksgiving is more than a century and half older than Inde- pendence Day and ante-dates even farther than this our other holidays, most of which are of comparatively recent creation.
 Thanksgiving is so firmly establish ed among the red letter days of the American calendar that there is very little prospect that it will ever lose its place.
