CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some Astoria People Have Learned
How to Get Rid Of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
H. ]. Young, of 2o0a Morrison
street, Portland, Ore, says: 81 have
had no occasion to use any kidney
medicine since 1908, and that is the
very reason why | can recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills so strongly.
This remedy relieved me at that time
OF an annoying attack OF kidney COM
plant which had clung to me for quite
while, and had become aggravated
by cold which settled in my back.
The relief was speedy and lasting,
and not the slightest trace Of recur-
renee has appeared during the three
years that have elapsed. | am con-
vinced that this is good proof of the
value of Doan's Kidney Pills"

"AT HEART"

An amusing feature OF the recent
great Burley tobacco sale may nave
escaped the attention of o good many
people. In announcing the details, the
city press gave a statement from Hon.
A. j. Carroll, attorney for the Ameri-
can Tobocca Company, in wl'icn be is
quoted as saying that the aforesaid
company acceeded TO the demands OF
the tobacco growers, because it mad
the best interest of the stale Of
Kentucky at heart" This is joke
TOO good to let pass without comment.
Whoever heard of 3 corporation haV-
ing a heart, much less corporation
which had grown into a gigantic trust
as represented by the American To-
tacco Company Of to-day? These pec-
pie could nave paid the price, whicn
they finally gave last spring when
their representatives, announced at the
Frankfort meeting that tney mad un
hand more tobacco tnan trey could
use In three years. Instead of doing
this, in order that they might increase
their already enormous dividends, both
on preferred and common stock, this
company spent thousands upon thous-
ands OF do lars IN an organized effort
to discredit farmer organizations in
Kentucky. II caused untold suffering
among the poor people who were fight
ing for principle and fighting for
the protection of their loved once
from starvation prices. This fignt.>or
ganized by the trust, represented nun
dreds OF thousands Of dollars expends
TO subsidize the press and TO dis

stories Of crimes which never lappen-

from this word his loving wife and
helpmeet, Fanny Foster, VINO was
sick only snort wnI.e, the imlnedi-

and two small children, one an infant
only few days old. Sic was d con-

She was dutiful cnild, loving

death has cast "A shadow dark and
ominous, over that once happy home.
Although our hearts bleed in sympa-

words will be heard no more.
TIE hands that so cheerfuly y admins

Hartford, KY, Nov. 22, 19OS. -
The Hartford republican., 1908-11-27

For the first time in the history
of the world 1t has been clearly de-
monstrated that the farmer, the des-
pissed groveler in tine soil, has sense
enough to attend to his own business
affairs and can fix a price on his
product, instead of allowing the other
fellow to fix 1t and that he has the
patience and endurance to stand to
by his guns until the battle Is won.
The rest Is easy, the future holds
forth promises for the boys on the
farm, which have never before been
vouched safe. II the farmer will Or
ganize and maintain it in perfectly
lawful and legitimate manner, the day
is past when any product Of the farm
should be sold below the cost OF the
production and far equitable divi-
dend on the investment and colnmen-
surate wages for the producer. These
are the conditions which will bring
the boys back to the farm after they
have obtained their education, in-
stead of crowding them into the va
rious professions and workshops Of the
cities and towns, already filled to
overflowing.
