AGOOD REASON
Bamberg People Can Tell You Why
1t Is So.


1t Is So.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out OF the BODY
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints. Bamberg
people testify to permanent cures.
N. B. Adams, Main St., Bamoerg,
S. c., says: II most heartily recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as l used
them and obtained the best of results.
I suff- red for more than a year from
attacks of backache, the pains being
located in the small of my back. The
secretions were quite unnatural IN ap-
pearance and gave me no end OF trou-
Bile on account of their too frequent
action. Having Doan's Kidney Pills
brought to my attention, l purchased
a supply at the Peoples drug store
and began using according to direc-
tions. They gave prompt relief and IN
a few weeks the pain in my back was
entirely disposed of and the kidneys
were again performing their work
properly. 1 feel sure that Doan's
Kidney Pills will effect a complete
cure in my case.'

The killing of Senator Carmack in
Tennessee seems from the published
accounts to be little short of assassi-
nation. He was one of the brainiest

death is a national calamity. He was a

that he should be done to death be-
cause of politics makes it all the

BLESSINGS of the Blind.

The calamity of the blind is i'm
mense, irreparable. But it does not
take away our share Of the things that
count-service, friendship, humor, i'm

inner will that controls ones fate. We
are capable Of willing to be good, OF
loving and being loved, of thinking tc
the end that we may be wiser. We
possess these spirit born forces equally
with all Gods children. Therefore
we, too, see the lightnings and hear the
thunders of Sinai. We, too. march
through the wilderness and the solitary
place that shall be glad for us. and as
we pass God maketh the desert to bios

How Sunshine Warns Us.

The effect of the suns rays is de
termined by two circumstances
the length Of time during which
they act continuously and their d.
rection. When the sun is farthest
from the earth, as is the case in
summer, it is daily above the hori-
zon for much longer time than it
is when nearest, as at the winter
solstice. This continuous action in
tensifies the heat, and, 1.-The nights be.
ing short, but little of the heat Is
given off during the suns absence.
In summer again the suns rays
reach us in a more vertical direc
ton, and, the days being longer than
the nights, more heat is absorbed
than radiated. In winter, the sun
ascending to less elevation, the
rays reach us more obliquely, and
the days being much shorter, the re
suit is that more heat is radiated
than absorbed.

Even more interesting was the evil
