They cure every kidney i'll.
Albert Jacka, living on Hoard

II have been using Doan's Kidney
Pills and can conscientiously recon-
mend them as a good remedy for kid
ney trouble. [ suffered for some time
with pains in the small of my back
which were occasionally very severe.
There was a soreness about my kid
neys and the secretiOns from these
organs showed that my kidneys were
affected. I was greatly run down in
health and the pains in my back were
so severe at times that could scarce
Iy do my work. [ used many remedies
but nothing gave me any relief until
Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at
Ivey's Pharmacy. [ have not had
any trouble since taking this remedy
and recommend it at every oppor-
tunity."

Bad Roads. Indeed.

1t is no wonder that the grangers are
speaking pieces in favor of better
roads, as the mud is something formi-
dable on the country roads. At East
Longmeadow, Mass, one Of the
churches was closed on recent Sun
day on account of the muddy condition
of the roads, says the Hartford Times.
A Hartford funeral party, driving to
Cromwell, found the roads impossible
in some places, rendering it necessary
to take to the fields The milkmen and
teamsters declare that they never saw
the beat of it, and the chauffeur who
gets off the macadam Is entitled to
premium.

Million a Year For Roads.

Connecticut still leads in the good
roads movement as a state. She was
the third to get into 1t, New Jersey
being the first, four years before her.
and Massachusetts the second, in 1893.
Now Connecticut spends $1,0OO,O00 a
year, while the first spends but $780,
900 and the second but 100000 less
than that. Connecticut spends the lar
gest amount per capita for good roads
by far, the only other states whose
total annual appropriations are larger
being New York, with $5,0O0000, and
Pennsylvania, with S1,5OO,OOO. but both
states are vastly larger than little
Connecticut.

EVER RUN AWAY FROM HoME7
Gray-Haired Man Remembers Boy
Who Tried II Forty Years Ago.

Whenever l read in the newspapers
that boy has run away from home to
fight Indians or seek some other sort
of adventure. it takes me back 40
years" said the gray-haired man in the
club smoking room. For l ran away
from home once, just as l suppose
every other youngster does, once at
least, only in my case l wasn't seeking
adventure. I was escaping tyranny.
1T seems foolish now, but it was all
very real to me then. The tyranny
consisted of the one fact that got my
first licking, and I guess there's no
doubt that deserved it. But l couldn't
see 1t that way then; / was very bit
ter, and the one idea had was to get
away where life was free and tyrants
were not.
THE impulse to depart on my trav-
els was carried out so suddenly that
l found myself wandering far away
from the house before it dawned on
me that l was i'll provided for a jour-
ney. l had gone just as was, with the
smart of my physical as well as mental
wrongs still acute.
ter of provisions, and the idea came to
me that l would make by first stand in
a cranberry bog right on the farm
With this as headquarters l would
make raids on neighboring orchards,
and If the worst came to the worst
supposed the cranberries would sup
port life.
We'll, reached the cranberry bog
presently and bivouacked Here l
should spend the first night under the
friendly stars. l picked out a soft
place for bed and sat down to wait
for night.
Now. cranberries are not very fill
ing, especially in the raw, green state,
but managed to eat some of them.
And then it began to get dark.
well, sir, the shadows fell quickly
on the hills about me and the air grew
chill. Fantastic monsters reared their
horrid heads on every hand. The free
life began to pail.
SO it won't surprise you to learn
that very little boy ran home crying
before the supper things had been
cleared away, and that he never ran
away again"

Appetite Stimulated by Cold.

Sufferers from loss of appetite are
advised to migrate to the south pole.
Prof Edgecombe David of the Uni
versity of Sydney. who is a member of
the Shackleton expedition, has sent a
letter to his wife. He says he is in
good health and that his appetite is
amazing. The vast quantities that
one eats and really seems to need in
this cold climate are simply marvel
Gus. / suppose they are chiefly used
in keeping up the body temperature. !"
The professor adds that penguin soup
is delicious and that he has become
very fond of seal meat. He wrote
his letter from the camp at the foot
of Mount Erebus, the volcanic and
glacial geology of which he was en-
gagged in examining.
