Many Richmond People Fail to Real

q
ize the Seriousness.
Backache is SO deceptive.
It comes and goes-keeps you guess
ing.
Learn the cause-then cure it.
Nine times out of ten it comes from
the kidneys.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills
cure it.
Cure every kidney i'll from back
ache to diabetes.
Here's Richmond case to prove it.:
Patrick Mitchell of 412 North Fifth
street, Richmond, Ind, says: My wife
thinks Doan's Kidney Pills is a great
remedy for hackache, and other pains
that come from the kidneys. She was
weak and miserable for a long time
with kidney trouble and suffered a
great deal of pain in the back and in
other parts of the body. She tried
many remedies but did not find much
benefit until she began using Doan' s
Kidney Pills. They helped her from the
very beginning of their use and she
was soon cured. We both think a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills.

JOKED HIMSELF IN.

How "Private" John Allen Got Himself
Elected to Congress.
Here is Champ Clark's defense of
humor, if it needs one:
1.-THE dry-as-dusts solemnly assev-
crate that humor never did any good.
Now. let's see. How did Private John
Allen Of Mississippi get to congress
Joked himself in. One bit of humor
sent him to Washington. a national
lawmaker. Opposing him for the con-
gressfonal nomination was the Confed-
crate General Tucker They met on
the stump. General Tucker closed one
of his speeches as follows:
J"'Seventeen years ago tonight, my
fellow citizens. after q hard fought
battle on yonder hill, bivouacked un-
der yonder clump Of trees. Those of
you who remember as l do the times
that tried mems souls will not, 1 hope,
forget their humble servant when the
primaries shall be held
THAT was q strong appeal in those
days, but John raised the general at
his own game. My fellow citizens,
he said, what General Tucker says to
you about bivouacking under yonder
clump Of trees is true. 1t is also true,
my fellow citizens, that l was vedette
picket and stood guard over him while
he slept. Now, then, fellow citizens
all you who were generals and had
privates to stand over you while you
slept vote for General Tucker, and all
of you who We're privates and stood
guard over the generals while they
slept vote for Private John Allen
The people caught on, took John at
his word and sent him to congress
where he stayed until the world was
filed with his renown."

THE NECK RUFF.
1t Reached Its Full Glory In the Six

1t Reached Its Full Glory In the Six
teenth Century.
One of the most peculiar and inter-
esting evolutions in historic fashion is
the growth and development of the
ruff in England. This ruff began its
career as a humble little something
like a tuck running along the top of
the chemisette from shoulder to Shout
der. You can see it grow in the
portraits of royal personages slowly,
but surely, like a great linen flower
ton to generation. During the reign
of Henry VII. it was scarcely more
than a budding excrescence, but with
Henry VIII. it had outgrown Its tuck
stage to the extent of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild flare. Those were the days Of
such strict sumptuary laws that In Or
der to wear black genet you must be
royal, to wear sable you must outrank
your viscount neighbor. to wear mar
ten or velvet trimmings you must Ia
able to show an income of over 200
marks a year. The reign of Edward
VI. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging it to any
greater development. But Queen Eliza
beth, seeing in it possibilities for OFF,
setting her red hair and clear skin,
famed 1t into vigorous life. In the six
teenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom. Men and women. even tiny
princesses, were overshadowed by the
stiff rays Of the ruff on all great occa-
sions. Even over France. Germany
and Italy it spread its white pinions
and held unquestioned sway until it
fell with the Roundheads.
