THE LOST DOLLAR.
IL Was Sent to a Mail Order House
and Never Got Back Home.

and Never Got Back Home.
This is the sad story of the neighbor
hood dollar that went astray and never
found its way home
Ten years ago an Allen county (kan.)
farmer put his initials on q dollar bill.
The next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with a merchant.
Before the year was out he got the
dollar back. Four times in six years
the dollar came back to him for prod
uce, and three times he heard Of it in
the pockets of his neighbors.
The last time he got it back five
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He has never seen that dollar
since and never will. That dollar will
never pay any more school or road tax
for him, will never build or brighten
any of the homes of the community,
He sent it entirely out OF the circle Of
usefulness to himself and neighbors.
How many dollars, how many mil
lions Of dollars, are going away from
home never to return every year?
Some statistician has estimated that
about 100000, 900 Of them take French
leave Of their home communities annu-
ally by the mail order route. Every one
that departs from home in this way
takes a dollars worth of prosperity out
of the community.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
Chas. GOlGswOrthy, retired, living
on Hoard ST., Mineral Point, Wis,
says: Il have been practically unfit
to do any work for over five years as
l was troubled by retention of the
kidney secretions, accompanied by
dull pains in my back. I tried
great many remedies but did not re-
ceiVe relief from any of them and
when my attention was drawn to
Doan's Kidney Pills, went to Tvey's
Pharmacy and procured a box. [
have had little pain since using this
remedy, my kidneys act more natural
ly and [ feel better in every way. l
give Doan's Kidney Pills my hearty
endorsement at every opportunity"

Merely a Fog.

Richland Democrat: This vicinity
was enveloped for several days dur
ing the past week in a heavy haze.
thought by most people to be smoke
from forest fires. Such is not the real
fact of the case, however. The wealth
er observer explains that it is merely
fog due to prevailing wind from
south and northeast which has
brought up a warm current from the
south to meet a cooler one from the
north. The phenomenon is common
in the fall and especially in October,
but the fog has been denser than usual
on this occasion.

BUYING PIGS IN POKES.
What You DO When You Patronize a
Catalogue House.


Catalogue House.
Would you buy a cat in a bag, a
pig in Il poke? No? Then you are not
one of those who contribute $250.000,-
900 annually to the support of the cata-
logue houses in payment for their pic
tured wares.
Yet there are millions who are doing
that very thing, buying the cat in the
bag and pig in the poke, and of Il
stranger. when for the asking they
might buy Of Il neighbor and have am
pie time to examine their purchase be-
fore paying over their money.
Why they prefer thus to buy their
cats and their pigs is a question
that the local merchant would pay
money to have answered.
Why will people otherwise sensible
pass up the goods which they can ex-
anime before purchase and pay out
their good coin to q catalogue house,
trusting to the picture and q promise?
That they will do it Its true, it's
pity, and pity It's It's true"
