for Local Option.

Baltimore, May 26.-The general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church at prolonged session put it.
self on record as endorsing unquali
fedly the work of the Anti-Saloon
league and also favoring local option
Both of these positions are new with
the church, as up to this time no spe-

endorsement of the church, while it
has stood on the other hand for abso-
lutte prohibition everywhere.
This result was attained only after
one of the stormiest meetings yet
held.

ROCKFORD, ILL.

The State Board of Health offers
the following excellent suggestion:
One of the most intolerable NUS:
ances is the habit of sweeping pub
lie places while the employees are at
work or the public is present The
dust from enclosures is not only dis
agreeable, but it is vastly dangerous
much more dangerous than dust from
outdoor lighted places. 1t is not an
uncommon sight to see railroad de-
pots where all kinds of passengers are
present, swept dry and clouds of dust
arising. School houses are frequently
similarly treated. Halls and other
public places are frequently swept
Just before an entertainment is to be
given and swept dry. Every munich
pality should pass ordinances prohibit
ing such procedures.

keep it out of the paper is the cry
which the local newspaper publisher
daily hears. To oblige often costs
considerable, though the party who
makes the request thinks the granting
scarcely worth saying "thank you''
for. A newspaper is a peculiar thing
in the public's eye. The news gatherer
is stormed at because be gets hold
of one item and is abused because he
does not get another. Young men,
and often young women as well as
older persons, perform acts which be-
come legitimate items for publication
and then rush to the newspaper office
and beg the editor not to notice their
escapades. The next day they con-
denim the same paper for not having
published another party doing the
same thing they were guilty Of, for
getting apparently their late visit TO
the printing office.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some Grand
Rapids People Know how to Save it.

Many Grand Rapids people take
their lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help, Sick kidneys are
responsible for vast amount of suf-
ferng and i'll health, but there is no
need to suffer nor to remain in danger
when all diseases and aches and pains
due 20 weak kidneys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is Grand
Rapids citizens recommendation.
Mrs. Samuel Parker, living at 867
Eleventh ST.. N, Grand Rapids, Wis -,
says: "Mr. Parker, is great deal
better in every way since using Doan's
Kidney Pills. For some time he
suffered from a lame back and sore
ness across his loinS. The Secretions
from his kidneys were very irregular
in action and he was forced to arise
many times during the night to pass
them. They were also highly cOlored
and at times contained a sediment.
Seeing Doan'S Kidney Pills advertised,
my husband procured d box and they
went directly to the seat of his trouble.
He has not complained of any of the
symptoms since and his general health
is much better"
