Old people stopped with suffering,
Middle age, courageously fighting.
Youth protesting impatiently;
Children unable to explain;
All in misery from their kidneys.
Only little backache first.
Comes when you catch a cold.
Or when you strain the back.
Many complications follow.
Urinary disorders, diabetes, Bright's

Doans Kidney Pills cure backache.
Cure every form of kidney ill.
Mrs. L. E. Turner, S17 s. Chapman
Street, Owosso, Mich, says: eve have
used Doans Kidney Pills in our family
and they have been very beneficial.
One of our children was afflicted with a
kidney weakness which caused great
annoyance, especially at night. Moth

Pills were used. They soon effected a
complete cure, in return for which !

Asylum For the Insane at

Among Unforfunates,
BY ROY J. BUELL..

~IFTY years Of caring for the in

stands to the credit of the Mich
igan Asylum For the Insane, 10
Gated at Kalamazoo. During all these
years the institution has carefully fol-
lowed the course marked out by its
founders and has attained a measure
of success worthy of it's high mission.

excellent. 1t might be urged that the
time is not ripe for such an arrange
ment in connection with this institu-
ton; still, the benefits to be derived
are real and important, humanitarian
and economic. We have at hand,
moreover, well organized agencies in
the various charitable associations
whose members are representative cit
liens and would doubtless cooperate
in such a public benefaction."
A certain apathy exists in the minds
Of many relative to the commitment
Of their unfortunate friends and rela-
tives to asylums and institutions of a
like nature. Perhaps the thought of
being obliged to part with them, sick
though they may he, is in large
part due to this aversion. Even the
hospital tg1ooked upon by some in

first two years there were 141 patients

that in all 11,227 patients have been

A Dogs intelligence.

Mr.. Arch Hughes and family, whose
home place Is two miles north of Alb
ingdon, came very near being cremsted
in their home recently, and would, in all
probability have perished, but for the
whining and paving on the door by
their faithful dog. The house was
burning at 2 a. m, and as the flames
advanced, the dog set up an unearthly
moaning, as though he realized the dan
ger Of the family. The cries of the dog
aroused the family. and upon rising
they discovered that the home was
burning rapidly. Mr.. Hughes is Grip
pie, and he barely got out in time to es-
cape the flames. Abingdon Virginian.
