Cresco People Must Recognize and
Heed 1t.


Kidney ills come quietly-mysteri-
ously,
But nature always warns you.
Notice the Kidney secretions.
See if the color is unhealthy
If there are settings and sediment,
Passages frequent, scanty, painful.
It's time to use Doan's Kidney Pills,
To ward off Bright's disease or dia-
betes.
w. G. w. Sawyer, Retired Farmer,
living at 2O5 West Broadway, Deco
rah, Iowa, says: 'For number of
years felt kidney complaint creeping
on me, and about three years ago the
complaint became very noticeable.
The kidney secretions were so frequent
in action that had to get out of
six or seven times at night, and on this
account could not rest well. AS re-
suit | grew weak and all rundown.
Though tried several remedies | did
not find find relief until at last l pro-
cured box of Doan's Kidney Pills at
Wangler Brothers drug store. They
went at once to the root of my trouble,
and by the time had used two boxes
| was rid of the kidney difficulty. My
health is now good and l am glad to
praise Doan's Kidney Pills publicly. -"
Plenty more proof like this from
Cresco people. Call at Milz drug store
store and ask what their customers
report.

Editor Barth Gets Census lob.

L. P. Barth of the Times has re-
ceived his reward for his loyalty to
Haugen in an appointment as super
visor of the census for the 4th Con-
gressonal district, a job with mini
mum of work and maximum of pay,
carrying with it a salary of $500 and
in addition 81 for each thousand persons
enumerated which will make total of
about $780,. There will be little or no
work done until about January 1st, and
his duties after that are light and will
necessitate very little absence from
home during the four months time nee
essary to prepare for and make the
enumeration.
Mr.. Barth states that the appoint
ment came to him unsolicited, although
there were other applicants, including
E. R. Thompson of this city, but was
rendered him by Congressman Haugen
very short time ago.
We heartily congratulate Mr.. Barth
on his good fortune, for if any class of
men deserve substantial recognition
from the politicians it is the newspaper
men, a fact quite generally appreciat-
ed by neutrality-suspicious., while in the
democratic party the opposite is gen
orally true, and many democratic pa
per is denied the support of prominent
and politically active democrats who
openly or secretly throw their support
and patronage to republican papers to
curry favor with them. We do not
wish this to be considered as person.
al complaint, but as statement of a
general condition in which nine out of
ten democratic newspaper men will
concur.
