It's Your Kidneys.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Wa-Keeney Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect
their kidneys. If suffering from
lame, weak or aching back they
think that it is only muscular
weakness; when urinary trouble
sets in they think it will soon cor
rect itself. And so it is with all
the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead
to diabetes or Bright'S disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. 1t cures all ills
which are caused by weak or dis
eaSed kidneys. Wa-Keeney peo
pie testify to permanent cures.
John Reddig, a farmer living 3
miles south of Wa-Keeney, Kan,
says: My wife used Doan's Kid
ney pills some time ago when suf
fering from an attack of backache
with the best of results. The
pain was across the small of her
back and would get so bad at
times that she could not sleep.
There was also a tendency to pass
the kidney secretions frequently.
Doan's Kidney pills. which we
purchased at W. w. Gibson's
drug store. entirely relieved her
and she thinks there is nothing
equal to them as kidney rene
dy."

will begin to change your mind.
You will then say that it is the
finest country in the world, with
horses, cattle and hogs fat on the
green grass and all kinds of trop
ical fruits. Now you will find
this even on the railroad, where
it is very thinly settled, and my
opinion as to investing there is
just this; There are only two
ways to invest to be sure and
that is to colonize twenty-five to
fifty families on one of those
large cheap tracts or if compa-
ny of people want to buy for a
money maker, just employ one
shrewd business man to go there
and take charge, employ those
poems to improve their ranch.
First raise corn, hogs and cattle,
which are very high there, and
then put in fruits, coffee and rub
Der at odd times, which are slow
er to realize from, for an income.
We all know how to raise corn,
hogs and cattle for quick returns.
Hogs and cattle will live the year
round on the parah grass and do
not need anything besides the
grass to finish them for market.
It is nearly all native stock there
| but [ saw some fine HerefordS
and some fine red hogs from Hi
nois, which look fine compared
to the native stock. All fine stock
is admitted duty free.
AS to prices, I have a thirty
day option on 1000 acre tract
at S475 an acre.
Also an option on $4,000 or
| 10000 acre tract one mile of Tux
tapect, village of 5000, and
8 miles from railroad. There
are two miles of water front on
this land and can use boat to
get to the railroad This land
is improved considerably. Prob
ably thirty or forty Mexican
houses and sixty orseventy Poems
are on this land which we can
keep or boost, as we like, but we
would surely need them, or all
that were good workers at any
rate This is one of the finest
rivers in Mexico, about a half a
mile wide, nice clear water with
very high banks on the side this
land lays on, which prevents an
overflow can get this tract OF
land for S425 an acre if taken
soon Surely it will be money
maker to invest in.
Now those California men are
buying large tracts, send a fore
man there and are making up
| larg They all say thatit
beats California. | consider that
something to judge from, but as
[ said | don't think it would be
wise for one or two families to go
there to live with children, as
there are no schools, churches
or stores that amount to much
With what saw and found out
[ would be glad to put 1000 OF
$4,000 in company with some
other men and go there or send
some man and make a good stock.

The telephone is a mighty han
dy arrangement and there is
hardly business man whowould
attempt to get along without one,
while its use extends quite gen
orally to the residences of the
city and even into the rural dis
tricts. The telephone can be
used for many different purposes.
The housewife can call up the
grocer and order prunes and 9th
er toothsome daintieS; she can
call up the dry goods store and
order spool of thread sent out
right away" she can visit with
her friends and if necessary give
those not her friends piece of
her mind" Hubby cen use this
means of informing his wiley
that he was going to take din
ner down town with a friend, "
and for many other purposes too
numerous to enumerate here.
The farmer can call up the city
and summon a physician to the
bedside of member of his fami-
ly who is sick unto death, obtain
the particulars of events out of
the ordinary that have trans
pired during the day. In fact,
the telephone is indispensable in
this day and age.
If you have a party line phone,
though, you had better be some
| what guarded in your converse
ton, for some person on the same
line may be listening, either pur-
posely or accidently, and over
hear what you are talking about.
Yesterday, Jones, which, by
the way is not his name, who
lives southeast of the city, went
to his phone to call up neighbor.
Now he is conscientious per,
son and would not play the part
of an eavesdropper for all the
gold in the world, but he could
not help overhearing the CONVEX
sation that was being carried on
something like this:
Hello
Hello"
Is this you, Bill?"
Yes"
Well, [ just shot into a flock
of quail (naming the location) and
got them all but two and they
dropped on the other side of the
hedge where [ could not reach
them"
OF course, as this is not the
season for shooting quail, the man
who was thus guilty of violating
the law might be prosecuted, al
though it is hardly probable that
this would result in a conviction
as the party of the third part
would be the main witness and
the conversation he heard ovel
the phone would not be Compel
ent in a trial
But the biggest joke is that
both Of the principals in the case
are prominent members of an or.
der which has been advertising
through its officers that all viola
tions of the hunting laws, partic
ularly by hunters from the city
would be followed up and the
guilty persons prosecuted.
There seems to be at least one
moral to this story, and that is
If you shoot quail out of season
don't advertise the fact over 6
party line telephone. -Newtor
