NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Rock Island People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down and by a feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Brights disease, or diabetes. ANY
one of these symptoms is warning
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Rock
Island proof:

big subject, on which intend to write
at considerable length at an early
date. Just now I want to talk about
the Emporia Fair.
Meeting Many difficulties.
The association started, as before
said. about five years ago. and If
mistake not, their first show was
given in an improvised building. The
next year they had grounds of Ueir
own. covering twenty-five acres. Here
they built a grandstand anS other
houses. Inc folks in this region are
great lovers of good horses. and a
majority of them own fine stock, and
so race track was necessary. n half
mile course that compares favorably
with any track in the land was laid
off and made perfect. Buildings for
poultry shows and live stock exhibit
tions were provided, and altogether the
association has splendid grounds.
Two years of bad weather proved
financially disastrous, but little thirS
like that is not calculated to entirely
discourage Emporia folks. This year
they have sharpened their stick and
started out for greater things. The
premium lists are most attractive, and
provision is made for all of the prod
ucts OIL TINS F4cn country, anu Tue en-
tries SO far made indicate that the live
stock exhibitions will be great.
Fun on the Race Courae.
AS already intimated. the horse show
part of the fair will be great, and
doubt not that the racing will be
equal to, If not even better. than
Richmond showed up the other week.
Some famous .trotters and runners will
compete for the money prizes and the
blue ribbo. s.
There will be side shows and a
creditable Misunderstanding that the
sanctimonious can Icomplain Of but
good and really entertaining shows.
1t will be real picnic occasion, and
there Will be plenty to eat on the
grounds II there are city folks who
want to spend a day or two out In
the country. where the autumn air Is
pure and crisp and fresh. and have a
good time generally. they could not
pick a better time or find better
place for 1t than this Emporia Fair
will afford.
transportation Facilities.
The schedules Of the Atlantic Coast
Line Just suit the purposes Of the fair,
both from Richmond and the South,
and the company has agreed to land
all visitors right at the fair grounds
and to add to the usual equipment all
the extra coaches necessary to carry
the Increased travel The Southern
Railway. which has two lines touch
ing here, will run special trains for
the accommodation Of visitors, and
all the roads Will give reduced rates
to and from the fair.
Weather permitting. the Emporia
Fair Association is going to have q
record breaking show. In the way Of
attractions it will be record show
anyhow, and If the clouds and old Sol
are merciful and kind they will break
the record in the matter Of attendance.
Long live the county and district
fairs. They will take the place of
the old county courts in bringing the
country folks together to shake hands,
form new acquaintance. renew old
ones and swap news and views gen
orally, but this is the subject want to
talk on at later date, after shall
have been to few more of these en-
joyable gatherings.
