When the Kidneys are sick, sharp,
darting pains strike you in the back,
loins or sides-pains that almost take
your breath away, and often make you
cry out in agony.
It is almost impossible to mistake
these kidney pains, for they seem to
center about the small of the back
where the kidneys are located.
And still there are many persons who
think backache is merely a muscular
Notwithstanding that is expected to
pass away with little rest, aided by
plaster or by rubbing with linament.
There is no plaster nor liniment
that will reach the inside cause-sick

and cure congestion and inflammation in

Sick kidneys can not get we'll alone.
They need quick help. And If 1t is not

Fifth. l know of no houses of Ill
fame being operated In this county and
do not know of any Of the cities in the
county permitting their operation by
reason of any arrangements with the
cities.
Sixth. On December 81 1908 there
were 16 druggists permits for the sale
of Intoxicating liquors in force, and on
December 81, 1909, there were 13 such
permits in force in this county.
Seventh. There has been no action
commenced in this county during the
last year againsts trusts or combina-
tions in restraint of trade.
Favor Law enforcement.
Eighth. The officers Of the county
have generally responded when called
upon to assist in the enforce cement of
law and the sheriff's office and police
force of this city have been making a
special effort to promote law enforce
ment in the county and city during the
past year The fact that the commits
sion of crimes in this county has fallen
off over one-half as compared with a
year and two years ago is evidence to
my mind that the efforts of the offic-

term for the last three years.
Ninth. / do not now have in mind
any suggestions in the way Of 1egisla-
ton for the purpose Of strengthening
the laws of the state. In my judgment
the laws are strong enough and are
sufficient to protect the interests of
the public If properly administered. We
need officers who will do their duty
and especially do we need jurors who
are not afraid to convict, when the
evidence is sufficient and who are not
opposed to law enforcement. In this
connection l desire to say that I have
no complaint to make of the jurors
chosen In this county during the last
three years.
"In conclusion. I will say that. in my
Judgment. the most effective preven-
ton Of crime is vigorous prosecution
and speedy and certain punishment;
and not too much sentimentality and
lenency in 'sle way Of executive
clemency.

ROADS
ARE NECESSARY
WASHINGTON OFFICIAL DE-
cLAREs RURAL PATRONS
MUST KEEP UP ROADS
WHAT DEGRAW SAWS
WHAT DEGRAW SAYS
In Letter to AdeI Postmaster, Which
OttumWa Carriers Say Applies
Here, the Situation Is
Made Plain.

That passable roads are required
for the daily delivery of mail by the
rural carriers is made plain in let
ter written by Fourth Assistant Post
master General P. V. DeGraw to the
postmaster at Adel, Ia, and rural car
riers out. of the Ottumwa office de-
clare the views of the official apply
with equal force to the conditions on
rural routes out of this city.
1--WE carriers do every thing possi-
BILE to deliver all mail to each one on
our routes, but the condition of the
roads very often make this impossi-
ble," said one rural carrier. "The
bad roads on two routes prompted
Postmaster Nimocks to discontinue
service on them some time ago, and
the letter from Mr. DeGraw to the
Adel official confirms the action of Mr..
Nimocks.
What DeGraw Says
The letter from Mr. DeGraw to the
Adel postmaster, which the Ottumwa
carriers applies here also, Is COM
plete as follows:
"The department agrees with you
thoroughly in your statement that
the road problem is difficult one to
solve. The idea that rural carriers
are paid for their services and should
cover their routes, regardless of the
condition of the roads is one that
appears to be held in many localities
by patrons of the service.
"The rural delivery service is main
tained at great expense to the gov
ernment and it is believed that those
!. oh in.
terest themselves to the extent of
keeping the roads over which the
routes are laid in .easonably good
condition for travel.
THE maintenance of good roads in
connection with the rural delivery
service is insisted upon for the bene-
fit and convenience of the carrier as
a secondary consequence only; the
prime reason for his policy being
that good roads admit of a more ex-
peditious delivery and dispatch of
the mail. 1t is often claimed that
road is not impossible as long as a
team can get through, and that Il
the roads can be driven by the resi-
dents Of the vicinity there can be no
excuse for complaint from the car
rier This point Of view does not
cover the question properly, as it
does not take into consideration the
fact that the carrier must travel the
route daily regardless of the condi-
| ton Of the weather; must travel the
roads laid down for him and cover
the distance, if possible, within the
official schedule and must see that
the mail in his charge is fully pro-
tected and delivery effected in good
condition. 1t therefore follows that
the roads must be in condition some
what better than merely passable if
efficient service is to be rendered,
and the department feels that its re-
quirement in this respect is entirely
reasonable.
"It is therefore desired that you
again bring the roads covered by
rural routes emanating from Adel to
the attention of the local authorities.
and you may say to them that yo,,
are acting under instruction from
the department and that unless the
roads are placed in a reasonably good
condition for travel at the first op.
pOrtunity the routes will be rear

Searches for Lost Brother.

Clinton, Feb. 3-Where is Grant
Ellis? Efforts have been made by his
brother, Harry Ellis of Clinton to To-
cate him; but without success. The
brothers were separated as children
sixteen years ago and since that time
tho whereabouts of Grant Ellis have
been unknown to his brother, Harry.
Seventeen years ago the Ellis fam

ed to Thomson, Illinois, in order to be
near relatives. At that time there
were three brothers, Harry, Grant and
Carl, and one sister, all young chill
dren On account Of their circun,.
stances .he mother was compelled to
place two of the younger sons, Grant
and Carl in Methodist Episcopal or
phans' home at Glenwood near Chi
cago. The mother died three years
ago.
A short time ago Harry Ellis, who
is now employed as a glazier for
Curtis Bros, received letter from his
brother. Carl, who is, now twenty-five
years old, telling Of his whereabouts
for the past sixteen years, and stating
that he is now employed at Oakland
Cal, on the Southern Pacific railroad
This was the first direct news that
Harry had received of any of his
brothers for nearly seventeen years
In the letter Carl asked after his
mother, whom he supposed to be
still living, and made inquiries after
