LIFTED FROM BAD BACKS
TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY
A Cure Of Severe Kidney Disease Verified
By Test f,Time

William M. Sears, 42s W. Cherry
Street, Nevada, Mo-, says: II was
convinced of the great value of
Doan's Kidney Pills through per-
sonal experience. Four or five
months ago 1 suffered great deal
from a pain across the small of my
back, extending at times into my
limbs and shoulders. When /
stopped or did any work that
brought a strain on the muscles of
my back, my trouble was aggra-
waited. 1 tried a number of RENE
dies but without success. After a
short time l could see that they
were benefiting me, and the. con-
tents of two and one-half boxes
cured me-" Statement given in

A Complete Cure of Kidney Trouble
and Drcpsy

Mrs. L. L. Babers, 1915 Terry st..
Houston. Texas, says: Il hold a
very high opinion of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and with good reason, for
three years ago they cured me of
kidney trouble that had chung to
me for several years. There was
a dropsical swelling of my feet and
limbs in addition to other symp-
toms of kidney complaint, and al
though I used various remedies, l
was not helped until I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. Two boxes
of this preparation cured me and l
have never had the slightest return
of my trouble. / have recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills to

me about them, and know of sew
eral cases in which they have done
the same good work"

why DR.. DObsOn Became a Quack,
and Other Stories"

This book by P. ]. Noyes is a some
what unusual story that purports to tell
the true story as to why a respectable
physician turned quack. The reason,
briefly, is that he thought there was
more money in quackery. The scene OF
the main storv-which has as much to
do with the Doctors" father and some
of his chums as it has to do with the
Doctor himself-is one of those quaint
old fashioned towns that probably still
exist somewhere. The father of the hero
was a somewhat remarkable man. in
that he mainly lived on patent medicines.
The short stories that complete the book
are of humorous character.

ment Nothing special need be said of
treating chicks in this connection
more than is discussed elsewhere IN
der the topics of housing. food and
care
Cleanliness.
The advice commonly given in poul-
try papers concerning cleanliness in
ficts upon the poultry keeper more
labor than need be. 1t is all right for
the fancier. who sells his birds for
high prices and whose profits depend
largely upon the impression his plant
makes upon the visitor, to sweep the
floors of his chicken house with as
much care as the housewife does her
parlOr But the farmer and the utii-
ty poultry keeper cannot afford to in
crease their labor unnecessarily, for
the labor bill at best is the heaviest
item in poultry keeping.
There is a general notion prevalent
that filth causes disease. This, strictly
speaking, is not correct, and lack of
cleanliness does not breed disease, al
though contagious diseases can be
checked by disinfectant. which, of
course, involves reasonable cleanli-
ness. Poultry if given dry whole
grain will have no opportunity to get
filth in their food. and if the house is
dry, so that no fumes of ammonia
are given off, there is no need of re-
moving the droppings more than once
a month. In winter time they can be
allowed to accumulate for even longer
periods.
In mild climates where birds are on
free range commercial poultrymen
only clean their poultry houses about
twice year. Damp poultry houses,
even with the most scrupulous care
in cleanliness, will never give salts
factory results.
Contagious Diseases.
Poultry suffers from numerous in
dividual diseases. such as bound crop,
bumblefoot, apOpleXy. etc. Such dis
orders must be dealt with by the poul-
tryman when the occasion arises and
need give him no serious concern, as
the loss involved is of small conse-
quence.
Roup is the greatest scourge of the
poultry yard. ranking as consumption
does among men. Roup, like human
consumption. is a germ disease and
one of which the germs are commonly
prevalent, but which are resisted by
vigorous stock. 1t is only when fiocks
of fowls become particularly suscepti-
BILE to roup germs by neglect and ex-
posture that this disease breaks out in
serious form.
The essential symptom of roup is
a clogging of the throat and nostrils
with offensive mucus, which makes
breathing difficult for the fowl. This
collection of mucuS in the throat fire.
Quently causes a wheeling sound.
which may be the poultryman's first
intimation that roup is prevalent in
his flock. AS the disease progresses
yellow cheesy patches form in the
birds mouth and throat. the eyes be-
come swollen. and in some cases the
eyeballs are bulged from the sockets.
These latter symptoms are sometimes
known as canker. and two or more
distinct diseases in roup outbreaks are
frequently identified by the scientists.
Practically speaking. these symptoms
may be considered as a single disease.

Boosting" New England.
We Have Plenty of Things To Talk About.
Let's Advertise Our Attractions.

Let's Advertise Our Attractions.
That the Booster is not a product of
given conditions of soil or atmosphere
and is no more sectional than human
nature itself is the argument made by Fl.
B. Humphrey of the Pilgrim Publicity
Association in an article on Cooperating
for all New England in the May New
England Magazine.
The West and South have taken away
from this section of the country tar too
much of its brain and Drawn; and they
have done this through advertising in
the newspapers and magazines and
through individual boosting. Now the
advertising men of New England would
see the current turned this way.
Behold the advertising man! He
declares we have not begun to show the
world-no. not even to show New Eng
land-what our resources are. And what
does he propose? He would have, says
Mr.. Humphrey, all New England, as a
community or as a group ofcommunities,
take a course of treatment in publicity.
And if you ask him why he thinks this
is necessary, he can give what, in his
own mind at least, are good reasons.
ITO begin with, he knows that eastern
ELS are inclined to think that there is
something in the soil and the air of the
West that develops commandments,
ana IndL the QWeIl6TS III the
home of the Puritans have inherited or
absorbed from their surroundings a
habit of reserve which amounts almost
to taciturnity.
But experience has shown him that
some of the most enthusiastic orators of
the glories of the West and South were
born and raised to hardy manhood in
Maine. New Hampshire or Vermont. and
that the reason they talk so freely and so
forcibly OF the great things in their adop-
ted country is because human nature
tells them to talk; and because, having
grown up with the country. having seen
the manufacturing plants develop from
an idea, having watched agricultural
products and fruits matured by the aid
of irrigation from tracts of desert, they
know what they are talking about.
And just as soon as the people of New
England learn the remarkable facts re-
garding the beauty spots at their very
doors, the marvellous agricultural posi-
bilities of our neglected farm lands and
the variety and character of the goods
made in New England, they will talk
about these things just as enthusiastical-
~ as does the traveller from the West and
South talk about such similar glories as
his home state may possess; and the
changed conditions will usher in an i'm
portant development of civic pride and
the inevitably resultant commercial pros
perity."
