A STITCH IN TIME.
Denison People Should Not Neglect
Their kidnevs


No kidney ailment is unimportant
Don't overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may
be warning you of approaching drop
sy or fatal Bright's disease. Kidney
disease is seldom fatal if treated in
time, but neglect paves the way for
serious kidney troubles. Don't neg
lect lame or aching back another
day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregu-
lar or discolored urine, headaches,
WEAKNESS or depression. Begin treat
ing the kidneys with the reliable, time
tried remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills. For
Is years Doan's have been curing sick
kidneys and curing permanently. En-
dOrsed by Denison people.
Adam Schneckloth, PA E. Benefit ST.,
Denison, Iowa, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from the Lamborn Drug
Co., were used in my family and
proved very effective in relieving pain
and lameness in the back, caused by
disordered kidneys. l cheerfully rec

CHANCE l FOR { E..
BIG BUSINESS
Capital Being Interested for the Pur.

on Large Scale.
SCENE OF kcT,-. is JEFFERSON.
Big Profits Are Promised by the Pro.
moter in the New Scheme to
Get Rich Quick.

Jefferson has an opportunity to ge,
a new enterprise here, one in which
immense profits are promised. While
the scheme is both new and novel the
city council is quite favorable to send
ing forward Jefferson's special induce
ments, which include above all things,
plenty of the raw material" not only
for one of these FARMS" but for a
dozen. more or less.
A Chicago man is advocating the
proposition, according to several Iowa
papers, and he recently submitted his
plan to the Chicago postmaster as a
chance for him to get rich quick. OF
his scheme he says:
1--WE propose to commence with
100000 cats. These cats will raise
an average of IL kittens each year.
The fur ranges in price from 10 cents
to IS cents per skin, according to
color. That would give us 100000
skins per year at an average cost of
&c cents each, which would net an
even $4,000 per day. One man can
skin SO cats per day at cost of 81.
That would leave net income of
$4,000 per day. We propose to feed
the cats with rats, raised on an ad-
joining farm, run on the same basis
as the cat ranch. We figure that the
rats will increase four times as fast
as the cats. We intend to start with
about 100000 rats and that will
give four rats to each cat per day.
And, further, we propose to feed the
rats with the skinless carcasses of the
cats, so that every rate will get one
fourth of a cat as each days ration.
That will make the project self sup
PORTING and automatic the whole way
through The cats eat the rats and the
rats eat the cats and we get the skins"

are solicited.-Jefferson Bee

Girls Are Not to Blame.

The girl is not to blame. The par
ents are the ones that should be con-
demned. What chance is there for
any young girl. when she is allowed to
go among older people of shady rep
utation 1t is probably the time in
her life when her habits are formed;
when she is at her weakest stage in
life; when attention is looked upon
as affection, and when the passions
are at their highest point. Any man
can take advantage of such a girl,
and that more of them do not go to
hell is simply because they are not
placed in the way of temptation. She
may be young yet and can be saved
before she has become blase and does
not care. Such parents have no right
to raise children.-Manson Journal.

GETTING Information.

If the following from the Webster
City Tribune is true our worthy con-
gresham is in line to make an able
successor to the late Senator Allison:
A Webster City politician met Con-
|gressman Woods few days ago and
had quite a chat with him. The w.
G.. p. is something of a diplomat and
lowed he'd find out whom our con-
gresham favored for president After
veering 9, Ound to windwari and afte~
discussing everything under Tie son
he could think of, he put n, question
point blank, Are you for Taft or for
LaFollette" "As was going to say" re
sponded Mr. Woods. ut occurs to me
that Roosevelt is making the party
some trouble in opposing the peace
treaties ard in offering his trust COM
mission plan at this time. But Teddy
has habit OF saying just what he
thinks. A very unsafe and unwise
thing for politician to do. 1t is not
to ones personal interest to tell too
much" The w. G. P. was compelled
to agree with Mr.. Woods in this, but
was determined to force his question
for an answer, so he repeated it. 81
think" responded Mr.. Woods, that
Taft will have very strong support for
the nomination and that LaFollette is
the choice of a large and respectable
body of republicans, but myself with
out speaking for anybody else. l am in
clined to think that Taft, or LaFollette
or some other republican will be nom
mated for president next year. 1t is
yet too early to discuss the question
in all it's bearings, especially for one
who is a candidate himself, but l have
no objection to saying to you frankly
that l am for the man who can win
the nomination and the election. =

YOUNG SON OF
INDIAN CHIEF
WOULD BE PAGE

Washington, Dec. 15.-(Special Cor
respondence)-The Sergeant at arms
of the Senate has just, much against
his inclination, been forced to turn
down the application for a coveted
position as page of the Senate of the
ten-year-old son of an Indian chief
and lineal descendant Of a great
chief who made peace treaty with
Uncle Sam in 1917. The lads father,
Chief Richard Shunatona, full-blood
Indian, writing from Pawnee, Okla,
says, among other things: II want
to tell you that we are lineal descend
ants of the man who made the peace
treaty with the United States Govern
ment in 1917, who was the principal
chief, Chief Chon-go-ton-go, or Big
Horse. We have the same name, on

ambition to be page dates from his

SOCIALIST SEES
PARTING or WOMEN
FROM THE KITCHEN

Washington, Dec. 15.-(Special Cor
respondence) - Congressman Victor
Berger, the Socialist repi esentative
from Milwaukee, has sounded the
toosin for a big battle for woman suf-
frage at the National Capital, insist
ing that the fair sex should have the
ballot for economic reasons. He is
to present petition to congress
signed by over one million women
asking for universal suffrage through
out the United States. 1--WE, the
Socialists, stand for women suffrage
he says, "although we know that it
may temporarily retard progress.
Of course the hope of the bourgeois
suffragettes that there will be wo-
mans party based on sex will never
be realized. Women will soon be
guided in their voting by their class
interests and their material demands,
just as much as men. And it is right
and natural that they should

the old days the female of the spec

preston that this condition will be
wiped out oy next Christmas Before
the close of the fiscal year, it is the
intention of the war department to
have at least fifteen areoplanes in
commission, and just as soon as the
army aviation school can be supplied
with competent officers and instruc-
tors there will be large class of Of
ficers and privates detailed there for
the purpose of being taught to fly,
after which additional machines will
be bought. The army has four BIZ
planes at Augusta and one at San

WAR DEPARTMENT
TO HAVE FIFTEEN
AEROPl.ANES ON JOB

Washington, Dec 15.-Special Cor
respondence) - Captain Washington
l. Chambers, the Commanding officer
of the navy aviation school, says that
within one year every American war
ship will be equipped with hydro
aroplane At this moment biplanes
are being constructed as rapidly as
practicable, the idea being that they
can be flown from the deck of any
battleship or cruiser. This is i'm
portant, for the reason that if fleet
| is provided with such areoplanes the
ships commanders can be promptly
informed as to the location, mum
Der, size, etc., of the enemy's ships.

army and navy officers that we are

many and Great Britain, and Italy too

SENTIMENT OR BUSINESS?

Some men buy advertising
space in a paper because the pa
per tells them that lit deserves
their support" not because the
space will produce results.
Then they charge the amount
up to their advertising appropria-
ton.
An advertising appropriation is
the seed of the modern business,
properly sown and cultivated 1t
will multiply a hundred fold.
So that each cent taken from
the advertising appropriation
robs the advertiser not Of one
cent, but of potential dollar.
Be charitable, not with the
seed, but out of the abundance
of the harvest! Next time a pa
per approaches you with an ap-
peal for your "support'-sub-
scribe for the paper out of your
private purse, if you like, and
have it sent to a friend, but don't
buy alleged "advertising' space
and deduct the cost from the
amount you can afford to spend
in real advertising.
Business and sentiment are oil
and water-they won't mix. The
heavy lidded peoples luxuriate
over the business-graves of hun
dreds who have refused to accept
this trui5m
And remember every time
you BUY" 10 cents worth of
space in a worthless advertising
medium, you are throwing nine
dollars and ninety cents into the
lake.
That isn't even charity-it's
just foolishness!

Winthrop Board Nearly Ready to Re.
port Draft of Bill.

The Winthrop board, appointed to
prepare a bill providing for the ANAL
gamation of the Pay Corps and the
Construction Corps with the line of the
Navy. has about completed its work.
1t is understood that the bill will make
it optional with staff officers as to
whether they qualify for line duty. If
they qualify for the line, staff officers
will become available for any uuty.
On the other hand, if they do not so
qualify, they will be assigned to shore
duty until they retire.
The officers of both staff bureaus
will be placed in one list and they will
be given the title in the line to which
their rank entities them. For instance,
pay officer with the rank of com
mander will become a commander in
the line. If he should not qualify for
the line he will still be known as a
commander. 1t is estimated that il
will require about fifteen years to COM
plete the proposed amalgamation.

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.
Postal Rules for Christmas Follow
Injunctions and be Safe.

The postoffice authorities are anxious
that there will be no delay of mail
matter during the Christmas rush,
and therefore would all attention to
the following injunctions which should
be closely observed and followed:
"Do not affix Christmas seals to
the addressed side of mail matter. for
| TO do so makes il unavailable. Such
matter will be returned to the sender,
if known, but if sender is not known,
it will so to the dead letter Office.
Christmas seals affixed to mail
| matter, so "a to seal the contents,
makes it subject to first-class rate of
postage, so beware how the seals are
affixed.
g 1t is much safer to send packages
by registered mail, but if not the ad-
| dress should be plainly written with
in on the packages and the sender
should also have his or her name and
address plainly written on the pack
age as well.
The postoffice department has is
sued an order regarding the first two
injunctions given, while the last is
merely piece of advice.
Another good piece of advice offered
| by the postmaster is that Christmas
presents be sent as early as possible
with the injunction written thereon
don't open until Christmas. This
avoids a possible delay and at the
same ime the government allows this
to be done without making the ship
ment subject to the first-class postage
rate.
If these rules are observed there will
not be so many packages lost or delay
ed in transit The rules brought to
attention by Postmaster Randall will
be observed at every postoffice in the
United States, so patrons should be
careful to follow the suggestions
made
