A Woman Finds All Her Energy and

Rock Island women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life a burden.

all tell of sick kidneys and warn you
of the stealthy approach of dropsy
or Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills are for the kidneys only. They
attack kidney diseases by striking
at the cause. Here's proof of 1t in
a Rock Island woman's words:
Mrs. X. Peterson, 1906 Third

CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Extensive damage to
wheat in Argentine gave prices today a
sudden upward jerk. Opening figures here
were the same as Saturday night to 2 1-2c
higher. May started at $1.0001.01, gain
of 1-4@1-2c, and jumped up to 1.01 Ia.
Corn appeared 70 be overbought. but
rallied owing to the strength of wheat.
May opened unchanged to a shade lower
at 81 3-4Q7-S to rs, touched 81 ga and
recovered to S..
Oats suffered from lack of demand. May
started at Saturday nights level, so and
eased off to 40 7-S@50.
Heavy selling on the part of leading
packing concerns made provisions weak.
Initial sales showed a drop of 1-2 to zoe
9.47 1-2 to $50 for lard and $40 for ribs.
This means that no new trial can be
procured from the supreme court as a
body at least until December 4. 1t does
not, however, preclude the packers from
applying to Associate Justice Day, now at
Canton, Ohio, for an appeal from the or
der of the United States circuit court at
whicago, which announced that it would
not release the packers from custody on
''habeas corpus proceedings
A liberal decrease in the visible supply
of wheat led to some reaction. The close
was steady with May 101, net gain of

PENSACOLA PROGRESS
is BEING WATCHED
Charleston News and Courier.

Pensacola, Florida, is not a large
town and it is not wealthy town. A
| few years ago it was not a beautiful
town. Streets ankle deep in sand did
not help business. Delivery wagons
were death to horses and mules. Au-
| tomobiles had difficulty in getting
about. The town stood almost still,
mainly because it was so hard to get
about it.
We publish this morning an editorial
article from The Pensacola Journal.
| The significant thing in it is this:
THE bond trustees for the city Ct
Pensacola will today open bids for ten
| more miles of street paving, and will
possibly award the contract today
Ten more miles Of paving, and it was
only a few months ago that all of
the main streets of the town were
paved. The ten additional miles of
modern roadway will mean a town
completely paved, from one end to the
other. Incidentally, it may be noticed,
| two new railroads are now building to
Pensacola. Has the determination of
the citizens of the place to have a
| clean and beautiful city been a fac
| tor in persuading these new roads to
enter? We think so.
Imagine Charleston with ten more
miles" of modern pavement! What a
cause for congratulation such a condi-
| ton would be- What an impetus 10
business it would be- How many own
ers of shacks would it shame into
building modern housesi How many
visitors would it attract to the city!
How many new enterprises would il
| bring to town? What a comfort il
would be to ears long tired by the
noise of iron shoes on cobble stones OF
| Belgian blocks!
Yet Charleston was the first OF
American cities to have paving of any
kind. The Charleston of those days
was progressive, radically so. John
Adams wondered that such a finished
town should exist on this side OF the
Atlantic. Are we not using now some
OF the same pavement that was put In
by farseeing men at a time when any
pavement was considered an extrava-
gance? The town has grown. Her
streets are now a disgrace. positive
and not to be explained away. Nc
subtle tongue can make proper apol-
ogy for the condition of our highways
They are a certain reproach to the
city. They ough not to be. Is paving
material SO expensive that Charleston
canot get it? Are we so contented
with what We have that we fear to get
something better? Surely not, The
citizenship of the town must assert it.
self. There must be early action in
this matter. Some positive scheme OF
paving the streets must be evolved
carrying with it an ultimate design to
have the entire city properly paved
This question of disgraceful streets is
decidedly one of the most IMPORTANT
and immediate questions now before
the public.

is THE WORLD WELL
LOST AT SUCH A COST7

We have had several instances IateIv
of couples who have thought the world
well lost for love. Putting aside all
the conventionalities, they have evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds that no
criticism, no rule of conduct set ND
by an unappreciative and prudish
world, shall bind them to a life of
monotony.
These couples take no thought for
the morrow. They seem as irresponsi-
bic as Aucassin and Nicolette. that
pair of young lovers who lived in
day when romance was rampant; when
people loved and fought in a sort of ir-
responsible state of existence which is
entirely out of touch with our modern
and more prosaic civilization.
Indeed, we have the whole of Aucas
sins philosophy in his reply when he
was told that the pleasures of para
disc were not for those who loved
without license.
I'm paradise what have I to win >
Therein 1 seek not to enter. but only
to have Nicolette, my sweet lady that
/ love so well. For into paradise go
none but such folk as l shall tell thee
now: Thither go the same old priests
and halt old men and manned, and
such folk as wear old clouthed frocks,
and naked folk per1shing Of hunger
and thirst, and of cold, and of little
ease. These be they that go into para
disc, with them I have naught to
make. But into hell would 1 fam go;
for into hell fare the goodly clerks. and
goodly knights that fall in JOURNEYS
and great wars, and stout men at arms
and all men noble. And thither pass
the sweet ladies that have two lovers,
or three; thither goes the gold and
the silver, and harpers, and makers
and the princes of this world. With
these I. would gladly go, let me but
| have with me Nicolette, my sweet

Lovers who have taken things into
their own hands will read this rhap-
sody and exciaim, He has spoken for
u.s."
remember young and ardent gen.
tleman who used to quote with
fervor:
For just one kiss that your lips have
given,
The lost and beautiful past to me,
would gladly barter my hopes OF
heaven
And all the bliss of eternity"
In the raptures and languors of first
love such things may seem reasona-
bic. But that staid married folk should
desert their partners for such romantic
reasons does not seem possible, vet
lhey 90 IL constantly, and ind that
heaven and paradise are connected
with a vague future, and that they
have to do in the meantime with the
same old questions of the butcher,
| baker and the candlestrick maker.
They find that Mary still hates to
get up in the morning and that the
rev Richard has some of the same
faults as the old John. For men
are just plain men after all, and
women are not angels except when
they are idealiZed in the hearts of
loving husbands.
Most of our lives are made UP of
everyday events. For a little while
by some great revolution of protest
against existing conditions, a man or
woman may achieve novelty. But it
is great question whether the ro-
nance which separates a pair of low
ers from. their world of friends and
acquaintance has the eompensations
which make for happiness.
