. IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Cont Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The
best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. It cures all ills which are
caused by weak or disordered kid
neys. Residents of this vicinity are
constantly testifying to permanent
cures.
William Asbach, Davis City, Ia,
says: II suffered for two years
from kidney trouble. There was an
intense pain in my back when stoop-
ing or lifting, and in the morning
was tired and lame Headaches
were common, and at times my sight
became blurred. The kidney secre-
tons were too frequent in passage
and contained sediment. Since TAX
ing Doan's Kidney Pills, the pains
have disappeared and my kidneys
have been normal. I heartily recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills to other
sufferers"

Lawrence Jacob Kicks, the Sec
Kicks was born in Davis City, on
the morning of July 4th, 1896, and
died at the home of his parents,
Wednesday evening, June 21, 1911,
aged IA years, II months and II
days.
Lawrence was a bright lad, duti-
full son, and in his classes at school
he was studious, attentive to his
studies, and seldom if ever failed to
make his grades, and pass with his
class to the next grade, although the
work seemed to be harder for him
than it was for some of his class
mates.
He was converted in the revival
meetings held in Davis City, by
Evangelist Walt Bryant, February
and March, 1911 and united with
the NJ. E. church. He was baptized
with a class of forty-two, and was
faithful attendant at both church
and Sunday school and at the Ep-
worth League, taking an active part
in the work of each. An honest
conscientious boy, he was trusty and
faithful in every duty and to every
task devolving on him; courteous
to his teachers, his classmates and
all with whom he came in contact
Lawrence was we'll liked by every
one, and numbered his friends by

PRlNCET0N'S BIG FIRE
Concluded from page ~

The great distance between these
two buildings, with a number Of big
trees in the space, and the good work
of the fire fighters here checked the
progress of the flames. Had the op-
era house burned, the Monarch store
would have surely gone, with
strong probability of taking other
houses and the Ballew lumber yard
below.
The wind from the south caused
the flames to lap over the street and
catch the buildings north of the burn
ed blocks, although some of them
were a great distance away. The
telephone building, frame house
north of the Bailey building went
up in smoke. From this, flames
spread to the residence owned by P.
Stacy and occupied by J. H. Daven-
ports family. DR.. G. NJ. Bristow's
residence, north of this, was saved
by hard work. A hose, a force
pump and a good we'll of water aid
ed here.
Bane & Foley's brick livery sta
Bile, north of the Buren, buildings, was
soon consumed. Flames spread
from this to a frame barn to the
north, and on to DR.. Bristow's barn.
A frame house north of the Lind
sey building, owned by J. D. Dykes
and occupied by Frank Solel with a
blacksmith shop, burned next. From
the lumber yard, the residence of
j. D. Dykes caught and burned
quickly. Two residences back of Eli
Mullinax, owned by him and ocu-
pied by Miss Ora Baker and Mrs.
Mary Moore, were consumed. The
fire spread from these to a couple OF
barns to the north

an italian army doctor, he was struck
by a characteristic that distinguished
the honest soldier from his vicious COM

tattooed, and the nature Of the designs
that covered his body. Still, this obser-
walton bore no fruit at that time, but
two years later the young physician be-
gan to apply experimental methods to
the study of psychiatry. The discovery,
in the skull OF a notorious bandit, Of a
depression not found in normal human
