INCREASING MISERY
Mineral Point Kidney Sufferers Get
Little Resi- or Comfort.

There is little sleep, little rest, little
peace for the sufferer from kidney
trouble Life is one continual round
of pain. You can't rest at night with
bad back, with twings and "stabs"
of pain, with annoying urinary dis
orders, backaches, lameness and nerv-
BUSINESS. You can't be comfortable at
work with darting pains and binding
dizzy spells. Neglect these ailments
and serious troubles follow. Begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills at the first
sign of disorder You will work better
as the kidneys get better, rest better
as your back grows stronger. Mineral
Point readers will find convincing proof
in the following testimony:

The Publishers Dolorous Patrons.

Though somewhat tardy, newspaper
publishers are beginning to think hard
concerning the "free publicity evil -
They are viewing the matter from a
different angle than heretofore; they
are beginning to realize that they have
held too lightly the value of their news
paper space; they understand now that
the publicity Of any enterprise or I'M
dertaking, private or public, is the
most necessary part of its success, and
that an appropriation covering publici-
ty should be q part Of every plan as
much SO as that for rent, light, heat,
help, etc

The statistics given below show The
number of books loaned by the public
library during the months specified.
On July 1, 1911, the library became "A
city institution and the necessary ex-
peuses have since been paid out of city
funds. With the new opportunity for
proper library work new interest be-
came manifest and the circulation
which had fallen off has rapidly in
creased The travelling libraries loaned
by the state have been of great help.
1t is hoped that the funds of the
library will permit the addition of
more books; books that will be of use
and that will give pleasure to their
readers.
