IL you have been ordinarily observaut
of public matters, you are aware that a
contract for two OF the largest classes Of
state printing was awarded to the Water
vile Sentinel Publishing Company in
1911; that objection TO such a contract
was made on the ground that Cyrus W.
Davis, secretary Of state, was an officer
and stockholder of the Sentinel Publish
ing Company; that the question was
finally referred by the governor and
council to the Supreme Court, which on
Nov. 18th last rendered q decision that
the contract with the Sentinel Publish
ing Company was illegal. You may
have observed all this; but unless you
have looked into the matter particularly,
you haven't found out how the state
printing for the past ten months has
been done, since the contract was de-
clared illegal. An article recently pub
lished in the Portland Express gives
Information regarding IL, which has not
been generally known. In accordance
Gil, the printing was continued by How
ward c. Morse, trustee for the bond
holders Of the Sentinel Publishing Com
pany, at the prices named in the contract
with that company. That Is, though the
contract with the Sentinel Company was
illegal, the printing has all been done by
them and apparently will continue to be
so done for the rest of this administra-
tion, by order of the governor and
council. II seems that this "business
administration" which advertises It's
financial transactions with such a
flourish Of trumpets, 10 to make no at
tempt to bring the matter Of the state
printing within the plain provisions OF
the law.

There are two ways to tell whether you

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
Insurance.. and if there is any sign of kid
Eey trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretfu]. nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
lions. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale color.
PASSAGES too frequent, profuse, or much
reduced, or scaldina and painful.
Sandy, GRITTY or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers
or a jelly-like thickenina.
Staining of the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things eaten, but if the changed APP
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.
Doan's Kidney Pills correct and regu-
late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away

THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives Of every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain N effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties hat strengthen the stomach, liver
and bowels and is remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. It is
equally as valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin In soc and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried IL
send your name and address to Dr. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington ST., Mon
ticello, ILL.,, and he will be very glad to
send a sample bottle for trial.

A LEAKAGE THAT CAN BE EASILY
STOPPED.

How many people who read this article.
realize the weighty influence Of one little
necessity Of hfe-baking powder--on the
cost Of living.
Yet it is a leakage that can easily be
stopped IL the housewife will only pay a
little more attention to the choice of her
baking powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap big Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking, and the
result Is that more Is lost In one or two
spilled bakings than you spend on bak-
ing powder IN the whole year. The cheap
big. Can" Baking Powders should be
avoided.
On the other hand, many housewives
feel that a baking powder is of no value
unless they pay so cents pound for it
the price charged for the high priced
Trust brands. This is mistake. as
the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for Csc. per pound IL the man
ufacturer is satisfied with a reasonable
profit. There is one brand on the market
that meets these requirements. 1t is
CALUMET BAKING POWDER, recon-
mended by leading physicians and chem
lists: used in millions of homes; and
given the Highest Award at the Worlds
Pure Food Exposition.
