Mrs. Rebecca Burton, aged Al
years, living on the James B. Keith
farm, near Leipsic, died Tuesday,
February goth, under sad, but un-
usual circumstances. Mrs. Burton,
as we'll as her son, had been ill
with pneumonia. Monday night,
while the nurse was absent from
the room, Mrs. Burton, in her de-
lerium, raised a window and made
her escape. When the nurte re.
turned to the room she noticed Mrs.
Burton was not there and at once
began search, but it was not until
several hours afterward was she
found, and then under a bridge
crossing a small stream passing
through the farm. Exposure in thin
garments FASTENED the disease and
death resulted shortly afterwards.
The funeral was held Friday after
noon from the home of Funeral Di-
rector Pritchett, in Dover, in order
that the son might not know of the
death of his mother. Interment at
Lakeside Cemetery.

Is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Thousands of people rely upon it.
Here is one case:
Cove Marsh, of Spruance City,

ment, as they certainly were of
benefit to me. l was afflicted with
kidney trouble for about two years.
There was a constant pain in the
small of my back that made me
nervous and miserable and every
time l caught cold, the trouble was
worse. Someone told me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and did so.

TERRIFIC STORM AT DOVER
High Wind Proves Very Destructive to
Town and Country Property

Town and Country Property
Dover was visited by a most Sc
we're wind and rain storm Wednes-
day night. Trees were uprooted,
chimneys and trapdoors bown off
and houses unroofed. 1t occurred
between II and IL o'clock Wednes-
day night after a warm day when
there had been some thunder. The
tin roof of the store of A. M. Pol
lett & Co. was completely torn off
and carried $50 feet where it landed
on telephone cable. The roof was
22x50 feet in size and came near
crashing into the residence of w.
S. Haman. The streets were COW
cred with broken limbs and fallen
trees. The stable and barn on the
Lowber farm, near Dover, now
owned by Frank H. Shakespeare, of
Smyrna, and tenanted by John H.
Ennis, was wrecked and his eight
horses were imprisoned. A driving
horse that was kept in a box stall
escaped and went to the house and
gave the alarm by neighing. Mr..
Ennis and his help were forced to
cut away the timbers and haul the
horses from the debirs by block and
fall. All of them were badly hurt,
but it is thought only one will die
from the injuries received. All of
his vehicles were badly wrecked.
The tin roof of a new building was
torn off and carried half a mile. 1t
is reported that the barn and stable
of Willard Lafferty, in st. Jones,
were also wrecked. Quite lot of
slate was blown from the steeple of
Holy Cross Church and hurled half
square away.

How Cold Affects the Kidneys

Avoid taking cold if your kidneys
are sensitive. Cold congests the
kidneys, throws too much work upon
them, and weakens their action.
