minimize exceptional causes as the excessive use of
meat and alcohol. The aged frequently complain of
pain across the small of the back when STOPPING
covering Themselves and they ascrbe this to kidney
disease. The kidneys naturally become smaller in
old age and if they are overworked, they become
diseased but the contracted kidney produces pain
nor any serious results Some think this pain in the
back is lumbago, or too much acid in the blood, or
rheumatism, or sciatica, or some disease still more
remote from the seat of the pain. It is simply the
pain that accompanies excessive exercise of the
stiffened muscles of the back and the joints between
the vertebra. We frequently see some old fellow
hobble along painfully and resting his after
every few steps. He says he has the "rheumatics."
In most cases it is due to broken down arches of the
insteps and stiffening of the hip, knee and ankle
joints that in the process of aging, and all the
rheumatic medicines and liniments in the world
won't do particle of good.

What The Country Paper Does For Advertisers.

We repeat that advertising in
country newspapers, properly
utilized, is the most valuable ad.
vertising in the world for its
cost. We urge advertisers to
take advantage of the opportuni.
ties offered by the country news
papers. We add, incidentally,
that we don't own and never ex.
pect to own any country news.

A country editor with five hun
dred circulation or more for his
weekly can talk TO FIVE HUN.
DRED GOOD, TYPICAL
AMERICAN FAMILIES, ALL
DESIRABLE CUSTOMERS.
Every publisher of a country
newspaper should be, through
his advertising columns, the
trusted and valued agent and
promoter of at least ten great
merchandising concerns.
The country publisher alone is
able through his columns TO
SELL ANYTHING. His readers
BUY EVERYTHING that is
for sale, from nails to pianos,
from pills to automobiles. They
buy paint and roofing and stoves
and lamps, hundreds of COM
modities that the city dweller
never buys.
There is not a community in
the United States in any one of
which ten or even fifty great
American merchants and manu-.
facturers would not gladly hire

che Campos a Mexican rebsl load
er from southern chihuahua, is
moving northward It is reported
tonight to join the insurrecto band
under General Salazar, which has
heen lowering near the interna.
tional line and menacing Juarez.
Salazsr has a force estimated
at 1900 men. Campos' Army Is
reported to be of about the same
strength.
Rifles and cartridges for rebels
in northern Mexico appear to be
supplied from some interior point
and not smuggled over the Ameri-
can border as heretofore. Among
other methods the rebels declare
they secure ammunition by means
of women camp followers who
visit the Federal camps and ex-
change liquor for rifle ammuni-
tion. The native liquor is 80 in.
expensive that it is said this
method of supplying the rebel
troops is cheaper and more cer-
tain than by the purchase and
smuggling of cartridges.
