WHY 1T SUCCEEDS
Because It's For One Thing Only, and
River Falls People Appreciate This

Nothing can be good for every
thing.
Doing one thing well brings sue
cess.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one
thing only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is River Falls evidence to
prove their worth.
Mrs. Roy 6. Hyatt, Cedar ST.,
River Falls, Wis, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills helped me greatly and
thus earned my hearty endorsement.
My back ached intensely and | had
dizzy and nervous spells. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief"
Mrs. Hyatt is only one Of many
River Falls people who have CRATE
fully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills.
IF your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for
kidney remedy--ask DISTINCTLY
FOR DoAN's KIDNEY PILLS, the
same that Mrs. Hyatt had-the rem
edy backed by home testimony.

SLAUGHTER OF CALVES

From figures obtained through
the Bureau of Animal Industry i
appears that the slaughter of calves
during 1911 totaled fully 5000, 900
Another authority has stated that
during ten years, while the popula
ton of the country increased FL pei
cent, the total number of cattle de.
creased 9 per cent and the slaugh-
ter of calves increased 600 per cent
during the same period.
The alarming increase in the
slaughter of calves is generally at
tributed to the scarcity and high
price of beef and to the high cost
of grain with which to feed these
calves to maturity. To increase the
slaughter of calves 600 per cent
while there is a shortage of cattle
certainly looks like suicide to the
cattle industry and does not look
promising for its future.
The average weight of a calf
when dressed for market is IS
pounds and the skin averages 10
pounds. If these calves were al
lowed to reach the age of Two or
three years, they would have pro-
duced an average of LOO pounds
of dressed meat each and so pounds
of hide. This would give US an in
creased Weld in meat of 9,000.000,-
900 and an increase of 800, 900, 900
pounds of hides. These hides
would give US an increase of leather
of fully 279,oOO,o0O square feet or
nearly sufficient to allow 10000, 900
adults each new pair of shoes.
The foregoing figures show the
intimate connection there is between
the consumption of meat, the sup
ply of leather and the production of
shoes. When there is less meat for
an increasing population to eat,
there is less hides and leather to
supply shoes for an increasing num-
Der of people.
When we consider that our scan
ty leather supply is heavily drawn
upon for other industries outside
of shoes, we can understand why
shoes have advanced in price to
very material extent and must con-
tinue to do so in the future. The
remedy for this condition does not
lie with the shoe manufacturer or
retail shoe dealer, The question
can only be solved by raising more
cattle, eating more meat, thus pro-
viding more hides SO that shoe
materials may be more plentiful.
Until such changes come to pass
or as long as shoes are made prin-
cipally of leather it is probable that
advances in the price of shoes will
be compulsory each season.

TO TAX TOBACCO FOR ROADS
Representative Warburton Of Wash
lngton Has Novel Plan to Raise
$so,ooo,ooo Yearly.

The constructing of comprehen-
sive system of national highways out
of tax imposed upon the consumers
of tobacco is a proposition which Rep
resentative Warburton of Washington
has embodied in the form of bill
introduced in the house. He proposes
that tax shall be imposed so light as
not to be felt by the users Of tobacco,
but every puff of smoke from burning
tobacco will represent a part of a
system of highways.
The plan contemplates trunk lines
connecting the capitals of the different
states with the national capital at
Washington and with each other and
running to the different national
parks. The cost OF construction is to
be paid out of tax similar to that of
1879 on tobacco. II is calculated that
the tax will raise $S0,0OO,000 a year.
or more than twice the amount of in
ternal revenue now collected.

Beyond Nine Per Cent,

In the past three years 1t is roughly
estimated that the percentage of i'm
proved roads in the United States has
gone we'll beyond per cent. and posi-
bly, close to 10 per cent. 1t Is estl-
mated that II 20 per cent. of the public
highways were improved-each high
way being selected and improved with
view to the proportionate traffic up
on TIA high degree OF efficiency in
highway transportation would be
reached. 1t is figured that millions Of
dollars would be saved annually in the
transportation OF crops. the wear and
tear on horses and vehicles. and in
the minimizing OF the waste In truck
farming. Where roads are bad. the
farmers frequently find It impossible
to get their products to the shipping
points and thus perishable products
are wasted, perceptibly increasing the
cost Of living.

NttiL.zing Tie Country Church.

The address of DR.. NJ. b. Me-
Mutt at the 54th annual convention
of the Ohio State Sunday School
Association in session, on Vital
izing the Country Church." was
gem, and we quote few para
graphs OF it that are well worth
reading, viz:
Country people have lett the
farms in great number In a large
percentage of cases 1t is the farm
er's wife that takes the family to
town or city. While the farmer has
all kinds of machinery to tighten
his work, his wife has very few de-
Wees in the house for making her
labor easier or for saving her
strength. Her life is often drudge.
Many farmers wives are still
pumping water by hand and lug
ging 1t around in buckets Chris
tianity has not done all for farm
er's wife that IT can do when it
gives peace to her soul and then
sends her to bed with the headache
from pumping water by hand and
Juggling 1t around in buckets, when
it might easily be drawn from pipes.
I'VE have, somehow, failed to
connect religion and the church
with these practical human inter
ests, which so vitality concern our
daily lives. Now If we would en-
large our conception of Christian
work so as to include everything
we do, and let the church concern
itself with the whole of life,spend-
ing its life freely for the common
good 1t would find its life, the
more abundant life which Jesus
brought to the world. ."

Let money spent for roads be levied

Illinois, for instance, 81 per cent, of
the total taxable property is located in
incorporated cities and towns Should
the SO per cent comprising country
