Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches and Ills of Putnam
 People

As one weak link weakens a chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final break ing-down.
 Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and gen eraily when their activity is lesSened the whole body suffers.
 Aches and pains and langu0r and urinary ills frequently come, and there k an everiucreu>ing tendency towards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's dis. ease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys. Putnam testimony is proof of their effectiveness.
 Mrs. samuel Martineau, Putnam says: "FOr years 1 suffered from kid. ney trouble, the worst symptom being pain in the small Of the back. l was also bothered by weakness of my kid . neys. l noticed that the kidney seere- lions were unnatural and when | heard Deans Kidney Pills highly rec commended l began using them. They removed the pains in my lback and made me feel better in every way"

FireSlOneS Again Help to Win Victory

1 Word comes from Los Angeles that a contest was held recently in that vi cinitY which was conceded to be the greatest event of its kind ever held. Twenty.four motor trucks of various III akes and classes were pitted against each other in a strenuous run of over POO miles against the heaviest kinds of odds.
 in laying out route for this test, a committee appointed by the Motor Truck dealers Association of Califor- mia, selected the worst roads to be found in that section, to make the af fair a real test of endurance. Some of the roads were in such condition that the touring car in which the commit tee travelled, found the greatest diffi- culty in making their way. Rough dirt roads with deep ruts, stretches of deep sand, where the wheels slid and foundered almost helplessly, steep hill climbs, slippery oiled roads, and in fact every kind of obstacle was arfang. ed for, that would make the affair real test of tires and mechanism.
 Starting al Los Angeles, they bore southeast to Riverside; then north through Redlsnds and San Bernardino and then westward again 10 Los An geles.
 The best score was chalked up in fa- Nor of n l50t pound Mepomiaee trDek. In the two days Of travel they con- stunned about sixteen gallons of gaso- line, one quart of oil and one quart of water. They made the last ninety one miles in tour hours and twenty eight minutes. The driver gives much of the credit for his victory to the be- havior of the Firestone tires with which the truck was equipped. adv

Mack was sent 10 Jail from Danieison r. years ago. Upon entrance prisoners are made io leave all of their papers and other things they may have on their persons in the office.
