outline proves conclusively that Mar

! this canning club work; bringing it
as she does into the rural schools
| and homes and never losing an OPP
portunity to press its usefulness on
any occasion; is giving to our county
the broadening out of our moral life,
and taking hold in systematic way.

solve eating problems. She cited one
instance where man became so in
terested in the canning work that he
put up 5000 cans of beans by which
what was lost in short crops, etc.,
will he the means of paying ferti-
lizer and other bills.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Fastidious automobile drivers who
of ordering a car after their own
views and ideas, now insists on be-
ing measured for the car and have
the wheel anC various other parts
used in the operation of the cars
made to fit their anatomy. For in
stance, a long-legged man needs a
little more room than one of shorter
limbs, and in order to get the right
measurements one automobile build
ing concern has supplied principal
agents with frame by which pros
pective patrons may readily fix the
right point for the greatest COM
fort. The height of the seat and the
tilt of the footboard and the loca-
tion of the wheel may all be arrived
at by means of adjustable parts.
The policy of many of the larger
telephone companies of this country
Is to cut out the unlimited service
and establish in its place the meas
ured service, and the object of this
change Is largely to cut out the
many frivolous and unnecessary
calls which are made where there
is no limit on the number or length.
This object has been only par
TALLY secured by the measured sys-
tenn. and the telephone officials are
contemplating the adoption of a new
meter by the use of which telephone
service will be measured in the same
manner as the delivery of gas and
electricity THE new meter measures
not the number of calls, but the du-
ration and exact number of minutes
the instrument has been in use is
shown, and the charges made ac-
cordingly.

With Matt Kennedy, "Everybody's

'"The Liberty Girls" with Matt Ken

dispensers and musical purveyors who
have an entirely new line of up-to-
date entertainments will hold sway at
the Empire Theatre for the week.
The united efforts of Matt Kennedy,
than whom there is no better come
dian toway, Carl George, the clever
German comedian; Jos. Ward, light
comedy Juvenile; Oliver DeGrant, the
silver-voiced tenor; Gene Gomez, i'm
personator, etc. This strong cast
makes the opening extravaganza, "The
Alimony Club" one of the most hui
morous conceits in one act and three
scenes during which is also intro
duced burlesque on "The Mikado,"
and they are also responsible for the
laughter that marks the progress of
the closing act of the performance,
"The Troubles of Adolph." The au-
thor of the two burlesques has pro-
vided many musical and dancing num-
bers and the management of the COM
pany has supplied an abundance of
pretty costumes of original design. In
all the star olio there are many splen-
did vaudeville acts, including Gene
Gomez, female impersonator who
rivals Julian Eltinge for artistic and
popular ability. The real feature will

sents their famous death-defying ven

NO REASON FOR It
You Are Shown a Way Out.

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tortures
of an aching back, the annoyance of
urinary disorders, the pains and dan
gers of kidney ills will fail to heed
the word of a resident of this locality
who has found relief. The following
is convincing proof:
Mrs. Lloyd Swarts, 802 Third ST.,
Monroe, Mich, says: "For quite awhile
I had been troubled by kidney weak
ness. My head ached, l had pains
through my loins and was nervous and
dizzy. When l stopped over, sharp
pains darted through the small of my
back. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised and asked different people
about them. Everyone said that they
were good and 1 began taking them.
They soon relieved me of the trouble.
1t is a pleasure to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to anyone who has kidney
trouble"
