Is It Your Kidneys?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is on
ly muscular weakness. when urinary
trouble sets in tqey think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all
the other symptoms of kidney disor-
ders. That il where the danger often
lies. You should realize that these
troubles often lead to dropsy or Br;ght's
disease. An effective remedy for weak
or diseased kidneys is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents of this vicinity are
constantly testifying.

Good But Needs Amendment

After observing the operation of the
new jury law, we are of the opinion
that it will work well even in the coun-
try parishes, if slightly amended. The
idea is correct one, but the court
should be given authority to order the
sheriff to summons tales jurors in the
old way, If the prosecution and the de-
Tense should both agree to it, as in
many instances this would reduce ex-
penses and save the time of the court.
and would work no harm to either side.

NV. Duncan Company Believe in VAL
ne of Advertising.

We have been pleased this week to
learn from j. w. Duncan Co. that they
have had splendid success with the big
distress sale they have had on for
the past ten days. They have been
selling goods at cost price, as adver-
tised, and their sales have more than
doubled. which they attribute to the
drawing quality of advertising in the
Chronicle. This is the secret of all
successful advertising: First, have the
goods; second, advertise and let the
people know you have them; third,
stick to low and uniform prices as ad-
vertised. See bsg I'D in this issue an
nouncing continuance of sale.

CHRISTMAS


That is the one never-to- be-Iost-
sight-of fact about the whole happy,
crowded, merry, dazzling season.
Moscow has it's full share of fam
lilies in which this Christmastide there
will be no children around whom to
shape the loveliest and most fascinat-
ing celebration of all the year. Per-
haps the youngsters have grown up
have been any tiny feet pattering
cautiously and clumsily up and down
the stairway or any shrill baby voices
rousing the household in the early
morning. Perhaps the little lives that
gave such unspeakably dear promise
of a sweet fruition have been snatched
when still in bud. However it has
come about, there will be in many
house no reason for decorating the
fragrant tree, no cause to drape the
mantel with the row of stockings, no
one from whom to hide rocking
horse or a dolly's bureau.

deprived, and there is no need that
such should be the case. Indeed, sad
ly enough, there are in Moscow enough
forlorn and poor children bereft of one
or both parents to supply every child
less family with the first and only es-
sential ingredient of the best sort of
Christmas
We fancy that all of these grown-ups
not busy with their own sons and
daughters and nieces and nephews
would be more than glad to adopt tenn
porarily a child or two. We do not
believe that the people who have chill
dren have any monopoly on love for
children or on the delight in making
them happy. 1t is our idea that there
are a lot of people here who would
be glad to know the names and adj
dresses of youngsters whose Christmas
will not stand much of a chance of
being anything but a bleak and empty
day. asl3
What fun it would be to go to the
shops with Bobbie's or Susie's or
Harry's specifications and pick out just
the cap and mittens that will fit just
the games and toys they will enjoy.

ious freight of oranges and nuts and
candy and know that on Christmas.

On Thanksgiving day box of
goodies was taken to home in which
there is no mother, and in which a
crippled father has hard time. taking
care of two little boys. The room was
bare and draughty and dark. Low
down on the wall was a row of nails Il
from which hung a pitifully ragged /.
little batch of clothes. Just as the .
person who set the box down was
stealing away, one of the children
burst into the room. He could not
see the carefully wrapped chickens in
the bottom of the box, or the Jyegeta- Il
bles, or canned fruit, or the delicious
cookies and cakes, but. his eye. caught
sight of the oranges and apples ana +
nuts, spread temptingly on top. He :
